play normal draft and ban him

A OceanJul 31, 20166 votes

Normal Draft is awesome for that. If your teammate hovers Yasuo, just ban him. If no one hovers Yasuo, no need to ban him because if the enemy picks Yasuo you've basically won.

bro that is toxic as fuck, if you're going to ban something that your teammate wants to play, especially without saying anything then yasuo isn't the problem, you are.

franticFurballAug 1, 20163 votes

I ban what I want, if someone has a problem with that, he can go cry in his sleep. Being toxic is toxic. Banning a champion is my decision.

Shin GoukiAug 1, 20164 votes

You're right you do have the right to ban what you want. Personally I don't think banning your teams hovered champions is a good idea however.

In ranked you may want to ban that Yasuo so you're midlaner or toplaner can't pick him but unless you look up his record you have no idea if you're banning out a champion he excels at playing. Thereby significantly hurting your own chances of winning the game. The solution could be to op.gg him and see how well he plays the champion and if he has any decent back ups. If your midlaner is hovering Yasuo and his average kda is 5/10/5 across 20 games banning Yas doesnt seem like such a bad idea. Still especially in ranked it's worth noting that banning your teamates champion may tilt them before they game even starts again lowering your chances of winning the game.

As for normals.. Well personally I'll never understand people banning something from their own team. It's a normal. It'll never (or very rarely) be an even well rounded game. There's a good chance you have people first timing champions or at least learning them so what does it matter if your team mate wants to try to learn Yasuo. (e.g. I'm silver 3 and just had maybe my fifth game playing Gangplank trying to learn him and had to lane against a Plat 4 Riven) They're just fun games where people play weird stuff half the time. Is it really worth banning Yasuo only to have them first time Lee top instead? Maybe it is.. Like you said that's your decision.

Either way I'm not one to flame my team if they ban Yas. It happens sometimes on accident sometimes on purpose. In ranked I'll play one of the other 3 champions I know how to play. In normals I'll work on learning a champion that's interesting to me at the time. Currently GP.

Or I could simply ignore all that reasoning, and ban something because I think its garbage or bad and I don't wanna see it in my games :D

Shin GoukiAug 2, 20162 votes

Or that lol.

franticFurballAug 4, 20161 votes

I wasn't joking, that's the core issue here.

People don't have to justify their bans, same as they don't have to justify their picks. Its an individual decision for a reason.

And banning something because I would rather not see it in my game, is as good a reason as any, and better than most.

Shin GoukiAug 4, 20162 votes

Maybe you don't have to justify your ban. But that doesn't me you're free of any consequences that result from your ban. Sure it's your decision, but it's a team game and you could be negatively impacting your team. Just like in normal life, every decision you make impacts others. Whether that's a negative impact or a positive one is your decision.

Shame OCE doesn't have normal draft, we just have to hope we don't vs annoying shit.

StainlessTweedleJul 31, 20161 votes

wow are you serious? you only have blind? ono

LAKIGRAug 1, 20163 votes

Yeah, hell we never even had dominion. Worst thing about only having blind pick is that u can just have the worst luck for your lane opponent, like had this one time where all I wanted was to play a game as riven. Well the next 4 or 5 games all I versed were pantheon and renekton

IPromiseTomorrowJul 31, 201615 votes

I think the boards are over exaggerating against Yasuo. Since saying "Let's make this one champ completely out of the game for this match." Is just really, really salty.

Defending an op champ ain't a crime especially when the champ's availability is called into question.

MaizieaJul 31, 20164 votes

I think it's just that he is the most played champion in normal games for a while now and that he's just straight up annoying, even when they feed, all the dashing and windwalls are annoying to deal with. Sure there are other far more annoying champions in the game but Yasuo is the most played champion in the game + annoying.

YumScrumptious96Jul 31, 20161 votes

Yasuo has a 21.72% play rate overall. He has an under 50% win percent in mid, with a 52% winrate top. Those numbers aren't even that strong, the highest winrate right now is Sona with 58%, highest play rate is Lucian with 25% and that's just in one role whereas Yasuo's is top and mid combined, 11.28% and 10.44%.

Very Hard EngageJul 31, 201612 votes

if youre going into blind pick you always go for a counterpick which trumps all the popular picks and win by default

tired of seeing yasuo? start picking malzahar and bend him over.

disregardableJul 31, 201636 votes

Then feed 10 kills because you don't know how to play malzahar.

ZedexJul 31, 201615 votes

You're implying its actually hard to play Malzahar...

KnoyleJul 31, 201616 votes

No he's implying some guy will play malzahar without actually knowing how to play him. counterpicks are pointless if you are shit with the pick.

BIH DiamondJul 31, 20162 votes

It doesn't take skill to play Malz though.

KnoyleJul 31, 20162 votes

The same can be said about Annie but you can still screw up just by not knowing the champion well enough. No matter how simple the champion there is still the difference between a good one and a bad one.

Troll for TrumpJul 31, 201611 votes

So, as a result of a toxic champ, people have to be FORCED to pick a champ, in a CASUAL game mode, where they are encouraged to have the ability to do almost anything they want. Ok.

Edit: "/s"

YumScrumptious96Jul 31, 20163 votes

Not forced to, you can beat Yasuo playing pretty much any pick if you are good enough. If he doesn't want to improve, then what can they do besides pick the hardest counter?

Troll for TrumpAug 1, 20162 votes

This is in REPLY to a poor suggestion made by a previous user.

He wants you to just pick Malz, and that the only way of dealing with Yas should be to just pick Malz. This is wrong.

You can beat Yas with any pick if you are good enough. You can beat anything with anyone if you are good enough. But they still have the advantage. If you are good at Darius, you can beat a bad Kayle. If they are a good Kayle, the skill "balances out", so Kayle will have a much higher chance to beat Darius.

I think I might need to put in a "/s".

BIH DiamondJul 31, 20167 votes

where they are encouraged to have the ability to do almost anything they want.

So why is it wrong for someone to play Yasuo then? If that's what they want to play why is it ok for you to tell them no? OH because you dislike a certain champ it gives you the right??? There are more champs more antifun than Yasuo like Malz or Leblanc. Can't remove them all. I hate facing leblanc. Don't see me posting on the boards asking her to be removed. Funny because you main Illaoi. The most cancerous, toxic top laner in the game right now that 1v2s. But you're talking? Hypocritical

I guess this is why you're stuck in gold 5 with negative win rate. Instead of trying to improve and learning how to deal with Yasuo who isn't even strong right now, you rather bitch even though you yourself abuse broken champs like Illaoi

I do Cho gath and laugh at the zed and yasuo trying to out play me and insta kill me like they usually can do, then they get knocked up, silenced, and eaten.

considering how frequent we see AD midlaners I will often ask my buddy if he wants to play rammus JG. He just shit's all over AD comps of pretty much any kind.

What's a blind pick? Is that when you close your eyes and pick a random champ in draft?

ZarvanisJul 31, 201611 votes

Yasuo Yasuo is like Zed Zed and Vayne Vayne . For some reason, whenever they're on your team they always feed. But when they're on the enemy team, it's a Challenger Smurf. (Obviously, this is hyperbole.)

well, if the boards' logic is that DQ threads are so abundant because DQ is a SERIOUS PROBLEM (which apparently it is).

well, by that logic Yasuo is a SERIOUS PROBLEM.

....strangely, for once I agree with the boards in this matter.

As someone who has been posting Yasuo hate threads for two years, I don't want him gutted, I want him to get a small rework (shen sized) so he's less frustrating to play against.

Do I really need a reason? I thought we could just ban every champion we dislike. But it's quite simple in the end, they have CC and stop me from doing what I want to do. I don't like that, so let's just delete them from the game because that's how this thread works after all.
