Yasuo ruined the game for me. I'm done until something is fixed.

I've been playing video games all my life and I've never seen anything this ridiculously unbalanced. I can shutdown a Yasuo as a jungler or a laner and he still comes back and gets pentakill after pentakil. He has a shield that blocks anything (don't tell me it's hard to get, all he has to do is move around and he has an E that literally lets him do that infinite times). He has THE most OP Q ability I have literally ever seen. It crits like OMG. It swirls and does AoE and knocks you up. It also sends a whirlwind that knocks you up and does damage in a line. In one ability. He has a windwall, which literally negates ANYTHING that touches it, so you have to move around it to do anything if you are ranged, which gets you in range of him. And he has an R which basically has no cooldown. Now. More specifically to League, Riven used to be the OP OP. I've seen her box do immense damage, but her abilities always had SOME window of a cooldown. This Yasuo literally has 0 cooldown on 2( E & R ), almost 3 (Q) of his abilities. I honestly have no idea what Riot was thinking when they made this champion, but I'm over it. It's every single game I see him on both teams, and it's like it's Yasuo and friends VS Yasuo and friends. Every other champ is just filler for the Yasuo.

Just to get it out of the way... You guys don't care if I leave so here's all of you saying "Bye" "Git gud" "Just ban him" "Counterpick" etc. Thanks for nothing.

With the recent addition of 10 bans you now have the power to delete him from every single one of your games. Why quit now?

thats what I'm saying. XD But this guy must be playing normies judging by yasuo on both teams. lol. I don't know why he's getting worked up at all at that point.

Because the resolution to :"Fix this champion" shouldn't be: "Ban him."

I feel, and I hate yasuo just as much as you do. But there's a reason no one plays him in LCS, while Riven, Fiora, Jax and friends are, and Zac is constantly banned in high elo. So I'm not complaining because I'll take it from the pros any day.

Riven gets shit on when people play her in professional play. She doesn't work in highly organized scenarios.

Foxynth1 votes

That I can see, but it doesn't explain the relative absence of Yasuo in high profile games. Unless there's some kind of secret agreement that no one professional shall play Yasuo that I don't know about.

He gets shit on for the same reasons as Riven.

They're both very bad in games where two teams are in effective communication against eachother.

Riot should be catering to the fun of the majority of players. LCS is meant to be what happens when people get good and play in a coordinated way.

Well think about it like this: Do you want to make changes on your game through beta testers who know very little about the game and it's runs or beta testers who know the game inside out, backwards, forwards, upside down with their eyes closed? They even said it themselves in the guide to this forum-- Most of their changes come from performance by high elo players. BECAUSE, high elo players usually show the most consistent, and well presented data on champions because they are the only ones capable of actually playing the champion at its maximum efficiency.

Good point.

Thank you, thank you. :)

You play games to have fun and something in the game is making it really unfun. Yet you're wondering why he is getting worked up about it?

It's like loving to play basketball but the only court you got has no net for some reason. I'd be worked up as well.

Please read my response to the other person above to understand my logic.

BrotherinChrist1 votes

First of all, it's pathetic that the only response that this is getting is: "In order to play this game fairly, you must ban a champion from it." But just ignoring that ridiculous aspect, I'm leveling my account and not at the level where there are bans in my game. I might muscle through this grind of hell to get there and see if people listen when I say to ban him, but the fact remains the same that Yasuo ruins the game.

This is useless in normal games.

Perfectly useful in Normal Draft.

Just don't play Blind Pick.

Yas isnt even strong. I get he is annoying but he is relatively balanced. He has around a 50% winrate at all levels by his mains. he has some clear cut weaknesses that I as a silver scrub can abuse.....

I dont even know why i am wasting my time explaining this. Just ban him.

I know I'm not suppose to knock OP's, but...

I've been playing video games all my life

I've probably played video games longer than you've been alive...

You wrote this like you're high.

Why rant? This is a discussion board with the idea of discussion stuff. You don't want to listen to anything, so I'm going with what I've got.

Foxynth1 votes

I like you.

To everyone commenting "yas is easy to stomp":

PLEASE TELL ME HOW. I constantly hear higher ELO players saying "yasuo is easy to deal with in lane, not an issue" but they never say how to do so. I would obviously like to KNOW so I can do something against him.

And no, standing away from minions does not work either.

LoLN0081 votes

idk but I try to pick people who can take really quick trades without much chance to retaliate, like gragas I use my w and EQ and just walk out while hes slowed Galio can do this too also the people like velkoz or orianna who can smack him from a screen away works

GreatWhiteNorth1 votes

Some people replying to this post need to engage in minimal critical thinking: OP clearly said that yasuo is on both teams. That implies normals where there are no bans.

Daddy Braum1 votes

I play tanks a fair amount and have almost never had a problem with a enemy yasuo as long as you can cc him for longer than 2 seconds he gets deleted and you move on The only people that have a problem with him are the ones that dont care enough to think "what can I do differently next time?" Instead they go "X champ killed me 3 times this game so X champ is broken"

Riot doesn't care about balancing untill people (kids) pays for skins and enjoy playing broken champs : D Take a look at the matchmaking system too :P
