Q.Q so much Yasuo hate...

I've been playing Yasuo since season 4, and he was one of my first 6300 ip champs that I bought. I have gone through many ups and more downs with this champ in the past two years. When he recently started getting a consistent winrate greater than 49% top lane due to discovered synergies in runes and masteries, it felt good to play him after a long time of being slightly below average.

Yeah I admit too his kit is somewhat overloaded, maybe Riot will adjust Yasuo a bit so he's less frustrating to play against. But holy shit Yasuo is a cool-ass redemption-seeking dont-give-a-fuck wandering samurai bad-ass. He is unique and his gameplay is challenging yet fun to master. I think his popularity is a testament to how fucking cool and fun this champ is to play.

Yeah, worse is when the Teemo is either fed or just doing his job and people complain because they don't take advantage of the strategy he can bring to the team. Like him split pushing to force a 4v4 of better or shrooming around to lose/chase enemies.

Lol I guess I'm a hypocrite cuz every time I get a Teemo on my team, I scream internally. XD

Depends what it is. Irelia can be very annoying to face, and she is so linear that it's hard to beat her.

NotCounterAug 1, 20161 votes

the same applies to xin zhao. remember when he got put in the spotlight? the same thing happened, he went from being an average champ with low play rate to what irelia kind of is right now. with or without a nerf irelia will fall back to what she was very soon as people move onto whatever champion is next because that's how the "meta" works

Except he was buffed when he was already strong.

I don't hate him for his personality or anything like that. Its basicly the amount of safty nets he has. His passive, his windwall and the practicly unlimited amount of dashes he can do.

I personally feel like they could change him in a way that he wont be trash, like putting one of his passives (the shield or the double crit) on his ult, which would then scale per point you'd put into it. Like making it as on lv6 his ult would give a crit multiplier of 1.3 on lv 11 a multiplier of 1.6 and on lv 16 the double crit passive.

Which i believe would make his early in midlane less frustrating since he wont be able to blow you up with crits by just having 2 crit items.

Toplane yasuo is another thing tho. they just need to nerf that one way or another because that build on him is just rediculous. His earlier mentioned safty nets are just making it so you wont be able to kill him if you dont focus him. And grasp proc-ing on his tornado makes it even more frustrating to play against.

(p.s.i know this might not sound that impressive, but i do have a lv 5 mastery on him. Just so you know that i did infact have put in the efford to learn him)

I like the scaling points on his ult idea. I enjoy reading other people's ideas on potential changes om Yasuo.

NiaphimJul 31, 20162 votes

He is always hated when he is at least remotely viable. Seriously, fuck this champion. He needs a rework to be less frustrating to play against. Also my personal problem with him is most of his playerbase who are incredibly toxic - probably the same people who play Riven, Fizz, Zed and LeBlanc.

ChaosThiefJul 31, 20162 votes

Yeah... um... I don't think I'm ever going to be liked for my main... even if I despise the tank variant of the build (which I still refuse to do)

Ekko I feel ya.

JerulEonJul 31, 20161 votes

Props to you for not going that annoying build xD. But seriously he excels at being a bruiser/diver rather than an assassin. Like Riot's design goal of "utility assassin" just doesn't mesh well haha

DunkinNoobsJul 31, 20162 votes

Don't worry, it'll pass without changes like it does every time because Riot knows better than to change a well designed champion just to appease a bunch of whiners that can't be bothered to play the game properly.

Don't feel bad. Play what you love.

Even if it means to get hated, at least you still get to have fun [slayer-jinx-wink]

My favorite things to play are things that can tilt the enemy team, peeler supports are good at that.

JerulEonAug 1, 20161 votes

Yeah playing Yasuo is the most fun I have in league.

LOL I can see why you chose your name. Ctrl-4 is the strongest ability on Lulu xD

Athenes LuluAug 1, 20161 votes

Ctrl+6 is better, it's loud, flashy, and lets people know that I'm known to be very annoying because of how much I've played Lulu support.

Though if anything her ingame kit is revolved around "trying to annoy the enemy team": poke and disengage. And if anyone remembers the season 4/5 Lulu mid/top hype that gave lots of Lulu support mains backlash.

I felt the same pain when Vayne became the meta hate, don't worry they'll nerf them into irrelevancy and they'll move onto someone else

Yasuo is hated year round. It really seems more like a day to day things here though, yesterday it was constant gangplank hate threads. A few days ago it was viktor.

L RayquazaJul 31, 20161 votes

Eh, the only time I really hate Yasuo is if I'm playing Jhin mid, you just can't face a Yasuo as Jhin and win

KnoyleJul 31, 20161 votes

If you main Zed Yasuo I'm sorry but not really because nobody likes CertainlyT champions. Look at Kalista She's gutted and everyone still hates her.

JerulEonJul 31, 20161 votes

I've definitely noticed that people have been blaming CertainlyT for his champ designs.

Handin Out NapsJul 31, 20161 votes

CertainlyT didn't make Zed btw.

Yasuo has the longest range suppression in the game, when suppression is normally balanced by how close you have to get to your target to achieve it. And Yasuo, even though he has more mobility than every other champion with a suppression in the game, can do it from across the screen. He can proc suppression off allies or even Baron Nashor. It's just annoying. Also, he's the only champion in the entire League that has AOE suppression.

JerulEonJul 31, 20161 votes

His suppression is only 1 second tho and only conditional with a knock up. Other suppressions are point and click single target and last like 2-3 seconds.
