Petition to put an hp bar on yasuo's wind wall

Xavanic··117 votes·5,550 views

I feel his wind wall is too good at choking out ranged champs at times making them utterly useless in fights, I believe wind wall should be in fact used to block important things like veigar ult. jihn ult, jinx w, but it should have hp aswell to prevent your adc from being useless for 5 seconds or having to be in a poor position of aa, imo it should start with 2 hp, scale to 3 at rank 3, and 4 at rank 5

There is an HP bar on Windwall.

It's Yasuo's.

And you're not getting to it.

Well I mean yoricks circle has an hp bar, why not put one on wind wall?

Deep Terror Nami15 votes

It was just a joke. He's going to be standing on it so technically there's an HP bar there.

Yorick keeps you in a tiny circle. Yasuo blocks projectiles. You're comparing apples and oranges my friend..

While I agree that yasuo's wind wall lasts too long, I think an HP bar would be a bad idea, as it would probably just bait people into attacking the wall while yasuo crits them down. I think they should just lower the length, so its a good reactionary tool good yasuos can use, but doesnt block off an entire team's damage for 5 seconds.

I agree.

Agreed. Thing is, He doesn't need a nerf when their are other champions doing better than him in the rift.

Riot has said that they don't want that kind of gameplay with Yasuo's wall. They want it to be a tool to force repositioning, and making it breakable presents players with gameplay options that Riot doesn't want. It would be like if you could break Olaf's CC immunity of his ult if you hit him with enough CC; it provides unclear gameplay for Olaf's opponent and unclear value for Olaf himself. Not to mention that it would make his wall practically useless against things like MF ult which it is explicitly designed to counter.

Xavanic the person whom posted this is only whining for nerfs, I want clarification onto why should Yasuo get nerfed who's win rate is 49%-50% but not Ziggs with 52-54.5% win rate or Vi in the jungle with a solid 53% win rate? You don't just nerf Yasuo without a reason, That's not balancing, That's gutting. Gutting =/= solution. There are so much more champions whom are doing way better than Yasuo, But this person is crying out loud for nerfs without giving a fair reason, You know what's that? Biased freaking hate.

there is a precedent for these types of nerfs. when a champion isnt doing above average but is just very annoying to play against, riot nerfs it until they remake it. like old eve. she wasnt obscenely overpowered with her stun, but riot took it away because people found it very annoying to play against.

Then why haven't Riot Games removed Evelynn permanent stealth? Why haven't they reworked Tryndamere? Why has Riven & Yasuo & Lee & Zed & Teemo & Rengar & Blitzcrank Thresh & Ekko not been deleted yet? Hecarim Vi are allowed to be Tanky,Mobile,And do a safer,better job at assassinating the enemy with a lot of advantages than assassins. Why is Syndra allowed to deleted a player's character from the match with a press of a button?

I can go on for every singe ability & champion, Thing is, You adapt, You learn, You get good, Don't whine without looking at both sides, You don't just look at the strengths of the champions and abilities at their strongest scenarios but not look at their weakness? Everything has two sides, Just like Yin & Yang, That is what called BALANCE, You don't just sh!t without biting on something tasty or not (Annoying or not) & chew it & then swallow it. This person is a biased Yasuo hater, Get real.

none of those are even a quarter as stupid to play against as eve was. and none of those are even a quarter as frustrating to play against as yasuo is.

Kid, Say yasuo gets deleted, Alright, and then some players are going to play those champions and beat you, You'll be frustrated again, Your rage is blind & mindless just like you.

no one wants yasuo deleted. plus riot doesnt delete champions. under any circumstance. also you are assuming i even dislike yasuo. i was just explaining the situation for you.

there is precedent for champions with sub 50% win rate getting nerfed if the majority of the community finds it frustrating to play against. im sorry you dont like the truth, but if riot was to nerf yasuo, it wouldnt be something that they havent done before to other champions. i dont care who is OP and who isnt in this game because as you can see by my game history i dont play league anymore anyway.

NightmareAmazoX4 votes

I am sorry Kid, But Riot showed us a statistic of 2016 in Review, Yasuo is loved & played by the majority of the players of league, Just like Lee in the jungle & lux in Mid & Zyra in the support role, These champions were the most played in 2016 & loved by the majority, The ones whom are hating are the minor figure in this grand place. It's a shame really, I called you mindless & blind, Yet you show no sign of backfire, League could always have more players like you, But it's not my choice to make, it's nice having you around the boards though. :)

i dont want to make the same crucial mistake of going the ad hominem route in a debate.

im just pointing out that when people find someone frustrating to play against, the precedent is to nerf the champion even if the win rate is below average. i dont particularly feel either way about yasuo because i never played against a yasuo, since i quit league before he was in existence. again, you are just taking my stating of previous facts as my personal opinion. Anyway, if people keep complaining about his windwall it doesnt matter who loves him, he will be nerfed. just like eve was way back in s2. she wasnt an issue win rate wise, and wasnt even an issue in high mmr, but she just wrecked low mmr and new players.

And again, i really could care less, i havent played a single game against yasuo in my life. but you are really bad at getting your point across.

Xavanic1 votes

Yet yasuo has a 54% win rate top lane....simply because he bullies out champions that are melee only, somethings wrong their, I'm just asking to tune down his insane late game, this in no way hurts the core of the champion but also makes it so he doesn't effectively turn a 5v5 team fight into a 3v5 or less simply due to his absurdly powerful windfall prevents your ranged champions from fighting without putting themselves into yasuos wrath

Leetri7 votes

Barely breaking 50% according to Champion.gg, barely under 50% according to Op.gg. In both cases he's actually played more in mid now, and there he has the same ~50% win rate. Leagueofgraphs show around the same numbers as both of them as well, so that's 3 different sites showing more or less the same numbers. Where did you find 54%?

Why do you want to nerf something that isn't broken and not being abused? Learn to play around it, I'd rather have Yasuo get a new ability instead of this nerf going through and make him have three primary abilities while everyone gets four. Or a win-win situation would be a more fair nerf, Like reducing his wind wall duration at early ranks & ONLY way he'd get his current wind wall duration back if puts some ranks into the ability.

How do you play around a Yasuo standing inside his Wind wall? lmao.

You walk away or don't bother.

So your highest dmg teammate should just go farm while your teams fights a 4v5 and loses because your adc and possibly mid laner can't fight?

Xavanic2 votes

It is broken though....he can effectively negate ranged ultimate abilites with a 15 second cd wind wall, that's a little overbearing if you ask me, even braum has a downside to using his shield yasuo literally has none

Don't you give me this sh!t now. Go into more depth,Give me a logical explanation, I want CLARFICATION! Not some made up whatever the hell you say are facts words. Make me believe you are right, Proof it instead of spitting sh!t.

The ability was designed and made to do so by Riot Games, It's doing exactly what it's supposed to, if you think it's freaking overbearing then give me a logical explanation, Make me believe that it is, Show me your point of view unless you got nothing except bullsh!t fantasy whatever the hell you want to make up facts words on the internet.

While I'm not one of the people on the "YASUO'S OP NERFNERFNERFNERFNERFNERF" train, I do think his Windwall should have a limit to the number of nullified attacks. So instead of being able to target the wall, it just loses 1 HP with every hit it nullifies. In-lane this change wouldn't really do to much because how how slow it takes a ranged champion to break through it. By the time they'd throw 3 attacks (going off of the original post's Hp numbers for lane phase) the wall would pretty much be gone (except for multi-hitting spells like Syndra's and MF's ults). Later in the game however, during teamfights is where this nerf would come into play, making it so you can't just perfectly block everything with just a single button click. It could still be used the same as now with reaction W's, but can't just block off all ranged attacks if your team focus fires through it.

Xavanic3 votes

This is what I'm getting at, a poorly placed wind wall can still win you the game as it currently stands, you want to use wind wall as a defensive tool for when champs use powerful ults like mf or jhin, but it shouldn't just be used to block an adcs aa's to screw them over, as I feel this is why he gets so much hate as a ranged champ will either have to re-position somewhere dangerous or walk through the wall, both of which will result in them dying 9 times out of 10

The exaggeration level is over 9000.

Or you could just not blow everything into it and then poof, yasuo has nothing to deal with damage for like 15 seconds

Xavanic1 votes

or he just throws it up when you just used your most valuable ability because if you dont engage the caitlyn and ziggs will poke down your team and take your towers

E GIRL SNIPER1 votes

Then it's your fault for not CC'ing him before he could. That's like saying kayle ult should have an hp bar because she can use it right when your assasain jumps in and your team gets poked down because their damage was negated.

Xavanic1 votes

and what if that ability was your cc? then what?, im just getting at the fact his wind wall is wayyyyyy too strong for a basic ability, imo last breath and wind wall should be shifted so his wind wall is his ult

E GIRL SNIPER1 votes

Then force it out with autoattacks from an adc or a basic ability, not hard. There is a reason yasuo has a ~49 winrate and its not because hes op.

Xavanic1 votes

nah, he has a 49 win rate partially because he has a 16% pick rate for both top and mid, same reason alot of other champs have low win rates, if they remove some of the power from his overloaded w, it can be placed elsewhere in his kit, meaning he could become more consistent and easier to play against, as it currently is, you need a malzahar, zyra or amumu to counter him out after 30 min or he will go down while taking at least 2 people with him

E GIRL SNIPER1 votes

No not really, and a lot of meta midlaners either trash him in lane or outperform him in teamfights. And no he has a low winrate because hes hard to win on outside of low elo, kayle has like a 53 winrate and a super low play rate.

Xavanic1 votes

ok w.e., then just rework or delete the champ, how about that?

E GIRL SNIPER1 votes

No because hes a balanced champ, people are just salty they get outplayed so cry he's op

Xavanic1 votes

Im not saying hes op, im saying he has too much power in one ability that should be shifted elsewhere in his kit, if i get outplayed w.e., but this champ is overloaded....he already bullies pretty much anyone out of lane unless your syndra or kayle (who are 2 insanely op champs) 1 wind wall blocking your ability can generally result in him going all in and killing you, im not asking to take away from his lane power, im asking to tone back his retarded late game where he two shots all your squishies while ccing them with a knock up and preventing them from hitting him with a wind wall...theres other ways he could get nerfed, such as making his wind wall make sense and block projectiles from BOTH teams, but then he would have an even lower win rate

E GIRL SNIPER1 votes

There are other champs that are way harder to kill and do comparable damage. Also a lot of champs obliterate yasuo in lane unless the yas has like 200 more games

Xavanic1 votes

alot of them are easy to kite though, the only champ i would say is worse then yas is kha, and kha zix is fucking retarded atm

E GIRL SNIPER1 votes

Actually almost all of them are harder to kite because they have much larger gap closers.
