Yasuo and Zed are commonly the most banned champions at matches. I know Riot wants all type champions, including those that are agiles or/and that trick with their shadows, changing place when you least expect, but they have reached the limit. They immobilize you with their whirlwinds, deal massive damage with their ultimates, creates shields that can block almost anything... Aren't those champions that OP?
The problem isn't their power level. It's their horribly-designed kits.
They are low-risk high-reward champions who can completely negate a large portion of mid-laners, and where the outcome of the match depends far more on their player's skill than on anything their opponent does.
Yasuo could have a 30% win rate and people would still hate playing against him because he's so oppressive if you happen to be playing a champion that he hardcounters. Zed slightly less so, but he's still got similar issues.
Yasuo isn't even popular anymore, he's played top more than he is mid because he's weak. He was picked twice in LCS, both times top and one of those times he got crushed. Zed I can understand although I don't think he's that strong but you over exaggerate Yasuo's power. He only get a whirlwind every three Q's you know.
I haven't seen Yasuo banned in weeks. And frankly, even Zed's power is exaggerated on the boards.
Except Yasuo isn't even in the top 10 most banned champions right now... Ultimates are supposed to be game changing, which is why they tend to do damage if they're damaging spells. Yasuo's ultimate isn't even really that bursty when compared to other assassins and fighters.
Ok then I guess that due to the comments I'm the one playing bad. Sorry for disturbing you. X_X I'm playing mid with Twisted Fate and Leblanc, which is Yasuo's counter. Any tip to fight against them?
