why is yasuo the only non-marksmen teamcomps get built around

Big Lincoln··8 votes·506 views

any other time it's "expected" to form your teamcomp and strategy around the weakest and least skilled player on your team (the marksman) so that their shitty full-damage build can matter and they get to pretend it was all them

nobody builds a team comp around Darius or Tryndamere or Karthus or Nasus or Fiora. i'm lucky if i get a shield from my support meanwhile they're gobbling ADC scrote like it was dipped in honey

the marksman privilege in this game is disgusting and you are probably part of the problem. we need to work together to dismantle this oppressive system

When used properly, certain team compositions can be disgustingly strong (assuming the champions are in a viable state). For example:

Darius Olaf Orianna Sivir Lulu Shen Nocturne TwistedFate Twitch TahmKench Illaoi Maokai Xerath Jhin Janna

Sadly, it can be rather difficult to build a team composition unless you are playing in a premade group.

Many players simply lack the willingness or versatility in their champion pool to adapt to team compositions.

I have seen and played a team comp based around Tryndamere. Here's the best one I saw.

Tryndamere Kayle Morgana Zilean Sivir

And you can easily swap out Tryndamere for Olaf and get similar results.

There is also a team comp based around Zilean too where you surround him with stealth champs and he becomes a stealth bomber.

Zilean Twitch Shaco Teemo Shen

Shen isn't stealth but his ult gives Zilean global pressure with his bombs.

And then there is also the Venn diagram of death: Amumu Fiddlesticks Kennen Zyra Pantheon

They are out there. You just keep playing against meta sheep.

I don't think I've seen a Team Comp actually built around Yasuo... or ADCs really. It's just most champions work well with other champions.

A team of people who just don't know how to fucking die? Tryndamere Kindred Zilean Kayle Anivia

A team centralized on killing knock ups? Yasuo Kayn Rakan Galio

A team of Dunk? Darius Rakan Thresh Vi

The Jungle Book? LeeSin Nidalee Kindred Vi Ivern

Bring me dat ass? TahmKench Blitzcrank Skarner Orianna Nidalee

Nope. The most common champion I've seen role with a Yasuo is Rakan

Flash into their death ball with ult and shield up. Be uncle bad touch with your Quickening ability. group them up and get a five man knock up.

And I've done it with a friend. Note I suggest doing this with AP Rakan(Top/Mid/Support). Not only will your shield be strong enough to keep you alive, but you'll be putting in a good chunk of damage to help Yasuo finish them off.

When Yas was really popular teams built around him. Things like Malphite Chogath Yasuo Kalista Thresh were a thing. All with knock ups for the Yas.

My fav's are poison team, undying team

Because most other champions don't need a specific kind of champion to work at their best? The reason why yasuo comps and juggermaw exist is because they have weaknesses that teamates can allivate: Yasuo has to go into melee range to stack his knock up, which makes him vulnerable, and kog is squishy and immobile, but when protected he will rip through everything

any juggernaut set up to carry just need a tank or 2 who can initiate and a poke mage

set a darius or an illaoi with a zac ult and they'll 2v5

Juggermaw. That's the protect the Kog'Maw comps, not a juggernaut champ

juggernauts generally need this
