To everyone hating on Yasuo mains

So I checked out some of the statistics brought up in a recent argument between a yas main and some yas haters and according to lolking rn yas has a 5.6 playrate along with a 48.3 ban rate and a 51.8 winrate (http://www.lolking.net/champions/yasuo#!/statistics). so if we are looking at this he isn't played as much as yasuo haters would tell ya he is but he also has a higher playrate than yasuo mains would tell ya. I personally aint a yas main (main mages and used to main support) but tbh I don't really hate yas as much. He definitely needs work as even with a lower playrate he still is at 51% which is an issue. But it isn't nearly as bad as people would lead ya to believe. hope you all have a good day

If you look at actually good statistics (and not all ranked games combined, as 99% ranked games are Bronze to Gold) you can see that his banrate takes a massive dive at higher elos (20-25% difference on average between the statistic above and Diamond banrate).

So how to beat Yasuo for all you Yasuo haters:

Get ****ing good

Yasuo is hated for his windwall it blocks too much shit. only people who complain about the rest of his kit are bronzies. His ulti could also get a cd increase in rank 3.since imo 30secs it's ridiculous for such (overloaded) ultimate

Honestly, I don't particularly care about his win-rate.

I ban Yasuo because I find him aggravating to deal with, not because I believe him to be overpowered.

He is annoying to lane against, an annoying splitpusher, annoying in teamfights and annoying to have as an ally.

Personally, I am far happier when Yasuo isn't in my games for either team.

Considering his popularity, banning him will make the game far more enjoyable for me.

Honestly, I think he stats are bad because he's hard to learn. A skilled Yasuo is very, very scary, to the point that I'm inclined to believe he has problems.

Even if he doesn't, he wins by being one of the most frustrating champions in the game. I hate wind wall. I hate his dashes. I hate how much cc he has and how his shield lets him dive me so early in the game. etc.

Now, I agree that the pure rage of the community is unwarranted. It always is. But there IS a reason for it; Yas kinda sucks.
