So he is in about 80% of my games. not even kidding, he must be balanced right? I'd just like to have a SINGLE fkn game that isnt vs yasuo.

What do you mean? Isn't having one champion dominate almost every game ideal?

:^)

How about you spell Riot correctly? Is it cool now to misspell words and sound like a complete dumbass?

U is an abbreviation of you that only uses one letter. Makes sense to use. Spelling Riot Rito just outs you as a moron with opinions that no one should respect.

To be honest the biggest thing I don't like about Yasuo is his windwall and just how LONG it lasts. I feel like there was a similar problem with Sivir's spellshield where Riot decided to severely reduce its duration because she could just keep it up for a fairly long time just to prevent people from wanting to cast spells on her for the duration. In that sense it could be used less for the actual ability and more to psychologically deter the enemy's actions.

It feels the same with windwall. If he's gonna use it to block moves, then let it last for only a moment. He shouldn't be able to preemptively use it and let it sit there blocking moves for the next minute (not literally, but allow me a little hyperbole here). He should have to predict the moment the move is coming out, and block stuff for maybe one second.

Since there's already a precedent for this with Sivir, I don't feel like this is an unreasonable change. Especially since his can block MULTIPLE spells AND auto attacks, while Sivir's can only block one move, and it has to be a spell.

Unfortunately Yasuo is going to have a high pickrate until he becomes bottom-of-the-barrel garbage tier simply because he's just that fun to play. And that's not a bad thing! Just that he needs a light rework so he isn't agonizing to play against (hey it did wonders for CertainlyT's other nightmare laner Darius ). Maybe remove his double crit passive and give him 5% crit on each level of his windwall, or outright remove free crit from his kit and give him back his base stats so he can actually be useful if he isn't snowballed to hell.

Riot already did something, maybe you should pay attention. They fixed the thing that made him overbearing, which was the crit heal functionality on minions. Once players get bored of playing Yasuo (he's fun, players won't just stop), everything should be back to normal. Making more threads won't speed this up.

Pantheon is an easy counter against him.

Why not make his crit % multplier 150% instead of 200%? Meaning he gets 50% bonus crit from how much crit he gets. E.g. item 3031 item 3087 item 3078 = 70% crit. If the old passive is there, Yas could potentially have 140% crit. With IE and Shiv, 100%.

With the new change, he will only get 25% bonus crit and 75% total crit from IE and Shiv. Now he is forced to build Trin or some other item to make up for the loss of crit. This doesn't destroy his damage at all except the fact that he wont be critting as much and thats pretty much it.

Have you ever seen another champ people build their team around more than Yasuo?

Because I don't think I have. And I've played over 6000 games.

He dictates the entire game from champ select once someone chooses him.

If my teammate chooses him he insists everyone else on the team carry a knock-up.

Seriously...

It's not even warlords bloodlust that makes him op.. it's the fact that his ult gives him 50% flat armor penetration (which is huge now) when he uses it on such a low cd. Hell, you can use thunderlords on yas and he'll still wreck your face because of that armor penetration.

Tryn is just as bad. with the changes to the crit items, it's not uncommon to see a tryn with 85-100% crit (without yasuo's determent to crit damage) critting for upwards of 1.1k damage. They both need to be balanced around the new crit items..

After laning, Tryndamere beats Yas no problem with his Undying Rage.

While you have a valid point about Yasuo being overplayed and rather OP, the fact you say he's in 80% of your games makes your statement that you want "a SINGLE fkn [sic] game that isnt [sic] vs yasuo," is invalid.

If he's in 80% of your games, that means you get that "SINGLE fkn [sic]" game that isn't against him in one out of every five games.
