Yasuo is "Fair"

Syrile·2/22/2019, 12:08:42 AM·59 votes·13,045 views

So.. here goes the downvoting from Yasuo mains... But at this point, he has a 72.03% Ban Rate at above Platinum and an 18.31% Pick Rate. So, this one champion of over 140, influences over 90% of all games of League? And somehow, this is okay. But instead we need to nerf almost all tactical-based champions into the ground instead of a champion that is almost universally banned/picked. Oh, did I mention he is over 51% win rate in three lanes? Listed on LolAlytics as the top champion in the game and challenger tier in three roles. And this is post-nerf? Fair and balanced.

Statistically, he's not OP. Of course, statistics means absolutely nothing when you're in the game and have to deal with his overblown kit. People ban him because he's an irritating chore to play against. Of course, Riot doesn't really care about that because they've become so disillusioned with the idea of FUN, that they'd rather pour over data and statistics, instead of asking how it feels to actually PLAY against him. They're not developers anymore, they're accountants.

Keep giving me downvotes yasuo mains. It doesn't come across as embarrassingly desperate or anything.

Snowballing is the problem, and yasuo happens to benefit 100% better from it than most other champions.

Yeah Yasuo needs a gutting tbh.

give his wind wall a health bar or make it last for shorter periods of time and then he would be 80% more tolerable.Also,Remove his double crit passive and give him compensation buffs to his shield or other areas in his kit.

Im a yasuo main, i think he needs a cdr nerf, also i think they should keep his late game damage. Because he was the most trash champion last season, and now he's good again with the ie reverts. Not saying hes the best, hes just playable again.

Give windwall durability or make it so other wind based spells can end it early like janna's Q and R or galio's Q.

You're 100% right: it's not fair by any means, as other champs by the same idiot, pos designer, with the aggravating that, quite probably, it's the most "purchased" champ overall, and cheater favorite. These two aspects alone are a goldmine for rito, who have an endless, evergreen $$$ purse from this piece of garbage that can bully everything with its piece of shit dynamics, and minion dashing bullshit. You can see how rito considers it by reading between the lines, for example with the last "nerf" I remember about: yASSuo needed 2 steel tempests to trigger whirlwind, but then they became 3... while drastically increasing the damaging part of it, giving the skill a 25%+ increase in DPS.

And still rito claimed it was a nerf.

It's an unbalanced, annoying and scripted piece of garbage from a well known designer which favors those traits (darius, zoe and other annoying trash) but since it's a fucking golden egg goose, it'll NEVER be nerfed, so just keep banning it and fuck them.

It’s upsetting because of how easy a fix it would be. Just don’t let him benefit from the infinity edge bonus damage. It’s so simple. Make him actually have to give something up for his 2000 gold of free stats.

I played Yasuo, I felt like It was a boring ass champion.

I feel his windwall is just way too strong for a normal ability especially with the MASSIVE safety window it gives you, its so unbelievably frustrating to play against especially for champions that have skillshots that lead into their combos. I mean the thing can block an entire talon ult easily.

Yasuo takes mechanics and skill to use, but I gotta agree with you. Once he gets BS buffs out of nowhere, even a fuckin' Silver can go godlike with him.

I'm still waiting for the day when Riot bans certain champions in certain roles in draft mode. I"m tired of seeing "I"m a ADC Yasuo", "Twitch jungle works if you make it to late game", "Lux is a support, not mid".

The main problem with yasuo is that hes an early game monster, a mid game monster, and a late game monster. Theres really no point in the game where yasuo doesnt exceed in. Even when he goes 1/4 laning phase once he gets his first item he can pretty much contest anyone, maybe not one shot that person but he can go even when hes behind. Im a yasuo main and i agree that something needs to change cause the champion is just too good right now.

A 72% ban rate doesn't include the games that get dodged. Zed Yasuo . Shitgame, next next. Good luck playing them and fk this dev team.

i feel like his biggest imbalance is how synergestic he is with other champions, moreso than any other champion. Pretty much anyone with a knockup, kicks Yasuo 2 tiers past Godtier. Without his ult synergizing off other players knockups I feel like hed just be another run of the mill Top tier champion.
