Yasuo is and always will be infuriating to play against.

Its been over 3 years and nothing has been done about his toxic kit. At least was reworked slightly. When is something going to be done?

never had an issue with yasuo

Its not about Yasuo being OP. He's not. He is just frustrating to play against. His "one item spike" makes him really toxic. It doesn't matter if you fck up his lane as a Jungler and make him 0/2, hi will eventually catch up with his 2/0 opponent and outscale him after a single PD. His design is simply awkward. His Wind Wall can block not only a skillshots but gamechanging long CD ultimates. I just dont ljke to see that champion in my games, enemy team, or mine. Game is just better without him.

He is annoying with his low counterplay damage and zoning in lane vs some champs, but he is still a (semi-) squishy melee so he often doesnt do much later.

The champs he mentioned are a lot more frustrating tbh.

low counterplay damage? item 3047 now nearly 10% of all damage from yasuo is now lowered

zoning vs some champions? who melees? you mean like ** every other mage can do**

semi squishy melee? ( checks base stats and growths )

not saying he is perfect, but honestly all it is the "blitz" feel players get when yasuo's suddenly go super aggro and wins with power spikes or they dont respect the 2 item spike or something similar. it a lack of knowledge and the fact yasuo breaks some rules of leauge ( per example you minion wave normally is a safe place to fight, apply the logic to yasuo and suddenly he is able to " outplay you " )

ironically though, when akali does the same thing people forget about how she was queen of mid lane and wont apply the game logic

That reduces his damage, it doesnt dodge his auto attacks or point blank qs.

He zones some ranged champs pretty hard whenever theres minions around. Basically have to hug tower vs him sometimes.

his Q is very dodgeable until late game his tornado is dodgeable, and even E+Q is dodgeable if you run into him

that's better than: adcs trynd yi jax and almost any rightclicking champions

PS: that yasuo build is beyond garbage

Diamond2KappaJan 28, 20181 votes

Thats why i said low counterplay, the ones you listed are "no counterplay" hehe

TakazakiJan 29, 20181 votes

you say low counter play

anyone who mains yasuo and high elo ( or anyone who bothers to learn the match up ) mid laner say bullshit

Not only is PD, FM, and a lifesteal item not garbage, it's nearly standard.

That said, the best second item for Yasuo is IE in nearly any situation, so the lifesteal item and frozen mallet should be bumped back after it.

he is very fun to play against to me

look i never played yasuo

dude is squishy as fuck and goes in melee range to fight, i just burst him down and basta

azir has no counterplay at all, even if you close the gap he has shurima shuffle and ult, he deals an insane amount of damage, that is undodgeable

malzahar doesn't need comments and ryze LUL, bully you in lane with tear+cata while scaling in late game

TakazakiJan 28, 20181 votes

have you tried not burning lond CD's while WW is up, yasuo player use windwall under 3 reasons

they see that long animation cooldown go off, seriously bruam nami jinx draven ezreal. to a yasuo shit take ages to fire off and is easily block
when they are dueling up close with a marksmen
when they go into fight to prevent damage after the engage

none of these conditions inhibit your ability to fight him just wait him out he will blow it on an auto or a Q or soemthing then jump on him. yasuo without his defensive options is garbage

Easy fix, give Yasuo mana, watch him drop off the face of the planet. Suddenly he'd actually have to land his skills more than "occasionally" GASP!

With the fizz rework not fixing any of his problems

Yaśuo MainJan 28, 20182 votes

I don't remember being unfun to play against was actually something to be reworked over. As far as I know, it's always gameplay related. Fizz rework was not only enforced by annoying gameplay (troll pole, and not to mention there were more threads crying about him than now by far) but also because he was actually a really stupid champion. Yasuo doesn't have a troll pole, and is for sure not in a worse spot than Fizz (his winrate is atleast 1-2% lower). Not to mention that he has no utterly dumb gameplay that backed up the "annoying" fact (as far as I know, troll pole isn't as stupid as wind wall and a small range dash that can only dash to enemies in terms of annoying factors). There will be nothing done about his kit because it's not as toxic as people say, it's for sure not infuriating (unless you main marksman), and it's definitely not as bad as everyone says it is. Why don't we do something about Diana, anyway? Or Akali? Why not Heimer since he is an embodiment of fuck melee? Those are considerably worse as long as they are in a condition as good as Yasuo's would be. Maybe I'm being biased right now, but my key statement here is that unfun gameplay doesn't call for a rework unless the kit is fairly outdated, unbelievably unfair (not true for yasuo as he has very clear weaknesses, and is not universally unfair) and makes him stupid to balance. An example for a kit that is stupid to balance is Zoe, as she is forced to either do no damage or do unbelievable damage.

I 1v1'd one last night as Janna there may have been laughter spammed in all chat from both teams

RatpieJan 28, 20181 votes

I would add not just annoying to play against, but also play with. Yasuos feed just as much as they get fed. Half the time I want to ban them just so I do not get one on my team. It is such a volatile champ. Not speaking for all, I have played some very nice Yasuo mains, but for some reason a lot of toxic players are attracted to Yasuo.

When you can't put out an intellectual content worth reading, all you need do is cry a Yasuo nerf tears to farm upvotes. Jeez, you trolls are getting more irritating by the day. Take a break!

SalsonJan 28, 20181 votes

Either your name is misleading or you play Diana. Like why the hell would you complain about Yasuo.

Moonfall SaberJan 28, 20181 votes

It has nothing to do with who I play. I can 1v1 Yasuo with Diana all day. But when a Malphite ults and I die to an unskilled 0/10 yasuo it feels horrible. Outplayed? More like "should have banned Yasuo".
