Am I the only Yasuo main who doesn't feel rewarded when they get fed?

Fatalitý··17 votes·3,230 views

Yasuo is my number 1 rated champ in champion points I have 73k points on him (I know it's not that much) I play him because I think his lore is the best in the game but every time I get fed with him I just don't feel liked I earned it, I see all these other yasuo players bragging after they get fed and acting all cool when in reality I really don't think Yasuo takes skill. Does any other Yasuo main feel this way? Probably not since all the other Yasuo's I've come across were usually toxic but I want to know what other players of different champs feel about this character. I like playing champs that are strong but take a lot of skill to play and I don't really consider Yasuo to be one of them.

Edit: I'm seeing a lot of comments saying im not a "Yasuo Main" because I don't play him in ranked. I have over 1300 wins in normals out of the games I play 99% of games I play are normals I play Yasuo a lot on normals and I barely play ranked. You don't have to consider me a Yasuo main but I have 73k points on him, he is my favorite champ and I play him more than any of the other champs.

I respect you my friend. His problem is he spikes too often, and too quickly. Also his spike from stattik shiv is absolutely ridiculous.

^ this is basically my feeling. Early game feels really rewarding if you can outplay, after that it just gets astronomical

As someone who tried to play yasuo and fed to intermediate bot Nasus... while I hate playing against Yasuo, I definitely feel you earned it.

That doesn't mean Yasuo changes would be bad though.

I feel like he can only contribute to the team if he gets fed out of control. It's like he enters the game with everyone expecting him to get fed by default. Otherwise he does nothing (doesn't help that he is probably the least safe midlaner in the game and he is starved for wards)

He enters the gane with everyone expecting him to feed by default.

Yasuo has a medium skill floor and high skill ceiling. He might seem easy but he's definitely not someone you can just pick up and play->dominate vs good players.

Since you have 73k mastery and you feel like he doesn't take skill, do what I do on my mains. Try out new builds that you created yourself and even ones that require you to get fed, put some risk in it

i hate yasuo with a passion but i must admit, while he is relatively easy to play, he's not easy to play well, so when i get 1v3 outplayed by some mad jukes and faker plays, i aint mad, that guy deserved that outplay, but when the yasuo is 10/9 at the end of the game and his kills are leftovers after malphite/amumu wombo'd my team, that aint impressive

Doesn't feel rewarding because once he is ahead he can engage and disengage in lane as much as he wants while being resourceless. Also, if you mess up, you still have windwall to fuck up pretty much any mage mid

I play him because I think his lore is the best in the game

he most absolutely has the best lore in the game. Which is why so many people play him. Love yasuo's generic kit as somebody who "flows like the wind" and his mobility, he just has too much on top of his mobility. Keep his ability to dash around, just give him some trade off to do so.

Yasuo does take skill, you got good with him and that is why you are allowed to get fed.

DeloricVI2 votes

If you want a real rush, start playing Veigar. When you get fed, you'll know you earned it, from all that farming, all those tricky to land stuns...

And your reward is being able to walk up to an enemy AP champion and deliver a swift death to them at the press of a button.

Trust me, in this meta, it's not easy being a Veigar main -.-

But in all seriousness, Yasuo wouldn't be all that ridiculous if his crit chance wasn't so insane. If it weren't for that double crit chance passive, he wouldn't be so easy to snowball out of control with.

You have played him three times in ranked, and the last time you played him in ranked was August of last year.

Yeah sure man, you're a real "Yasuo main" lol.

Yasuo is dumb cheesy champion that's in dire need of a rework.

kebslol2 votes

No one should get rewarded when they get fed. Removes all balance from the game. All characters should grow equally and equitably.

Akali is SO HOT2 votes

Out of your last 40 or 50 games not including customs you've played Yasuo about 4 times.

"Yasuo main"

yay nibbers2 votes

Yasuo is still their highest mastery champ, who they actually do play a fair bit except this past ~week for whatever reason. It's okay for a Yasuo main (or any other main for that matter) to play other champs you know.

"Yasuo main"

um hes my number 1 rated champion so he should be considered my main? I own every champ so I like to play all of them but Yasuo is my favorite and my number 1 champion points rated skill champ so you don't have to consider me a main but thats what im telling you

WadeWilson13371 votes

I find Yasuo to be one of the champions i have the highest winrates against...i personally think hes incredibly weak. Then again im apparently the only person who deals with "cancer" champs very well. I.e. LeeSin MasterYi Yasuo Zed.

Yea well take a look at Riven she has been gutted by season 6 and isn't nearly as play worthy as she was pre-preseason 46% win rate.

Well her level six is still strong but now she really can't stick it to people in the early game like she used to be able to :c

Yea and the new items just pooped on her snowball especially with brut removed/last whisper change.

You shouldn't believe in the stigma your champion has. If you're going to beat yourself up about SUCCEEDING then may as well not even play as yasuo.

yay nibbers1 votes

I personally live the feeling of outdoing my opponent as Yasuo. He's a tricky champ that's not exactly hard to deal with when you know how so it's a good feeling doing well on him, especially if I can get fed. It's unfortunate that you don't feel the same.

You have zero right to complain. Your kit is already overpowered.

did you not read my post? lol I said I don't feel rewarded because I think he is easy to play

I often don't feel rewarded when I get fed as Yasuo because I play in an elo where people will just focus the shit out of me if I get fed. Really takes the fun out of having Shiv and IE before 20 minutes when the enemy team saves all their CC and burst for me.

And bitch please, you have 3 Yasuo games in the last year and none in the last 6 months. Yasuo main? More like Yasuo QQer pretending to be a Yasuo main in a desperate attempt for credibility.

Look at my normal games? I don't play ranked at all. also 73k champ points

LeagueofLegends.com doesn't show your normal games in your match history for some reason. Regardless, your opinion of Yasuo still doesn't really matter because you play him in Silver mmr where almost no one actually punishes his weaknesses. You're correct, Yasuo doesn't take skill to play in low elo because the people you're playing against are bad and just let you do whatever you want. Sorry friend, Yasuo is a noob stomper and doing well with him against noobs means absolutely nothing.

What I find unfair about Yasou is that he can farm so easily while denying you farm with his tornado and all those dashes, he is a bit toxic champ but probably not overpowered. Does he take skill? I dont know cause I never tried him but I imagine he does, it is kinda how I feel with Cassio, she seems easy to me because I have over half a million points with her, yet I still cannot play her that well, still well enough to get fed in 70% or more of my games.

Wolfram Oxford1 votes

Yasuo takes a lot of skill, you just have to know his limits, plus he also takes a lot of knowledge. Knowing what to buy, planning that 1v5, etc.

The Bearded Bard1 votes

While I don't respect you for maining Yasuo, I do respect you for not circlejerking the false idea that Yasuo is the hardest champion ever created in any videogame and to play him makes you a God among mere mortals.

Meep Man1 votes

I think it's because, since Yasuo reaches 100% crit chance so quickly and you can't get more than that, you don't feel like you are ramping up as much as other champions.

kaltenashes1 votes

wait u wanna feel rewarded for getting fed with a champion? like your skills are better than the enemy?

well then dont play yasuo fizz zed master yi udyr

oh yeah they are so hard to play with... no they're not, i've had my share of games with those jerk champs, free win against lots of team comps.

you can only lose games after you got fed if you and your team make bad calls or delay too much to win allowing the enemy to breathe some air and make a comeback

Goodest Gamer1 votes

lol? why get fed when you get the same stupid damage with crit after a while. thats why people hate yasuo, because he can feed his ass off and still buy crit items and do ridiculous damage.

JafarThePanda1 votes

Is he easy mode? YAS. Is he broken? YAS. Nerf needed? YAS. See the trend?

Daxanater1 votes

Hi, 110k yasuo main here, I totally agree with you however I recommend getting a group of people to play with that would make him more rewarding and fun to play.

Like the maplhite, ori and wukong comp or something. It makes it more fun to play him and rewarding but that being said I do agree some times it's not the best feeling.

Century Child1 votes

Yasuo is a trainwreck, and anyone who does feel rewarded when fed with him needs to pick up a new champion lmao.
