This would remove bruiser Yasuo and even though it would likely be a significant nerf to people properly playing Yasuo we could compensate those players with buffs if it hits them too hard. While i'll never be ok with Yasuo getting 100% crits with 2 items it is by far the healthiest way of playing him and should be the only way he is supported. This Tank Yasuo bs needs to go
ProfDrDeath11 votesYou mean, like making his ultimate's ArPen only apply to critical strikes? Sounds good to me, tbh...
Robrono4 votesI am a Yasuo fan boi, which is why I agree that bruiser Yasuo needs to be removed. When I play Yasuo, I don't want to have to build tanky to achieve his maximum potential and removes skill from his kit because you don't need to be as careful with bruiser Yasuo compared to full AD Yasuo. Only problem with tying more of his damage into crits would damage his early game significantly due to Yasuo's lack of crits pre-Phantom Dancer. One solution may be to change Yasuo's passive shield to have less base shield, but scale with crit or ad. Another possible fix would be reducing Yasuo's Q cool down with crit instead of attack speed, so Triforce Phantom Dancer wouldn't reduce his Q cd so much.
MagikarpIsBoss2 votesHonestly, (from what I hear a lot) Yasuo has a super strong early game. Nerfing his early game wont be that bad, since in less than 10 minutes he has 60% crit.

non crits do 0% damage
(yes this is a joke)

Kinetika3 votesNot a bad idea.
I agree that he's absolutely broken with the 2 item/100% crit thing.
Just a matter of time before the Yas fanboys down vote your thread to hell for daring to complain about their boy...
CeexSett1 votesHow ironic you were the one downvoted :D
agbudar2 voteshow about instead of getting reduced damage from crits he gets reduced damage from normal hits but higher damage from crits
Maximum Morde2 votesWhy not just tie Yasuo's power to a boat anchor, drop it in the ocean, hope it hits fizz on the way down, and make him useless period?
C13Magnum2 votesIf we remember back to bloodlust yasuo we know he has a history of abusing keystone masteries. I think fervor needs the direct nerfs.
112 free ad at level 18 that he stacks very quickly is just too much. Make it scale with bonus ad, something like .1 per stack. Lowers bruiser yasuo to about +56 ad (along with significantly crippling him early when he barely stacks ad) and ad yasuo gets increased to closer to +150, a more appropriate risk/reward trade off.
The other thing that has bruiser yasuo being a nuisance is pd. Flat 12% damage reduction on the adc/ap is huge. As it stands now, pd isn't in favor among adc's, most prefer the added safety of range from the rapid-fire cannon over pd. What if, instead, it was something more situationally powerful like 30% dr while cc'ed or even a malzahar-esque passive? Now ad yasuo is a bit safer to engage but bruiser yasuo gets close to no reduction during a prolonged fight, which is what he excels in.
Just some ideas that involve no actual change to yasuo himself.
Stanford Pines1 votesStill...my "ultimate" Yasuo Build looks like this
100% crit while being kinda tanky
bunies1 votesthis is stupid on such an epic level
Robrono1 votesWell, funny thing is that this post predicted what actually happened. Thats gotta feel good!
