Yasuo is still op and lacks counterplay

I don't get why this champion does some of the most damage and is the most mobile and resourceless. Where's the tradeoff? Was it supposed to be his crits dealing 10% less? But all that aside the serious counterplay problems he has are mainly: -If you're an adc or somebody with ranged attacks, you can not out duel him thanks to his W. He will always win and there is nothing you can do about it -If you're squishy and get pecked by that 900 range tornado past 20 minutes, you're instantly dead. -If you're not squishy, he doesn't care. Most built in armor pen of any champion by far. Piercing crits are impossible to defend against. -Knockup CC

You do know there are ranged champions that bias his shield and thrive on him being close right. Like Mordekaiser, Mordekaiser wrecks his shit.

-If you're squishy and get pecked by that 900 range tornado past 20 minutes, you're instantly dead.

Dodge the tornado then, and he is good at picking off squishy targets, all melee ADCs are, the only one that isn't isn't viable.

-If you're not squishy, he doesn't care. Most built in armor pen of any champion by far. Piercing crits are impossible to defend against.

As long as he isn't fed, dueling Yasou is pretty easy and the crits do a lot less then other melee ADCs, they just happen more often early game.

if you're talking bout a straight up duel yasuo actually cant duel much of anyone without being haximumly fed he's certain not a duelist, relies on mobility and out plays and hit and run

first rule in league, never chase singe second rule in league, never chase yasuo
