Odessy needs touch ups

A few things for events like this, 1) Don't sell legendary skins and make them unplayable in the actual mode. 2) Every single game so far as Yasuo I have had 5 items only, please account for item costs in game. I hate playing with 5 items. 3) Basically if you don't play as a sona you lose. If 5 yasuo's go into crewreker or higher, you lose. Please make Augments take things like this into consideration so if the boys and I want to play 5 man yasuo, we can. 4) Have Augment limitations. It's clear that if I go on captain level without full augments slots unlocked I stand almost no chance. Force players to have them so it's not a wash.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.
I agree.
I'm assuming you're talking about having a healer, correct? Well, buying Ravenous Hydra, Blade of the Ruined King and Bloodthirster should fix this problem.
I agree.

I bought the kayn skin, you can't use kayn in the mode at all. thats lame. I get hes the main villain and all, but buying the most expensive skin in the set and not being able to use it is suck.

I agree.

It doesn't heal nearly enough nor can you buy all those items as yasuo and still build the core items needed to play as Yasuo on the same timing and movements he needs to function well.

I agree.

Yeah, you explained it yourself.

You can't really play as the guy you're going to kill at the end.

I've tried it a few times and I'd say it heals enough.

Also, what core items, "timings and movements" are you referring to?

You need movement speed and a seal/ crit build for Yasuo or he feels super sluggish. item 3046 2700 item 3031 3400 item 3149 3200 = 3% healing item 3230 3500 = 3% healing which is crazy. item 3080 3300= 5% heal also nothing

Super expensive with laughable healing.

You don't need to build movement speed and crit if you pick up the Skillful Augment, which gives you free crits at the edge of your auto attacks and your Steel Tempest's, and a movement speed burst for critting.

This frees up the build for building lots of Lifesteal items, and since it's free crits, and crit damage is increased by 50% on top of it, it boosts the damage, which in turn boosts the healing.

I think you're underestimating how much this build actually heals.

I forgot to mention, there's also the Infinity Augment that heals you for 5% of your missing health per Steel Tempest.

They didn't really have to let us play with any of the skins. I think it's cool we get to test any of them out in the first place, personally.
Do you always get to build 6 items every single game you play of Summoner's Rift? I highly doubt it. Kind of an odd thing to pick on...
I've had friends go into onslaught with 5 Yasuos and win, Crewmember shouldn't be a problem at all. Honestly in my opinion all of the difficulties prior to onslaught are pretty easy.
As I stated above, anything under onslaught is pretty easy to beat regardless of augments. If it were impossible to do there wouldn't be missions for completing onslaught (the hardest difficulty) with 2 or fewer augments equipped.

Honestly, you might just need to play around with which augments you're running and what strategy you're using. There are so many possibilities. If you're super set on Yasuo maybe try having designated DPS/Utility/Tanky players. There are a few cool Yasuo augments that allow him to aid teammates-- shields, buffs, etc.

I'm not saying it's not, but skins = wins. If I bought the most expensive skin, It would be nice to use it for the mode it's ment for.

Usually yes I do. Limiting me on gold while almost every other character isn't limited since item costs differ for champion types feels bad. Sona is at full build, I'm at half cause he items cost 2200 and mine cost 3400

Tough to say when its solo vs pre made teams.

Record yourself beating onslaught as 5 yasuo's with 2 augments and i'll side with you.

Hard to say since solo play is difficult cause you can end up with challenger or bronze players or just uninformed players.

If you bought the skin just use it in norms or something, nobody is forcing you to play Odyssey. It's fair enough to complain that Kayn isn't playable but they made him the final boss. (plus his wall walking ability would probably feel pretty useless in the open terrain maps).

I looked at your match history before Odyssey and you most certainly DID NOT, ahh. To say you reach full build EVERY GAME is just ridiculous. Not every game lasts long enough for everyone to reach full build. The gold cap in Odyssey forces you to choose only the most necessary items for your build. And different items have different prices for a reason... not all items are created equal. The reason sona is reaching full build and you aren't is probably because she's opting for some support items alongside her AP, support items like Redemption (2100g) or Ardent Censer (2300g) being notably cheaper than say a Bloodthirster (3,500g). It's totally fair as Redemption and Ardent Censer don't offer as much individually as The Bloodthirster will.

Tough to say when its solo vs pre made teams.

That's fair enough, but I personally played every mode solo at least a few times, and beat onslaught with a team of randoms. I don't think Captain or Crewmember are hard at all, solo or pre-made. That's also my opinion, but I think playing the mode more might help you out.

Record yourself beating onslaught as 5 yasuo's with 2 augments and i'll side with you.

My strategy for 5 of the same champion in onslaught would probably either be Jinx or Ziggs. I don't personally play a lot of Yasuo, not really my style. I'm sure other people have done it though, go google it or something.

I hate this argument because League's PvE gamemodes are NOTHING like ranked solo-queue, or even like regular PvP League in general. Sure some of the basic mechanics might help-- like knowing how to effectively kite or the barebones controls of the game, but honestly pretty different in every other aspect. Being uninformed is another thing completely. It'll undoubtedly be more difficult to coordinate strategies with random players but you yourself said "if the boys and I want to play 5 man yasuo" in the original post so you obviously have friends you can play with.
