Why does Yasuo get to slip by more and more patches unchecked?

JafarThePanda·Jun 28, 2016·9 votes·827 views

once a yasuo it's gg for your lane unless he's a bot and doesn't build it once he gets , gg for your mid game, again, a good scenario is him being a bot AND ? FF 20.

I played enough games to realize the only way you lose with this guy is if you intentionally throw.

Don't even get me started on the bruiser build that still chunks your fed The only way you could ever balance this guy to not be an oppressive dick EVERYWHERE (yes you can take him any lane/role and still do fine), is to entirely gut his scaling and get rid of his shield.

Yasuo isn't an issue at the moment. Quite frankly, he's a bit on the weak side with many exploitable weaknesses and requires more effort than many champions to do decently with.

As a jungler, I love seeing the enemy team pick Yasuo because I know that it is very easy to get fed off of him. He's squishy, lacks ranged farming tools, has no unconditional escape and has to play aggressively to win many lane match-ups, leaving him overextended and an easy kill throughout the laning phase.

As a top laner, I love seeing the enemy pick Yasuo because most of my champions can beat his face in and crush him. Many fighters and tanks simply beat him with their base-stats and can ignore his Windwall entirely (and much of his mobility).

If you want an easy match-up top-lane, just pick Olaf (or Garen or Darius or Volibear, etc) into him with Corrupting Potion and rush Ninja Tabi and Sunfire Cape. You will murder him through base-stats alone in a straight-up fight, your ultimate can prevent him from knocking you up to active his ultimate, you have more sustain than he does and you can just chase him down if you are remotely competent at landing axes.

I really would love to see how you can use axes after he windwalls, land any autos and E's while he's dashing away, and even if you ult, you're not going to survive his ridiculous crit damage without item 3143

After he windwalls, shoot at a different angle.

EndlessSorcererJun 29, 20163 votes

You wait out the windwall or reposition, you chase him past your minions so he has nothing to dash to, and you use your ultimate to prevent his knockup to prevent him from ulting you, and Ninja Tabi + Sunfire Cape greatly reduce the physical damage your take from his autoattacks and Q.

It really isn't that hard.

4 seconds is all it takes for me to get deleted even at full build, or even ahead of him. try again.

You're probably out of luck if you aren't able to accomplish even that simple measure, so you'll have to fend for yourself.

Have fun with that.

Weaknesses? LOL. Mobility - check, passive shield - check, ridiculous scaling - check, CC - check.

Yasuo has an overloaded kit. His crit passive and shield needs to go. His dashes need resource system.

I QJun 28, 20163 votes

He doesn't have scaling.

Also if you can't play against him because your bad, it doesn't mean he is broken.

JafarThePandaJun 29, 20162 votes

you can't counterplay a W that blocks a skillshot. you can't counterplay an E that lets you dash from any sort of danger you CAN counterplay a Q, but you can't counterplay 100% crit chance beyond item 3143

I QJun 29, 20165 votes

Shoot around W, E you can fight away from minions/Between waves. He can't E then can he?

"No counterplay"

To add to that list. Akali Anivia Karma (people really need to start playing her more) Lissandra Taliyah (this one's kind of weird, her E is amazing at shutting down his dashes, but it's a skill match up depending on both players) Velkoz

Yasuo is ~~fine~~ busted. ~~L2PI~~ I'm a yasuo player, don't nerf my overpowered champ.

fixed

Stars ShaperJun 29, 20162 votes

Any competent player can shut down Yasuo and keep him in check, if you let get him back you got outplayed either by him or his team.

I am a Xerath/Aurelion Sol main, rarely play Yasuo.

Why dont you like land one CC in a team fight and your team melts him? He dies so easily. I dont know why people are trying to nerf him. One mistake on yasuo and you get shit on so quick

I have landed CC on him, numerous times, and it takes a no cost E to dash away through ONE creep wave to ruin a kill chance.

really kind of hard to farm a creep wave away when he can poke for literally no cost other than a 2 second CD.

And this is where we start seeing why you dont even bother to think in ways to counter him. No offence but I meant dont fight in YOUR wave. He only gets mobility when your wave is near you otherwise he only has one E target, which is you. After that he is immobile. Completely for a couple seconds.

Also some one just listen a good group of champs that out right fuck him.

Good luck man but really dont make these threads if you dont try all options that are given to you. No champ is that OP where another champ just doesnt out right shit on em.

ALSO Olaf can shit on him well if you dont feed your ass off. He windwalls? Walk through that shit. If he sits anywhere near his windwall he will get shrekt and if he leaves it you can axe him down.

COME ON MAN. Get it together!
