Yasuo in Bot Lane?

RenownedWheat42··1 votes·767 views

I've only ever seen it once (Yasuo Braum duo) and even though it stomped, one game is hardly a sample size worthy of saying "HELL YEAH THIS IS VIABLE!"

So, would this work? I understand his kit should technically enable him to be a decent matchup against other ADCs given his passive and windwall, so long as he's got a decent support. Would this work, or be something a team has to build around entirely to have a shot at success?

it works sometimes and is really cheesy

Sometimes as in "you could probably pull it off in solo queue" or as in "if your team works really hard to play around you"?

I've seen that once and Yi bot once, both were duo's with lots of practice. The yas bot won, the yi lost.

Well, of course. Yi is not even close to an ADC replacement. Yasuo at least has a similar build path + all the tools to handle bot lane capably.

That was back when Yi had a crit build path and was being played in lanes.

But even so, Yi has no real method of surviving/winning trades with ADCs is what I mean. Yasuo has his shield for poke and windwall for like every situation, not to mention mobility out the ass.

Neither one is fun to have on your ass lategame but laning against Yi is just so easy.

Played Yasuo Fiddlesticks bot with some friends before the Fiddle nerfs back in mid/late Season 4, early Season 5. It was so goddamn toxic but so much fun.
