Why does riot refuses to nerf yasuo ??

BenneCloff·Aug 3, 2016·16 votes·5,779 views

In a few words "The fcking champ is bull shit" Easy as fck to play, wrecks havoc out of everything. You guys nerfed Jax to ground, a good counter to yas. I barely see jax anymore.

The poor guy was nerfed so hard, but you guys still refuse to nerf yasuo. Every third bronze player has level 7 mastery on him.

Atleast remove that god damn shield. So that he becomes atleast targetable. His fucked up passive is already a poison "Double Crit" bull shit.

A yas with Trinity force and full tank, wrecked our whole party. Mid fed like hell to him. It was totally over in 10 mins.

Nerf Yasuo please. He really needs it.

I take it you've never actually played Yasuo

MarshbouyAug 3, 20166 votes

Because "the champ is bull shit" is not a viable argument for them getting nerfed.

In what world is yasuo easy?

In what world does every 3rd bronze player have mastery 7 on him???????

So you midlaner sucked and you blamed it on OP champ? ok.

Your arguments were terrible, what makes it even funnier though is that meddler has stated that they are looking for nerfs for him. He was pretty vague about it, nothing big yet, but they were looking at him.

And if they are going to need him, it'll probably be along the lines of Arkadata's suggestion to lower the base damage on q and increase the ad scaling

think auto correct changed nerf to need XD

Spicy RiceAug 3, 20161 votes

Yep XD

I'm wondering if they make on hit effects apply with reduced damage on his Q. The real issue right now is trinity force being a bit strong on him. too strong.

Spicy RiceAug 3, 20161 votes

If they were to reduce the effectiveness of on hits on his q, they'd probably have to increase the damage his crits do on his q :/

The argument was his counterplay in the mid lane, is frustrating, there isn't a whole lot. I almost always pick lb or annie into yasuo because it's easier to beat brainless champions with a brainless champion. He is extremely mobile, gets double crit, a shield scaling with movement speed (p. sure there are quite a few items that make that passive even more annoying i.e statik) His q/aa range is actually kind of ridiculous, not to mention his tornado is not hard to land, in the slightest, and good news, if he does miss it, the cooldown is low and he wont go oom. The point is many resourceless champions are ridiculous right now/ very weak right now. They see katarina and say "|oh she doesn't use mana, so nerf her" Then see yasuo and say nothing. It isn't that yasuo is necessarily broken, it's that in the mid lane, you have to be walking on eggshells to avoid the full build pentakill that is yasuo. And the primary reason it is unbalanced, is that he has no weak spot in the game, farming is easy as shit for him, so early game is completely easy and strong on his end. And he pretty much destroys late game with a few kills.

MarshbouyAug 3, 20164 votes

He's not brainless.

His Q is fairly hard to land.

The see katarina and say "she needs changes and she is getting in the assassin update"

The majority of your comment is very disingenuous and reeks of a salty player.

Succubús GFAug 3, 20162 votes

LOL. You wanted a thought out answer and then you use "salty player" I don't have an issue with yasuo as i stated if you knew how to read. Sure his q is hard to land, kinda like morgana's q. Just face the fact that he doesn't take much effort. Your defending yasuo for who knows why

MarshbouyAug 3, 20162 votes

Except your post still reeked of a salty player. "he pretty much destroys late game with a few kills." "you have to be walking on eggshells to avoid the full build pentakill that is yasuo" and bringing up completely difference champions and comparing them.

His Q is harder to land than morgs. Thinner hitbox.

he takes a lot of effort. Have you played yasuo? I'm defending him against idiots like you.

Succubús GFAug 3, 20163 votes

Accept* Also

He does, he is like a fed master yi, very strong and very snow ball-y everyone knows this.
Meaning you can't make mistakes. How is that not true? I have played yasuo, not my playstyle, but relatively easy to play. See, i have made no attempts to be toxic towards you and yet you've been insulting me the entire time. I take it you are a yasuo main. I play a lot of Syndra. Much higher skill cap, try it sometime.

Yeah. Same with any snowbally champion Akali Diana Lucian Fiora , need me to go on?

My top 3 are ryze azir and teemo. All 3 are ap. 2 are mages. 2 have high skillcaps, one being the highest skillcap in the game.

He's still not easy to play. I take it you have never played him.

Did you just say that syndra has a much higher skillcap than yasuo? Wow you really are salty.

Succubús GFAug 3, 20162 votes

IF YOU COULD READ THE FUCKING SENTENCES. FFS I specifically put he has no weakness early game. Diana and akali have horrible pre-6 phases. Fiora has been nerfed several times. But go ahead and use those/ High skillcaps? Ryze with the point and click roots. But okay buddy. And by highest skill cap im assuming you are saying azir? But that is questionable. And again you don't know how to read which just amazes me because i have also specifically said that i have played him and it wasnt trouble for me. And she does. Very much so, she focuses on positioning 100% her escapes are farily minimal because she is so low mobility. I take it you've never played her? Wow you really are stupid :D

I will not respond to you further. There is no reason to respond to you further. You are biased to the point of oblivion. I have met countless numbers of your kind on the boards, close minded and heavily misguided. You refuse to listen to any other opinion and will never change your view.

It is not worth my time and effort to talk to you if my words fall on deaf ears.

during laning phase syndra takes more skill than yasuo.. yasuo has high mobility and two shields plus good early game power despite being a late game carry. Sure.. a fed syndra can probably 100-0 you with just r but in laning phase she can't 100-0 without landing her combo, she's also squishy and immobile and her e can be annoying to land in tough situations, and even avoided by not standing between her and a ball plus one mistake in positioning in teamfights or skirmishes and you're most likely dead.. yasuo has infinite mobility within minions, double crit passive, a shield that scales off just walking, and possibly the best non-ultimate ability in the game in windwall that can block any projectile including at least half of the ultimates in the game. Then he gets free armour pen for pressing r. teemo has absolutely no skillcap, ryze has minimal skillcap, and azir is somewhat difficult to play the first 20 minutes of playing him through a game. after that he can be played effectively. Only difficult aspect of azir is really timing his ultimate and making plays with it. he's the late game ap version of lee sin kind of, once you get used to his mechanics he's easy but making full use of it does take some practice. The only hard thing about yasuo at least for me is getting his e to go the right way, but i use smart cast, however.. pressing q then w/r or r in teamfights is pretty easy, plus he gets another free shield for ulting too.

R u serious ? sorry I take back my sentence, EVERY GOD DAMN 2ND BRONZE PLAYER has Level 5 Master on him and every 3 rd bronze 5 has level 7 mastery on him. Now you agree ?

???? that comment is 12 months old.

ShahamutJul 15, 20171 votes

If you read the article, they are not looking to nerf him at all... They are looking at re-balancing him.

Yasuo struggles to find a place in higher elo, because even people who are really good at him don't get as much bang for their buck. He is really strong (in theory) in low elo where people dont coordinate as well or just know how to fight against a Yasuo in general. But even in that low elo, he doesn't have an incredibly high win rate.

RIOT has two stated goals in the article they wrote about it:

Add agency to Yasuo, specifically in lane. (Agency is, by their words, giving opponents the feeling that they have options when fighting him)
Make him a more viable champion, especially at higher levels of play (This translates, at least in my mind, to overall BUFFS, not nerfs)

MarshbouyJul 15, 20171 votes

This is a 12 month old post. The things I referenced are from season 6, not season 7. The upcoming yasuo mini rework thing is 12 months in the future of this post.

Why are you even commenting on a year old post?

ShahamutJul 15, 20171 votes

Weird... this post came up in a search that I specified "within the last week". I didn't even bother looking because of that. :-P

Like I hate Yas as much as anyone, but 1) Jax isn't weak 2) Jax is one of the easiest champs to play with virtually 0 mechanics and counters almost everything, even Yas 3) I haven't heard of Yas having a broken winrate or anything (but haven't checked and could be wrong) 4) by the OPs argument every champ needs a nerf and 5) Yas hardly feels op or as frustrating anymore simply because of how much other BS outshines him thesw days

This counts all elos.

No one gives a shit about Yasuo curbstomping silver and bronze. Notice how his win rate gets lower the higher elo you get (not counting the LCS, he has a 100% win rate but also had like one game).

BlâckLotusAug 3, 20161 votes

that because yasuo is the most comfortless pick,you can see top pick yasuo and pick alistar support then see him stay away from his team and fast w q on him with no counterplay from yasuo.
