Predict Yasuo's winrate in 4.18!

HumanPerfect··3 votes·3,492 views

Yasuo

BASE HEALTH 512 => 462 BASE MOVEMENT SPEED 350 => 340

He's consistantly been sitting pretty low for a while now. Currently, in North America he has a 46.75% winrate, which is overall the 17th lowest winrate of all champions in a game of 121 champions.

At the time of this post he has a:

34.67% winrate in Challenger 42.62% winrate in Diamond 44.33% winrate in Platinum 45.59% winrate in Gold 48.70% winrate in Silver 49.08% winrate in Bronze

I know that winrate is not an end-all indicator of champion balance, but I do think that the numbers are interesting. I always here people say "oh, well he's completely OP in the hands of people who know what they're doing!" yet the winrate actually goes down the higher you go in divisions. I mean, I'd like to think Challenger players "know that they're doing" more than any of the payers from the other divisions.

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions here, but I can't help but to think that the majority of people who whine about Yasuo are lower in the elo spectrum. But this is just a theory, as I am no means a pro at this game.

But yeah, anyways, take a guess. Who knows, the winrate could shoot up since it'll probably only me diehard Yasuo mains playing the champ after these nerfs.

Those who complain about Yasuo are simply the ones who cannot adapt to unique kits.

Rest assured, there are a plethora of available champions capable of inflicting them rage even after Yasuo is nerfed.

Take my word with a pinch of salt as a Yasuo main (66 to 80% win rate) if you will, Yasuo is not the problem, they are.

It will still be much higher than it needs to be.

His winrate? He already seems underperforming. At least Riot's put it off a while and the nerfs aren't as large as most of the raging community keeps screaming for.

Lower than it is.

43% or something like that. He' wasn't good to start with and he just got worse. Why people banned him is a headscratcher for sure.

In my opinion, most people who play yasuo are toxic, which is probably why he usually loses even if he's overpowered. He's like the modern day Riven

Truly? I have met perhaps only one toxic Yasuo so far. (Whom I proceeded to decimate as I was the better Yasuo.)

In my records, the most toxic players often main easier champions such as Yi, WW or Vayne. Amongst my friends and I, only two of us play Yasuo. I think I am a relatively positive person; I have never accosted another player on chat no matter how bad he or she may be doing.

As for my friend, he is literally the most altruistic person I know of.

I believe that calling out on those who mains a supposedly OP champion is a biased school of thought. It can likely be attributed to the fact that the mass hysteria against said champion in addition to one of two negative experiences skewed one's perception towards that champion.

I have yet to see anyone prove the theory whereas one can determine another's mindset by examining the champion the other person mains.

The only exception to above rule is Teemo. Those who main Teemo enjoys watching the world burn.

More people know how to play him at high levels, but even more people know how to counter him. -shrug-

Can I get a confirmation that the OP is changing the images? I swear that I am not going crazy.

I think it'll go up, because less people will play him thinking that the nerf was too strong.

First off, the stats you are posting are based on his win rate TODAY. Not even how he was over this patch, or over the month, just how he's been today. That can fluctuate drastically in Challenger simply based on who's playing Yasuo today.

For comparison, loldb.gameguyz.com has Yasuo's win rate pegged at 49.44% on Yasuo over the past month in Challenger. As an interesting fact, Urgot has a 44.68% in that same skill bracket.

The Challenger one is the one that varies. Outside of that though they're usually really stable unless something drastic happens. You still see a trend of it going down as you go up.

Predicting a 43% win rate. And a 70% ban rate, because soloq takes fucking forever to figure out that champions are bad.
