[2021] The fact that Riot left Yone and Yasuo's broken interactions with lethal tempo is infuriating!

AFAIK Kraken Slayer's interaction here is intentional: it's meant to be functionally on-hit for melee champions and on-attack for ranged as a melee/ranged balancing lever.

Imagine building LDR on Yasuo, though. Like I thought Yasuo players weren't very smart (trust me, I am one) but that's a whole new level of just giving up on rational thinking.

FWIW Zed ultimate is also the "same amount" of true damage.

Both abilities only pass through resistances once. In Zed's case, I believe it stores all the damage pre-mitigation, then passes it through armor for the pop, and for Yone's case it passes it though post-mitigation, and so it's already gone through armor/mr for the pop.

TBH just to make players feel better about it, all abilities should probably work Zed's way because of posts like this. I'm legit not flaming you. It's just not really that intuitive. But they're functionally identical except for generating posts like this.

FWIW the winrate difference for LT vs. Conqueror on Yasuo mid is 0.2%. For Yone mid it's a small but more meaningful 0.9%. Though in both cases, Fleet Footwork is +/- 0.1%, so we're pretty much just within variance and it's not like LT is completely warping these champions' power levels.

That said, the numbers shift more toward LT for top lane where auto attack trades are much freer but that's also the less popular role for both champions.

Idk that’s be up to the designers ultimately. I know they don’t like choices being choked out but they’re also ok with players finding new tools and feeling excited to use them.

For reference, Hail of Blades kinda breaks the expectations around Q cooldowns since it’s instantaneous. 6stacking LT still takes 5+ seconds of combat and only your 3rd or 4th Q really benefits from the CD change that much.

Personally that feels palatable on a combat design perspective. At that point it’s just about winrate and choice comparison.

Yeah because unlike what you feel it actually measures who wins the game. How dare you let any evidence contradict your very scientific intuition.
