one day I was playing da Leagues and I ran into this guy playing Yasuo, I said to the man he was like "First time yas" I checked out his page and what d'ya know it was true. Me and the guy we were up to some fun I was the top lane playing Jax when he said to me. "Hey. Your a good Jax." So I said to the guy who was having some fun "Yasuo phantom dancer, frozen mallet combo is cancer." I was going 3/1/2 I was confident. He bought the phantom dancer, he started warding off a ton of damage, I was like "okay" and I killed him anyway. Then he got the frozen mallet, and he became so much harder to kill. He followed it with a GA, now he was op. He was an unstoppable force. Right when you thought you penetrated him, he just revived. The gift of the gods. Tank Yas, is not the way yas should be played. It is skill-less. Ban buying most tank items on yasuo, particularly Mallet.

TBH tank yas is fairly broken in a sense that he can deal around 200+ damage per Q every 1.5 ish seconds while still being able to take a huge amount of damage. FM has been the go to item for most auto attack heavy top laners (excluding Jayce). As a 300k mastery 7 Yasuo main, i can agree that is very BS. But the thing about yasuo is, hes kinda like vayne. HYPER carry, unless put behind. And when put behind, they are shit. From my experiences alone, i can vouch for this. Tank Yasuo isnt an exception. TBH, that build is fairly expensive on him. He only goes tank after PD, so early game is when you harass the crap out of him with a jg. Yasuo thrives off of kills. So dont give them to him and you will help yourself and your team out a lot more.

But yes i do play tank Yasuo because eh, why not. Its fun, but early game is still normal yasuo. That is when he is either ahead a shit ton or behind a shit ton. If he isnt ahead, then hes not the biggest of threats and can be shut down easily.

Im not gonna give the normal shpeel of how you can counter him blah blah blah. I know how strong he is with his build, I cant deny it. But Yasuo himself isnt what is wrong, its overall FM. His kiting potential is off the charts. I beat an Irelia that was 3/1/5 and i was 0/4/1 with a PD and FM, and she had Omen, TF, and half of another item. (my cs was on point). And i was able to kite around her minions and win the trade just due to her not being able to get to me cause im near her minions and not my own.

TL;DR yes Tank yasuo is strong but FM is the reasoning. Yasuo is fine. FM is broken.
