Braum vs. Yasuo
On the topic of their blocking abilities, riddle me this:
Why does the champion with high mobility and damage have the better blocking ability than the tanky support who doesn't quite match the CC of a vanguard? I had this question back when Braum was first released, too.
But now it's not, "why is Braum's weaker?" but "Why is Yasuo's stronger?" There is no reason Yasuo's should entirely negate attacks from all directions, allowing him and allies to stand inside it or dash back and forth through it. Braum's is far more balanced in terms of the ability to play around it thanks to its one-directional blocking and the fact he still takes 70-60% of the damage from abilities that hit it, even with its shorter cooldown. This allows for them to better adjust the strength of his other abilities. They can't do that very well for Yasuo because there's the ever-present fact he has one of the top 5 strongest utility/defensive abilities in the entire game.
His should only block in one direction, even if they keep in the fact the ability begins before the animation starts. Then they'd have more wiggle room to adjust his other abilities.
