No response from riot to community disdain for toxic yasuo

When everyone was complaining about Fizz, Riot gave him a nerf that put him in a balanced state. It's been months since Yasuo has been over-powered and 0 response from Riot. This is discouraging.

"Fizz" and "balanced" use in the same sentence without a word "not" between them?

What a splendid joke, OP.

Just because Fizz is underplayed, doesn't mean he's balanced. He's still the cancer he was, before Riot "nerfed" him into AS tank.

They've been actively addressing both Yasuo and tank Yasuo, including items such as Frozen Mallet. Check out the posts by Meddler and other members of the QA team.

Ad utility spamming assassin things are the posterboys of league

If it scales well with ad itemization, doesnt have mana, and has utility out the ASS

It has a playerbase that would throw tyler1 level tantrums, and riot fears that. Tremendously.

It's because gutting Yasuo like everyone wants will not do shit. He is fine. It is his aa bug and his build.

They also don't listen to a bunch of brats who lose to Yasuo and then rage on the boards.

Except the problem with Yasuo is the build. TF is just too good (shown by TF Ekko, Fizz, being a thing now despite the nerfs, and top bans like Irelia, Hecarim etc also get TF into tank).

He hasn't been broken for months. You're just silver garb

It's been three years and they've still never even acknowledged that there are any problems with his kit design.

Things like this are a strong reason why I haven't bought Riot Points in years.

From Surrender@20:

Yasuo Attack speed per level lowered to 2.5 from 3.2 [Base attack speed also changed - need to confirm.] Attack delay to -0.067 from -0.05 Attack speed should now be [0.6699] from [0.658] Steel Tempest (Q) - [tooltip clarification] added to tooltip " is interruptible by crowd control " Last Breath (R) - secondary effect of increased bonus armor pen now only applies to Yasuo's critical strikes rather than all attacks. "For 15 seconds, Yasuo's critical strikes gain X% Bonus Armor Penetration - this affects Armor from items, buffs, runes and masteries"

Remember how they left Kassadin perma-banned?

Check the PBE, there are nerfs on him that only apply the armor pen from his ult to crits. Should make his bruiser build nowhere near as effective.

I know, it really frustrates me. Especially when they are so quick to gut champions like TahmKench and Azir. What makes this even sadder is that when Riot finally does do something about Yasuo it will probably only be a light tap to one of his abilities or two whereas with Tahm Kench and Azir they nerfed basically their entire kits harshly on each spell in one patch.
