@Riot, why doesn't Yasuo have MR per level?

I remember a year or 2 ago you guys said that all melee champs will have MR per level. Is there a reason why he doesnt? Is it because of his W?

Poppy doesn't and a lot of other melees as well. This is because they excel in mobility or something else, I think ...
And Yasuos is practically unhitable by skillshots, thanks to his w and e.

I would agree with you except that Poppy and the other melees don't have MR per level because they were made before the change was put in place. I think Morello said they weren't going to give Shen MR per level until they also change other parts of his kits/stats. All new melee champs have MR per level.

scroll to the right until you find MR+, click on the 'up-arrow'.
Find Range, again, click on the 'Up-arrow'
say huh

P.s. : Kassadin's MR+ was actually removed in a recent patch.

They did that because it was double dipping punishment (for the enemy caster trying to hurt him) from that and his passive allowing him to get around magic damage. Riot decided that they would leave his passive, not hurting his early game, but cut his MR per level off, effecting him later on.

Yes, and a good Yasuo is immune to sill shots. Played in mid lane most skill shots will be magic based.
