Is Yasuo bad now?
Hello everyone! bronze yas main here! (dropped from silver), Im here to talk about a few things today!
Why is it so hard to carry with yasuo? I was gonna make a thread asking on why this matchmaking is so bad, but i know Riot isnt gonna fix it, but i just need to know how to carry, but i dont know how. If you look at my last few matches on yasuo, you will see that I did OK or decently. I dont know how to carry with yasuo, however, when i play talon or darius, i find it a lot easier to carry and feed my team some kills for some reason, why is this?
Yasuo has also not received any major damage buffs recently, so he is literally in a zed-like state (like zed in early season 8) where he is hardly good at all, and doesn't scale since hes just an all-game champ. Not to mention he is squishy, easily counterable, and so many different factors. Yes, im not the best on yasuo, but im definitely better then most yasuo players in this elo.
I acknowledge I make mistakes, i know i do, but sometimes in the moment, its unavoidable unless i get the skill to predict everything that willl happen in the next 30 seconds. Lets take a moment to talk about my Talon game, what did i do? to start, i made the 3/2 varus that was split pushing a lot pay for his pushes, I also killed lux or their jungle every opportunity i got, and gave my team as many headstarts as possible. Could I honestly do that with Yasuo? nope. I cant make it to top lane quick enough, I dont have a youmoos or crazy mobility in the jungle (other then a few camps) and I dont have crazy burst.
I feel helpless doing anything as Yasuo, whether in teamfights, or 1v2's with bot, the support just 2 shots me and I cant do anything about it, hell, even adc's with 50% crit do more damage than me.
I think one of the problems is that Yas isnt bursty, hes too intensive to play in a burst meta, and the fact that yasuo doesnt have any mainstream damage isnt helping either (mainstream: abilities or autos) he isnt a right click champ, and he isnt 100% ability focused either, and he has no burst. Not to mention that in a 1v1 against someone he only has 2 abilities he can really use at all (yes i know windwall can make a gamechange, but if someone baits it, you are screwed). Now im good at evading yasuo baits as ive done with lux's when they try to use autos or their W to bait my wall, i look for abilities, not autos or other fakes.
This is why Yas isnt viable right now is what i believe, a few damage buffs or just any buffs to squishy-ness would really help him.
Thanks for reading, goodbye, have a nice day :)
