Small buffs for Yasuo

HÍTLÆR·1/31/2020, 12:24:23 PM·9 votes·1,648 views

I feel like he is only viable botlane, and most of us can't play him there because we don't know basic lane mechanics as ADC.

He is for superlong out of meta, unplayable. I remember the times when Yasuo was only open or not, you didn't had to worry about the matchups because you could outplay everything.

With this braindead buffs Ekko, Lee Sin got you can't even dash and they kill you, Zed my easiest opponent is much more stronger since early game is now everything. Braindead Le Blanc, Akali all put Yasuo in C tier and he can't even damage Ornn or Sion anymore.

Slightly buff his ult penetration based on rank and double ult damage so he might see soloqueue play again and not only masochism when anyone picks him.

The only people getting triggered about this post will be not Yasuo mains and abusers of mages or crazy mobility dogs, bruisers or tanks.

Small buff riot please see our cries and do something. Thanks!

And I feel he is only nonviable in jungle. You need more than a "feel" to justify game changes

He is for superlong out of meta, unplayable

He wasn't out of meta since his release

Well sure the idea of buffing a champion that doesnt need buffs will trigger people who play something else

and abusers of mages or crazy mobility dogs, bruisers or tanks.

"and abusers of everything Yasuo can't counter with 1 button"

Short answer: HELL NO Long answer: Let's see why not

Yasuo, as you already mentioned is out of meta. Why does this happen? Because of the burst damage. He. alongside numerous other champions, can not cope with that due to their kits. Yasuo however, is very different. His kit is very powerful and in the right hands (which we most of the time do not see), he remains an extremely powerful pick which can single handedly carry games.

Then we got your ideas which, in all honestly, are as good as Riot's attempt to nerf Kassadin by giving him -5 speed (aka straight up miss the spot). Him getting more armor pen on his R will simply send him back Toplane and will still be ineffective since he will still be beaten by most melee champions. Won't make him feel better at Midlane Doubling his ult damage will just make him a pick or ban at Botlane, where he is already strong at. The only reason he is very good at botlane right now is how well his kit cooperates with CC oriented supports and how much damage his ultimate deals **and ** how good his followup is after he ults. Again, by doubling his Ult damage, he will remain botlane becoming the bane of every botlane player Won't make him feel better at Midlane

The champions you mention are meant to beat him

Ekko and Zed were always meant to be his counters. Yasuo's kit is oriented around him being a high risk-high reward champion while in reality he has medium risk, low reward with the reward changing based on the meta. However, the thing you don't seem to realise is the fact that he is still very powerful against the champions he was meant to beat. Yasuo's kit is all about engaging (risk) and due to how good his numbers are, him being able to shred (reward) those champions that rely on the enemy staying away from them (mages). He will still be able to beat a Xerath, a Ryze, a Twisted Fate and many more which are all champions that he can get close to. However, he can not bean champions that can engage and disengage at ease while also dealing huge amounts of burst damage which, since the very beggining, were meant to beat him

Tldr Yasuo does not need buffs. His winrates are down due to champions like the ones you mentioned which are (most) overpowered. The mindset of yours, no offense meant, is what brought the game to the situation it currently is in and to be more excact, the "X champion loses to YZ meta (=overpowered) champions = X champion needs to be buffed until he beats them", is what created the Burst meta we currently experience.

And as a side note, I doubt you are using any sort of voting bots (like someone mentioned above). It is just that threads named "X is weak, needs a buff" will bring the (most of the time) one sided mains of X champion which will upvote the thread just because they agree with their champ being better than others.

double the damage of yasuo ult = small buff... but tbh yasuo could use more mr/armor imo, but then again its my opinion, so im gonna get downvoted to oblivion [slayer-jinx-wink]

He's literally the most played champ mid lane.

To be honest, everyone knows on his main champion how to deal with yasuo and dont say no, since its actually true, beside mages cuz mages are mages ( I mean players :D )... Everyone look at yasuo as it it was trash champ to play, but when it comes to buffing then all you say is that he is fkin OP and broken and thus annoying to play against, but that everyone knows how to deal with yasuo because everyone can do something that fks up with yasuo no matter how good he is, is something everyone as if on purpose ignore. Melee eats him ( as long as they know what they are doing), assassins eats him, supports at botlane eats him even more than adc since he has to be close to adc to actually do something, junglers... Dont know where to get easy kills? Gank Yasuo! WOW! Beside adcs and half ( barely a half) of mages have it somewhat hard... (And some mages have it hard because of given player playing him rather than because of kit.)

Dont forget that yasuo is meme level, thats in how bad spot Yasuo ( I am personally happy when we play against yasuo, both as toplaner and also as jungler...)

I actually don't mind yasuo as damn near all of them manage to outplay themselves sometime during the game which can cause them to singlehandedly lose the game sometimes. The thing that bothers me about yasuo is that 0 / 4 yasuo with PD is still a very scary 1v1 threat and I can't kill him. That and his windwall. oh and the fact that he gets rewarded for playing like an ape.

Im all for yasuo buffs but first ...

Something needs to be done with his windwall .... and possible limit his mobility

Hes kinda a lane bully that scales so hard while sticking up a braum

They need to move any frustration he has to have any buffs done ....
