A simple Yasuo E change idea.

Terozu·Aug 25, 2018·4 votes·1,220 views

It's no secret Yas is frustrating to play against cough-64% banrate-cough. One contributor to this is his E and how it's mobility makes it extremely difficult to fight, and how it lets him break a fundamental rule of the game, making it dangerous to go near your own minions. So I have an idea.

Allow him to dash freely, the same way you changed Akali's ult to be a free dash.

However, increase the cool down. Maybe to something like 10 seconds. The biggest problem is this would remove his identity as the best dash spammer. So do this;

The first enemy champion Yasuo dashes through is marked, and his E cooldown is reset. Dashing through a marked champion, or not hitting any champion puts his on cooldown instead.

This would allow Yasuo to retain his dash spam. But it would make the spamming require some level of skill, rewarding him for using it properly and punishing him if he makes a mistake.

Being immobile without a nearby dash target is an intended weakness that Yasuo is supposed to have

Other champions make it dangerous to be near your own minion. MissFortune Amumu Bard Fiddlesticks etc.

And this change would legit gut Yasuo awful change would need to be like 3 seconds not 10 and that would still be terrible.

Windwall is what should be changed not his E.

The only one of these that legit makes it really dangerous to be near ur own minions is Fiddlesticks.

This would not gut yasuo it would make him less oppressive in the mobilitu department.

And why the fuck would it need to be 3 seconds if it resets when you hit an enemy champion?

how does MF Q not make it dangerous to stay near your minions? Or Bard Q?

Pretty much any champion with a bouncing ability makes it dangerous to be near your minions. In this case though the bouncing projectile is Yasuo himself.

MF Q makes it dangerous to stay directly behind a low health enemy minion. Which is way more situational than Yas' dash.

Bard Q makes it so as long as you have two minions, you are safe, which is way better than every minion being a free dash for Yasuo.

In addition, your minions allow him to dodge skill shots incessantly at any given time, it has a .1 second cooldown while MF and Bard have actual cooldowns.

And i said theyre not as dangerous as Fidd not that they arent dangerous.

Oh yeah, I can't wait for Yasuo that can dash over walls.

He already can...

He can blink with his ult, and if he's in front of a very small wall with a minion pressed up against it I guess that could work, but giving him a dash he can use without a target would just make things worse. Oh, I'm being chased through jungle? Just dash over the wall. Oh, their ADC is low and near a wall? Dash for an easy kill. Oh, they're about to get baron but they're all low? Dash over the pit wall and get a penta.

Ummm no, his E range lets him dash to targets over walls, so that adc is dead either way. And its not just super thin walls either...

Rathar DashingAug 25, 20181 votes

Yeah, in the 1% of the time when there's a target pushed up against a wall, he can dash. Making him not even need a target to dash to would be worse for so many reasons.

i dont think you get the point

dash needs a target right now, so he can't really dash through walls without a target but make it so its a dash like akali's ult, he can dash over walls whenever he wants.. which is fucked up
