You know what I don't get?

How people stupidly polarized this board is.

Somehow you create a Lee is strong/annoying/overloaded thread you gets hundreds of upvotes. 47.1% win rate. 4.6% pick rate. 12.5% ban rate.

You create a Yasuo needs nerfs thread and you get down voted into oblivion. 50% win rate. 4.9% pick rate. 53.3% ban rate.

So why is it that the one with a higher pick rate and much higher ban rate that I literally ban just so I don't see him every game is balanced. Yet somehow the one that has lower across the board stats is the one that people want nerfed?

Seriously guys whenever I post here I'm at a loss at where you guys stand. I feel like I completely understand why everyone hates Lee, yet isn't really that broken (maybe because I have mained him in the past and I am very used to his patterns and how to play around him).

Yet I have no comprehension how Yasuo doesn't need nerfs when literally everyone bans him because he is a pain in the ass to play against if you are any form of ranged and requires him to fuck up to lose. There really isn't much to play around with against Yasuo. You have to play perfectly or you lose if you don't hard counter him.

And watch it rain downvotes of people who just hate champs or love them instead of actually thinking about the health of the game or learning to play around them.

"You create a Yasuo needs nerfs thread and you get down voted into oblivion."

When does that ever happen around here?

never. nerf yasuo threads come with 4 free up-votes around here, same as jhin threads.

Jhin threads require perfection

this is not a jhin thread and also you lack the required number of upvotes.

I was simply in replying to why Jhin threads have 4 up votes.

It sounds like the problem with you is trying to appease everyone and that you get personally affected by downvotes. People give downvotes very easily so don't take it to heart, and be true to yourself as long as you have the justification. From there you'll be untouchable.

That literally has nothing to do with it. Literally I feel like the boards have some fucking mental disorder where they either forget about or change their mind every day. One day everyone fucking hates Yasuo. Next day no one gives a shit. And the sad thing is, that while Yasuo seems to be swept under the rug nonstop he is in a much worse state than Lee and people have the audacity to bitch about him being overpowered.

My biggest gripe with the boards is that they seem to bitch about champs that aren't problems and want them gutted and it seems like for some reason tha'ts the way to get upvotes and if you go against it its like no one supports you and it basically starts a snowball effect. It doesn't seem like people will go against the flow. And by getting downvoted no matter how good your argument is, you basically will never get attention from Riot.

I mean I have seen people get hundreds of upvotes for saying the see Lee in every game. Yet I haven't seen him in one of my games for almost 20 games.

But then again, the Boards are as inconsistent as the people who log in every day and view/participate in them. The Boards are technically a 'group' of people, a 'group' where you never know how many people are in it, who is in it and when whoever leaves or enters. Consistency just isn't a thing. What you can be consistent with is yourself, and that's all that matters, because in the end of the day, LoL is a game and you alone control your gameplay. And I think that's a really cool thing. Even in a community where everything is unpredictable and unstable, the most steadfast element is yourself, as long as you stay true to yourself.

Well, you can always expect Sorakas Tits, like three different people with Arya in their name, five Morde mains, and that group of angry DotA2 fans to show up. So there is at least some consistency there. :^)

The only Yasuo nerf thread i have seen recently get downvoted to oblivion was one with the title "So when is Yasuo getting nerfed" a day after this patch went live.

To be fair, seeing Lee Sin picked almost every game in the worlds if he wasn't banned was making me think he should get nerfed, too.

And that Riot was showing that they are intentionally keeping him strong above average because he "brings interesting plays to the worlds" while other champions get nerfed because "they had their time in the spotlight" didn't really make it better.

See the things is that yasuo and lee sin are over balanced AKA They have so many weird things in their kit that it is a nightmare to balance for both Pro and Solo play. Even if lee sin has a 30% winrate, people would still ban him, because people who are good at him wil still completely dominate everyone else.
