PSA: CC

Chaos689·Jan 4, 2017·3 votes·422 views

Now I know we're all level 10 but it's time we realize something. Yasuo is not Overpowered. Like any other hypercarry, he can demolish you if he gets ahead or comes back in time. Unlike many hypercarries ( ) he is melee. Yasuo relies EXTREMELY heavily on staying mobile and not getting locked down, so before you go QQing about him on boards, look at your team comp. Do you have an Alistar? A Nautilus? ... No? WELL HERE'S A HINT: MAYBE YOU SHOULD.

So don't whine about assassins until you've tried my Targeted CC (patent pending) (Except for )

I agree with you in principle.

But when Yasuo builds item 3031 item 3046 item 3022 item 3072 item 3156 item 3047 and proceeds to be unkillable even when focused, there's an issue.

It doesn't matter if you CC him, he will live through the CC.

He doesn't sacrifice any damage for the tankyness, IE and PD give him 100% critical strike chance, and his constant crits are constantly proccing large amounts of life steal.

Yasuo is an issue, and frankly, has always been an issue. He needs something changed. I'm not saying nerf him outright; Yasuo should be building almost pure damage like any other Skirmisher. As it stands, it's like Tank Ekko - obnoxious and unfun to play against. If you do manage to kill him in a teamfight it's not, 'That was awesome, we totally outplayed him!' It's 'God dammit finally why did that take so much freaking effort and so many people.' He needs rebalancing, not straight nerfs, but something to force him to build damage items instead of bruiser items.

Well he sacrifices a bit of damage, but I do agree with you on the main points. Personally, I think the problem is with this build and not the champion. I think it's funner and more effective to build item 3046 item 3006 / item 3047 item 3031 ( item 3812 item 3072 item 3156 item 3139 ) and maybe a situational item. It isn't stupid and annoying like that tank build, and it allows you to do REAL damages while being unkillable if you know the champion. I know it's not quite as viable but screw it I can pull it off.

targeted hard CC counters everyone, it's hardly an argument

besides, if anything, yasuo can block projectile based CC

That being said, I don't care about yasuo

so i played yas because he looked fun, second game yas mid and i was against a level 6 yas who had a Vi jg so she would Q, I would get ulted and died a lot even under turret which resulted in me going 2/6 in lane, the second i got my 2nd item and boots ( item 3046 item 3031 item 3006 ) I took off, i was overextend to be met by Nautilus, a pretty fed Ezreal, and a Katarina with 5 kills, all but Nautilus had more farm than me as well

Easily I was able to 1v3 and I got a triple kill, a fucking 2/6 yasuo was able to 1v3 a 5/3 Kat, 8/3 Ezreal, and a 1/5/7 Nautilus, how the fuck is that balanced? I'm complaining and i'm the guy who won, I ended that game 15/12 and it's fucking disgusting how broken Yasuo is, the worst part is that i not only lived but i had over 1/4 of my hp left

Well I mean considering that you counter Kat fairly well, but Nuatilus and Nasus both counter you lategame, they must have been REALLY BAD. If Naut had hit you with his ult andnasus chained it to his whither then +Naut rooted you, trust me, you'd be WISHING you bought QSS.
