Can we please make sure we address the actual problems Yasuo has unlike last times attempt to nerf Yasuo? Seriously it was laughable to call it a nerf, they reduced his armor growth stats even though he mostly fights mages, and reduced his growth attack speed which did about the same thing Azirs recent buffs did, absolutely nothing
Ýisus2 votesYasuo is 1 of the few champions I would count as unbalanced. He is close to impossible to lane against unless you are a tank that can produce damage. His E needs to be changed or nerfed hardcore.
Leo10242 voteshis everything does, he's not impossible to beat but it's no fun win or lose because late game it feels like you winning lane didn't even matter since he can still 1 v 3 without a problem, not to mention his wall completely fucks up an entre teamfight
Dehitay2 votesThe problem is all they've ever done is nerf him. His kit is broken, not his damage. Both his main damage spells have less than a second cooldown and no mana restraints to regulate spamming. His damage has 5 variable multiplication (AD, crit chance, crit chance doubling, crit damage multipliers, and built in armor penetration on ult). He has 3 different defensive pieces (shield, insane mobility kiting, and projectile blocking). Instead of a normal passive, he gets 2 which are each better than a normal passive.
There's a number of things you would have to do to fix him. Move his crit chance increase and damage decrease to scale on level with his windwall so he has to max that first to get double crit chance. Flat out remove the armor penetration on ulting; he has way too much built in multiplicative damage already. Put a hard CD (maybe 6 seconds) with a visible effect on his E after he uses it and then goes 2 seconds without recasting it. Make his Q's CD scale on level instead of attack speed.
zacktootall1 votesor you could just deal with what we have and get better at the game because of it
Leo10242 votesthere's a fine line with dealing with a counter or different playstyles, but Yasuo crosses over to no matter what, you're gonna have no fun at all since you'll just farm for 20 minutes until teamfights start since he gets a free pass for his mistakes every few seconds
zacktootall1 votesYasuo doesn't cross over anything you just have that "fine line" in a different place. and what is this bs "free pass" you are talking about?
Leo10242 votesThe fact that if you want to get any damage you'll have to somehow land something when ja dashing all over the damned place, even if you hit something or he fucks up, he's got his passive and his stupid wall and he can continue to dash away with no consequences, he doesn't have to commit to anything when he goes in which is really unhealthy
zacktootall1 voteswelcome to any champ with mobility and the shield just a few more damage points i can farm for now back to your point oh wait there is non......
Leo10242 votestell me one other champion that moves around as much as yasuo does? riven and vayne are the only other ones but neither also has a wall that blocks anything or a passive that demos the same
Shahamut1 votesRiven has a low cooldown Dash with a Shield that scales off of AD. Vayne can simply knock you away with E the moment you try to close gap and just walk away.
Skarner can slow you, supress and displace you, then stun you, and when its all over the slow is back up leading to another stun. OP man...
I can pick any champ and complain about their kit if thats what I want to do. Not saying Yasuo couldn't use some game health changes, but he isnt free lane, and he isn't unbeatable. And he doesn't 1v3 with no problem unless he is the only on at late game...
