Yes. A meaty Mad Max style V8 in fact. Here's hoping I can jump into battle with a giggle and the roar of a gunning engine.

Also people seem to be unhappy with the Feral Warwick skin as is. Looks like people want the naked, unadorned werewolf look the skin used to have, and I have to say I agree.

a HP/level nerf is what knocked Jax out of competitive play from what I recall, it's a touchy stat. I'm guessing that she'll land in the awkward 'low solo queue winrate but still considered OP by top players' zone after this though.

they could nerf cotc and it would still be twice as good as any other talent in the game

There is some huge nerfs right now on PBE to it but will have to see on live how smaller the shield is. I just don't think it is a good mastery. The interaction of getting more shield if your surrounded by more enemies is stupid. It makes 1v3 1v4ing the backline as champs like Poppy/Maokai viable. Like you should be able to zone off backlines but Poppy just freakin holds 3-4 people on her own especially if she lands her on any key target.

They're going to interpret everyone bitching about Yasuo as proof that Xin needs a rework because no one cares about him, and then instead of simple point-and-click abilities he is going to have his ult become a Viktor laser where you have to draw a semi-circle with your cursor to disengage and his 3-hit mechanic will become a 3-taps Riven mechanic, and this is all your fault.

Mine was for Rumble, Syndra, Rek'Sai, and Malphite.

I think they just periodically send out surveys on the whole champ pool but spread them out across the playerbase to make it manageable.

It is the worst play you can make because you stay in your goddamn lane rear end in a top hat stop killing my overextended ADC who won't watch the map.

I don't think Yasuo is even that strong after they nerfed his tank build and fixed the ult bug. No idea why his ban rate is so high when so many of the top laners that can poo poo on him so hard are strong atm.

I ban Yasuo because without fail if someone on my team is collapsing in upon themselves and being a shithead it's a Yasuo.

Because the enemy yasuo will be a fed monster that kills full armor tanks in under 10 seconds without losing life from his lifesteal that is impossible to hit as he dashes constantly and never misses Q, where as your teammate yasuo will dash into tower range and never hit R when someone else uses a knockup and more then likely die twice before the jungler finishes his second buff.

the fact that he's out-trading bruisers in lane at all is an issue since those should be bad matchups. his base damage is too high for a champ with ad carry scaling. the current pbe nerf is good.

wrt CotC changes: its worse in solo situations but almost always better in teamfights. It loses 1 second of duration which basically means you'll just have to wait 3 seconds for the shield to go away before doing any damage to him because lol if you think you're getting through an 800 hp shield in 3 seconds

You lost me here man. My team never picks Yasuo when the team comp has set up for him. They first pick instalock him and then bitch when the rest of your team doesn't build a Malphite/Gragas/Kallista/Alistar comp built entirely to make him look good.

There's so much OP poo poo right now (Hecarim, Camille, Vi, Shyvana, Rengar, etc) that I don't really think you can justify a Yasuo ban.

He's still an annoying champion but nowhere near those top picks.

He doesn't outtrade bruisers though, he gets mangled in those matchups. He can really only pick on tanks and some mages.

In my experience, though, you can leave some of those unbanned and the chances that they'll get picked are much lower than the chances that an open Yasuo won't get picked.

As with any P/B consideration, I'm sure it depends on play level. I play around mid-silver, so.

The other thing is that there's so much stuff that's op right now just in top/jg that you can't ban it all out unless both teams use all of their bans on it. Like your team can ban Camille/shyv/Vi, which is great and all, but if the enemy team bans Hec/Rengar/Ziggs they first pick Poppy and you don't have an equally stupid shithead to pick top now cause you banned them out.

idk i'm not very good but I've played a lot of Irelia and the Irelia vs Yasuo matchup used to be a complete joke and now it feels like it's actually possible to lose.

i would still never ban Yasuo since 4 out of 5 people who play him don't actually know how to control the champion once they get out of laning.

Yasuo is a champion like RIven in that he's got layers of mechanics that many other champions just don't have.

I miss the simpler days of League of Legends when you just pointed your cursor and tapped your ability to make it happen instead of all these abilities that do multiple things.

I have consistently not liked these more complicated champions, whether playing them, on my team, or on the enemy team.
