I'm getting so tired of every game being destroyed by a Yasuo

Every game is the same. You can't harass him because of his shield. You can't land anything big or CC him for a gank because of his wall. If he does get ganked, the jungler actually provides him a path of escape thanks to his E. Even if you somehow get a few kills on him it doesn't matter because he is guaranteed to get every minion kill anyway and he will scale through the roof later in the game.

No matter what you do, you are going to lose to a skilled Yasuo. The only way his win rate gets dragged down is by first-timers trying him out and feeding. Yes, it takes skill to play this champion, there is no denying this. But skill should not mean he is allowed to be so absurdly strong. He is toxic to the game and needs a redesign.

One simple change would be to just delete his flow shield. Now he can play safe early at least and be forced to farm under tower instead of totally dominating every opponent.

I've personally had success against Yasuo with Morgana Kayle and XinZhao(yes, in lane, not as a jungler) believe it or not. One of these days I want to learn Kassadin and see how he stacks up against yasuo.

I had to start perma-banning him. Zero counterplay, never weak, borderline impossible to gank, insane 1v1, insane teamfight potential - lovely recipe for disaster. Best anyone can do is not feed him and hope your teamfight has enough lockdown to stop him.

I will upvote the XinZhao - I have also done that with some success, but if he somehow gets a kill or two, well... you know the rest.

There are probably good counters to every champ, if not most of them, Yas is no exception. I play jg and run a very off meta build Glacial Augment Warwick. Yas crumples like paper against GA Warwick. Tiamat + boots/ Berserkers Greaves on first backs, get Wardens mail them bork after. Ezpz Yas destruction will day long.

Yasuo is in a ok spot atm. It's funny people complaining about yasuo when there are champs that are way more broken. I guess he can be frustrating but he's not "BROKEN" and there are many champions yasuo is bad into.
