Incoming thread 100 about Yasuo

So, lately, I've been seeing a shit ton of posts about Yasuo. Before you flame me, i understand he is annoying to lane against. As a Yasuo main (pls don't hurt me) if I'm not playing him (in ranked) I'm banning either him or Leona. A lot of people are asking for a kit change or nerf. Let me say, he is not op, The champion is strong yes, but i think thats mainly because of conquerer and his ultimate safety, other than that i don't see anything wrong with him besides how annoying he is. I don't have many ideas on nerfing him besides lowering his ULT scaling, E scaling or removing Ultimate safety. People want his windwall or shield removed. Without them the champ will turn into a living pile of trash. The only other way i can think of is defining what stage of the game he is good at. Yasuo is trash if he doesn't get ahead early, but if he does his snowball potential is crazy. Bare in mind so is every other assassin

To name a few.

(I kind of rant off a bit here so if your not interested skip the next 2 paragraphs)

Also, A lot of people are complaining that Yasuo isn't hard. I agree. Anybody can pick the champion up and get a couple of kills. Again though, the same thing is said about Zed (or fizz or talon), i used to think he isn't hard. I was right. I played the champ in blind and always ended up with 8 kills+, but, that doesn't mean there isn't a high skill ceiling. When i tried Zed in ranked against people who counter played me, i got destroyed because the enemy would play around my shadow, they would immediately CC me when i ULT'ed behind them. To reinforce my point, Assassins in general are easy to get kills with but hard to do more than that, any Zed can kill the ADC and survive with 20% hp, a good Zed can do much more such as surviving, damaging multiple champions, using both his shadow and ultimate shadow in conginition with razor shuriken etc.

Back to Yasuo, the same applies, a new Yasuo will dash around like an idiot, deal some damage, click r with the malphite and die, a good Yasuo will use his windwall to protect himself AND his allies, save the windwall for a key ultimate and not just the first projectile that comes his way, He will not click R on the first knockup that comes by, he will wait for the perfect moment etc etc.

AGAIN I KNOW HE IS ANNOYING TO LANE AGAINST, I SWEAR I DO. Being a main I've never really had a problem with him, its pretty easy to see what to do against him but its irrational to ask the common player to go get 300k+ points to survive against Yasuo. New players are destroyed by Yasuo because in the laning phase they burn his skills on his shield rather than popping it with an AA. My suggestions is, currently, his shield starts at 100 hit points early game and takes a long wind up time and increases in speed late game as well as strength. I would say lower the shield amount to 40-50 but increase charge speed and then the charge speed decreases but ends in the same current shield amount (Around 500 i believe at 18). This way if a new player uses, say kassadin Q on the Yasuo with a fully stacked shield, Some damage will still go through ATLEAST, I personally don't think this is the best idea as it doesn't punish the Kassadin mindlessly clicking Q but still its my opinion. The other nerf ideas i have mentioned already being, nerf conquerer in general as it has been abused by almost every single melee champion ASWELL as some ADC's ( ) and Yasuo is not exception, Nerf his Ultimate and E scaling. Or remove the ULTimate safety and lower his shield as I mentioned.

Id like to finish off by complaining about something from a Yasuo's perspective. I don't care about him being nerfed, or buffed I really do not. ~~BUT, IT REALLY TICKS ME OFF WHEN I LOCK IN YASUO AND I GET FLAMED IMMEDIATELY , YOU WILL NOT BELEIVE HOW FLAMED U WILL GET IF OU PLAY YASUO. ~~Id just like to ask the community to stop treating Yasuo members as sub human scum bags with no brain cells, Its annoying. Id lock in Yasuo mid and be called a degenerate or an adopted retard, oh my favorite one 'A horse feeding degenerate that should be gunned down in Alabama' (idk why alabama but ok i guess). THIS IS IN THE LOBBY WE HAVENT EVEN GOT INTO THE GAME.

Btw I've never really seen or experienced his ULT putting you out of tower range, maybe its because i haven't payed attention but whatever. Id like to hear your thoughts on this, thanks for reading if you have.
