Why Yasuo Nightbringer is the only Skin that changes how the Champion works!

Some skins are considered OP since they make abilities harder to see, but Yasuo Nightbringer actually changes how Yasuo works!

I already died for this interaction playing yasuo when rumble jungle was meta

[DiegoHernandez-vviv]

There is a riven skin that changes her direction when she backs/emotes, so she can Q in a diferent direction instantly if done correctly.

[kklc]

If you watch frame by frame you can see that both normal and nightbringer received the same number of damage ticks so that means nightbringer yasuo is actually pay to win

[kolo]

There is something about True Damage Ekko being better, I can feel it.

[teekien]

The dev that removed the trash codes when developing for nightbringer yasuo: lol
Notice how normal yasuo animation slashes multiple times and the direction changes, but nightbringer is just a single slash animation.

[pere]

Same thing with corki's E I'm guessing

[johnnybedir]

But it only hits to yasuo's direction this is a nerf on 1v1 but a buff in teamfights

[filipheist]

but at default he always turns the enemy south? does the enemy starting direction change the final direction?
this is REALLY impactful for cass/shaco teammates, its like when you play with a teammate Ahri you always know the direction the enemy will face upon her landing charm, thus ensuring a stun from cass or crit from shaco

[mohamedabusamra]

I like to use this skin for Yasuo because everything about it feels smooth to play; even the Q animation is a bit faster and smoothest to me than other skins of him.

[iyrccafle]

turns out 'unlucky' skins are real. 😐

[thepowerlies]

I thought skins only changed the visuals on client side. This means some of the skins might literally be pay2win

[nicoabcd]

so if you have a shaco jg, you should use that skin, because shaco deals more damage when he is behind an enemy.

[Daroga]

No wonder that Yas skin feels so much more brutal.

[dimek]

Fun fact default Yasuo skin activates bork with his Ultimate. Nightbringer Yasuo doesn't activate bork with his Ultimate because it only strikes 2 times

[ok-iypw]

Funny thing old Dragonknight Mordekaiser used to have the dragon pet locked to him.
Which it was never supposed to be. So the Dragon actually teleported to Mordekaiser if he got out of leash range which didnt happen on any other skin.

[joaopeixoto]

Now we wait until riot fixes this (they won't)
If kindred was where yasuo ulted, would she die?
And i still prefer the blossom one. It's so calming and relaxing

[reggaemarley]

Even though this is an incredible minor change, the fact that this functionality difference does exist between what should be purely cosmetic skins is sus af and opens the door to a bunch of other potential minor functionality differences between other skins that could make these things actually P2W or P2L.

[khaelkugler]

Riot's true PTW nature has been exposed

[itsmeeEnder]

even tower won't hit you until he smash down the enemy, unlike other skin that still has classic base. the first slash will trigger the tower until the end

[ZenfulHaze]

0:50 pay attention to Yasuo's location exactly as he Ults, there's a "test cube" there. wut o.O
