Yasuophobia

Yasuo need more counterplay than "picking champs that are good vs him".

I don't know, make him better vs cac and a little less vs ranged but it's shouldn't be like that : You are a ranged, get fcked. It's should be other than pick Akali, Talon, Zed and destroy him.

After all, we should be all able to play what we want. Why we must play Garen vs Yasuo if we want to win ? Because Yasuo don't have enough counterplay for ranged champs.

I hope you understand my point of view, we are not all players who want to grow at challenger. There are some that want to have fun on this game without care about e-sport and I don't see why I should learn to counter him with my champs while playing others champs are easier.

I mean, my laning phases vs him are always stressful. Hit this minion, move, OMG HE IS COMING MOVE MOVE UNDER YOUR TOWER, put a Q OMG HE DODGED IT, take this ! FCKING TORNADO...

I can't play like that. It's not fun, it's not relaxing. And I don't want to call my jungler every 2s just to be able to play. I don't want to pick Garen mid just to counter this. I love playing Ahri, Lux... And I would find another way to beat him without have to play stressful vs him, without ban because for me ban isn't supposed to be the answer to everything.

Yes I know, if I really hate Yasuo, if I can't play vs him, then why not just ban him ? Well you don't understand, this feeling of must always ban a champ because you can't do a thing vs him. It's feeling sick. + what do I do if my mates want to play him ? I act like an assholee and I ban him ?

You want probably to know why I care so much about winning if I play for fun, well when you are the only one on your team who can't play vs a Yasuo, you feel like an idiot.

Every game I make and where I lose vs an Yasuo, people are laughing at me, blaming me but they don't know how it's hard for me to play vs him. I feel like it's always easy for them to counter this champ. People don't understand me, I'm like "oh no, Yasuo I'm not going to win vs this" and they are like "Omg idiot, you can't play vs him ? It's freaking easy !" You are just a noob !"

And the most funny, is that these people die when they try to fight Yasuo. I only have like 2 death (because im trying to feed the less) but Yasuo farm so good and he takes big advantage. And here it is : Report mid !

I think Yasuo players are not idiots like most people pretends. Yasuo players plays him practically everyday if not everygame and they master him easier. While us, we plays differents champs on every game because we have the right to others champs and it's a good thing.

When I play adc bot (I love MF), i feel like useless vs him. His windwall + his dashes are too much to handle.

I don't have the nerves or the patience to play vs him. Im not someone who rages, i mean im someone who is open minded. I love to play exotics bot like Lux Morgana (and not troll, because i don't troll, i play lux apc bot but i play like i want to win). I don't go undertower and feed my opponents like a troller would do.

When someome lose his lane, i don't blame him, i practically never blame because i know it's may be hard to fight vs some champs. I prefer always blame enemy champs than my teammates plays.

**For example, if my top Akali lose vs a Gnar. I will say "don't worry, Gnar is op". It's stupid but i feel like it's helps people when you told them that it's not their fault. So i never blame my mates, i prefer blame enemy champs because it's more useful maybe ? **

Sometimes i can get angry when someone is really trolling or afk but i do my best to contain myself (im honor 3 by the way so that mean im not so toxic otherwise i would be like honor 2 or less).

But even with an open minded spirit, i can't fight a Yasuo. First, i feel annoyed because i know how the game will be : Annoying to lane vs him. I know that i will make shiit and even if im doing well it's will be useless because Yasuo is here and i can't do nothing vs him.

Then, i feel desesperate, i can only pray my team to do something vs him and most often, people are angry because i can't play vs this champ. And i play apc bot so they are angrier because not only we don't have adc but im losing. I never feel like we need a marksman to win or a tank, it's may be easier but vs Yasuo bot, what could i do with an ashe or with a Caitlyn ? I'd rather pick Lux and farm with E.

And when you are annoyed, you can't play well. It's a fact. But i can't stay calm vs this champ. I would need a team that is like : Don't worry we will rekt this Yasuo, we will kick his asss. But even my teammates can't do a thing vs him.

I don't know if i have Yasuophobia and if i can be cured but i would like to find another solution than ban. Especially because i have friends who likes to play normal games and not drafts. But in normal game, you have Yasuo practically on every game.

By the way, sorry if my English is bad, as non native speaker, i don't realize how wrong i can write sometimes. I just posted in English because in my native language the forum is practically dead (nobody on it).

A good bunch of ranged champions can win against Yasuo if you know what you're doing.

This is practically what everyone say but you don't understand that it's not so simple. I tried to play Viktor, Brand, Lissandra vs him, sure it's better than playing Ahri or Lux but in fact, i don't play what i want. I feel like i play a champ just to counter another champ. And it's not what i want.

The ones you listed are all picks that are not really suited to face him (except Viktor maybe). Lux and Vel'koz are not a bad choice if you can play around his windwall cd (because there is a high risk of being o%%%%ered by it since all of their basic kit is a projectile).

If you want some picks that I personally find rather solid against him I can give you: Annie AurelionSol Azir Karma Kayle (even though I don't know if we can classify her as ranged) Malzahar Ryze Swain Syndra Xerath Zilean Zoe.

With different degrees of effectiveness, all of these can stand their gorund against him without the need to overwhelmingly outskilling the enemy.

Kayle if your ranged form is always on then y not.. no one uses her without ever pressing E

Indeed. I felt the need to specify because the OP seemed concerned more about the viability of mages rather than ranged characters in general.
