hi everyone, i m from euw and here yasuo is banned a lot. like, A REAL LOT.
wanted to know what you think about it, if you think it should be changed/reworked to be more enjoyable for everyone or if he doesnt deserve the such banrate. thoughts?
Radiant Wukong3 votesSimple solution, take away his passive shield.
Rainfall2 votes+1 on removing the shield passive. why would a melee adc have a passive shield that scales with levels? th
Ollerus1 votesCounter question: Why does he need a second passive that gives him double critical chance for 10% reduction when an item gives 50% bonus on critical? But, Yasuo's problem isn't one thing, it's his whole kit is just overloaded. No costs, no cooldowns, outscales everything, blocks everything, cc built into 2 of his abilities on extremely low cooldowns (which are both knockups which can't be countered), and infinite gap closing.. They can't balance around Yasuo because he's designed to be ridiculous. Coordination and teamwork counters him, nothing else.. So he will always run over solo queue with his kit.
Rainfall1 votesi know the boards have mixed emotions about crit,but the double crit is what makes yasuo unique and it would be the last thing i would remove in yasuo. his knock up abilities can be countered if youre ranged.(part of the reason people want the shield passive to be removed is to give melee enemies a break against yasuo)
Ollerus1 votesSure, he can keep the double critical, but I feel like 10% reduction isn't enough seeing as he is able to get one item and one piece of a second and have 100% critical. Roughly 3k gold to have 100% critical chance is pretty ridiculous on a champion that scales so hard. I feel like if they increased the reduction or made it scaling so say 30% to 10% 1-18 it would make him less oppressive through the mid game when he gets even a slight advantage, because if he does currently, he literally takes over the whole game. And to your other point, I find it less oppressive to be melee agains't Yasuo than to be ranged seeing as he can E+Q knockup which is 100% uncounterable and guarantees at least 2 more auto attacks and a windwall to stop any counter play before E'ing to safety to reset fully in roughly 7-10s.. But again, it really comes back to his entire kit being designed to be ridiculous. You can't give the hardest scaling to no cost, no cooldown, mobility assassins. He's been nerfed 10 times and he's still 90+% ban rate since the 5 ban system. Like I said before, he's definitely counterable, just not in any reasonable way in solo queue where teams don't have the communication to really stop him once he gets even a slight advantage or a few items.
Jar Jar binks l1 votesjust remove his shield and he wont be banned anymore.
