looks like it time to perma ban him lol

he was trash anyway

Honestly, in diamond I'll probably still ban him because his early game damage is actually pretty ridiculous. I'm suprised people complain about yasuo's early game when champs like fiora and master yi have more damage early and scale about as good as yasuo.

Because neither yi nor fiora is as annoyingly mobile as yasuo nor do they have an obnoxious passive shield and windwall that negatives thousands of damage.

Eh, his Alpha strike can be very obnoxious.

Thats because you've never played against a great master yi

WylderthanuJan 28, 20171 votes

Yasuo doesn't have as much mobility as champs like fiora and riven arguably because he can't escape because he needs a target to dash through. He can only go in. And his shield can be popped with an auto attack and windwall can be easily baited and played around. It's all about how you play against him.

ganking an Yi is easy Ganking Yasuo ain't that much

WylderthanuJan 28, 20171 votes

agree with you on ganking master but yasuo I disagree. Yasuo is one of the easiest champs to counter because he has no escape except his windwall which can be baited out. Master yi atleast has his ult to move fast and negate slows. Ganking yasuo with a point click cc or a red buff is very easy but even someone like a lee gankiing yasuo you just ward hop up to him and slow him and keep autoing until his windwall is baited out. That's why you always have feeding yasuos. He's easy to gank and a champ that people like to go aggressive with.

what makes well experienced yasuo easier to escape from ganks is

his infinite mobility through enemies
while dashing he can charge a tornado and CC his opponents
his shield protects him from burst and is doubled with ult used

Yasuo got very low CD on his Q especially if he gets AS he would almost always have at aleast 1 stack in Tempest. With all his dashes and charges he can cc his opponents, Ult them and dash away from ganks

Meanwhile what Yi would do? His shitty ass ult is nearly useless early game. Get boots and you counter Yi's Mobility not to mention how easy is for his opponents to harass him. Once he goes in there is almost no way he can go back pretty much like a diver. Yi's Highlander with Ghost is weaker than Ekko's Passive movement boost

 It's not infinite mobility and his only mobility is through enemy targets which doesn't help him escape unless he jukes you in which a good yasuo is most likely in a higher elo where people know how to bait out abilities and use attack click so that they aren't missing their clicks. But he still could potentially outplay them.

 Yasuo shield can be destroyed before the gank even starts by the laner just tossing an auto attack his way. If yasuo ends up ulting you for another shield he is most likely losing more distance from his tower unless you are behind him and he ults you. The extra shield he gets usually isn't worth it because he just put himself farther away from the turret and is still taking damage from either the laner or jungler assuming that he doesn't ult both because higher elo players know to split up when yasuo has his wind up unless he outplays them.

 I'll give it to you that his wind can negate a gank if he knocks up a jungle and then windwalls a cc ability from the mid laner but that's why you gank him when he just used wind or you have some point click cc or you dodge his 3rd 1 which isn't very hard tbh. 
 
 You gotta understand that even high elo yasuo's feed and that it's not just the bad yasuo's that feed. Yasuo is known for getting camped because of how free the ganks are, but the yasuo player does have the chance to outplay the gank. If you have red buff there is almost no chance he will out play the gank though.

The buff helps him clear, but they buffed jg camps too so...

YagoJan 25, 20171 votes

I think these buffs are inaccessible to those in low Elo.

They probably couldn't handle the AA reset on Meditate to begin with, so they'll probably be doing even worse by baiting themselves into using Meditate at bad moments to try and pause durations / gain Double-Strike stacks.
