Yasuo would be too hard otherwise...
The idea of Yasuo needing a knock-up to use his ult is not bad. He has a skillshot that can knock-up his enemies , great , it gives him what he needs , but please , fire the person who thought "Let's make his q be aoe if he uses it during his E" , not only does it remove any interaction (unless you consider flashing a fair interaction)(and I know that using some form of instant or almost instant dash can get you out of his hitbox) but it's annoying and this is why a lot of people from bronze to diamond main him , because his only skill reliant ability can be replaced with an aoe targeted spell , that has cc , and crits for a ton of damage , and can be done repeatedly.
Well , considering the history of balance changes and champions released , Riot really favors easy champions over more "unreliable" or difficult to play champions , it should favor risk and reward , but instead it rewards sure fire things like huge aoe spells and targeted abilities. I mean , it's totally fair if a champion forces you to think like this "If I hit this spell then I can do something , maybe even kill him if he is low enough" . But instead , the most common way champions force you to think is "I'll kill him , nothing is stopping me" or "I can harass him and he can't do anything" .
People (mainly those who main Yasuo or other similar champions) will call me dumb , bronze , or hypocrite for maining Nidalee , but I play her mid , and it's a lot easier to play against her there , and it's not even the place to talk about this now. I started this discussion because this is how it felt playing against him , UNFAIR , and it's not because I don't know how to play against him , there are other champions that feel fair to play against , that leave room for you to do something as well , and finding a way to exploit someone's weaknesses and avoiding their strengths is not that hard, it requires some logic , but despite that , some champions still feel one sided when it comes to interacting with them , which makes you cringe out of frustration.
I realise that a champion can be defeated if you work as a team , because your team has the tools that you lack , and you have the tools that your team lacks , but coordination is not present all the time , and you are still one person , and it's very annoying to feel powerless during laning phase , or to know that you cannot defeat him unless you take a big risk , while he doesn't have to , in a duel and that the best choice is to suck it up. Not to mention their attitude , they play penta making machines and suffer from God syndrome after that. I made my point , if you agree or not , try to come up with honest and good arguments , or don't bother , I know the community is not nice to "Nid mains".
