I have a teammate that plays yasuo sometime and whhen he picks yasuo the allies call him racial and other insensitive insultings and then it makes me feel sorry for him. I mean not in game but even in the lobby, why is wrong with the play yasuo?

The main two reasons why he gets so much flak is because, similar to Vayne, Yasuo is like an LCS pro player highlight power fantasy, since his carry potential can be so high, people who play him just want the glory. Yasuo is really not a team-player champion; he's pretty much the opposite. He will want to claim all the resources to himself, whether that's lane farm or jungle buffs. In terms of the glory, since great Yasuo players can often pull super clean plays, people who are uhh, "inspired" by those see how awesome it is pulling it off instead of whether they're actually able to do so, often resulting in them doing things they can't afford to, whether it's because they just don't have the skill or they don't have the correct setup; a.k.a jumping in 1v5 for "that sweet outplay 1v5 Pentakill"

As the icing on the cake, other issues Yasuo has is the fact that he's pretty much impossible to deal with when fed unless you just so happen to have a super coordinated team (which is hard to come by in solo queue). If Yasuo doesn't get fed, he can always get farm fed super easily so even if you destroy him early game, he can always still destroy you late game, rendering your early game efforts wasted.

Take her/his word for it, Yasuo ain’t a support. He can either be an ADC, a top laner, or a mid laner.

It goes both ways. Wanting a combo could be both "I want teamwork" and "I just want you guys to give me an easy ultimate so I don't have to do too much work for something so flashy". Yes, it's more convenient for Yasuo to have someone else with an airborne as well, but that doesn't make them a support. Soraka's one of the best supports in the game, and she has little to no combo potential; combo potential has no correlation with supporting and neither does 'talking about strategies'. You could be top lane and talk about strategies.

Thus I am very sure I am not wrong; as "arrogant" as that wording sounds.

You're Level 15, you'll need to have more 'social experience' within League of Legends to understand specific stereotypes of certain champion players, regardless of whether they're true or not: e.g. all Riven players are "Diamond smurfs", only die-hard fans of Mordekaiser plays Mordekaiser, all Teemo players worship the devil, anyone who plays a "passive female support" is a "female in real life"

Because the boards are a bunch of mage players and Yasuo does very well against them.

I'm a Darius main, I counter Yas, and I do well against yas, but I still hate the champ. Biased? Hardly, I simply know how frustrating and toxic it is to fight against a good Yas, who counters even his own counterplay because of the abundance of free, spammable mobility, defensive, damage, ranged, pseudo sustain, and cc tools in his kit.

Every champion is ''''''''''''''toxic''''''''''''' when the player is good. I know Yasuo is currently deserving of nerfs, but even when he is at a trash state people still want him gutted.

Because the Yasuo mains on your teams are always terrible while the ones on the enemy team always hard carry. Same for riven mains.

Is that confirmation bias?

yasuo mains are self centered assholes. it's one of the few champions that all players hate regardless of who plays them. (others being MasterYi Teemo Warwick and formerly Akali )
