Picked this up from a chest last month and honestly wasn't expecting much since I'm usually running High Noon or True Damage. After about 50 games though, Genesis Nightbringer Yasuo might be my new go to for ranked. The demon aesthetic is insane but what really sold me was how smooth the Q feels compared to other Yasuo skins. That tornado animation is probably the cleanest in his entire collection, and I swear the hitbox feels more responsive when you're trying to land those max range knockups.
The E dash through minions feels way less clunky than base skin, especially when you're trying to stack it quickly for a dive. And his ult? Pure eye candy without being distracting. I remember this one dragon fight where I landed a 4 man ult and the whole animation with the dark energy swirling around just made the play feel even more satisfying. My team was going crazy in chat. The W windwall is easier to track too since it has this purple glow that makes it super clear where the edge is, which helps both you and your teammates position better.
Compared to True Damage which I mained for like 200 games, Genesis Nightbringer wins on clarity alone. True Damage looks sick but sometimes the effects blend together when things get hectic. This skin keeps everything distinct while still looking premium. Is Genesis Nightbringer Yasuo worth it though? For 1820 RP it's a bit steep, but if you're serious about Yasuo it's basically pay to win with how clean those animations are. The recall alone where he transforms is worth showing off after you pop off in lane. Definitely grab it if you see it on sale.
