Yasuo Needs Nerfs

Lemons22··4 votes·456 views

He is seriously the vayne of fighters...he is just stupid. The amount of games I have witnessed him carry, both on my own team and the opposing team, is ridiculous. The thing about him is he doesn't really have to take risks...once you're fed you can just sit back and throw tornadoes or wait for someone else to knock up, and BAM you've just killed 2-3 people, but even in duels his ult doesn't really matter...he can miss his knockup completely and he'll still easily waste you with a few Qs and autos.

I hear a ton of people complaining that Yasuo is underpowered and that he doesn't work at the highest levels of play...well then why do we see him in LCS? Why can Voyboy go from unranked to D1 on his stream with ONLY YASUO...blindly picking him into every matchup? This champion seriously needs his power trimmed in some fashion...simply because he has a fairly even winrate (probably because his skill cap is quite high) doesn't mean he should be allowed to rampage.

I totally agree, I hate him. His Windwall can block anything even Ultimate...i mean whats the point of an Ult if it can be blocked by a normal ability?

He's a melee champ but his abilities have more range than most mages auto attacks , he has a shield, super moment and cc. With AD Life steal, he can self sustain in lane, with no mana while his opponents have to have pots or keep going back for mana.

Most unfair champ in the game.

You realize most ults can be blocked by a normal ability (Sivir E, Nocturne E, Vladimir W), or even walking out of them (Morgana R, Zyra R)?

His abilities have reasonable range. Q has 475 range in a thin line skillshot, E has 475 range and requires multiple targets to reach ranged champions, and R has 1200 range but requires a knock up to even start. Most mages can autoattack harass or spell harass safely from outside his range. Also, complaining about lifesteal? Will of the Ancients and spellvamp were literally just buffed, and most mages already rush mana regen to stay in lane forever. This is a time when spellvamp is actually not entirely shitty.

That title still goes to Poppy and her 8 second "I can't be harmed or peeled by anyone except one person while I murder your carries".

Honestly, comparing windwall to a spell shield is kind of dumb...to block an ulti like Ashe Arrow with a spell shield you have to stand right in front of it. There is a chance that it can miss you and at least go on to hit another enemy. Wind wall is so big that as long as the Ashe isn't a complete spaz and throws the arrow in Yasuo's general direction...a good Yasuo player will windwall it...not only protecting himself but his entire team. Also Spellshields will only block one ability...Yasuo's windwall is so much better than a spellshield it's not even funny.

All that said I think windwall is fine, it's definitely not my biggest issue with Yasuo. I have much bigger problems with his insane damage output and how easy it is for him to snowball.

The problem with Yas is that in some team comps, he is unbeatable. In other comps, he is pretty meh unless he gets ahead. He really needs rework more than nerfs.
