Because he is weak right now. The last nerfs were not needed. That being said the purpose of this is to make yasuo weaker into melee champs top via the lower shield early. (which is a far bigger Nerf then you are allowing for) and allowing him to still survive in lane mid.

he has kept a 60-80% banrate the entire year,and an 80%+pickrate in normal games.Not to mention that not all toplane champions are AD,a lot of tanks deal mostly ap damage.

Of all those champs you listed, i've only seen Cho'Gath, rumble and Swain top and sometimes singed. Gragas plays jungle, i've only seen Nautilus as a support and Shen's damage is mixed, his main damage source is his AAs with some magic damage AA steroids and everyone else is played mid. What are you even on about.

Btw, I see far more AD kennens lately than AP, I actualy don't remember the last time i saw AP kennen being played.

cho mostly plays jungle now. Grag is played top plenty, but mostly in high elo. Kennen is cancer ad or ap, but he is played frequent enough either way. Teemo is popular in lower elos and norms. Here are some that weren't mentioned though Vladimir Mordekaiser Kayle DrMundo Ekko

Kayle is a hybrid champion.

The only ACTUAL hybrid champion. And unless going for burst/AP Kayle, she´ll be dealing both physical and magic damage.

AFK Push1 votes

Technically so is morde and mundo, but all three of them primarily do magic damage. I mean magic resist and health will help more than armor ever would against kayle, but items like omen do help too, just not as much.

Gragas plays jungle

Not just jungle.

i've only seen Nautilus as a support

Just because you´ve seen him in one lane, doesn´t mean he is only intended for that lane.

and everyone else is played mid. What are you even on about.

Yeaaaaah, sure they do, buddy.

https://br.op.gg/champion/lissandra/statistics/top

The only one actually played only mid is Ryze.

luxes isnt so bad cause it just creates zone control. where yas can cast his tornado wherever.

He's not the most banned though

Rainfall3 votes

most banned champion in bronze 70.6%. most banned champion in silver 73.2% second most banned champion in gold 70.3% 4th most banned champion in platinum 64.3%

Remember, even though bronze and silver comprise the overwhelming majority of the playerbase, no one cares what we ban.

That being said, high banrate =/= OP. In Yasuo's case I ban him frequently, but not because he's strong; if anything, I think he's a tad weak right now. I ban him because he is unfun and frustrating to deal with.

I disagree. I don't ban yasuo all the time but the reason why people dislike yasuo and ban him is because he's unfun to play against. Statistically he's balanced but the real problem with him is that he's just unfun. Fizz has the same problem but not as bad.

A. Not the most banned champ.

B. It's a rebalance, not a buff.

After getting passed G3+ I didn't see yas banned much at all Also according to champion.gg, yasuo is only the 2nd most banned right after darius. He's a wasted ban imo

Calabok1 votes

it's a good thing though. this solidifies his position in being banned for sure.

Because CertainlyT made all these op champs, and he plays the game and wants to be op.

It's simply nepotism and lack of fair play, they have all the power so they just do what benefits them, not everyone.

Why necro especially after the nerfs were reverted?

And how is Yasuo OP? And how is certainlyT behind the buff? He works in the design it's unlikely that he'd be the one making the buff
