The Yasuo Meta

Dope Solo·Jun 26, 2018·4 votes·1,126 views

"When we do see Yasuo, most of the time it's in mid lane. He's being used as a counter to all sorts of meta mids from the supportive Lulu to the bruising Irelia. He pops up every now and again in every region but is only really getting a lot of priority in the LCK, where he is picked or banned in 38 percent of games and sports a shiny 80 percent win rate."

I see him top a lot and only occasionally mid. When i see him however, i usually feed, cause god damnit he needs some proper nerfs and counters.

Even a monkey would understand after so many times that if Yasuo is not garbage tear he absolutely breaks the gameplay and has no counterplay, besides the fact that he is the most unfun piece of shit to ever be released. Better get that sweet skin money from 10 year olds who play him.

I'd rather fight Yasuo over new irelia. At least yasuo is squishy. She cripples marksmen before one shotting them. You can still auto attack yasuo when his wall is up. And your supports shields actually matter.

you bronze my guy? yasuo is a master swordsman, he is made to outplay most champs (except kha who has free damage in 1v1 situations) and he isnt busted. just becuase a champ has a winrate and a decent kit doesnt mean EVERY PLAYER IS GOOD AT HIM. me being a yasuo player myself, i lose to some wierd shit (not often) but still he is easily beatable. if your lacking in the mechanics department and losing to him thats on you. theirs nothign wrong with yasuo.

Stopped reading at 'you bronze'. The data has nothing to do with my personal rank.

The crit nerfs hurt him too, not just the marksmen

Apparently, the effect wasn't significant enough to dent his winrate. Or should we just be aiming for 85-90% and pretend like it isn't broken?
