Why is there still yasuo hate.

What is on the boards today:

Viktor Lore

Lovely Lovely Memes

And Lee and Vayne got nerfed now all we need is Yasuo to get nerfed

Why, i understand people hate Yasuo but since some item changes he is sitting on 51% winrate in top, and 49% winrate in mid

This means he is sitting on EXACTLY 50% Winrate, just because you don't like a champion doesn't mean that if he is in a balanced spot he needs a nerf.

it's not about his winrate, it's about how annoying he is to play against

Balance IS about winrate, Teemo is annoying as heel but do you see him getting nerfed?

The problem is that a lot of people don't know how to ask for what they actually want.

They keep asking for Yasuo nerfs, as in changes to his power level to make him more balanced. What they actually want is a Yasuo rework to turn him into an actually healthy champion who isn't torture to play against.

While i agree that parts of his kit can be unhealthy, i see his kit being more healthy than other hated champions. What people dont realize is Yasuos abilities are actually not too great his strength is 100% his Itemization

The main thing people hate about him is that he has so many agency-negating aspects to his kit.

It's really hard to hit him with skillshots because of his constant dashes. It's hard to hit him with a high-impact ability because of his windwall. If you manage to get through those, he still has a shield. His high mobility also make him really hard to pin down and hard to gank (for certain jungler/laner matchups.) His ability to hold Q3 allows him to zone enemy laners for a very long time. His low cooldowns and ability to refresh his shield with his ult makes trying to actually take him down late-game frustrating because he can easily turn a fight even when very low.

None of those frustrations are related to his items.

but a lot of those can be out played back at him, thats why i love yasuo, i see him as a outplay matchup. If you lose you fucked up, if he loses he fucked up.

And any champion can be op if you list everything about them

Three Cardinal Rules of the Boards:

  1. Downvote Teemo mains.
  2. Never argue in favor of Lee, Yasuo, Zed, Riven, etc.
  3. Downvote those who don't follow Rule 2.

Oh i know the rules i have posted a post about what in his kit shouldnt be hated on and is sort of balanced, and in the same post talked about what should be done to nerf him. and it got nerfed to hell.

Hur dur he's toxic in lane hur dur he's oppressive

Because when your teammates pick him you lose LP.

Skorch1 votes

But then how is he OP? If hes too OP then surely you should be getting LP?

51% overall win rate is too high for a supposed high skill floor champion. Azir had 49% before being nerfed into oblivion.

I miss Azir, he was a cool champion.
