How to nerf Yasuo

First off, I decided to post this because of how irritating it was to see so many threads complaining about how OP Yasuo is, yet not one of them offered any sort of solution to the problem. I think we all know he's OP, you don't need to make a whole fucking 1 line thread about it saying "Yasuo's OP, fuck you Riot." That's not helping anyone.

_Anyways, here's my proposed fix: _

So right now Yasuo's kind of broken because of how fast he can get access to crit chance, and how well he pairs with the new masteries.

I believe that a good way to nerf him is to reduce the damage his crit damage does. If the problem is that his crit chance is overwhelming, then a good fix would be to lower his crit damage. Currently his crits do a reduced 90% damage per attack, and a reduced 75% on his Q. I think that Riot should reduce his damage further to 85% crit damage, and 70% crit damage. Then, increase his crit damage by 5% for every 25% crit chance that he gets over 100%.

Why? Well right now Yasuo buys 2 items and pretty much has 100% crit chance, after that, any more crit items would just be stat blocked, which is a shame since a lot of the items seem pretty solid for Yasuo. Now, if he were to have day for example 125% crit damage, then he would have 90% damge on his AA crits, and 75% on his Q, and eventually he could even increase this up to 100% if he decided to just completely skip out on defensive items

These numbers could obviously be changed around for balance purposes, but the idea is that his early game is a bit weaker, an his late game can be stronger (if he does well). It just adds a time in the game where Yasuo can be shut down and prevented from snowballing, which is the current problem at the moment.

One of the few people who hasnt played him or riven for that matter.

One major problem with him is that he is a lane bully but also an extremely powerful late game champion aswell. Laning against him can be damn right oppressive to say the least. Zed is similar but he has 3 items that counter his ult qss zhonyias and mikaels.

Windwall is a stupidly powerful one point wonder ability

His ult procs off of the most stupid things that are often not true knock ups. I think even jannas r procs it. Riot need to define what knock ups are and fix this stupidness
