I just don't get it ... everytime I see that champion he just runs a tear through everyone ... he deals SOOO much damage for entirely no reason. Basically if he isn't banned he wins every damn time. And I cannot defeat this man in a lane ever its virtually impossible ... He has lane dominance from the second he enters a lane. Dash dash auto auto dash out ... dash dash auto Q dash dash .... its like wtf can u do the man has a shield moves at the speed of light and deals massive damage even from level 1 or 2 ... How does Riot feel hes balanced ? I get so frusterated when I see that my team does not ban him .... And him simply being chosen makes me want to dodge that game.

I am only a gold level player so I do not feel like I can just say ya yasuo op please nerf and expect Riot to actually listen ... so I am asking for help on how to fight this terror ... I mean I am literally becoming depressed just fighting this dude. On my smurf I just went on a 7 game losing streak ... 3 of the games had Yasuo in them and he was double digit kills with single digit deaths. I dunno if its just because we have children on because it was easter or what but its one of the worst losing streaks I have ever had.

Please give me tips on how to fight him in lane and out of lane. I am just tired of always losing to that champion ... I wish Riot would level him out a bit .. he feels like he has no weak points .. for a champion who's been nerfed many times hes still soo very strong its astonishing.

Survive his level 2 and 6. How you do that is up to who and how you play.

I assume he falls off late but I've never went against a lategame yasuo because he's strong enough to end at 20 mins

There are 2 types of yasuos, ones that will outplay themselves and ones that actually know how to play the champion. If they don't outplay themselves /ff cause they'll go 12/1

Minion wave timers on his dash are something to make note of. Clear out waves or only leave a few so he has to REALLY choose how to advance and retreat. A full minion wave gives Yasuo a reliable engage and escape with his E, as well his easy Q procs. Wind wall is also small at early ranks and at a long CD, so if you bait it you can easily play around it. If you can't and he uses it to engage, immediately retreat and try to kite if the option is available. His barrier is also so easy to get rid of, requiring a single auto attack to remove it before you engage yourself.

If you want, you can add me in-game and we can do a 1v1 or two so you can learn some tricks for playing against him.

If I see him top lane, I usually pick Renekton. I just play safe until level 3. There are lots of APCs that counter him mid lane. Akali Katarina Malzahar just to name a few.

You can play a lane bully and end the game fast or he will recover and draintank your damage, you can pick Kayle or Annie to counter him or you can just ban him if you wanna have 0 chance of finding him. I normally use Poppy too. But in the end, even if you manage to not to feed him, he will simply kill some of of your teammates and 1v1 anyone. That's it. As I said, simply ban him if you don't want to find him because he is in every normal game.

I just don't get it ... everytime I see that champion he just runs a tear through everyone ... he deals SOOO much damage for entirely no reason.

compared to any other hard carry No

and his early game past lvl 2 and 3 is garbage unlike things like fiora and riven

Basically if he isn't banned he wins every damn time.

50% win rate

lul?

And I cannot defeat this man in a lane ever its virtually impossible

that's your problem, it's you, not the entire league community. yasuo has a balanced win rate and yasuo mains win 56% of the games which is again balanced compared to other champions

... He has lane dominance from the second he enters a lane. Dash dash auto auto dash out

are you talking as a mage main, or a bruiser main? as a mage i can get it yasuo was made to counter ranged champion

as a bruiser you can assert lane dominance at lvl 1 against yasuo, his trash base stats compensate his shield that has 30 sec cd if you do the math (assuming yasuo moves everytime) his Q cast time is huge in early game yasuo can only cheese at lvl 2

... dash dash auto Q dash dash .... its like wtf can u do the man has a shield moves at the speed of light and deals massive damage even from level 1 or 2 ...

he doesn't move at the speed of light, his dash is slow unlike fiora and can be stopped by ccs, his base movement speed is high because melee champions should be faster than ranged champions

and he doesn't deal massive damage, his base ad is 55 which is below the average of melee champions, his Q adds 20 damage

How does Riot feel hes balanced ?

read above

so I am asking for help on how to fight this terror ...

Please give me tips on how to fight him in lane and out of lane.

i already told you above if you pick a mage into yasuo you deserve to lose, mages shouldn't win against everyone

if you pick Renekton and Darius into him who happens to have 5% more win rate against him and still loses, i can't help you

Just take something that will blow him up

Annie Anivia tends to work well Kat

In top lane pick a strong melee like Darius renekton or illaio

In teamfifhts don't let him land huge knock up

But I generally agree, he scales really good for being a bully in lane. Yet, riot allows that
