Stop complaining about Yasuo, he's balanced. here's why

See, the truth of the matter is,

Yasuo was intentionally designed to appear overpowered. This is so many braindead players playing Yasuo will do what he is ACTUALLY best at: feeding.

Sure, he is a bit overwhelming. But Riot did their homework, and the rates of intentionally feeding Yasuo mains even out his "overpoweredness."

Complain all you want, but deep down, if you are an Akali/Talon/any good assassin main: Don't you just love matchups against Yasuo?

No he is disgustingly overpowered.

Yes, not OP most of the time. Extraordinarily annoying confirmed by his high global ban rate since his release.

He might be most balanced flower on earth, but he is ungodly unfun to play against. His kit is UNFAIR to deal with. Why is it so difficult to understand that? Jesus.

Still waiting for a real argument from OP to prove Yasuo is balanced. "Some player cannot play him so he is balanced" is a ridiculous joke, not an argument.

No, his windwall is not balanced, actually it's the most unbalanced ability in the game. Yasuo is the only champ where skill'less silver player could win vs platinum Zilean thanks to windwall.
