The Making of Yasuo

Riot: ok we need a melee hypercarry that shits on everyone late game, but he has to suck early

CertainlyT: ok cool but no, he needs to bully melee laners early

Riot: whatever but make him weak to range

CertainlyT: no imma give him minion dashes he can trade with against range

Riot: nice but make him weak to poke

CertainlyT: haha shield that comes back while walking

Riot: but make him a bad engager

CertainlyT: no he stacks knockups on minions that can proc his R for aoe damage and further cc

Riot: cool but he's a bad engager when there are no minions around

CertainlyT: hell no his R procs with any displacement, even with farts

Riot: mmmh

CertainlyT: also his cooldowns and animations shorten with attack speed and not with cd, he has double crits chance but only loses 1/5 of critical damage, one of his basics can negate any projectile for many seconds with odd hitbox, his R puts him outside of turret range and he screams HASAKI every second.

Riot: genius, release him now.

Not saying I enjoy fighting Yasuo in his current state, but please enlighten us and create a melee hypercarry without mobility, projectile mitigation, or resistances.

Edit: Downvoted because everyone wants nerfs but nobody wants to provide alternatives, nice :^)

True Yasuo can excel in 1v1s, or when he has a lead, or versus players who don't understand how he works. On the other hand he is weak to decent team coordination and can only dash to hostile targets. Think of other non-tanky melee champions like Master Yi, he is restricted mostly to the jungle. Talon and Wukong, who both have reliable ways to escape a gank. He is actually an easy champion to feed on. Plus his win rate says he is not broken, the win rate for people who have played him more than 50 games is 54 percent. 54 percent is the average.

Since when does yasuo bully melee champs early? Pretty much every melee lane bully stomps him super hard
