Riot, you cant say damage is to high and then buff Yasuo's damage right after.

Yasuo Last Breath (R) bonus AD increased from 150% to 250%

Have you guys actually fucking lost your minds? You just admitted damage was too high, and then you go and give one of the highest damage champions in the game MORE fucking damage?

This is actually fucking madness, Please someone stop these maniacs!

They cancelled it shortly after it was announce but they didn't make the cancellation very public. I remember it was just a comment that a Rioter made. Apparently he is too popular to be reworked or something.

The same thing happened to Lee a long time ago. They tried to re-balance the damage in his kit and fanboys EXPLODED.

Happens for every champion. It's just that Yasuo, Zed, Lee and the like are either stupendously popular or played by only mains/one-tricks. In either case any large-scale change is going to make many of those people really angry. Take note that those are also only damage dealing champions, burst or not. I don't recall any outburst of negative comments for the, say, Sejuani rework (though I might be wrong) - but Sejuani is a tank. One that doesn't fall in the category "Builds full tank and kills you with just base damage".

Kynami5 votes

Sej actually had better kill pressure from snowballing pre-rework. Her defense passive was considered a joke, but her AP bruiser status was actually pretty good. She'd pop out behind your tower from the jungle and pretty much 50-0 you then waltz out from under the tower with 80% health left. Now most of her damage is locked up in a 4 stack passive that "allows" her a stun and %HP hit but massively fails against Riot's favored outplay mobility picks because its so damn hard to land four blasted stacks on a hyper mobile over tuned carry as a melee with all the delays in the kit. Rework cost her easily accessed area slow, an auto-reset, and her AP scaling option.

No, they said that the direction they were aiming for didn't pan out.

Yep I remember that and it was meddler who said it they wanted to buff windwall and nerf his base stats to make him worse against melee champions

then it didn't work out

Are you sure? From what I remember, I think it was Meddler (or maybe it was another Rioter) who commented that he didn't think work/exploration was ever started on it and it fell off the radar pretty quick.

meanwhile Ezreal is stupidly popular and decently strong still, and they feel the need to change an ability because players find it lack luster.... like WTF, there are so many things they could be doing to make the game better for everyone, but they need to cater to the popular kids instead of the game as a whole instead.

Oh OK so they'll totally rip-and-replace champions that only a few people like but they can't even make minor changes to popular ones. Well kids, better hope your main is popular!

Yasuo lowkey suffers from the burst damage meta too, it doesn't make sense to buff him after his items got cheaper and assassins are expected to get a slap on the wrist :/

Is that a fucking 100% increase.........?

Edit: I understand the 66% increase. I meant the literal 100% bonus AD increase versus the 66% increase to the ratio. Sorry for any confusion.

It's completely Ludacris. I've never seen a balance team completely throw all sense out the fucking window like this. I feel like I'm watching someone hit a self-destruct button and then exploding.

Technically its a 66% increase, but literal 100% increase.

Imagine a mage getting a 60% AP ratio buff to their ult. Just an example.

Annie Ult goes from 65% AP ratio to 125% AP ratio.

That is essentially what's going on here, and as a die hard Annie fan, even jotting that down as an idea makes me wanna smack myself. I imagine most Yasuo fans feel the same way.

I doubt yasuo mains are complaining about the buffs lol didnt see them complaining with IE changes essentially giving him 400% more crit plus true damage. I honestly dont understand why the buffs since IE gives him easier access to that 100% crit rate and more true damage along side conqueror.

EkyonKun3 votes

Oh Im sure the not-so-bright yasuo players arent complaining, I was talking about the ones who are smart enough to figure out that its hard to play a champion with a 200% ban rate.

Actually, buffing the damage from 150% AD to 250% AD means the original scaling was buffed by 66% (100 is 66% of 150).

It's August, and they are still making their own game worse and worse :D it's intentional at this point. It's unbelievable they haven't fixed anything since November, when it was already clear that things were wrong (starting with the new -ugly- Runes).

Someone is responsible for this, but still keeps working on this game, obviously with this kind of outcomes.

Exactly, i think they decided to prank each-other at rito hq with fake changes but then got drunk and forgot about them, then repeated this 204.23 times. They sorta don't have any idea what is going on at this point and barely play their own game...

I'm convinced they are trashing the game so that we can easily hop ship once the new game they have been working on releases.

Teridax6815 votes

What's even worse is that this is exactly the kind of damage increase that contributes to one-shots. If Yasuo had received an increase to his AD, attack speed, or Q damage, it would still be unwarranted, but at least it'd play more to his DPS. Adding 100% bonus AD to his ult means his punishing combo will deal even more burst damage, and therefore be even more likely to kill champions while they're being stunlocked/airborne. I don't understand why this change would ever occur.

If anything they should have removed its hidden passive that attempts to move him out of tower range while ulting.

it is already league of assassins most games on normal 3-4 assassins in team when assassins easily kill tanks without any drawbacks there is a fucking huge problem with the game

A Bepi7 votes

Yasuo is already a strong champion when played correctly. Yeah I can see how he suffers from high damage meta picks but he is so over packed that buffing him like this will only throw him over the edge. Yes I hate yasuo but if hes strong he is cancer and problematic due to his kit, i feel that hes doing ok in his current state and doesnt need buffs. Now if they got rid of that 50% penetration he gets then alright the buffs are warranted. I know tanks are getting buffed but yasuo isnt exactly a tank killer and he should straight up struggle to kill a champion that sacrificed damage for defence. They over buffed fizz so seeing these buffs dont surprise me alongside lee buffs lol

Dream High7 votes

I really am struggling. The cancer Fizz is worth a perma ban now i've got to start perma banning Yasuo again.

You cant gave fun mid unless you play cancer like zed, Talon, wukong, Yasuo and Fizz.

I guess I will have to go back to banning Yasuo every game.
