Yasuo is just such an OP champion, and his farming capabilties make him a monster. In games where I play against or with him, hes one of those champs that, mana-less, can just farm till the end of time. You can put them at a major disadvantage but he just catches up because of the BS skill set, cool down, and damage he does.
Some champions are OP but not ridiculous like Zed, Fizz, and Ekko, but yasuo is just wayy too strong,.
Nameless Voice3 votesThe problem isn't really that he's OP per se, it's just that he has one of the most toxic kits in the entire game. He has a tool to negate pretty much anything a lot of champions can do to him. It's almost impossible for him to lose his lane against a huge subset of champions (basically, anyone who uses skillshots and projectiles is at a huge disavantage against him.)
From a purely "balance" point of view, he's theoretically "balanced", because he has as many really bad matchups as he has hardcountering matchups, but that doesn't change the fact that he's one of the most frustrating champions to deal with in the entire game.
Being OP is a numerical problem, fairly easily fixed. Having a horribly-designed kit is a much harder problem to fix. Especially when Riot haven't even acknowledged it in the last 3 years.
Spicy Rice1 votesCan I just point out that windwall has 22 sec cd at its first rank, and since (good) yasuo players don't normally buy cdr by choice, it generally stays at that cd due to it being maxed last.
So if you are losing matches against yasuo, and basing it off the fact he can negate projectiles every 22 secs, then you obviously aren't even trying to play against yasuo
Nameless Voice2 votesIt's not windwall alone that makes Yasuo no fun to play against as a projectile-user.
It's the fact that he can dodge all your skillshots really easily with his no-cooldown dash, then if you do manage to hit him he still has his shield, and finally if you try to use a big projectile (e.g. your ultimate) he can block it with his windwall. He basically has three defensive moves that are extremely affective against mages. In order to actually deal any real damage to him, you have to a) pop his shield with an autoattack b) bait his windwall c) catch him outside of your minions or somehow manage to predict him well enough to hit him at the end of his dash.
Compare that to a normal champion where you just have to hit your spells.
Add the fact that he's manaless, AD, and quite good at push/farming, so you also have the added problem of most likely needing to use a lot of spells/mana to deal with the minion wave as well.
Finally, he (usually) picks Warlord's Bloodlist, allowing him to heal back some of that hard-won damage fairly easily.
theonlyaustin1 votesHe's really not though.......
fullbacks632 votesHe is a champion with HUGE farm capability. I played pantheon against him and killed him 10 times under his turret in early game up to 15 minutes. He can just get static shiv though and clear whole waves of minions with one basic attack where as pantheon I have to E the waves multiple times and last hit.
I finished his tower and the second tower, then went on to helping my team and he just free farmed jg. I could go back but one of my lanes needed my help to push because it was a stalemate.
I still kept going back to shut him down every now and then but he was teleporting bot and killing my adc and support (jinx and lux) before I could come to go save them. He has a double cs% so where jinx needs 3 items to match his stats, he needs 2.
theonlyaustin1 votesAll I'm seeing is somebody who needs to git gud.

fullbacks631 votesWeb MD, Symptoms of Sore Loser Syndrome: Unable to maintain focus on current discussion at hand, and will change the topic to turn the tables in his/her favor. Any accumulation of loss causes paranoia.
theonlyaustin1 votesSuch as your loss to Yasuo? Hello!
fullbacks631 votesNo your inability to stay on topic and pick on grammar. Noob
Spicy Rice1 votesSo what you are saying, is that whole you did stomp him in lane, you had to go help your team, and he took that opportunity to farm, and apparently had decent enough map awareness to teleport for some kills.
That isn't a yasuo problem, as almost any champ can come back from a stomping, given they had a lot of time and had good tp plays ( which it looked like Yas had both)
