Why does Yasuo get to ult off of...

TheHypeGoku··12 votes·2,282 views

Other people landing CC? Why is this a mechanic that's never talked about?

Zac dives in and presses R and Yasuo presses R? Gragas presses E and Yasuo gets to press R? Lee just walks up flashes and presses R and Yasuo gets to press R?

His ult should require him to land his ONLY skill shot. Why does he get to be rewarded off of other people landing their sh*t?

I almost feel like this guy would be the kind of person who would complain about a sona ulting him and someone else attacking "why cant you make it so when she stuns you, only she can attack you" >.< lol

Its not a team game or anything you know.

It allows him to not have to use his only knock up to set up his ult. He should be forced to set up his own skill shots. It's not the same thing.

Not like he can't ult without a knock up/displacement

I main Malphite and Jax. Yasuo doesn't knock me up, I knock him down.

Probably because it's a team game, and a knock up is a knock up.

Exactly. It's like saying, "Why does champions like Braum and Nautilus have knock-ups?" It's because they're not only there to provide utility but also because they're there to be a part of a team game. You should know that every champion has their own unique ultimate for a particular purpose.

why can't yasuo use his ult to begin with? Why is he one of a few champions in the game (other than gnar?? who else) that has a limitation on when he can and cant ult?

Maybe because it extends knockups, is a nuke, and also gives him armor pen, while being on a short cooldown?

Nah that couldn't possibly be it.

its barely close to a nuke, not even lee sin level, gives armor pen on crits and you wont have 100% crit at level 6 (not to mention its only 50% BONUS armor pen) with its cooldown at lux level CD while it only extends knockups for 1 sec

you can be sarcastic all you want, im not trying to be rude but you shouldnt twist something

I agree. Yasuo's ult is nowhere near to being a nuke. It's only when you feed a Yasuo and/or allow him to build some of his core items such as Statikk Shiv, Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster etc. super early. That's when his ult will do a lot of damage especially if you're playing as ADC.

The reason behind why you made this thread is understandable. It happens to all of us. We all get beat by a Yasuo player at one point in our lives but, that doesn't mean Yasuo is considered to be "op" or "busted" or whatever. Don't get me wrong, I'm just giving you my honest opinion.

I mean if we want to compre champion ult's which are supposed to nuke to lee sin then a lot of chanmpions pale in comparison. It's really hard to beat 200/400/600 + 2.0 times AD plus percent health damage.

His ult has no weaknesses besides needing someone to be knocked up. That is his weakness.

I showed you its weaknesses, and im not gonna repeat it

Your name says it all.

well yeah because i would know his ult weaknesses since i main him lol

And they say he has a "high skillcap". Lol

I dont get why he can ult off Velkoz e? Which is programmed to behave as a stun not airborne cc in terms of tenacity...

Spicy Rice1 votes

Last I checked, it's a knock up/knock back

Hellpyre1 votes

It's actually a "Suspension", according to the wiki, which is still an Airborne effect, just one that is affected by tenacity. Plus it has a knockback against closer enemies. It and the Nami bubble are both working as intended with Yasuo.

Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying

To be fair, it's extremely hard to ult off knock backs. You need to be spamming r right when it happens to have a chance of ulting

Double the ult's damage and you have a deal.

I can't tell if this thread is serious or not.

It's a team game supposedly.

Last time I checked, using teamwork is a good thing...

Lol.

to be fair, most other champions can just press r without any additional requirement.

For example, Karthus.

I don't mind this interaction...however, why does Yasuo's R have 1200 range? If he is going to piggyback off of another champion's skill, then he should at least be closer (like 800 or so).

Yaśuo Main1 votes

1200 is actually pretty short if you play yasuo for a while

you'd usually have to flash in certain scenarios, and i wouldnt like the nerf because it doesnt touch the actualy spot where he needs to be nerfed
