I dont know if everyone else that plays top lane normally has been spammed against by yasuo
top lane, he aggresively jumps around creeps and pokes as much as possible and never farms under tower and pushes the lane back as far as possible and has the same item build phantom dancer
into infinity
, every single one uses warlords, has anyone else seen 30 something of these exact same yasuos in one week go top or is it just me

That's on you. Yasuo is an extremely easy champion to gank if you and your jungler aren't potatoes about it.
Besides doesn't the top lane meta shit all over Yasuo right now?(
to name a few) or just pick
and make his life a living hell.
Troll for Trump1 votesReally annoying for people to think Darius counters Yas. He doesn't, it's the other way around. The key is Dar's early game, but that depends solely on what the yas does. Doesn't matter how good you are at Darius, you can't land Q on a yasuo that's no potato.
Only way to combat Yas is with something with all targeted abilities(aka no counterplay, toxic design) like Panth or Annie
RlP K0BE1 votesMy mistake but you do not need a champion with just point and click abilities to beat Yasuo although that might be the easiest way to go about it.
Strawberrycocoa1 votesWhen he has infinite resources and a .5 second cooldown dash, you kind of do need a guaranteed damage spell to trade or harass him effectively.
Anidan1 votesPoppy seems to mess up his win rate pretty hard.
That's not relevant to this discussion, I just like that fact. Your jungler comes along and then you give Yasuo a big ol' hug and watch him squirm and scream internally while he can't effectively escape the gank anymore. Teamfight applicable as well.
TacoKingIII1 votesWhat if the jungler doesn't gank
Spicy Rice1 votesIt's a team game, so you would lose anyways, since your teammate is a cat walking on a keyboard
Packun Flower5 votesYasuo anything is cancer
MunchCrunchLunch5 voteschampion is cancer. doesn't matter how early game goes. late game a windwall basically makes your option in a team fight is run away. if he has any sort of initiation its gg. the champion is annoying and he heals too much. hes a drain tank that one shots half your team.

DoktorKaiser2 votesThats pretty much why I stopped maining Sion top, every game was unplayable.
Jbels2 votesThats pretty much why I stopped maining Sion top, every game was unplayable.
Sion can beat Yasuo, quite easily actually, but you have to be prepared to invest into two doran's rings and an E max style. His windwall CANNOT block Sion's E when it has affected a minion, it goes right through and still hits him. Playing that way you can poke him out. Maxing Q is pointless in this lane because as we all know, Yasuo will just dash through you and make it worthless
YumaS2Astral2 votesThat's one of the reasons why everyone hates Yasuo. He forces you to play in a completely different way from what you are used to play just to beat him, and even then you almost always don't really beat him, you just go even.
This is different from a champion, for example, Malzahar. When going against Malzahar, you just have to rush an early QSS. Which might make you delay your build, but you don't have to completely change the way you play just because there is a Malzahar in the game.
With Yasuo, on other hand, you have to play the game according to his rules. You must play really safe. On many tanks and bruisers, you are forced to rush a Randuin's Omen if you are behind, whereas against any other AD matchup you could build Sunfire Cape and come out on the top. He might require you to bring Exhaust just to counter his all-ins or to be able to effectively trade with him early. Or he requires special attention from your jungle, something that most of them cannot or don't want to give.
Same reason to why everyone hated to play against Zed when he was strong. He forced you to rush a Zhonya's on a mage that you would otherwise build a mana item. Back then this item was even more expensive which would set you further behind. You needed to expend your entire mana on waveclearing to compete against Zed, yet you couldn't rush a mana item because Zhonya was so essential against him. He forced everyone to permaban him because only a few select mages could be able to lane against Zed, and by himself he invalidated a big portion of the mid lane pool.

Oh no, I know. I hate playing against Yasuo as much as the next guy
Anidan1 votesY'know, the more I'm reading this kind of thing, the sillier it's starting to sound to me. He's toxic because he forces you to change your playstyle? That's a petty reason to be annoyed by an enemy in a game. If anything, I feel more champions should be like that. Not having to switch up your playstyle just breeds complacency, and anything that breaks that up is instantly seen as a bad thing despite the fact that we should never be allowed to become complacent in a PvP game where every champion is supposed to fill in their unique role.
Say I'm playing GW2, for instance, and I'm in PvP. I don't get to approach any class the same as I can another. A Mesmer is going to confuse me to death (both literally and figuratively), whereas a Warrior is just going to brawl my face in, while a Thief is going to gank and use his mobility to make sure he never fights in a disadvantageous position, and so on - and that's not even mentioning whether or not they're going for a beat-your-face-in Power build, or a Condition Damage build, or a heavily defensive/supportive build. In DotA2 I don't get to approach Drow Ranger the same way I might approach Sniper, and someone like Anti-Mage or Spectre force you to change your strategy as soon as they're picked if you planned to bring it to late-game yourself. Even in Heroes of the Storm if someone picks, say, Medivh or Zeratul you have to switch up how you play the game because of what they do.
If only a handful of champions are able to reliably make you have to reconsider your strategy, that's not a good sign - that's a sign that everything is so similar it can be dealt with in roughly the same manner. "On many tanks and bruisers, you are forced to rush a Randuin's Omen if you are behind, whereas against any other AD matchup you could build Sunfire Cape and come out on top." That... that doesn't sound good to me. He's the only one that can force you to build differently, and so he's bad for that? Why are the others not able to put you on the back foot just because of the existence of that item? If he's the only one that can make you build differently, then we need more people that can do that.
I won't comment on Zed because his problem is largely the fact that he runs on an energy pool in a game where the majority of the roster is on a mana resource, which is an inherent issue that has to be balanced incredibly carefully, which is probably why I don't see other MOBAs even bother - some people might have no mana at all or run on fury, but nothing but League has you run on Energy.

Question, why is it okay for malz to force you qss rush wich infact is trash in mages, however not ok for zed to force a mage rush zhonyas, which while not the best rush item offers profitable stats for a mage¿?
YumaS2Astral1 votesBecause QSS has less than half of the cost of Zhonya (even after this latter got its price reduced).
abdelhamid91 votesBecause QSS has less than half of the cost of Zhonya (even after this latter got its price reduced).
Sure, but still its somewhat of a wasted slot, you only get an active and a lil mr, zhonyas while more expensive it gives armor ap and cdr, and back on the time that item was borderline core because of how good it was.

hunterspec2 votesyou see a yasuo in your game? I haven't seen one in ages.
Titanium702 votesWell the scaling of Warlords+PD+Yasuo is just beyond ridiculous. If you dont crush him with your JGL and/or mid before he gets it, you're in serious problems. This Item is just to strong. Sure nerf Yasuo - I wont cry about that's for sure - but really... PD is the #1 problem. Warlord is the #2. Yasuo's stupid kit is just the #3.
NGNL Asian2 votesAre you new to boards?
Citavista1 votesHave you ever played Yasuo into a Renekton? That's real cancer. Top lane is like the least safe lane for Yasuo. Almost everyone shits on him and he has no actual opportunity to "outplay" them because champs like Renekton have stuff that's pretty impossible to dodge along with innate tankiness and high base damage.

Elisheva1 votesI haven't noticed. Probably because he's not hard to beat. Hmm.
Irelia Bot1 votesHe is not a problem unless the jungler is camping his lane setting me behind until he gets phantom dancer.
TheHurricaneGamr1 votesHe actually does better in the longer lanes, but he has more favorable matchups in the midlane. This is why he is seen mid more. However, I just hate Yasuo in general. I get that he takes skill and that he's probably in a balanced spot, but WHY IS HE SO FRUSTRATING. There's absolutely nothing I can do if I'm matched against a good Yasuo. He pretty much controls the pace of the game for starters. In addition, the usual forms of counterplay don't apply. He's strong early, but still scales really well. He's squishy, but has not one, but TWO shields and usually 
. He's extremely mobile, but locking him down means you have to burn through his shield. OH right, and he has CC, because having multiple dashes wasn't enough.
