The only reason Yasuo does not have the highest pick rate is because he has the highest ban rate.

66.66% ban rate and climbing daily. Still topping the win rate chart too. Isn't it about time for that hotfix?

Why would we hotfix a champion 12 hours before his official nerfs and bugfix? (IMO he should have been fixed much earlier but continuing to make these posts hours before he get's his fix is a tad ridiculous)

It is quite unfortunate that they didnt disable or hotfix Yasuo at all.

I am not even sure if he needs all these nerfs. The bug is the main reason he has been such a problem recently.

Marshbouy11 votes

he needed the nerfs that he is currently getting. He was 53% winrate with a 14% playrate for a long time, which is something that shows there is a balance issue. the bug pushed him over the top though.

I don't see why people think this bug was disable worthy though. I hate Yasuo about as much as anyone else, but I can't imagine a good reason to disable him.

One doesn't need a good reason to disable Yasuo. Any reason will do.

as someone who plays a fair bit of yasuo, I personally think rito has been getting better lately, targeting scalings, utility, etc instead of just dmg these new buffs aren't going to make tank yasuo comepletely ded like old tank ekko, but itll tone him down to where u actually need to decide, dmg or tank, not, oh, they are strong, I should get tank items and still shit on their adc.

  1. 66.66 exact number or devil joke? XD
  2. I'm sick and tired of ppl complaining about his ult cd, yes it is very low, but even if it is, u need a knock up. "Oh, but there are over 60 (estimate) knock ups in the game" and how many of those can u fit on a teamcomp built fully around yasuo [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Ok, there are a couple problems with that argument. First of all, Yasuo isn't meant to build tank. He is crit based. People shouldn't abuse the non crit build. Second of all, it's bruiser, not tank. Tank is like Nautilus. And the bruiser item she is building are not getting nerfed, meaning bruiser Yasuo will still be strong. Finally, it's not the ult CD we are complaining about. It's the double AA bug after he ult we want patched.

ah, thanks for clearing that up, in that case 1) yes, u have a point there 2) when I say tank, I mean the meta build everyones been bitching aobut, I know the difference between brusier and tank 3) double aa, well that's just a bug :P i mentioned ult cd becuz a lot of ppl have been bitching about it recently 0.o

Why are you forcing Nautilus into a gender binary? Maybe Nautilus identifies as agender, you sexist pig. /s

item she is building are not

The sentence does not even make sense read as it is because of the plural verb "are" and the singular noun "item". It is clearly a typo. "Item she" should be "items he". (And the "he" is referring to Yasuo, not Nautilus.)

No they think that the root of his increased winrate (a very bad bug that just gives him a free extra auto attack) merits a hotfix.

Congrats on having no clue what is going on before you make dumb comments.

DunkinNoobs7 votes

No, I have a clue. Leona was bugged with a longer than intended stun duration on her Q. She had a 57% winrate that patch. Not disabled. Sona's W was bugged and able to be cast instantly after her E. 56% winrate that patch. Not disabled. Garens villain passive was bugged to deal 1% true damage based off his own health instead of the enemies health. 56% winrate that patch. Not disabled. Brands ult was bugged to always bounce to enemy champions instead of only when already blazed. 58% winrate as a support that patch. Not fucking disabled.

So yeah, I know what I'm talking about. It appears you're the one that doesn't have a clue.

And you think people didn't want any of that hotfixed ? . . .

DunkinNoobs7 votes

I come to these boards every day. I don't recall ever seeing a single thread asking to disable any of those champions. I've seen several asking to disable Yasuo. I can only conclude you guys are biased against Yasuo and that Riot should ignore your whining.

GayFluffyUnicorn4 votes

The reason is mostly that rather easy champs like brand, sona and leona are always kinda good to pick up . Champs like yasuo are meant to need skill and practice to do well, yet his average winrate is 55% with more than 20% playrate together with his bullshit kit and build.

ValiantDogFood3 votes

Yasuo is played far more, and a 55% winrate is too high. I've only seen a champ go over 57 when they are super op freelo, and 55 is not super far behind.

I have played long enough to see FAR less get hotfixed and disabled. I've seen champions get disabled from visual bugs that don't impact play AT ALL. I've seen champions get disabled from things people didn't even know was an issue before or after the champions was disabled.

I'm pretty sure an already high winrate and the most popular champion as far as playrate, 100% warranted being disabled at the VERY least.

Anyone that argues otherwise is either abusing Yasuo, or is just arguing for the sake of being bored because it's obvious he should have been disabled seeing that this went on for 2 weeks and his winrate rose a decent amount in that time.

Yet every Yasuo is bad unless they main him?

Spaceman5pff3 votes

That is the issue.

A healthy state of Yasuo would likely have around a 46-48% overall winrate because of all the shitty non-mains.

That's because of the stupid items, not the bug.

GayFluffyUnicorn9 votes

When champions like ekko and yasuo can just abuse all sorts of builds and still do good it is the items fault? Nice logic mate. It's actually their disgusting broken kits but each totheir own.

VvVVvV1 votes

Then why is it that everytime a champ falls below %50, the league cries for buffs...but then when that same champ goes over %50 the league cries for nerfs?...........its because no matter what changes are made the league is never happy. There is always going to be a thread made about so and so needs a buff...so and so needs a nerf. They can literally give the majority of the community agreed upon changes to a champ and you will see a new post crying for changes to another champ that same day.

Spaceman5pff2 votes

Because the "league" doesn't know shit generally speaking.

You could show them a dog turd and they would say it is an apple.

Difficult champions SHOULD have a sub 50 winrate. Easy champions should have an above 50 winrate. There is a few % in either direction that is acceptable.

ValiantDogFood3 votes

There are about 30 Champs I believe that actually need buffs, as they are below a 45%winrate (for me the healthy range is about 45-53%)

It's funny because 2 different sites put him second (and third) in ban rate and still under 60%
