THIS IS NOT A YASUO QQ COMPLAINING POST!

But....

Every time i play against yasuo (even if i win) i hate this anti-fun champion more and more. A yasuo main has 20% crit in runes and only needs one item to get 100% crit, and no matter how much armor i stack his ult melts through it like butter.

I think that yasuo could be made less anti-fun by:

- Making wind wall cost all of Yasuo's built up flow

- Reduce 50% bonus armor pen from ult to 25% total armor pen

- Putting sweeping blade on a charge system. Yasuo gains a charge every time he critically strikes up       to a maximum of 3-15 ( based on level ) stored at once. He would also get a charge every 8-3 (based       on level) seconds when out of combat.

- Double flow generation from Sweeping Blade

- Change ult cooldown to 80 / 55 / 45

These changes are in no way severe nerfs but will add counterplay. Yasuo will still be able to absolutely destroy late game but need to actually outplay his opponent in lane. Right now, all yasuo does is stack q and e on minions, dash through the enemy laner, knockup, AA, and dash away. The charge system would force yasuo to think about how he engages and disengages at low levels. Making windwall cost flow adds counterplay in that he cannot instantly block a skillshot and then engage for a free trade. I get that yasuo's shield lets him withstand poke so doubling the flow generation is a good compensation buff.

Lowering yasuo's free armor pen gives AP midlaners a chance to stop yasuo from oneshotting them with his ult. RIght now AP Mids need to rush armor, forcing them to delay their builds. Yasuo does not have this problem or need to build any defensive items: Playing against azir? Dash out of his soldiers! Playing against Xerath? Dash out of his skillshots!

Nerfed ult cooldown because essence reaver = 20s cd AOE Supression nuke = OP

These are all changes designed around weakening Yasuo's early game and adding counterplay but allowing him to destroy after he has his core items.

What do you think about these ideas?
