Why all the recent Yasuo hate threads?
I'd just like to say before I say anything further, I do consider myself a Yasuo main. However, I will try to be as unbiased as I can.
Yasuo's last tweak to his kit was back in 5.8. Flow capacity cap was increased and flow generation was reduced in the early game. Nothing too bad.
There was also a recent change to Trinity Force on patch 6.11 that had the removal of crit, and instead compensated with extra CDR and attack speed. I would consider this a nerf since I used to build this item if I was ahead, and the 20% crit + sheen proc was really nice. Now after the changes, you no longer get crit, and Yasuo doesn't benefit too much from the CDR since his Q/E isn't affected by CDR.
His current winrate in the midlane is 49% and toplane 52%.
He is not the hardest champion to play, but very hard to master. He hasn't changed much for the longest time, why is he only just suddenly getting hate now? Are people just hopping on the "hate yasuo" hypetrain to farm free upvotes?
In my honest opinion, he is not in need of change. If anyone needs a change, it's Ekko. Top lane tank ekko has way too much utility and damage.
