Ok.. Im gonna "try" to share some input about all the Yasuo hype recently. (coming from a yas main)
Ok, well where do I begin? Yasuo is has recently been accused as overpowered, Due to his mobility, being resourceless, Windwalls, etc...
A little bit about me, you can skip this part of you want. I found Yasuo on free week once. Found his whole design to be really great actually, he was one of the first true champions I ever really loved due to everything, From the design to the kit, Ill admit. I didnt not know how the hell to play this champion, I watched a few videos to learn how, Tried dashing everywhere and doing damage... but anyway anyway.. the more I played Yasuo the more I learned about his matchups, what he can do.
And I came to the conclusion in my head that Yasuo was made to counter ap mids, basically. Thats his job pretty much. Juke out their spells, maybe block a few with windwall. use their cooldowns as an opportunity to attack back, thats the thrill of Yasuo, you could almost call him a counter pick to most ap mids.. And as much as I hate hit and click champions, Yasuo isn't one of them, and you sure won't learn him overnight.
SO, anyway, how do you beat Yasuo...
well you pick a bruiser, even someone tanky against him, Why? because Yasuo cannot deal with these champs.. hell even riven would beat his ass. No, really.. Why? Because (and read my lips) Yasuo. has. to. get. CLOSE. to. you. And no Yasuo would ever get close to a Pantheon, Darius, Garen, Etc. this is also why Riven has a hard time against these matchups.. Ive beaten a Yasuo with my good old boy Shen no problem.
So i mean yeah, and also a few more things, Yasuo isn't really reliable.. err.. half the time, and coming from a yasuo main I will tell you this.. allot.. and I mean allot of Yasuo mains are cocky as hell..
No really, they see faker dash around on youtube and get the 5 man ult with that damn dubstep music and and they try to do the same, I spectate pro games sometimes and I still see them do bad, He's just not that reliable half the time..
Now on to the final point, People say if he has a malphite or wukong on the team he's still op. now this coming from a yasuo main, It pains me to say I can agree on it, The only nerf I could ever give Yasuo is the ability to only ult off his own tornados.
That is all, not looking to really make a point, Im just giving input, maybe have a discussion.. I dunno :p Hopefully I wrote a decent enough thread for you all XD
