"Just pick a champion without skillshots".

That's not the question I'm asking. I understand that he does worse against enemies who have point and click abilities, but I'm asking how to deal with him when I am using a champion with skillshots, for example if their mid picks after I do - which isn't that uncommon.

As far as reaction time goes... to be fair, league of legends is also clicking. ;)

0.08 miliseconds - I bet you meant seconds :P. For me, 80 ms ping time is the absolute best it has ever been recorded to be at. Average is approximately 120, and at worst it's between 180 and 300. I guess Windstream in Nebraska ain't the best.

For Riven's shield to be at 600, she needs to have 400 bonus AD. Meaning 500 + total. I guess it's possible during the ult, or if Riven is really fed (not too uncommon). As far as Yasuo's not recharging fast, well... "fast" is somewhat subjective, but with 4 dashes taking 2.4 seconds, it's theoretically on a lower cooldown than Riven's, with the downside being that he needs to be only dashing during this time. Early on (levels 1 - 13), I will agree, the shield recharges relatively slowly. Although as I said, the shield isn't my *main* complaint about him, it's more or less the kind of annoyance you find on most other champs - frustrating, but able to be dealt with.

As far as his dashes being limited, I'm assuming that Yasuo is trading when there are 6 minions. Predicting which one he will dash to is no light task (i'm assuming that's what you mean by dashes being limited, as the dash lasts 0.6 seconds and is on a 0.5 second cooldown).

"Slow with W, then hit with Q". The case for opening with W is indeed a lot better, as it starts out at 125-radius instead of 75 and doesn't have a delay. Thank you. The problem I see is that he can dash out of the AOE, giving you 2 seconds to try to A. Break the shield (although you could have done this earlier, especially earlier on) with Es, or B. attempt to land a Q, which, given that his main tool of dodging isn't largely affected by slows, is still just as difficult.

Thanks for the input though, it is appreciated. Actually, this brings up an interesting question. If Yasuo's E speed is affected by bonus movement speed, does that mean it's also affected by reduced movement speed? Does it scale linearly? If both of these are true, first item Rylai's could be amazing. Ability details doesn't cover it :(
