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 :)

Yasuo is not a newb-friendly champion. Stick with less mechanically-intense champs and try your luck.

i asked how to carry, not get demotivated by things i already know. I know all his mechanics, why do you think im maining him?

If you are not looking for help with playing him but only how to carry with him then I would think the answer to that would be the same to every champion. You get a lead, then spread your lead by helping other lanes. I dont think seeking help on carrying has anything to do with being a yasuo main.

i was in silver, dropped out because of my inting bot lane and their bad decisions. This one game (my last game as yas in ranked) we had a winning bot lane! (oh boy!) but then after laning, rakan kept engaging on 3v5's with our toplaner and another person that was around. The rest of the games are just inting teams

Nothing wrong with the champ right now, but honestly Yasuo is a little much for someone in bronze to be trying to climb with. Playing a more simple champ and learning game mechanics over champion mechanics is a lot more important for climbing, especially in lower elos. If you don't wanna do that I understand, but then I would recommend that you start playing only Yasuo only in order to learn how to play him in every game and get a good foundation on his mechanics.

i get around 65 - 70 cs per 10 minutes on yasuo, i catch out junglers with just a single ward in their jungle(map awareness) and im working on my warding. Pretty sure i have game mechanics down (I have pushed in minion waves successfully and i pull it off a lot when i want to as well, and a few other mechanics such as enemy ability CD's, I know my champs damage output for an all-in execution, etc)

i dont lplay Yasuo so i cant help you there but as for matchmaking there is nothing wrong with it. Most people think there is something wrong with it just because they dont understand how it works.

Bad? Just for everyone else unless you're interested in selling skins.
