Hey, news flash, Yasuo is not OP if you know what you're doing

"Huh, really???? He seems to shred my team at the 30 minute mark after getting the perfect ultimate on my entire team and when he is fed he's so oppressive!"

I'm tired of the Yasuo QQ posts. It seems from my perspective, and this is coming from a silver player, if I know what to do against him he is not hard to beat. Yasuo is good at abusing people who have no idea how to face him, and the boards seem to go apeshit whenever they see posts like this and just begin to massively downvote without looking into the issue. Guess what, you can't run from your problems and expect them to get nerfed just because you don't like face them.

A few pointers to Vs Yasuo that I found: -Tornado provides tons of pressure, fall back if he has it up. -Don't 1v1 Yasuo, he is good at 1v1ing. -Play duelist champions like Fiora Pantheon Jax into him. -Play aggressive early on.

Now can we stop asking for nerfs and actually try to get better at vursing him? Thank you.

Tbh i rarely have games where my team struggles against a yasuo. Ive seen master yi's get fed and 1 v 5 my team 100times more then ive seen yasuo do it

Yi's winrate in every elo is also considerably higher, but if you bring that up here instead of complaining about Yasuo people laugh it off and call you bronzie. (Even though Yi still outperforms Yasuo in plat+)

Say that here and you're likely to get downvotes, even if you speak sense.

Yea unfortunately people avoid all sense when it comes to what opinions they have.

Eh, you got balls dude. You might farm some downvotes, but still, you got balls.

I don't like Yasuo. He can hold his Q in lane for so long zoning a player

Worse, even if you win the lane, he has the ability to win the game because of his insane scaling.

His tornado is way less of a threat than you think it is, you can't really zone anyone with it unless you E closer to them with an enemy minion and then Q, but that might not even hit. Yasuo's tornado is one of the, or not THE slowest moving projectile.

Tbh, at this point I don't think he's good after all the nerfs he's received.

But if he's not the most frustrating champion barring Fiora...

He just ruins my games. Whether he's my top/mid or I lane against him and he just makes the lane uninteractive on the basis that i'm playing your average midlaner and I can't aggress on him or I'll die.

People don't HASAGI, like having to HASAGI, hear HASAGI the same damn HASAGI thing every.. HASGAGI 2 sec- HASAGI -conds

He brings the annoying keep on your toes aspect of laning with a karthus, with the all in potential of an assassin, but doesn't fall off late game like most assassins do. Instead we get the real HASAGI. So it's not about being OP... it's about being annoying at all stages of the game more so than other champs

He is not an assassin. He is a skirmisher, like Fiora and Riven .

I said the all in potential of an assassin, not sure if reading is your strong point

Mannny1 votes

So you're saying Fiora and Riven don't all in when that's what they were designed to do?

Assassins go in, kill the ADC and usually get out. An All in champion goes in and fights anyone who is in front of him whether they are the ADC or not. They use all of their available abilities to disrupt the fight as much as they can. It's like comparing Zed to Yasuo when they perform different tasks in a teamfight. You can't have the "all in potential of an assassin" by not even being an assassin.

He's not OP but he's fucking cancerous.

Be sure that you won't be able to pick him in a game with me because I ban him since release and will continue to do so until his windwall is removed.

You are the type of people I dodge queue for.

Thank you for leaving on your own.

I've laned against so many people with decent IQ who know how to bait and counter windwall in the silver/bronze elo that I have NO idea how so many people complain about it.

i really don't think too many people actually think he's OP. I think most just want him deleted cause he's annoying. He's like teemo. instead of spamming his laugh, he spams hasagi and recall animations. I am prety sure if you did a survey and had the poll go like Do you find Yasuo extremely annoying, overpowered or both, the first bar would probably be bigger than the last two.
