@Riot please, rework (or delete) Yasuo, or at least stop balancing the game around competitive

OK I´m salty a Yasuo (in a premade) just destroyed me in lane as twisted fate (you could insert 90% of ranged mages here).

The thing is...I don´t even think he needs any help from his premade when his passive shield and his wind will entirely counters every single skill I can use pre6.

Similar but not so frustrating experience with every other mage, for some unexplainable reason he has a shield, manaless poke, can push super hard or simply last hit minions while he zones you, and for some even more odd reason he has strong early while he´s a mid/late game monster aka hypercarry. (see lane/jungle master yi, that´s balanced)

Where´s the balance with him?

Other than the stupid champion sucking in competitive (while twisted fate sucks out of competitive, pretty much like Shen) I can´t find a reason to not nerf or rework him.

As a tf/shen/j4 main I´m starting to get tired about the fact that you balance your game around 0,5% (or so...) of the player base. I play since early season 2 and the game was much better in almost every patch before the release of abominations like Yasuo or Camille. The last one is pretty fun too since she outclasses my j4 in almost everything.

Tips and advice from the community will be accepted, but lets acknowledge that balancing around pro play is just stupid and makes the game worse for 99% of the players.

Like...come on, when I´m paired with diamonds I ult a pushed bot lane before pinging 4 times and only the support follows (and we die because our diamond adc which is ahead in kills+farm doesn´t know/care about what´s going on).

Time to buff Tf, not nerf shen, nerf camille and nerf yasuo. Oh and please do not freaking buff Riven, she sucks in competitive due to her kit and stomps everywhere else so that´s not going to help her.

That´s all, now I´m gonna play another tf/shen/j4 game to get a bit more salty, there´s no limit with this game -.-

Honestly, their entire fan base is from competitive play. They will ALWAYS balance champions to have the competitive scene in mind.

  • Look at Ryze for example. He's probably going to need a 5th rework because he can't be balanced through just solo queue or competitive. He's strong in the pro scene currently but is lacking in the solo queue department. There are some happy mediums such as Aurelian Sol where he is an amazing pocket pick for some pros but he's not too amazing or bad in solo queue.

Yasuo players getting triggered and leaving a down vote. You guys need to stop getting mad whenever someone calls out Yasuo for being overpowered. It's true, and you guys know it.

Or, people with common sense are downvoting what basically is a rant
