I just want to hear other ppls ideas for suiting him for bot lane before I go on about my idea. I think that hes the best non ranged champ for bot lane and he is better than mord for a lot of reasons.
PhantomGG2 votesthe whole point of the bot lane strat is for two purposes
1-you have two people defending drake, that is why we have two bot lane and not in top lane
2-A long range character who scales very well who does lots of damage is a very safe idea to invest in.
having long range makes you hard to kill for assuming if your team is protecting you properly, you will be doing safe, high dps
having only mellee carries on your team has a high risk of being poked out by teams who do have range, they also have a very bad siege, for it is much easier to kill the melle range mord who is hitting your tower, than the long range rocket jinx or sniper caitlyn
Anything can work, but a meta exists for a reason.
Most, effective, tactic, available
Nyaboron1 votesIf you want to take him botlane then take him bot lane. He shouldn't be balanced around a lane he isn't meant for, though. The weakness of yas bot is the other laners can just keep it next to their tower and force yasuo to miss a lot of farm or risk getting stuck by the support under tower. There are ways to make it work but he's forever going to be a cheese pick in the lane, because that's what he is.
ModWulf Helhammer1 votesTechnically, he was intended to be a replacement for a bot lane carry. That's why he has such a strong affinity for crit, and why he counters ranged opponents so well (Windwall to block AA, shield to deny AA poke based on range). It just turned out that he ended up working better mid
Woook3r1 votesi think he works better mid because the ranged harass is too much for him. I was trying to give him a way to deal with ranged auto harass more effectivly while not also making him broken in a solo lane.
DREADN0UGHT1 votesFrom what I read in the past, Yasuo was originally designed to be a Bot lane carry, kinda like Morde was. But just like Morde, that never really worked out well because of how deeply rooted the current meta is.
