No.

LuxTwistedFate Orianna Azir These champions are squishy, they don't have automatic, resourceless 510HP shields, 40% lifesteal (Warlord's + item 3072, a wall that blocks every ranged damaging ability and crazy mobility.

Did I mention they also use a resource called mana?

IS this troll post?

Lux is safest midlaner in the game, Literaly only mage on who mejai is core because of that Oriana is also one of the safest midlaners in the game

yes azir and tf are squishy BUT they are ranged and thats huge

Yasuo has pathetic base stats because of that shield which lasts 1 sec and can be proced by an auto Yasuo is melee He has 400 range dash. His mobilty is minion based windwall has huge cd

Based of experience most of Yasuo players die really early in teamfights

First of all, mana usage has nothing to do with squishiness. Second, go look at Yasuo's stats. Go do it and then compare them to those mages you just mentioned. You'll find that their defenses are very comparable. Yes, Yasuo has a refreshing shield, mobility, and the wind wall. All of that is true. But you know what Yasuo also has that those mages don't? Risk inherent to his playstyle.

They can an all attack from far beyond melee range. They can siege towers and provide zone control. Yasuo has mobility, damage, and the need to get really up close and personal to do most of that damage. Range is tremendously powerful, perhaps more so than any other mechanic in League of Legends. That is why melee champions do more damage, have shields, sustain, and so on. Because being melee puts them at an inherent disadvantage.

And as for the life steal? Please. Warlord's procs once every two seconds, which is every 3-4 AAs if he's not hitting and running. The same applies to marksmen, which as I said, have the safety provided by attack range, as well as their front line to protect them in a fight. They're also squishy as hell and build sustain to mitgate their low defensive stats.

That's the thing, man. Yasuo has ADC stats to do a melee job, so you better believe he'll have a strong kit to get it done.

What you didnt mention is that those are range champions, with very long range pokes.

You're comparing champions with completely different playstyles.

It's like comparing a dog to a moose; one clearly looks better (the moose appears to be bigger and stronger) but they're completely different animals.

Yasuo is fine as he is..easy to gank.The only thing with yasuo that is annoying, i that shield, you can take it down, but you can;t keep it down.If they would make it like malpihte shield he would be in a great spot;) balanced;)

Orianna

PASSIVE: The Ball grants whomever it is attached to bonus armor and magic resistance.

BONUS RESISTANCES: 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30

ACTIVE: Orianna commands The Ball to fly to the target allied champion or herself and attach itself to her target, dealing magic damage to all enemies it passes through and shielding her target on arrival for 133.3% of its damage for 4 seconds.

Look i hate Yasuo but if you're gonna argue "This squishy champion is not squishy because he has defense mechanics", then then Lux and Orianna aren't squishy either

Wait did I miss something? Yasuo is a problem? Where have I been cause every Yasuo I get in lane proceeds to give me 10+ kills a game.

How is Orianna squishy? She has a rather good shield and free MR and Armor (i main Ori) Along with Athenes and Houglass she has some good TEH

Lux tf and orianna wreck yasuo

Orianna has a hard time however if she doesn't manage her ball properly

Azir was a heavy yasuo counter but I don't know after all the overnerfs

Yasuo does poke/sustained damage early/mid. These champions you listed can burst you at level 6 or until they hit their powerspike. There is the difference.

Lux Ori and Azir all have better shields. Yasuo's is broken with 1 auto

Myles JT11/26/2015, 11:52:36 PM1 votes

I do agree that it isn't exactly right to call Yasuo squishy because of the all the factors that can and will keep him alive even in some of the dumbest situations, but using better examples would help prove your point better. Like: Khazix Talon Zed Diana Shaco These champs are squishy.

Upset that Yasuo has a shield.

Names three mages who have stronger shields as a comparison.

Seems legit.

tfw op has no idea what he's talking about

Lux kills you from 1k range and has a refreshing shield that she can choose to use whenever she wants whereas Yasuo cannot. Twisted Fate is also ranged and has targeted hard CC Orianna has an on demand shield that also provides resists is another ranged mage and can 100-0 a carry while taking half the life bars of the rest of the team while providing tons of utility Azir burst you down from 1k range and when you get close to him he has a fuck you button with his ult or he can dash away. Or he can insec your entire team all at once. AND HAS A SHIELD

3 OUT OF THE 4 CHAMPIONS YOU LISTED HAVE SHIELDS THEY CAN GET WHENEVER THEY WANT LMFAO

Not to mention that they get tanky for building full offense with items like this item 3001 item 3151 item 3027 item 3116 item 3157
