Today I've faced a support Yasuo

YumaS2Astral··21 votes·3,788 views

And that was on draft pick, not on blind pick.

Are Yasuo "mains" (in quotes, because I don't believe that a true main would do that) so desperate to play him to the point that they will go support with him, if only for the sake of playing Yasuo?

It isn't that uncommon, Kalista+Yasuo is one of the most fun shit EVER bot lane, but considering you're level nine, a lot of weird shit happens down in your level.

hmmm is it a Yasuo main playing him just to play him... or a player just wanting to play non meta?

also could be that you're level 9 and encountered a player that didn't entirely understand what meta is ...

but I'm a Yasuo main and i often play him jung/supp and smite top(yellow Yasuo) but i also play tank marksmen top too... I just like playing non meta... it's not that I'm desperate to play Yasuo

I am actually using this account just to allow me to post on those boards, as my actual account is a Platinum II account on the BR server. Otherwise there would be no point on not posting outside of my own account.

or did someone just decide...

Yasuo.

Not an off-meta duo. He was indeed an Yasuo support with an ADC Caitlyn.

I mean, sometime I just wanna play yasuo.

Other times, I do actually want to play him support, or ap jungler, or adc.

As long as it was a normal game, I don't think you should read into it so hard

actually that sounds horrible to lane against . . . if you get trapped by cait your going ot get nadoes and ulted. if you get nadoed and ulted cait sets a trap underneath you to fuck you . . . damnit

Yasuo mains are weird man, don't even try to understand them.

Not to be an advocate for Yasuo support, but it's entirely possible that person thinks Yasuo makes a viable support champion with his knockups, windwalls, and ult as a potential CC ability.

Honestly, if the scalings were taken down and his absurd crit/armorpen passives were removed, Yasuo could be reworked into a supportive CC-machine.

While this is true, that would not be thematically fitting. He is a melee carry and even his lore dictates that, as he is a samurai.

However, such skills would be really good on a new champion that could be an actual support, peharps an Yasuo disciple in the lore.

In the last two days i have played vs these lane match ups.

Yasuo Janna Yasuo Leona Zed Sona
Zed Thresh

And they actually did good vs my bots ( i was jungle), sure we won end game, but they destroyed them lane and mid game.

Those champions actually have good potential to be bot laners, but having an actual marksman is better for late game teamfights and to take down towers (due to range) that's why melee carries never become meta at bot lane, but if you are sure you can stomp and end the game as soon as possible you can play them without issues.

If you are low elo it is even better as people often lack skill and communication there to actually deal with them.

Jabberwöcky1 votes

Im actually mid gold, usually with mid-low plat.

But i guess thats still low elo.

And i was saying, THOSE guys were on the enemy team, and i have vsed them.

They destroyed us early-mid game, but we beat them late game, due to our ADC's having better poke and able to take down towers.

Those champs though with their utility, are pretty damn broken together, they can chain CC you, poke, or get out of there like zed n thresh, with no problem.

i can be glad to say i laned as supp lee in Jax LeeSin vs Ashe Ahri normal blind game it was fun we won lane and then game

I've played rengar + zilean in bot when I was ranking low diamond. The ultimate cheese. It was hard fought once late game came around since we didn't have an adc but we still pulled it off

I totally agree it's not thematically right, but those mechanics on a support would be neat.

Thats exactly why people hate yasuo. He has ccs and utility all while being a bruiser that does assassin type damage

Riven Irelia LeeSin Ekko (can be builted ap bruiser) Jax just some more bruisers they are melee carries that are given cc/survivability to survive in the think of combat, since they dont have the range of apc/adc carries

''They are melee carries that are given cc/survavability to survive''

Exactly. Yasuo has his windwall and his passive and his no cd dash.

Difference? None. Everyone is sqishy until they build armor bud

sounded like you were singling out yasuo for cc/survivalibity was trying to point out that others do too

If he was a one trick pony then sure. People have One trick ponyed their way to Challenger and occasionally have to play things like Heimerdinger ADC if that is what they play.

I opened the thread thinking I would see ''and he still carried hard''.

No, its cause we wanna do something fun instead of the usual "Mid/Top." People do it all the time with their mains, One of my ezreal friends went him jungle once, not cause he was so desperate to play him but rather because he wanted to try something out that could be fun.

Gibberwatt1 votes

You right. I do that a lot with anivia, taking her wherever. FYI, anivia top is broken, anivia jng sucks azz

Hey, Yasuo support is a thing.

And it's smart, too, against a Caitlyn or Jhin, since they use mostly skill shots.

However, like any matchup, the ADC skills get off cooldown before Yasuo's wind wall, and people who don't initially get tilted by his wind wall chunk him down when his wind wall is unavailable.

EZ game, EZ life. [slayer-jinx-wink]

People fucking hate playing support. What did you expect?

Unstoppable Monk1 votes

With E being spammable, support Yasuo isn't as bad as it sounds with a spammable CC 3rd Q and a wall to block an AP mage skillshots.

Just ban Annie.

I had a yas jungle who never ganked. When confronted he stated that he mained yas and just wanted to play him, but didnt get top or mid

Handin Out Naps1 votes

I'm so confused why you are trying to put that on Yasuo mains only. It's called being a one trick, they play 1 champion in every role, no matter what.

Ackelope1 votes

Well I know as someone who's played a shit ton of Ezreal in my life, I like to take him everywhere and build him any which way I can, just for the fun of it, so whoever my opponent happens to be will end up facing an AP Ezreal jungle here and there.

Yasuo is hella fun to play. I'd only do something like that if i was playing with a full team of friends.

Darn,you can't simply understand Yasuo mains.They have the answer to the question of life.They posses powers to change the flow of the game. They are the saviours of assassins

jk,they should start playing more champions,expand your knowledgeYasuo

I have 210k points on Yasuo,and yes,we are desperate for picking Yasuo.You could even see an ADC Yasuo.:)

ADC Yasuo is what he's designed for. Support makes very little sense.

iDarkWind1 votes

Even if it's the case, the Yasuo hate spread to the point where people create Threads pointless and ridiculous like this? You saw one guy play Yasuo Support, and right after what you do is making a useless thread saying how much Yasuo mains are desesperated? What the hell? This community on boards is ridiculous. Someone remenber to complain about one champion and suddently that champion get tons of hate. A few weeks ago was Zed, pre-season was Rengar, and now is Yasuo. Why don't you guys actually spread hate on something like AP Supports, Aka supports can solo kill the enemy ADC? That isn't fair in my opinion.

Gibberwatt1 votes

How bout you don't complain about ap supports, cause those things are fun af.

Fun? Fun if you're the stupid AP support. Since when the class that's supposed to protect the ADC or help him in engage should be able to 100-0 the enemy ADC? That's not a support. Grow up.

Gibberwatt1 votes

OK, two things: I agree that some ap supports (lb, diana, brand) who only have one thing they can do to protect their adc, are stupid. However, there are some ap supps (morgana, anivia, lulu) that both protect their adc multiple ways, and find ways to kill the enemy. Also, the age old saying:

Death is the best cc [slayer-jinx-wink]

Dude, my bad. I should have said: "I hate Brand support, Zyra and that kind of support". I'm not talking about Morgana or Lulu, but supports that can 100-0 the enemy ADC is disgusting.

honestly anyone can "support" bot lane. an assassin bot lane is prob going to do more work than a ADC class that needs its hand held for 20+ mins per game anyway.

BeerOfRoot48431 votes

I actually played a lot of Yasuo support back in the day, because it was fun to protect your carry and catch the enemy ADC off guard with the windwall. Then Braum came out...

It's actually not bad if you're competent enough.

Swaid1 votes

And people laughed when I wanted to DrMundo or Singed support.

Hell, people still dodge when I go Sion support.

P.S. No, I don't use my Poison Trail to steal all the ADC's feed, that's not what supports should do.

Cubíx1 votes

if its a kalista adc, support I actually like play yasuo support, any other adc though no thanks (it's more of one of those fun bot lanes than anything else). Realistically I dislike laning as yasuo I pretty play him bot lane or jungle, mostly jungle.

Im The Jayce God1 votes

I played Jayce support once, and it worked great. If you main a champ you can play it in any role possibly. Thus the yas wanted to try it too
