User blog comment:AXE MURDERER/Yasuo is disgusting/@comment-24315274-20131226174037

Yasuo's strength is similar to riven's strength: snowballing and scaling. Because riven has extremely high AD ratios, she snowballs from the slightest advantage in lane and can use her snowball power to win games. I compare yasuo to riven because of the gold economy of buying crit: crit outscales raw AD in the lategame and his passive allows him to scale harder than most by surpassing the 6 item limit with free stats. I've noticed that he seems extremely weak and bully-able, especially buy another manaless champ like vlad, shen, or kennen in the toplane.
