Why do you hate Yasuo so much ?

As a Gangplank main i never had a problem even when facing good Yasuo players, i just don't understand why a lot of you hate that champion so much? If someone masters a champion like Yasuo (or any other champ) they should get "rewarded" for putting time and effort into a certain champion...

If you are going to downwote this thread (which i know you probably will) write down the reason of why you hate Yasuo.

Gangplank simply does pretty well against him, that's why we won't mind him as much as others would

Out of all the champions in the game, Yasuo has perhaps the best kit for negating an opponents skill. He can dodge skillshots with a low cooldown dash, he can block most skillshots (and a lot of point-and-clicks) with wind wall, and if some damage does get through it's automatically blocked by his passive. I'm not going to argue balanced or not, but all of those denial mechanics in his kit, combined with good damage output, is what makes him as hated as he is.

You mean besides his obnoxiously aggressive gameplay pattern, hyperscaling and obscene popularity?

Shield that scales well with his E... Long range poke with Q+Q+Q... W blocks just about anything..almost.. Thought you can dodge his OP ult that brutally smashes your armor rating? think again sonnnnn Q+Q+Q+E+R+AA+Q your dead kid

He also has the most syndergy with other champs that I've ever really seen...Yas can proc his ult from Alistar Braum Chogath Diana Malphite Nautilus Taliyah Velkoz Ziggs Janna

His early game scaling is freaking disgusting. item 3046 item 3087=100% crit. item 3031 gets rid of his ult dmg debuff...

Trading with him is terrible as melee.

His late game is just ... yasuo

It's not yasuo, it's the people who main him.

Because I main vel'koz - a champ yasuo is designed to counter. It is not fun watching 3 of your 4 spells blocked by a single ability.

100% crit in 3k.

Because the champion is very forgiving and overloaded.

He's manaless, generates a free shield by moving, steroid passive that's probably one of the strongest in the game, mobile, an ability that blocks every projectile including ults, and his numbers are just a mess.

He's abused items and masteries to the point he got them nerf'd for everybody else, not to mention that despite being so game-breakingly overloaded Riot gives him a pass and leaves him untouched even when he's clearly disgustingly safe and strong.

Not only is he a disgusting champion but his players are by far some of the most toxic shitters in game.

Shit, just recently he had several bugs that made him deal more damage than intended and it took Riot ages to get around giving it a bandaid fix despite the community begging riot to fix that shit.

But you know what? all the reasons I stated aside; the reason I truly despise Yasuo is because Riot clearly favors him just like with other "play maker, lone wolf, insane damage carry" type champions.

He falls on the same category as Lee sin, Riven, Zed, Rengar. Do you know what those champions all have in common? they're flashy, popular with the kids, and Riot makes money out of them by constantly pumping out skins for them and keeping them viable even in a meta that's supposed to make them weaker.

All those champions can shit the bed the entire game and still somehow stay relevant late game, yet for some reason they're never toned down or truly nerf'd because Riot knows that if they give these champions an actual weakness to play against then their playerbase would plummet which would just result in less sales for Riot.

Did that answer your question?

People saw arkadata once and got wet. I don't hate the champ and he has somewhat decent mechanics that blind players keep raging about lol. And before someone says he uses no resource bar, I'm pretty sure with the amount of spells he casts, he would go oom before lvl 3.

because Yas can literally be played by anyone and counter 50% or more of all the champs going against him

Yasuo covers more ground than the average melee. People get mad.

You should bring up Lee Sin in your next thread. :^)

I never play Yasuo, i love everything about the champion except when his shield passive comeback mid duels, and the E Q Ult combo.

Clutch Thompson10/28/2016, 4:04:45 PM1 votes

I dont hate him either Mordekaiser

But the person below that explained how good he is at negating your efforts to play against him was spot on.

My friend that I Q with tried to play him and I swear yasuo was picked/banned so much in dynamic normals he like never got to play yasuo lol
