Yasuo change

So i think the main game play issue with yauso is that he has almost no cdr on his kit. The lack of cdr means that he almost never worries about when to engage he just does.

The biggest offender in this case is his "E". A skilled Yasuo will know how to use it to always get away. The only cdr it has that it cant be used on the same thing for X seconds. This free movement skill he has makes it very hard to finsh off a wounded yasou. The constant jumping through things if done right can make it impossible to catch him.

I personally would like to see an ammo system instead of the unlimited uses that "E" has. Give 3 max charges with a 10 sec cdr per charge. This would allow Yasuo to still do hit and run tactics but kill a lot of his free movement speed.

There are only certain areas his e can be used and not often at all unless there are a lot of targets, i.e. an enemy minion wave. Sometimes your own overall playstyle has to change to accomodate a new mechanic a champion brings in. In Yasuo's case watch out for when a friendly wave (more jump targets for him) if you don't want him close. A good Yasuo will make sure to engage when he has an out like this. He is meant to be a glass cannon fighter similar to Riven, so dashing in whenever he wants isn't a strategy he can get away with unless he is given a good lead.

That isn't even a new adaptation that people should be having to make. Renekton has for a while used an enemy's creep wave to slice and dice towards them or away from them. Same with the Yasuo E.

The whole idea behind yasuo was to have a melee adc who was specifically oreinted towards team fights. All his abilities are oriented towards this, at the price of having the worst laning phase of all the melee adcs. If he did not have every single on of his abilities, he would be absolutely useless. adding an ammo system to his e would ruin him.

no it would make him have to be smarter. right now its run around as much as he wants. Why is unlimited mobility key to him? What cant he do in a team fight with 3 charges that he can do with unlimited.

I put a pretty low cool down on a charge also.
