Patch 4.1 Notes

[quote=Wayne3100][quote=IPodPulse] I felt that Yasuo deserved a buff. He is a very difficult champion with a bad winrate, it would make sense for Riot to buff him. [/quote] A champion being difficult shouldn't lead to buffs, it should lead to people improving their mechanics in order to play him properly :P Early winrates are never a good thing to go by, unless they are ridiculously high right from the start. In [[Yasuo]]'s case, his winrate has been steadily climbing ([url=http://www.lolking.net/champions/yasuo#statistics]or at least this chart seems to suggest so[/url], from 47.89% on December 21[sup]st[/sup] to 49.87% on January 13[sup]th[/sup]), so I guess Riot might be waiting a little longer to see where that'll end. From my personal experience playing against him I think he's pretty damn strong though x_x[/quote]

[quote=sirell]So far, it seems [[yasuo]] is hit and miss, kinda in the same way [[aatrox]] was. I think the term Lasty used was 'feast or famine' champion.[/quote]

Late-game however, he experienced issues with surviviability and this change to his ult should allow [[yasuo]] players to use it more offensively. Personally I think his passive is a bit too strong but then again... why does Riot keep designing resourceless champions?[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]They said why they gave him that buff, and I agree that his ultimate is really rather underwhelming when you get it. He still lacks a lot of kill potential even when he has it at level 6, so giving him a bit more defense to use it more aggressively helps.[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000]i like the fact that the nasus nerf was not really big. that means that all the people who played him because of hypetrain will stop playing him and i can keep playing him without having to worry about bans. also what otg said about [[noxian guillotine]].[/quote]

From my personal experience playing against him I think he's pretty damn strong though x_x [/quote] I get what you are saying. He is a strong champ, really strong. But he is really difficult and I can see why that gave him buffs, most of them are improved mechanics anyway. The Q buff for example. They made that to smart cast. I do agree with what you are saying about how Riot is waiting on Yasuo. I believe the buffs may be temporary, almost like training wheels for new Yasuo players.[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]i don't think yasuo needed shit. he is similar to lucian...takes a while to nail down his mechanics but once you do he becomes top tier. obviously he is getting almost a permaban in lcs for the fact that he is newer but also i think cause he is really good. low elo he = feed like a boss though cause no one plays him right and because at low elo getting behind seems to mean that you need to be MORE aggressive. makes a lot of sense i know. interested in regards to the spectral wraith stat addition. more ap for elise :)[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Jungle [[mordekaiser]] finally sustained![/quote]

[quote=Lord Kesharq]Yasuo does not need anything, he is ok the way he is atm from what i have seen down in b5/b4 people playing him have nearly always been borederline hypercarries like Yi in some cases. Now this may just be unskilledness on the parts of us b5/b4 players (which am sure all u higher tier players will say it is) but a few kills ahead yasuo is just as bad as a few kills ahead yi in my opinon.[/quote]
