we have 10 bans now and it feels like theres still too many people to ban
lol , he may not be op but he definitely didn't need buffs
In other words, Riot wants 100% banrate on Yasuo.
hes not even annoying to play against
they are buffing and nerfing based on the pro-scene, not the lower ranking scene, of course you guys think some champion is cancer or broken while the pro don't.
A lot of Yasuo's frustration comes from his capability to spam all of his abilities without consequences or real thought involved into them. Sure, A GOOD YASUO PLAYER won't just spam them, but if he missues them more often than not there will be little repercussion unless he is super extended and gets ganked or dives under tower or something of the like
What if Riot changes NOTHING about Yasuo, but gives him a mana bar on top of his flow bar. Now all of the sudden 2 things happen:
Essence Reaver becomes core on him, thus reducing the efficiency he currently has stacking attack speed and thus greatly reducing his Q CD up front. He will have to buy it if he wants to spam his E, but because CD has so little benefit to his kit outside his W, his total gold efficiency on his passive will be reduced.
He now is mana gated early game and can't just spam his abilities without thinking
EDIT: Rather than downvoting, I would invite you to write down why this idea does or does not work, which is more productive
Holy God, this cancer champ didn't need extra safety and defenses, and an ability to now ult us from a screen and a half away, instead of just a screen LOL
Riot: "We saw that Yasuo was being banned in a very high percentage of games. We recognize that he's a problematic champion, so we will buff him."
Wait Yasuo is getting buffed? Sorry for the ignorance I've been away on vacation
Kha'Zix: I am living change!
Me: can I have that quarter you owe me then?
