Undo the Yasuo Nerfs Riot

Bultz··2 votes·619 views

You know you are only hitting Yasuo because Bronze nobodies come on here and whine. There isn't one good reason to validate nerfing yasuo into being a team reliant no one, instead of the slayer carry champion he is. These Mouth breathers on this site will never be happy. Ever. No matter how much you do for them. They will never stop crying because they lack skill to beat Yasuo mains. They cry Yasuo is unfun because they refuse to change their builds and tactics to actually counter him. They cry he is overpowered because they want to agro a duelist who is meant to fight. They cry that he comes back even after losing lane, even though he is a late game champion meant to be better then them late game. They cry because he has mobility, even though he has the most counters in game with no good anti cc items to prevent chained cc. They cry that Yasuo players only ever feed, but cry he is op at the same time, you can't have it both ways.

No matter how much you nerf Yasuo, these savages won't accept it. Stop touching our champion for them. I have over a million exp in Yasuo and have earned my right to destroy them if they don't have the skill to counter or outplay me. Yasuo is at a near perfect 50% winrate, you have no excuse to nerf him. You hit him with ult nerfs and e nerfs. Now you want to nerf his q. You need to undo the q nerfs and leave him be. There are plenty of actually broken champions you need to be addressing. Undo the nerfs riot.

As for you reading this, I won't respond to any of you. You can comment and downvote all you want. Your circle jerking methods don't mean anything to me.

Clearly it means something otherwise you won't be making this thread.

It's 1 thing to have circlejerk threads, it's however another to completely shut down discussion.

they wouldn't have to nerf him if they would just remove him ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Translated as: I know you guys were totally right about Yasuo being OP & deserved the nerfs, but I'm just saying this in order to not make myself look like an ass for arguing against it.

If you want to be taken seriously 1): Get off your ego 2) Accept your champ is an abomination nobody likes to play against, and it doesn't matter if it's nerfed until a 20% winrate, nobody, NOBODY wants to face it unless you play a counterpick, and even in that case you would have plenty of opportunities to """"OMG SICK OUTPLAYS!!!""" or just outscale them.

"slayer carry champion he is", you say? So he can be played as a lane bully, equipped with anti-harass passive and w, which simply hits you and runs away, while hyperscaling into an unkillable monster that you need 2 or 3 people to take down? WOW. Burst, dps, shield, fantastic TEAM utility and decent teamfight with AoE dmg gapcloser blink.

Do you start to glimpse the edges of the problem now? Because I think your resourceless, no cooldowns, two ultimate mained bastard doesn't let you.

He's annoying to play agaisnt? Yes

He's OP? No

Actually he's in terrible state where all of his viable road either get rekt and all of his match up getting buff heavily. He's not the strong duelist and picking him make team lack of tank which lead to disadvantages in 5v5. Of all carry being pick in pro play, he's probably never appear.

Bruiser build yasuo is used to be his most efficient build, but riot gutt him by saying "this slightly tankier build is not the way we want him to be", and then force him to build ad... After that, they nerf his damage out put on every skill as well:

  • Ulti: Remove armor shred without crit
  • E: Remove 30% of the damage, which affect his damage/farm from early to late.
  • Q: Remove HALF of the Q holding duration, which make him even easier to shut down early and even harder to contribute in team fight late game.

Its like riot saying "We don't want you to build tank, but we don't want you to be carry either".

After his ulti nerf, he's force to build double crit item to be able to shred tank. As his ulti deal little damage since the scaling AD on doulbe crit item is not that great, the only thing it provide mobility in form of one-way engage trip. Any good yasuo player (at least gold and above) know its a usuallydumb idea to initiate a team fight since the way his ulti work is to cc himself without any significant damage.

Yasuo got one of the lower base stat in game, and shitty MR grow as well, which make him struggle a lot if he get behind and can't get the items he need.

Get top lane for example: Now compare to other carry.

  • He's lack of sustainable. Fiora, Camille, Darius, Renekton... all have some way to regen themself in lane, so don't complain if he has a shield that easily being poke out.
  • He lack of escape. His mobility is used to get in, not much get out of hairy gank. Thats the reason why yasuo in high elo got camped the shit out of it and lead to feeding meme. He cannot dash back w/o minion, unlike Fiora, Renekton, Kennen, Riven.
  • He's lack of Tank killing ability. His build path isn't flexibility and easy to counter. Compare it to Fiora which have build-in true damage and Kennen/Jax mix damage, armor stacking make him useless as shit. I remember the game he vs Maokai (before his E and ulti nerf) which that tree regen more HP from being hit.
  • His damage out put is not consistent, its not auto-atack extra like many people say, since hitting Q sure be tricky than auto-atk steroid like Jayce, auto atk reset like Fiora, Jax, Riven. Renekton, Darius, Camile.

If you want to prove he's broken, i love to hear your argument, don't saying brainless thing like "he's broken because he is".
