why nerfing yasuo wont fix yasuo

Hammermancer··22 votes·12,270 views

If yasuo gets nerfed, he will likely be banned less

if he is banned less, he will be played more

if he is actually played, all the one tricks will be in every single game

then his winrate would be down for the OTPs

so rito would just buff him again (maybe with a new skin)

and we'd be in the same spot

I ban him cause I'm an ADC main that does NOT wanna deal with that fuckass windwall and him being able to catch up to me being dashing through half the lane using one minion wave, knock up and ult me.

It's annoying as fuck, I don't care if he does zero damage after nerfs.

hahaa something that counters adc nerf it

Jakxcombat1 votes

It's the fact that it counters an entire classes of characters. If you're ranged you literally can't do anything as with this insta kill meta by the time the wall is down the fight is over.

Ok, and if you're melee top against Kennen you can't do anything.

But doesn't Rammus have the same thing, countering pretty much all adcs as well?

Not saying Rammus is broken, but he stomps anyone who is AD or most people who are immobile for that matter, and can usually kill you before taunt is over if you at the late game or he got fed after some ganks. Hell, he doesn't even need minions to get to you, because of item 3800 and item 3742.

Take that along with the slow on his Q, taunt and stacking slow on his ult which can rack up after said taunt, and you cant run away well either once he gets onto you. Only reason he isn't banned as much is because Rammus is less flashy, and has a low pickrate, because of it.

Think the issue (besides having an annoying lane phase if your ranged) is that so many people want to play Yasuo, which makes the rest of us sick and tired of Hasaki and Sorye ge- lose elo.

But on a side-note, if someone says they main adc, I instantly take their input with a grain of salt, because they are arguably the most catered lane out of all 5 roles. Not saying, adc players shouldn't have an opinion, just saying you guys are kind of spoiled as is.

i bann him where ever i am laning expect mid i bann zed there. The only thing i dislike in him is the stupid windwall its just too good.

Or simply nerfing him wont stop low elo from banning him anyway. They will never stop banning him regardless of his state.

so true all because he gives you cancer playing against him he is just so anti-fun to play against

Aseraan1 votes

Yep thats me right there. I will probably gona use my bann 99.9% of the times to bann the champ is too good in the right hands and too stupid everywhere else.

Ragnaveil1 votes

Good in the right hands, for now. Before crit got reverted (and buffed when crit users were doing bad from the changes), he was straight dog. Didn't stop him winning in low elo, but it definitely nailed a hammer in the coffin for higher elo in most cases.

Low Elo bans him all the time no matter what state he is in lmao

Yas' ban rate actually raises in higher elos.

47 percent in diamond vs 59 percent in bronze on league of graphs. hmmm

I know your disproving his point, but let's be honest. If diamond is banning some one 47% of the time it has an issue.

Well depends on what you mean by low elo. His ban rate doesnt drop off till masters+ and that is less than 1% of the community, the other 99% he is around 50%+ ban rate. Even master + have him at 25%.

RipReviveFkRito6 votes

It's funny how they can choose to make champions unplayable for years only because they're unpopular Galio Yorick Warwick Sion Urgot , yet they don't even consider balancing popular champs like Yasuo Riven Vayne GG

Why does Yasuo have a better shield than Braum???

hhaavviikk5 votes

remove his windwall, free crit and free shield and replace it with something that doesn't make me hate my life and I won't ban him anymore, yasuo doesn't need a nerf he needs a rework

Stars Shaper2 votes

Maybe the issue is you hating your life for such trivial things.

Funny how people say he is banned only in low elo but they love to IGNORE the fact that he is banned in high elo too, but hey league playerbase loves ignoring common sense and the shit side of league will always win sadly...

Cavemantero3 votes

Ghostcrawler isn't going to fix his kit cuz GC is an idiot. Everyone knows this. Everyone ignores this fact. So yes, we will continue to have broken overloaded overpowered kits in League and there's nothing we can do it about because you need to watch more LCS so rito can get those easy advertising dollars rather than spend money fixing their game.

The Yasuo situation says a lot about Riot Game. Not that we need it to come to this conclusion, but the Yasuo situation is an example of Riot Game being unwilling to see a flaw in their own thinking, and rather attributing the flaw to their user base.

For, you see, if Riot Game considered Yasuo's ban rate, and the multitude of well thought out criticisms of Yasuo's kit, they would concede that there is indeed a problem with Yasuo that should be addressed and fixed.

But, since they do not do this, they must attribute our disdain for the champion as a fault of ours. That we just do not want to adapt. That we just need to "git gud" if we want to play League of Legends the way it's meant to be played.

When you treat your customers with such disdain, it should lead to your demise. Here's to Riot Game's demise! Have fun with your happy wind man while there are still peo... children hopelessly addicted to your drug of a game.

yasuo doesnt need a nerf, he needs a balance change. yasuo's kit however is hard to balance without making it a hard nerf, thus thats the real problem people fail to recognize.

Aseraan3 votes

ITS NOT HARD TO RECOGNIZE AT ALL PPL BEEN SAYING TO REWORK HIS SHIELD BOTH OF EM ACTUALY TO MAKE HIM ACTUALY HIGH RISK AND REWARD.

The only ppl who failt to recognize that is riot every damn time we talk about him i swear for the godamn low elo skum i am we never getting anywhere.

Its not hard to balance at all tho been trillions of threads about it i bet my soul(hAAA i dont have a soul) that there is one that is legit usefull.

A i Bot 01 votes

This is pretty accurate. I have been waiting for nerfs just to play him more, but honestly There are so many other strong champs right now. yasuo is already very weak. He's really good at waveclear and trading with people who have bad positioning or who lack waveclear, but this makes him easy gank since he will be pushed, so really this game just has a jungler problem

Horse Grenades2 votes

lol... he said yasuo was weak

Barcid1 votes

So what you're saying is "delete Yasuo"?

ØrnnToGetTrolleÐ1 votes

Buffing the community is the best way to nerf yasuo

Mr Bob Boberson1 votes

Maybe so, But I want to play him more So i'm all for nerfing him Or just removing the double crit so he can actually have some diverse builds

RussiaKitty1 votes

Honestly, what i think people want, is the removal of the double crit he gets for no reason, the windwall they deletes every ability and make it more like braum's shield, and his ability to let him go up and down a lane in under 5 seconds. Hes just the most frustrating champ to lane against and be flammed for feeding a champ that can stay in lane for 13 straight minutes because he has no mana. And his bot lane is just toxic as hell, he can counter and out maneuver most adcs, the only indicator if you will win lane against him is your support.

nerdnation1261 votes

They should just rework him tbh his early game damage is annoying plus playing against him is not fun at all he literally takes the fun out of the game. All he does is get some few cs and then twerk on everyone.i don't play him but that wind thing he has is annoying too you can't even see it coming to dodge it.
