Upcoming Yasuo Nerf/Buff? 7.2

So, Yasuo's E is getting "Nerfed" so to speak. Its getting base damage reduced, but it now has an AD scaling. Assuming he still has the AP scaling. So, his laning was touched because of the base damage nerf, so his early dueling won't be that great. I'm hoping he still gets stacks on his E with the AP part of it, because it says that the AD doesn't apply stacks. So given this, it's like nerfing his early dueling, but buffing his late dueling, because of the 20% AD scaling, and you should have more AD late game than you started with early. I'm not sure what to think of this, I'd probably need to see it in game to see how it works, but it looks like a buff and nerf. A nerf to early dueling, and a buff to late splitting. If there is any info I left our or misread, it would be greatly appreciated, this is what I figured out from what I read.

Interesting. His early game is already pretty weak but it does seem like they are trying to highlight that he is a late game monster with that change.

coming from a yasuo one trick this is honestly a step in the right direction. having slightly less mobility and not being able to abuse E base damage as much in early game will definitely make his laning phase easier to deal with (which is why yasuo is a little problematic).

At least buff his ultimate, it actually feels lackluster in the late game when you can just auto for more damage.

It's a nerf to his level 2-3 all in, pretty big but we'll see.
