been meaning to pitch this one for a minute... and yeah i know we just got project yasuo but theres no reason something like this couldnt be in ritos backburners.

possibly having a taunt like vi or rengars that rasies and lowers his helmet visor

also he plays a pan flute and drinks from a leather flask

for his weapon, instead of katana he weilds a straight sword

if anyone sees this and likes the idea, please give me a quick bumperino

That leg armor is so Dark Soul-ish <3 I'm in love with that.

Also, how neat would it be if this skin had a toggle for the visor of the helm?

Going on, I really like the skin concept, the color choices, and the overall impact (the plume in place of the hair was indeed a clever solution), and there is one small suggestion I'd like to make. For his sword, have you thought replacing the longsword with a falchion or a scimitar?

The fact is, longswords don't really fit with Yasuo style of slashing since, as you probably know, most longswords were bastard blades, which means they were sharp on both sides of the weapon. Yasuo handles his weapon that way because his weapon has only a sharp side , and thus he have to rotate and slash. On the other hand, falchions and scimitars have only 1 sharp edge , while being western style enough to fit with the knight theme.

I really like ideas for Yasuo skins that reference other warrior archetypes that shared similarities with samurai. I love the concept you have and I'd like to see it expounded upon. I'm not too fond of the pan flute though, it's a little out of place in my opinion. I could see a knight playing a simple wooden flute, but the pan flute reminds me more of central/south America where knights....didn't really show up.
