Can we please just gut Yasuo?

He's the worst champion ever created. "We're trying to stop mobility creep, here's a champ with infinite dashes." Everything about this champion screams cancer. There has been an increase of leukemia reports of 500% since Yasuo's release. Atm I just report every Yasuo I see for explicitly wishing cancer upon his enemies.

It surely is a faster "solution" than making you all salty salts learn how to play a game.

I'm sure you don't have to deal with these nolife yasuo players in silver, but please, tell me how to play the game, master.

Well, if you want a serious answer it's all about capitalizing your champion's strenght and remeber that Yasuo has no hard defenses outside of wall (that can be lured) so it's all about skill level and awarness. There is not just a single way to deal against Yasuo, every character has his own.

Yup, I don't find many dia+ Yasuo in my mtaches but knowing Yasuo myself I've never had problems against him.

Of course you haven't. Because people in silver don't play champs at their full potential. And let me tell you, a Yasuo being played on full potential shits on anyone else. He's currently pick or ban in LCS for a reason and even gets picked in comps with only one knock up aside from yasuo because he's just that good on his own.

I guess higher-elo player suffer of a sort of divinity complex if you have to put yourself on higher level so aggresively.

Let me say that I'm a pretty decent Yasuo player myself (decent, not pro) and I recognise that he is a strong character expecially with a team that can give him good knockups. But there it ends, it's a strong champion, not over the top. There is plenty of other strong champions but you don't see the whole boards whining about them (Azir is a strong champion for example and seems on the same pick/ban ratio).

My opinion concerning Yasuo hate is that it's really not clear what to do because he has a good variance of tools but none of them is gamebreaking because there is a counter for any and each of his tricks. Said that, if you stack up against a malphite+yasuo team your team is at fault. Good sinergy in a team means that enemies must work together too to nullify it, each time ppl bring the team factor sustaining that Yasuo is OP they don't consider that they themselves have a team and counterpicks exists.

Now I'm sure I haven't covered 100% of the situations etc but trust me that Yasuo is beatable if the skill level is the same or yours is higher. And that's all that matters.

Honestly some small Yasuo QoL nerfs would be nice, but other than that he has a fair bit of counterplay
