lategame trinity > statikk
pros
- same atkspd
- u cant get more than 100% crit chance and this build does
- spellblade pass > statikk pass
- gives both ad and ap which are both used on his skills
- free movespeed on hit
cons
- statikk cost much less
- vs full armor teams statikk may b better
- 1% more movespeed (such movespeed )
- highest dmg item early game among cheap items
- movespeed and its pass stack well with yasuo pass.

Nope, Statikk Shiv is core item on Yasuo. Trinity Force on the other hand, isn't.

-take statikk only if rll behind since trinity is expansive
-q isnt affected by cdr but cdr can be usefull for his ult to turn it in a perma lw only if needed ( black cleverer +nerfed sv+ zephyr/ yomuus + masteries gives u 35~40% cdr but i wouldnt get that much as it isnt rll effective on him since his R passive element should lastre enough)
-frozen is a possible def choice and it stacks with atmas.... even thou i hate the item itself

Hi aesri
tl dr at bottom
i just wanted to say you should see gp metagolem build (and s4 variation...i dont have links here soz) .
Imo the concept is awesome and bruiser yasuo can be somehow fit in this meta ( line knock up which needs 2.7 to charge up... a aoe cc every 4(/2.7 if u hit tornado) s is pretty neat,high mobility and is a fine bodyguard thanks to his w...yeah i read your guide).
You should consider to put in ie as core.
IE+trinity+atmas = 100% Crit chance
then 2 def items (spirit visage over banshee since id rather put 6% lifesteal quint , guardian angel/omen but mow/sunfire are viable and a good player can ITEMIZATE depending on opponents team) and zephyr/mercurys for tenacity.
Go botkr+sv only if u can sustain throu physical dmg
Runes should be lifesteal / movespeed /atkspeed quint ad/atkspeed marks armor seals and mrxlvl gliph as yasuo has no built in mrxlvl
About masteries i change them on every game but i havent seen hybrid mastery trees yet.
And trin....that tonz of dmg item is crazy on yasuo.... dmg + 140% crit (the skill gives 100 free ad as crit apply on full dmg)+200% ad... and u can spam q....ppl think u should build him as a sin but think... here doesnt needs lw since his ult give him free armpen for the entire fight and his dmg is high.

tl;dr
-yasuo bruiser is fit in this meta
-he needs trinity+IE (see below)
-botkr is optional if here gets lf quint + spirit visage and 21 9 0 masteries i
-statikk in this build isnt necessary.. he caps crit and gets almost enough atkspeed
-his role in tf is still to dive teams with ult but the fact he can survive makes him a sort of cc machine too
-he cant rll build full sin vs a hard cc team when his team has not many ccs
-his ult is a free lw
:)

And not to mention that going 21/6/3 taking those 3 points in fleet of foot is invaluable. i Like to take 2 lifesteal quints and 1 movespd quint with this for a balance of sustain/ movespd.

remove Frozen Mallet and Atma's Impaler

Hey guys- also made an account to reply to various comments as well as possible itemisation choices for yasuo.Cdr in fact is ridiculously good late game on Yasuo, depending on build preference of course, but great with his ultimate at later levels. With 40% cdr at lvl 3 Ultimate, the total cooldown of his ultimate is 15 seconds. 15 SECONDS. this synergises well with tanky items like spirit visage ( which also works amazingly if you pick up a botrk rather than a bloodthirster, giving you lifesteal, attack speed and that great active which increases flow regeneration.if you need tenacity, pick up a zephyr ( theory base on this item, havent built it myself, should be good with the dmg, move speed etc.)From here i like to start with 10% cdr, using 9x cdr glyphs) with 2 points for cdr in masteries, the other two for attack speed in masteries. Oh and by building trinity, Atmas's impaler and then Ie that gives you 100 crit chance too- a useful bit of info to anyone wise enough to not go glass cannon on a melee champ.

Solid build/items. I did very well on my first run. The glass cannon build works but this one works even better. Thanks Upvoted!

You are correct, Aesri. Only the cooldown of his Q is affected by attack speed.

I am pretty sure that the AttackSpeed only affects the Cooldown of his Q but will make a doublecheck on this one as soon as I'm home (so in around 9-10 hours).

Thanks for the feedback, though.
