I have some ideas that could improve yassuo´s kit

N1ghtOG·Jun 16, 2016·1 votes·1,400 views

These are just some ideas to make yassuo less frustrating to play against. Please give me your opinion. Remove his flow shield from his passive and move it to a new passive in his W, for every projectile yassuo blocks with his WindWall he gets a shield. The shield will be bigger if the projectile is and ult and if it absobs more than 1 projectile. Now that you dont have the shield meter give him mana. Infinite dashes are frustrating to play agaist so give his ablities a low mana cost for example cost 30 for Q and 10 or 15 for every dash (but every third dash yassuo does wont cost mana) , and 60 for windwall. This will make his dashes not infinite but close to it. I think this could remove the ive got a shield every 7 seconds if I just walk around aspect from yassuo. Please tell me what you think.

My opinion is that you haven't considered playing Yasuo, or having Yasuo on your team.

I have done both of those things , even tho he is a blast to play and a realy strong champion I think his protection ablity should be turned down a bit since he is played like an assasin and assasin should only be able to kill 1 or 2 enemy champions before getting blown up ,not survive for the whole duration with out popping a GA at least. The yassuos on bronze arent all that good but the good ones make the enemy team go on tilt because they cant kill him , even if they cc and focus him cause he will block/ shield most of the attacks. But please tell me more of what you think is wrong with my suggestion.

So basically make yasou bad because you can can't play against it?

It was a suggestion. No need to be a dick.

Regardless, it's not too bad of an idea. The shield could be balanced to be better than his current shield if he blocks a certain amount of projectiles, and worse if he blocks only one.

The dashes aren't too bad of an idea, maybe lower the repeat target dash cooldown in response.

Yasuo is pretty balanced at the moment, no need to change him or nerf him.

I hate laning vs Yasui just as much as the next guy but please you basically just nerfed his kit to the ground. How is that "improving" ???

I dont see any nerfs ( no damage down , no cooldown increases), no ability removed just tweeked a bit and with the addition of mana or any recourse ( probably energy would make more sense).

I think you don't understand anything about Yasuo or the game itself.

Yasuo's KDA: 7/7/7. http://champion.gg/champion/Yasuo

As a mid-laner, Yasuo has the most deaths of any mid-laner. http://champion.gg/statistics/#?roleSort=Middle&sortBy=general.deaths&order=descend

As a top-laner, Yasuo is #3; only Xin and Karthus die more often. http://champion.gg/statistics/#?roleSort=Top&sortBy=general.deaths&order=descend

let's nerf an already not that great champion! this would totally ruin him, surely you have not played him before.

Riot recently came up with a good statement in the 6.12 patch notes: It's Zed's (and by extension, other Assassins (Fizz, Akali, Kat, etc) and Skirmishers (Yasuo, Fiora, etc)), job to kill you, so part of the frustration that he (and other Slayers) cause is intended, it's no fun being dead after all. They're supposed to be frustrating to face against.

Moving on to my main thoughts, Yasuo's flow shield helps him lane as a squishy, and it helps him not die if he pulls off a perfect 5-man ult only to die to the remaining tanks. Why should he not be able to fight back against tanks for pulling off a good play with his team? Why should he bend over and take whatever the tanks do to him simply for throwing himself at the enemy team without any escapes in his kit?

Also, Yasuo doesn't have infinite dashes. Quite numbered, and then there's the timers. During the laning phase, he has anywhere between 6-8-ish available dashes (including his lane opponent) in the span of a few seconds. A few seconds can spell his death if you know what you're doing. Now if he uses a minion highway to catch up to you when you're running away from him, you probably deserve that, because you don't want to do that at all when running from Yasuo, what you want to do is run into your jungle, where there's fewer dashes available for him.

PS. Yasuo isn't an assassin, and shouldn't be played like one. He's a skirmisher, he's meant to be in the thick of a battle once he goes in, exactly because he has no escapes.
