The Real Adjustment Yasuo Needs

Ultra Rapid Fyre··3 votes·415 views

Before you complain about him being OP, or un-fun to play against, try to come up with logical ways to balance champions.

The primary focus on yasuos kit people most dislike seems to be his wind wall interactions, mainly the part where he can cast his windwall in the opposite direction of abilities and still block them because it comes from inside his character model

My main idea to implement before any major changes go through to yasuo is to change the way his wind wall is cast

What i mean by this is make his wall like anivias wall where it doesn't come from her, but is cast out like a spell, think about it like yasuo raising or slashing the ground to bring his wind wall up from a designated area in front of him INSTEAD of from inside of him

This would eliminate ALOTTTTTT of players frustration with this champion ( we can address the damage and ulting people under turrets but always being outside turret range at another point in time, lets focus on the wind wall please )

This would be one major step in the right direction for keeping his functionality and kit in tact while removing the "un-fun" part of his wind wall interaction with abilities that currently exists

Personally, I only have two real issues with his kit (and you have already noted one).

Windwall blocking abilities when cast in the opposite direction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OuN3HNCf0c

Ultimate positioning him outside of tower range (0:33 to 1:00) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YINsRtqipk&feature=youtu.be&list=PLsL7hqZ-1QGQhF_QV2ZyTm0Rp0DrhTuq1&t=33

Honestly, they just seem like unnecessary safety nets against improper usage of the abilities. Other champions aren't afforded the same luxuries, so I don't see why Yasuo should be an exception.

Remove his e, wind wall, crit passive, and give him 5 item slots as opposed to 6. Problem solved.

Give him actual cooldowns. Especially on his E.

I like the tweak to windwall, although it will still be cancer.

And his passive needs touched up.

He shouldn't get 100% crit with 2 items. and then go tanky.

i would appreciate more input, preferably get some rioters in here, because i feel like this is a valid tuning change that is a way to properly balance something without destroying the concept or functionality of it.

Thank you to those who have contributed so far to this conversation
