As a Yasuo main.

Fckin·10/4/2015, 12:01:12 PM·5 votes·4,621 views

As a Yasuo main I came through ALOT of toxic players because they hate playing against Yasuo's. The most things I hear is 1- You have no skill, playing a champ that can two shot anyone 2- Play a different f***** champ that doesn't insta kill people 3- Every match a Yasuo, you guys are all annoying. 4- Bronze scrub, playing a Op champ. Woah woah woah, well let me tell you guys, I'm not that hard to beat nor other Yasuos aren't either. Here, let me show you a few ways to counter, stop a yasuo from reaching his power spike. 1- Pick champs like Teemo, Malazar, Brand. Anyone with a hard enough Cc to stop me. Because say I'm a Yasuo and I'm against a Teemo. Teemo can zone me out of lane with great poking with Poisin and if I try to go in, he can just blind me and attack while im blinded, and I'll have no other choice to back away. Without flash or a minon to dash to, I might get flashed ignited and theres a dead Yasuo.

2- Stun the hell out of me. One stun in a team fight can blow up a Yasuo instantly. After all. I am still a mid laner, so I am squishy and can die very easyly. Even a good Silence from Soraka or Cho gath can kill Yasuo's as well.

3- Always keep sight on me. I see this mistake alot and see Yasuos roaming because no one has the proper warding places to keep sight of me or follows me where ever I go, so I get fed off other lanes and its gg no re because your team can't keep up with me because I'll have full build within 25 minutes while most of your team only has 4 items. Don't let a Yasuo roam and carry the game for the team, always keep sight on him and keep him in check.

4- Yasuo's do not need a nerf, you just fed him , thats why he is like that. I'm tired of seeing almost every day a board post of Yasuo needs a nerf, He only needs a nerf because YOU get killed countless times by him and simply don't know how to counter him. My advice, if you keep going against Yasuo's in normal , keep someone like Teemo or Mal and just shit all over him. Boom revenge then Yasuo can be like "Wow wtf, Teemo needs a nerf, all this poke and I can't do nothing." You'll just be sitting there laughing. But then I could laugh back at you because you are one of those people who post a "I hate Yasuo's, nerf him" Thing on boards and I'm just sitting here laughing at every one of of their rant of Yasuo nerfs. Don't even get me started on how they say windwall needs to be nerfs, all you have to do is Auto attack him once, poof, sheild gone, is that so hard?

His q, ways to counter - Move side to side and dodge them, even though they are instant they are easy to dodge, once you move to the right and my mouse is on the left, boom, q gone and you dodge.

Windwall- Lazers can go through my windwall, also I can't block turret shots with it so. And its a wind wall that covers a limited space, not the whole map, move around it, simple.

His e- Doesn't do that much dmg and doesn't have that much range on it. Man up or if your a women. Women up.

His ult.- Don't stay in one group so much in team fights, because Yasuo (Me) can just get one big knock up on the whole team and boom, penta kill right there.

Is every Yasuo player in Bronze- Nah, Silver 4 man and over 70k point with him.

This is MY thoughts on how Yasuo can be countered and I hope I see less boards post over people wanting to nerf something they can't handle.

Thank you all for taking the time reading this if you got this far and I hope to see you in a game one day. Feel free to add me , tell me your thoughts and the comments below and I'll see you the next time I post on boards Yasuo

Congrats, you just explained how to counter ANY champion. Of course what you said applies to Yasuo, as it also applies to everyone else. CC gets you killed? NO WAY! Buy wards? OMG challenjour tactics! Teemo has poke? WOW! A fed champion is strong? IMPOSSIBRU! Yasuo is a low skillfloor champion with an extremely overrated mediocre skillcap of spamming E on every minion and pressing R on everyone your team knocks up, because Yasuo Q3 is too hard to hit. If you somehow manage to screw up with one of the most forgiving champions in the game, you still have infinite dashes, a windwall so big that it might as well be a 4 second spellshield, a regenerating shield AND he's resourceless to make sure you can always do all of that! And if you STILL manage to be behind, he gains bonus armor pen from his ult so he can 1v1 tanks after feeding the whole game! Oh did I mention he's AD, so not only he has burst, but also sustained damage??????? Cool!

Yasuo takes no skill to play and is a disgusting champion. Sincerely, Plat 1 Ahri main and 370k points with her.

We know how to kill Yasuo's. The reason we hate him is because he requires so much effort to kill him. First there's his shield. Sure I can AA that, then I have to bait out his wall, once that's done I need to make sure I can keep him from moving around too much getting a bit away from my minions but oh wait, his shield's back up. Pop it again. Now however he's dashing through the minions and regening it faster than I can throw some CC at him. By the time I do get to lock him down, his shield and wall are back up and I just want to rip my hair out. He's fun for you but absolutely tedious for the person you're laning against.

I agree that Yas takes skill to use effectively. However, he is so incredibly broken. The FNC vs C9 game showed that even if you put Yas behind, he is still an absolute terror.

Yas honestly needs reworked more than any champ in the game.

When playing mid I have troubles against a yas since his early game is so strong.

Top lane I crush any yas. I main sion and eventually if he doesn't get a kill on me in the first 10 minutes I demolish him.

That being said, in either case yasuo has the kit to allow him to get a kill on my other teammates just from some random bs lol.

It's not enough that you win lane hard against a yas; the champion must be completely locked down the entire game which is near impossible due to solo q random feeders, mistakes, and juts plain ol inexperience.

Yas, just like riven, is a safe solo q pick just for these reasons. You dont even have to worry about winning your lane that much since you'll eventually get kills since their kits are so forgiving with built-in damage, mobility and survival up the arse.

-Yasuo gets Vi ulted while Yasuo has 1/6th of his hp- -shield negates ALL the damage from the Vi ult- -Yasuo gets away- Hard CC works guys.

one thing i would like to point out yasuo is hard to control

but a guy who doesnt know what he does ... usually gets some benefit off this thats why people hate the champion ... enemy simply presses buttons and his champions does lcsbigplays (hence ppl call him op)

i played yasuo a lot too ... and believe me ... the hate is justified he isnt op ... but the way he functions is cancer to deal with ofc you get your share of the cancer too (when you dont get fed early and get to be useless for mos of the time) but your is kinda easier to deal with

So feeding Yasuo is the only problem...not that he has an insanely over loaded kit that provides him with an absolutely insane power spike for something as small as Stattik Shiv. I want to direct you to something...

This was a game I had where I was against a top lane Yasuo and Maokai. My jungle Olaf and I worked to shut him down early, you can see him die rather quickly. You can look at the build orders and see where I have both RoA and Deadmans plate at around the 15 minute mark mean while Yasuo only had his Stattik Shiv...and he soloed me in the middle of the lane surrounded by my minions, without using his E 15 different times, just straight AAing and Qing to ult and continue AAing. Keep in mind this entire thing was happening while I had my R active for 20% reduced damage. A 1 item Yasuo soloes a 2 item Maokai and then goes on to hyper carry a game, including getting a pentakill in a 2v5 situation.

The people who think Yasuo is in anyway shape form or fashion a healthy champion are delusional. He will never be anything other than broken as long as he continues to be so overloaded, with the biggest problem being his E.

You dont even beed cc, just soneone who can easily poke yasuo and keep their distance.

I disagree with the teemo part, yasuo utterly DESTROYS teemos top or mid. Also second, as a yasuo main myself as much as I dont like to admit it, secretly every yasuo main knows this. OUR CHAMP IS BROKEN AF. Dont lie you know he is. Hes like a zed that can 1v5 once he hits late game.

1- Pick champs like Teemo, Malazar, Brand. Anyone with a hard enough Cc to stop me.

Teemo has hard CC Rammus .

as a Yasuo main i have to say that when ppl tell me"yasuo takes no skill" bitch look at his skill cap he's one of four or five champions with 100% difficulty and NO Yasuo isnt op you guys just dont know how to lane against him i'll admit i hate going up against yas too but i dont bitch and moan on the boards begging Riot for a nerf pointless people really act like its so hard to kill a yas "op passive" well theres a thing called cc" I have seen a lot of complaints about Yi and Yas back to back you can't nerf Yi bc he's broken as shit and might as well say yas is broken they had to nerf his core item bc kids were crying to riot about being 2 shot by yas as adc dont like the champ? play draft and ban him ez.

Fiveofswords10/4/2015, 8:48:12 PM1 votes

bad advice. yasuo isnt the one you want to waste hard cc on because he jsut doesnt do much damage. better to stun and kill the adc.
