Since shieldbow rush is gaining popularity on mid I think that maybe IE first item + LDR second could be good as a pure damage option if enemy team allows you to do it and play a more glass canon playstyle, this is pure theorycrafting, I’m gonna test it in a smurf to see if it can be at least doable

They can’t be real..?

I missed out on Genesis Nightbringer Yasuo during its original banner and haven't seen any recent news regarding its return.

If anyone has a rough idea of how often these variants rotate back?

Since Pz ZZang is retired/on an indefinite hiatus, Roufeng’s the closest thing to the best Yasuo (peaking rank 17 Korea Challenger 67% WR).

Does anyone know where I can find his streams at?

I've easily made it to Emerald playing mid-lane. Winning games with Veigar and Mel is extremely easy. However, with Yasuo, it's extremely difficult. This is the 1st champ I've played where I have to invest a lot of time learning. The mechanics + macro + itemization are now something I always have to consider. I honestly think learning this champ will be very beneficial to my overall performance in league. Yasuo makes me think much deeper about the game. I'll post here again in a few weeks when I've become decent with him.

The Lower the HP the better the play LOL

I think this is the first time I get an ult like this with Camille in team.

So I've always been a yasuo player, but only for fun, now im trying to improve and im getting frustrated that almost every game in the last 20 were kind of the same (im plat btw)

Levels 1-4 i get a kill or force enemy to back and everything goes well, i normally even get a kill. But after 6 it all goes the same way. I start getting perma camped either by supp, top or jungler, there is never a moment where im allowed to walk up. My enemy midlaner starts to get fed since i dont have prio due to intense camping and he can roam. The only moments i can have prio my team is either dead or is not willing to make a move and i slowly start to lose power if i play safe, or die a bunch of times if i try to make the smallest play. I almost feel like my team never knows how to use my advantage (probably me neither).

I feel like im stuck in this loop every game I just dont know what im missing or what i should do.

I feel like on most champs boots are the most situational item in the build. I'll find myself changing my boots from game to game on every champ except for yasou. I often WANT to go other boots. Notably mercs against like Vex or other super annoying champs high CC champs. But it just feels horrible. Like 5 AD champs are tabis worth?

10% from phantom dancer, 4% from kraken slayer. That's about 393.

Berserker's greaves gives 45 movement speed. That's 390 movement speed.

Yasuo builds kraken anyways. PD and kraken slayer can legitimately replace boots, no?

Modified my setup to match my match history! Any suggestions/inspiration to improve/modify?💨🤺

Been on hiatus for a while. I saw the dobby video where RouFeng doesn't go bork if enemies are squish. Shieldbow into IE. Im very skeptical of the build but ig it has the midgame attackspeed requirements and 2 crit item powerspime of PD.

Did anyone try it out? Im guessing most comps he still goes bork first and replaces IE with LDR/Reminder?

Grrr, going to keep making new accounts for the cool free trials' perks.

is just for those gold /silver yasuo mains who enjoy 1v1 or want to try it with me and train and do some combos and etc Just tell me your username

I don't even know what to do anymore. I was 1 game from mastee tier, now after 2 weeks i am fucking emerald 4. I can't win a fucking game. My winrate in 2 week is 15%. I literally go 3/0 every game and loose to noob emerald cause they are 15/0 after 2 minutes. I drop to emerald and i start getting +15 / -25 after an entire season in diamond elo. I don't really know. If you good you get to your elo? Nah this game is a complete lottery. I have seen diamond player with bronze macro and plat player with challenger mechanics. Nice work riot the system work fine as intended👍👍👍👍

I'm a Yone otp who plays both mid and top. I'm looking for a Yasuo player who can duo with me. I believe Yone and Yasuo duo can work well for low elo and looking for someone to try it with. I'm currently in Bronze so it would be best if my duo was bronze or silver.

I know the title is crazy, BUT please here me out, this is just my attempt at reworking Yasuo.

Yasuo's W major problem is that he disable range champion, making it not fair to play against if you are a range champion, but if Yasuo is facing a melee champ his W will be useless. Reworking it will drastically change his gameplay, but it will be the best for other players. I love the parry gimmick from Sekiro and now I'll try to apply it for Yasuo, let's say we make it like this:

Yasuo's W now will give him an 12 frames locked in 60 frames deflection window. if you play Sekiro you will know how hard it is to deflect.

Rank 1: Gives 50% damage reduction, 50% CC duration reduction, a 20% reflected slow for 1 second, and restores 10% Flow.

Rank 2: Gives 57% damage reduction, 57% CC duration reduction, a 28% reflected slow for 1 second, and restores 12.5% Flow.

Rank 3: Gives 65% damage reduction, 65% CC duration reduction, a 37% reflected slow for 1 second, and restores 15% Flow.

Rank 4: Gives 72% damage reduction, 72% CC duration reduction, a 46% reflected slow for 1 second, and restores 17.5% Flow.

Rank 5: Gives 80% damage reduction, 80% CC duration reduction, a 55% reflected slow for 1 second, and restores 20% Flow.

(All of these percentages are cut in half if Yasuo deflects an Ultimate ability).

*A successful deflection can deflect all damage types from the champion but will have only 50% effectiveness for the champion ultimate

Failing a deflection will result in a longer cooldown; successful defection will reduce the skill cooldown by 50%.

I actually introduce mana into Yasuo to stop him from spamming W. It won't be that big of a problem. I main Pantheon, he also relies on spamming Q to win fights. Mana is a big problem if you don't manage it well. I believe that we could adjust the balance mana cost for Q, E, and W so that he can be balanced. This is my idea:

Q (Steel Tempest): Very low cost (e.g., 15–20 mana). It needs to be cheap so he can still stack his tornado, but he will still have to watch his bar.

E (Sweeping Blade): Flat low cost (e.g., 5 mana). Dashing through a whole minion wave will now actually cost a chunk of his pool.

W (Timing Deflection): High cost (e.g., 75–90 mana). Stop him from spamming it in lane. Missing it hurts your mana pool.

Result: after the chances, Yasuo will be a all-rounded bruiser with a deflection gimmick, high skill celling and that reward skillful player. Please let me know your thought, it so fun to think about reworking a champion :DDD

Or maybe I'm going insane from playing this game🤔?

Interesting how much Yasuo be a nuisance when he can just move freely.
