Am I the only one who can't stand Yasuo players?

There are so many "hated" champs like zed and fizz but something about yasuo players, if they are on ur team or on the enemy's that is just unbearable. usually they are toxic and salty as hell.

In the elo im in (silver) they usually feed, if they are on ur team or the enemy's, and if they do succeed to get a triple it's pure luck and they act like it was all thought over.

oh, and the champ is being picked every game.

nothing better then to see a yasuo player being stomped.

Yasuo was VERY poorly designed overall. He snowballs REALLY hard if he has a good early game, but he ALSO scales really well so he can come back very well if he has a poor one. He's never useless due to the powerful utility of his Windwall and the extra CC of his ult. He has a metric ton of free stats in his kit (free health from shield, free crit from passive, free armor pen on ult), making him play as if he has a lot more gold invested in his build than he does. He's manaless, so he doesn't need to manage a resource, and almost all of his cooldowns are non-existent so he doesn't need to worry about blowing one at a poor time and leaving himself vulnerable. Yes, GOOD yasuos are very rare. But lousy Yasuo players can still do VERY well just by playing him lousy. He is a simple champ to use and he doesn't punish the person playing him for being stupid. At low Elo, Yasuo is hard to deal with because his opponent don't know how to handle him or to pick champions that can punish him. In high Elo, Yas is hard to deal with because actual good Yas players are god-damned terrifying and can outplay even their most brutal counters.

Add in that a lot of Yas players are massive cocky jerkoffs, and you get a problem. Almost every Yas player firmly believes three things.

  1. That he is the most important player on his team.
  2. That his teammates are required to pick champions that can set up Yasuo with knock ups.
  3. That he is the most difficult champion in the game and thus, the best player in the game for picking Yasuo.

This leads to massive arrogance and self-entitlement from a lot of Yas players. They expect to be given kills. They expect other players to pick champions to set them up instead of the champions that those players wanted to play. They assume that everyone else is a worse player than them, because of their champion's high skill cap. They always believe they're the carry... even if they're massively behind. And the way Yasuo is designed encourages almost ALL of this toxic, selfish thinking.

What was it again, the law of high skill-cap champions?

If (Insert Yasuo Riven Shaco etc. here) is on the enemy team, they will be an absolute god, but if he's on your team, they will feed, flame, and most likely afk.

Upvoted by an old Yasuo main. I hate that champion now, he is too strong. Even remember doing 1v4s just because I was Yasuo, not because I was super good or anything.

both the champion and its playerbase are toxic salty 11 year olds

Yasuo has a high skillcap so naturally yasuo players are more likely to be cocky because when they win they think it's purely because they mastered his technical skill, it's something you see in any elo whether people want to admit it or not.

I once played against a Yasuo who keybound his Mastery icon to his ult, so it would go off every time he triggered it. I enjoyed putting him in the dirt.

Its worse if you're friends are playing it. They always expect you to play someone with knockups and get super mad when suddenly the only ori ult I can hit in the next 10 minutes is only on 2 people. Okay, thats just my friends really...

I may be a Yasuo main, but even before that when I played against him it always was an entertaining lane to say the least. I enjoy the lanes where you are actually fighting and having a good time, rather than the farm lanes you see today. I don't get all the hate on both zed and yasuo these days. Zed ISN'T that frustrating to play against and neither is Yasuo. Both of their win rates are not that high, both being around 50-51% if I remember correctly. Probably going to get down voted to hell but w/e.

I don't judge players based on the champions they play. I judge them based on their attitudes. I don't care if more Yasuo players are "toxic" than average (whether or not that's a true statistic), I'm not going to assume that every Yasuo in my game is a mean player. I also won't assume the skill of a Yasuo before we get a good way into the game and I see how he does.

As someone who has played a lot of rek'sai, I couldnt disagree more. I love my Yasuos and I love getting them fed.

I am right there with ya OP. I cant stand Yasuo in my games which is why I usually 100% ban him. Yasuo players that are on my team always, always, always feed and I really hate laning against a Yasuo. His kit is just incredibly obnoxious. He can continuously push waves with no real counter play.

Vayne, Riven pickers are usually more toxic than Yasuos.

I don't like to generalize yasuo playerbase. however. when it comes to riven playerbase. too disrespectful
