Yasuo Changes -There was once a Silver...

Hey guys,

once there was a Silver 1 guy talking about Yasuo. He considered his kit to be too hard 2 punish in the laning phase and the "nerfs" on his Q holdtime were more like a joke. This guy was realy depressed since he was facing Yasuo all the time. The more he started to think about the lower costs on crit items, the more he lost his mind. He was flamed for beeing salty and just a noob raging at balanced champions.

Now he read a thread about Yasuo getting changes and the realisation that his kit might be 2 strong on some points. He jumped in the air "Finally they understood...!" and went back to the client.

This guy, is me. Thanks for the effort Riot. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Play melee and kill Yas. It's pretty easy. The only reason that he is getting changed is because people hate him.

Then the silver player reread the article and saw that RIOT thought that Yasuo was overall a weak champion, especially as you climbed higher in rank, and their overall goal with the update will be not only to add agency to his lane phase (the opponent "feeling" like they have actual options to fight him and when its best to do so) but to make him a stronger champion overall.

The silver player then reworded this in his head to mean, "Yas will have some different counterplay and be buffed" and went back to being depressed, but hey, he got some great ice cream out of the deal! :P

All jokes aside, that article basically confirms that RIOT does not think Yasuo is strong at all, and that he needs some changes for the sake of frustration, but overall needs buffs because he really isnt very strong of a champion. Stats don't lie.
