Let's talk Yasuo

Wow! A Yasuo buff! A champ that's not looking all too great is greating a buff, great. He needs it. He has a 47% win rate and you're all losing you're god damn mind over a champ getting a buff? He's not in a great place, and could be a better. If you can't deal with him, you can't deal with him. Ban him. Realistically he's not hard to play around, dodge his damn tornadoes and you're fine.

If you want to complain about SOMETHING in 8.16, at least complain about something useful. I've looked at peoples ranks complaining about Yasuo and you're all already low elo anti-Yasuo.

I don't like the champ either. I hate him, but at least I can accept the fact he's a lot weaker right now, and get over it. Come on people. Worry about something worth complaining over next time.

Yeah, we just needed another Master Yi with his Q ignoring 50% armor and now taking all your health instead of half of it.

For once wisdom is spoken. And its not like these people still ban him in the first place. They'd probably ban him even if he becomes the worst champ in the game.

Buff got pulled. He doesn't need a buff. As far as I'm concerned he has definitely reached Old Urgot status. " Left purposefully underpowered since he ruins the Enjoyment for the majority of the playerbase until his Rework".

They are reverting the change anyway. Also Yasuo is one of the hardest champs in the game, ~48% win rate is balanced with his almost 20% pick rate, maybe it should even be lower

the proble is the ult buff, 150% of his current AD changed to250% his current AD, which is INSANE I'd be fine with this if he lost the doubled crit bonus passive, but so long as he has that I won't be fine with this ult change

"47% win rate" https://i.imgur.com/2ko3kob.png

Also, if 47% is grounds to say there is no room to discuss this because that's "not looking all too great" and that he should get buffs because he could be made to be better... then where are the buffs for the champions with that win rate or lower ?

Hmmm, wonder why people are questioning Riot's decision making...

Yasuo's win rate belongs with Azir, Ryze, and Elise - other high skill cap playmakers.

Even a 51% average win rate is unhealthy for him, because it shows the supposed "hard to master" champion doesn't need to be played well to make a big impact.

Okay Yasuo might not be in the best place. But Yasuo's issue is not his damage, i play him regularly. I agree his ult isnt really that strong damage wise but its because his Q scales hard as fuck.

Yasuo's issue in my experience is that he needs time to outscale some meta melee champions and due to how volatile games are he usually doesn't have time for it.

There's a difference between increasing his base passive shield by 10 or adding 2 armor, and giving him 100% extra bonus AD ratio to his ult.

Imagine if Orianna got a 60% AP ratio buff to her ult. That's another AoE damaging ultimate that provides hard cc.

Also, a high skill cap champion that fluctuates between a 46-49% win rate with an insanely high play rate is not concerning at all. I'd say he's on the slightly strong side as it stands. Never mind the fact he's already banned in over 60% of games.

Lastly, Yasuo doesn't really need to land tornados to be massively useful to the team. He just needs to know when his ult won't pointlessly kill himself, maybe windwall an important projectile or two.
