Hello everyone.

Am i the only one, that are always thinking, when playing with or meeting a yasuo " Well GG" ? :)

I know he's a difficult champ to master, and if i could i would but i can't. But the players who master him are so superior, to every1 other player and champ in the game? At first i thought he was bugged, but there were no fix in todays update?

i am quite curious to find out if yasuo is getting some kinda change/fix/nerf, call it what you want.. he's in almost every game i play and all games seems ruined, because he can just completely rape his Opponent?

I know ill get flamed for making this thread since, the thing every player seems superior at in this game is flame. thank god for mute <3 anyways hope you wont mute this post i am honestly interested to know. <3

He isn't op, you're bad. People who play him well, took the time to learn him well. He is very easy to counter and easy to destroy and outplay if you're good. But if you practice him like most of us, then your skill is the outcome of your work.

I thought this was a troll post until i noticed you are lv15..

Yasuo has been the most-banned champion in the game for months, and would be the most-picked, except he is banned too much. He is iarguably overpowered currently, and has had a rather annoying bug for a month or so. Not to mention the grasp of the undying bug with sweeping blade, that was fixed a while back.

Yasuo just got a **massive nerf and bugfix. **His ult got changed to only give armor penetration on critical hits, which greatly weakens the extremely disliked and overpowered "Tank Yasuo" build.

Basically he would build all defensive/hybrid items and still do way too much damage between trinity force spellblade, 50% bonus armor ignore from last breath, and high base damage, while permaslowing people with frozen mallet. Normal assassin-carry Yasuo builds are not really overpowered, require way more skill to be effective, and are a lot riskier to play. As he usually has 100% crit chance from his passive when building normally, the nerfs only effect his tank build.

Frozen Mallet also got changed to give less damage and more health, making it less annoying on high-damage champions that are abusing it Gnar Yasuo

The bug where he got a free autoattack when using last breath was also fixed.

Yasuo is very much in the list of 'excessively strong' pit right now, along with Zed and crew. Though I find Yasuo 90% easier than Zed.

Yasuo is one of those champions that if he gets on a roll will completely carry the game and go crazy, however with this being said he has weaknesses. For one he is completely reliant on knock-ups for his ultimate be that with himself or with his q charge. Even when he was played in the LCS by Meteos and Huni in the C9 vs IMT game the support for both of the games was Braum and the junglers for each of the game was Rek'sai and Gragas all of which has a knock up in their kit. The next thing is correct champion to bully his biggest weakness, His early game. Until Yasuo gets items he doesnt do that much dmg so early game champions that can really bully him such as Gnar Kennen Quinn Cassiopeia Ekko Kayle can bully him and prevent his item spike from coming into effect. Yasuo gets a lot of flack from being a "no brain" champion which is completely false. Every champ requires skill and a certain amount of time played to get to that point where they can be that nuisance that makes everybody feel like they are a no brain champ. Best advice I can give to fight yasuo is pick an early game strong champion that can keep him from getting the items he needs to get his power spike ( Kennen is a good pick because when he ults then you ult and it will stun him pretty soon then he can't move thus can't do dmg. Just some thoughts, hope that it helps!

He is the champ with no weaknesses. Long range, dashes, defensive walls, knockups, group ults, crit strikes, low cool downs...

Thanks alot for a very well put togeather answer! :) So its a mix of me not being good enough to counter him, and yasuo be a lil overpowered! :) Thanks a bunch.

Last question, what champ counters him, and makes him his lil' princess.
