Id be fine if they just removed him altogether. Yasuo is one of those champs that makes the game worse. Why give him insane mobility? Why give him DOUBLE crit? Why give him an ult that ignores your armor? Why allow him to block projectiles to overload him even further? Smh how people can say hes hard to play at all.

That's especially funny coming from someone with the assassin summoner icon.

yasuo isn't even an assassin anymore

BisaknospAug 28, 20161 votes

he kills an adc faster than someone like zed

ToxycBananaAug 28, 20161 votes

But his kit isn't even a get-in-get-out assassin style kit. He is a skirmisher who, when someone is knocked up, can use his ult to quickly kill a target. But that doesn't make him an assassin.

BisaknospAug 28, 20161 votes

he can stay in long enough thanks to his windwall and his stupid shield also he does crazy amounts of damage so he can easily lifesteal most of his hp back

ToxycBananaAug 29, 20161 votes

But that's not what an assassin does. An assassin is squishy and can get in and out of a fight at their own leisure unless they're cc'd. Yasuo is a skirmisher because while he does a lot of damage and has mobility, it is reliant entirely on the enemy team if he's allowed to fight them or not.

He was hard to play in the mid lane low elo before bruiser became a thing

Low elo Yasuo hard gameplay: Remembering if you are going to all in at level 1 FB or feed them because that champion can't be cheesed by Yasuo.

No he isn't because even if he suck early game, the moment he buys to crit items he will rekt you. Muh skill

he can't kill you if every assassin bursts him down

AninLegions777Aug 28, 20162 votes

He is mate. Annie, Kata and Akali fuck him up. Too much burst for his crit to amount to anything. Only Top Yas is a problem and he still has many counters.

RedagaAug 29, 20161 votes

and thats why tank build yasuo is the new meta and cancer

AninLegions777Aug 29, 20161 votes

Like I mentioned in the last sentence, he still has counters.

Fieryfury3Aug 28, 20161 votes

A wise man once said, what is crit without attack damage. It isn't the crit that makes him strong. I've built damage before crit and it is still just as strong, just with less attack speed so it doesn't feel as fluid. It's also funny because the OP yasuo bruiser doesn't build any crit.

I was LupxelAug 28, 20161 votes

Something something infinity edge/trinity/phaton dancer into bruiser items

Fieryfury3Aug 28, 20161 votes

I don't think the op build has infinity edge. If you're ahead why not build it but his crit passive isn't what makes him broken. It's what makes him capable of being in the middle of a teamfight and bursting people down. With this new bruiser build he can do the same thing without being in danger of getting blown up, which is what should happen to him when he gets I the middle of a team. He is basically an adc with more damage and safety built in because he has to be In the middle of a teamfight to do anything other than toss tornados around every few seconds

He is very squishy and has nothing to survive with outside of 1v1s. Sure his windwall and E may help but they all require certain conditions to be placed. Without minions or projectiles, he won't get away. It's all about timing really.

I was LupxelAug 28, 20163 votes

Oh, poor Yasuo. What about Velkoz, Brand, Annie?

You mean the ap ranged mages that cc and delete you without giving a fuck?

I was LupxelAug 28, 20162 votes

Funny comment cause is not like Yasuo has also ranged CC at all. To bad he also has mobility and can negate all this champions CC for pressing W and not giving a fuck. Right?

CeexSettAug 28, 20161 votes

Windwall will not block Annie's stun. Even if the Q is blocked she keeps to stun.

TFBaamAug 29, 20161 votes

brand has pillar and velkoz spells except for q arent blocked by wall

Dextix LTAug 29, 20161 votes

Show how much you know, half of brands kit gets blocked by yasuos wall, and every skill that vel'koz has is blocked by the windwall besides his ultimate.

TFBaamAug 29, 20161 votes

i said brand has pillar. i was wrong about the velkoz stuff didnt realize E shot out something to the targetted spot

rtbf225618241Aug 28, 20161 votes

AP ranged mages that can all burst you in less than a second.

Yeah, poor mages.

Yasuo has to deal consistent/sustained damage for at least 2.5 - 4 seconds, depending on the enemy. Tanks take even longer.

You don't have that long in teamfights unless you ult and displace the enemy.

Yes, he is strong but he is definetly not unbeatable.

I was LupxelAug 28, 20164 votes

"but they all require certain conditions to be placed" - Thanks for replying your own post.

rtbf225618241Aug 28, 20161 votes

What conditions? The mages' only condition is to attack before the enemy does and not get killed right after doing so.

Yasuo can't kill anyone if he engages at the wrong time.

Mages just have to hit the first cc ability they have and chain together the rest of their kits and it's a guranteed kill in late-game. Yasuo has no 1-shot abilities, nor can he chain anything together because he only has his basics and Q.

I was LupxelAug 28, 20164 votes

First: you should put the "Edit" mark on your previous answer; Second: Their only condition is to attack first than the enemy? What does that even mean? If they are so easy to pull out then why you see more Yasuo alone than all those mages together in your games?

Yasuo, even if he gets behind in lanning phase, where he actually shines (no cd, no mana, mobility, poke), he will imediatly become a threat as soon as he gets his first Crit. item. "Mages just have to hit his first cc ability and chain together the rest of their kits" - funny cause thats the defination of Yasuo ult (that isn't even hard to pull, and can ALSO be casted at range), except that he doesn't have to chain the rest of his kit, only his Q, W and E are for aditional BM. Too bad he just needs to items to get 100% crit, and can get lifesteal/tank and dive fights with no problem. Too bad he only has, wait- he only needs his Q and basics. If he was hard he wouldn't have that high pick rate: unlike the mages that can one-ahot you, right?

rtbf225618241Aug 29, 20161 votes

Your broken english doesn't clarify what you mean by the first point.

Yasuo's ultimate doesn't do any damage compared to his basic attacks and Q. You can also suppress him while he is in the middle of his ultimate or put a silence on him so he wouldn't get away and collapse on him. The only thing protecting him there is his passive.

As to one-shotting, i was mostly talking about when the mage is strong enough or it's late game. And this isn't Pre-Season 5 where games lasted 25 minutes on average.

Well, put on your dunce cap, and go sit in the corner... you just ran into the street screaming about how youre a noob.

Just because he doesnt have most of his combo done post CC lockdown, doesnt mean he doesnt "chain anything together." Guess what? Lux only has Q, E, and aa, oh yeah you left out Yas E btw.

All these "Oh boo hoo, its so much harder than it looks to play this overloaded champ, if only you understood what it means to have a 56% win rate then you would understand how this champ is really underpowered in the scope of things" make me laugh.

Fieryfury3Aug 28, 20161 votes

if only you all understood that yasuo is actually hard to play however his bruiser build is op. lLay him midlane, I can't wait to watch you feed.

LimrickAug 28, 20161 votes

Yasuo has a super low skill floor, but a massive ceiling. He's easy to pick up, but isn't actually super strong until he's practiced. Yasuo is not hard to play, but he is hard to play at a decent efficiency.

Fieryfury3Aug 28, 20161 votes

Yes technically he isn't hard to "play" in general, but to play efficiently, as you said, and successfully is quite difficult. I should have added more but with most people on the boards they won't read all of what you say anyway, especially if it has any logic involved. He is my main yet I still make small mistakes that I shouldn't which in essence the reason he is hard to master because of how many things you can do wrong on him that will get you killed. Plus when you're behind you can't just build two crit items and all of a sudden be a God like most people think.

You put "hard to play" and "op" in the same sentence, tell some more jokes clown.

Context? How, theyre from the SAME 18 WORD SENTENCE!? On top of that, I took 4 words (well 3 and an abbreviation).

You want me to break this down, confront you with your delusions?

A sentence about how Yasuo is "actually hard to play" but with a certain build is "op"... so we have 18 words, and me supposedly missing the context of your statement.

"if only you all understood"

Thats an address to the audience at large, but nothing to do with the substance of the sentence, thats 5 words down.

"that yasuo is actually hard to play"

That is a statement of an opinion, and is the substance of the first part of a compound sentence. 7 words for a total of 12 so far.

"however"

This is the joining of the two parts of the compound sentence, 1 word, 13 down.

"his bruiser build"

An identification of an item set and/or build order that Yas will have in his slots, up to 16 total words.

"is op."

Here you say its op, an item build for Yasuo, is op, and its followed with a period and thats 18 of 18 words.

So the subject of the sentence is Yasuo, who is described as "hard to play," and with a popular build is "op." Sounds like I got the context perfect. What else were you saying?

Please refute my logic with something that will make sense, otherwise honk your fucking big red nose clown.

Fieryfury3Aug 29, 20161 votes

You missed the context because of how you interpreted the word HOWEVER. I said he is hard to play under normal conditions, HOWEVER, in a particular circumstance he is op. Using however in my sentence is a way of contradicting the first half within a set of limits I specified a.k.a his bruiser build. So in another form just to clarify. Yasuo is hard to play when built how he is meant to be. His bruiser build takes away his weaknesses, while also keeping his strengths. Therefore, this makes him op only in that specific situation.

Whats more annoying is i've had games where I made sure to shut down Yasuo. I made sure he didnt do shit. I had a game where I made a Yasuo go 0/7, It didn't matter in the end because he got farm and started doing damage the likes of a Fed player would do. WHY RITO?!

i have more of an issue with him being able to go from inner mid turret all the way out to near mid lane to catch varus and insta kill him. if he has damage fine fuk it but when he can go 1/3 of the map in 2 seconds to all in you and you have no recourse then that is kinda my issue. ah but people are gonna say varus was out of position right? lol vs that kind of gap close there is no safe position besides hiding in your spawn fountain.

DunkinNoobsAug 28, 20164 votes

You could not stand in the middle of the lane alone with no tower. Zed with a ghostblade could have easily done the same thing.
