Remove the double crit from Yasuo.

Nearly every game I play there is a damn Yasuo. Everyone wants to play this champion with double crit training wheels. It get's ridiculous the damage he does and the item 3072 on top of his passive shield and his ult shield. The double crit makes him tanky with life steal because he doesn't even need a heals when he'll just swipe across lanes to heal up faster than a soldier swimming in med pack. His passive shield and the double crit stands out thematically. It's like giving Zac, Taliyah, teemo, jayce, or Urgot a passive shield and double crit. It's a "Just there" type of stat. I know a better mechanic can be in place with yasuo than a double crit stat. 5% crit passive is fine but, double is damn insane? He crits like a toddler with a shotgun. The damage is unexpected. A lot of champions I can deal with.... other than Darius , Blitzcrank ,MasterYi , Rengar ,and Teemo , but yasuo's damage just get's completely brainless. Damage on auto pilot. He looks fun to play. The double crit just makes it feel dirty. His windwall is already a defense why give him the passive shield? He already is a spammy champ with a tornado why give him double crit? Those two just sound like they were added when he was underpowered or getting his butt countered in testing after his entire kit was complete.

If yasuo's character is destroyed with the removal of the double crit then leave in some crit. 2% or something. Give him a new passive where he can build up crit based on minion farm. 2% every 50 minions killed at a cap of 10% crit. or 2% crit every 3 champions killed cap of 15% crit.

Like it's all fun going against him until his crits get out of hand. We're talking damage so large he ignores consequences. Fed Is one thing but, messing with the balance of 1v1 is another when he can 1v3 even when behind because of 2 items.

OR you can put in a armor item that reduce crit based on damage taken over time. So the more crit you take the higher the crit reduction going up to 80% at cap. :3 That'll be it's main stat. AP item. idk. lol

Crit training wheels, I love that metaphor.

Okay. What's his compensation for that?

It's better than "I have items that add up to 40% crit... that's cool... wait!!! O_O My passive is double crit? YAY! MINDLESS 80% SKILLESS DAMAGE!!! I CAN PASS A CRIT THRESHOLD BASED ON THIS PASSIVE. :D" Then he runs around chopping down players with 3 sword strokes each. every 2 seconds

You do realize that yasuo's dps is lower than an adc's, when they have the same items

Sounds like a ad problem and not a crit problem. Also that sounds like a level 18 full build vs level 18 full build issue along with So many diffierent adc's out there with different kits. Why can't his ad scale better? Why leave it so that the double crit or training wheels need to stay on because of an issue you faced him with to continue to exist? Out of all the champions with crit Yasuo is the most insane. As I said before it sounded like something they added later because he was underpowered or getting his butt countered. It's training wheels than actually fixing the damn problem. If he can't ride the bike then help him ride it without training wheels. Don't let everyone else know how to ride a bike and yasuo comes rolling down the lane past people at top speed with his sword pointed out, his legs off the peddles, and yelling "mufassah!" as he pass everyone with his speed aka damage. Yi doesn't have double crit and he slice down who ever he can get his Q and ult onto.

Actually, he was made with his double crit passive to fit his character as a Ronin who uses Iai strikes (attacking by unsheathing the sword, attacking, and sheathing in 1 motion).

To make him have powerful strikes without just outright giving it to him, they decided that putting the power in the double crit passive would fit the character best.

Before one such Yasuo one-trick replies with "he only has 90% crit damage"._ Fuck off_ item 3031 Exists.

I'm not a yasuo OTP but even with IE his crit damage is decreased. Crits with IE deal only 225% bonus damage. There's this thing called math...

There is a lot of autism here. Being able to get 100% crit with 2 items is not balance and never will be

said who? He's pidgeonholed into building full glass cannon because of the way he functions, he needs bonus stats to survive.

0 cd dashes near minions

Of course he needs mobility if he is a melee glass cannon.

a shield better than malphite's as a bonus passive just for moving

Yeah, but malphite bonus armor scaling in his kit and Yasuo does not.

a windwall that's one of the strongest abilities in the game

that's a blatant lie. It's completely immobile and can be easily countered by anyone with skill at the game. If it actually "one of the strongest abilities in the game" then he would be picked in LCS constantly.

insanely high DPS for how tanky he can build

according to what exactly?

a FIFTY PERCENT armour pen steroid

would you rather have % max health true damage or flat true damage? Skirmishers need a way of inherently countering tanks (see MasterYi Fiora )

Why does his tornado need to crit? Why does his e get such a low cooldown?

removing the one mechanic that keeps Yasuo building crit (read: squishy) would just make him go back to bruiser builds, even more bruiser-y than before because now he doesn't need IE, he'd just take titanic and become half-tank.

crit yasuo isn't a problem. he deals reduced damage on crits and his DPS isn't nearly on par with other melee carries

With Bloodthirst and his crit he felt damn tanky to me. 3 players had to pop his passive shield, the blood shield, and then dps him down. Don't forget the life steal from his crits. If league was a game of everyone level at the exact same time, get the same gold at the same time, and it's a objective game then most likely I wouldn't be having this issue because everyone could counter what someone else is building easily. Thing is League punishes you for losing a 1v1, or losing cs, or losing to a gank, or a team fight, or baron kill, and stack all that on and you're going to have a really low chance of making a comeback unless their biggest damage afk's, dies, or quits. Yasuo getting ahead could kill your chance of doing another 1v1 because he's gained the item he needed to crit your face into pepperoni. Can you cs to get the gold? Nope cause they'll gladly take advantage of you losing one fight that pushed you behind. Everyone at level 1 no builds and level 18 full builds is a fun match. Half your team at lvl 10 and half their team at level 14 is not a fun match. Most times you won't see your full build with enemy champions skipping down lane with your teammates heads hanging on their waist. I know there has to be another solution than double crit. The power spike is what kills me. Not his kit. Crit is his brainless damage. It's a pistol and not a baseball bat in damage.
