Nerf TOP LANE Yasuo please, Not Mid lane

Yasuos Win rate mid: 49% Yasuo Win rate Top: 53-54%

I agree Yasuo's pretty ridiculous right now but its only in the top lane, because when playing top lane it removes A LOT of Yasuo's weakness's.

He is less prone too being ganked in the top lane, and his match ups are mostly melee. Which kind of removes the part about Yasuo being a "Shit laner", which he is; He doesn't need to rely on his Windwall for safety (since they melee laners don't have ranged abilities). And its much easier to reach melee laners with your q hits, since they are much closer and easier too hit.

Please while Yasuo does need a bit of a tune down overall(I very much agree with that), but if your going to hit him, hit him where it affects his top lane potential and not so much his Mid lane, as that seems to be working out fine.

Your source is champion.gg, and that site is bad. Yasuo's winrate is 50% in general, don't worry.

Something tells me you might have a bias... But I can't put my finger on what exactly

Read the most recent comment on this post and tell me I'm biased.

And you clearly hate Yasuo the most so If anyone has a bias it's you. I can just read your comment history to prove myself, + you down voted me so obviously you are biased.

How does one nerf 1 lane without nerfing the other?

Guy Fox TeemoMay 6, 20172 votes

Ult: Less bonus armor shred % - but a bit more damage(So he doesn't shred tanks as well, but still punishes squishy mages when he does well) E: Now does AD, less damage, still scales off AP - still hurts squishy mages, but not so much melee top laners as they usually have some form of armor.

I by no means advocate putting these exact changes in; Just giving examples that might work, Riot could come up with way better ideas.

This would make him more oppressive when snowballing.

If Yasuo top does need to be nerfed, a better way to do it would be to make the % bonus armour penetration he gets from his ultimate scale with level. Make it less potent early on but still allow him to shred tanks late game like he is meant to.

Actually i think it's very hard to counterpick yasuo in the midlane if you are forced to play ap (cause nobody else on your team would). And counterpicking yasuo toplane seems easy. Edit: But I don't think he needs nerf anyway

I was told Yasuo get dumpstered by bruisers.

How is it possible he has a higher win ratio in the lane where bruisers go.

:thinking:

Screw that champion and his kit.

Champion.gg is not accurate. Yasuo has a 51% winrate top and 49% winrate mid. I'm all up for a nerf top and a buff mid lane, but we don't have an exact reason why he is doing better top. Maybe Phantom Dancer can get a 2% nerf to its passive, and up the base damage of his ultimate.
