God.. It's partial revert not a nerf. When IE was changed to deal true damage and have no crit chance, they give yasuo a compensation buff for that, now IE is reverted, Yasuo get revert too but partial they gave him 10% more crit damage than before changes.

Ban Rate doesn't equal being broken. People tend to ban stuff they hate to play against, like I ban GP every game I don't play him and used to ban Tryndamere when I was Bronze in S6, not because he was broken, but because he is so frustrating to play against. Like Yasuo W or the overall kit. He could be useless trash and still a pain in the ass.

I mean when I play Yasuo I build him like an actual bruiser. ( Tiamat, Gage. )

You missed my entire point. I myself find these Champs annoying/me not being able to play against. A lot of people feel the same about Yasuo, regardless of how strong he is.

Rather or not ban rate = broken or not(which yasuo actually was with the crit changes). Ban rate is a strong indication of if the champion is healthy for the game in their current state.

Both Zoe and Akali had the problem where they were balance but unhealthy to play against so they were both nerfed to the ground and Zoe was steadily brought back up while Akali is currently going through that process. Yasuo has not gone through this process at all and has just remained problematic.

Good, now do the same to all the other CertainlyT champions.

It's because Yasuo takes skill to play. SORRY!

So does akali

The new post-nerf requires godlike skill to win and carry

Akali currently is harder to play for less reward, and is still as hard as to learn and master like Yasuo.

That's because she had true stealth and they didn't wanna get rid of it so they had to gut the rest of her kit. Akali might require skill now that she's been properly deleted from the game, but Yasuo has always been tougher to play.

VolatileAkaliFeb 23, 20191 votes

With or without true stealth, the massive majority of the player base couldn't play her, because she was too weird or too hard for them to play. Akali had always needed skill and even before the huge nerfs she couldn't carry. She was NEVER broken in soloQ, she was nerfed because of pro play only. They nerfed this hard for a secondary reason too, simply because she was too frustrating to play against.

To me it took more time to learn Akali and trying to master her than Yasuo, so to me Yasuo is straight forward thus sometimes making some people learn him way faster than Akali.

Yasuo takes no skill to play IMO. Braindead champ.

Yasuo's design =trash Akali's design =trash9000 For a champion that has invisibility (not camouflage but INVISIBILITY!). Her kit was by far the most anoying champion league ever made. She had a spell (shroud )that gave her •energy •movement speed •invisibility •4 or 5 second window till shroud active again •imune to towers •and even a fucking synergy with E to dash back to your shroud. Tell me that this ability isnt overload.All this combined with spamming Q +healing and 2 dashes (ultimate), makes akali an unhealthy crap designed champion. So stop complaining about akali , she was not op but

I think it's a good idea that opponents could target her in between her invis, when she attacks or leaves shroud. That makes sense. Her shroud can be nerfed.

But her life-steal and damage, makes her interesting and a viable pick very often. I hope she's restored enough and maybe her shroud nerfed.
