The "Nerf Yasuo Into The Ground" Bandwagon

So as we all know, the currently popular Tank Yasuo build has been sturring up alot of complaints do to the fact that the build gives him dmg while being tanky. As a Yasuo main myself, I do believe that this build is alittle out of line as Meddler put it. I do not think all of the discussions on the boards that have popped up about nerfing this or that on Yasuo is right though. Just because a build is creating unhealthy gameplay doesn't mean they have to nerf this and that on the champ to satisfy all of the lower elo players that don't know how to deal with . This bandwagon that is calling to nerf him to the ground is rude and childish. Also know that Riot can't stop people from building Yasuo this way even after the patch. Tank Ekko is still being used in the LCS today even after they changed 's numbers.

They actually shouldn't nerf him at all. No part of his kit scales on defensive stats so I don't know what they can "nerf" that will make him scale worse with defensive items. So the only thing they can do is nerf his damage, which will only make it harder for him to survive without defensive items.

I think the correct way to fix this would be to actually make one or both of his ONLY defensive abilities, his flow shield and/or wind wall. My vote is for his flow shield. By making his flow shield stack faster, stronger, or last longer based on an offensive stat.

I actually explain my thoughts better in this post

Yasuo is incredibly OP.

Double crit... endless lane mobility with no resources.... not required to land his only skillshot to R people.... windwall blocking 90% of everything in the game with a fire and forget mechanic.

And do you realize how many people play Yasuo? I woudlnt be surprised if every other person called Yasuo their main. Everyone has to have an edge and wants to have the machine gun vs people with knives.
