I know there are memes revolving around certain champs and their player bases when it comes to behaviors tendencies and the like but i have never seen a champion get more consistently be beaten to a pulp than a . Even with the gracious amount of safety nets and lack of a resource people still manage to go 2/11 on him consitently they also never seem to have breaks like they will be egregiously behind and still dive head long into 3 people like "lmao what are consequences i got this". They never seem to stop they just running at their enemies until they succeed or the defeat screen plays, how do they not take a step back and just farm it's baffling that this the norm they either steam roll or get destroyed.

Yasuo is a horrible lovecraftian being of suck and failure that infects anyone foolish enough to play him for too long. Once corrupted, you will begin to play like a typical Yasuo main, diving headlong into 4 enemies too fast for your team to follow up even if you weren't already 0/7 and the attempt had a CHANCE to succeed... then flaming your team for throwing the game when you inevitably die. As the weeb-edgelord blight takes hold, you will begin to feel like every other player in the game is there for your benefit, and will begin blaming your teammates for not picking entire teams of knockup champs to set you up... while you will lose all respect for the enemy no matter how fed they are, convinced you can 1v5 them using only the power of anime and your massively inflated ego.

Pray for the Yasuo main, friend.... for while they may walk and breath and speak like a person they are well and truly dead inside. Lost in a endless horrific void of narcissism and pocky from which there is no escape, and where no joy can reach their shrunken hearts.

My theory: Toxic champions can make toxic players (arrogance counted too).

When a champ like Yasuo has so much in his kit, tools such as a shield that's anti-poke, mobility that uses your own minion wave against you, an ultimate that for some reason puts you even out of turret range (I tested it. Doesn't even show in melee range sometimes), a windwall that blocks about 98% of all champions projectiles abilities, and other stuff that I can't mention all really.

A champ like Yasuo can make the player feel invincible due to how what he simply has and possibly ignore the weaknesses the champion has.

I cannot tell you the amount of time an enemy Yasuo flamed me and called me a hacker when his windwall didn't block my Vel'Koz R.

I tried playing that champ before. He has so much in his kit. I think removing some of the mechanics will time down the champion and actually force players to play smarter and more care.

Some time ago a high elo player (really don't remember who was) said that because of all the tools Yasuo has, he is very powerful in almost every stage of the game, resulting in overconfidence and risky plays.

From his perspective, the only difficulty as a Yasuo player was restraining himself from making overly aggressive moves. Since most players don't even think about it, they tend to go all-in with him, the only possible results being a fed Yasuo or a feeding one.

Ok... why do you see people playing Annie having terrible KDA? Or things like ashe? Or any of the original champions that were in the game?

Because he has the abilities to hard outplay the enemy, even if behind. Everyone, except the Yasuo player, can predict how this will end up in most cases tho

very popular in low elo where ppl have no idea what/when a powerspike is. ppl cant just play safe until they have 2 items for their 100% crit and are unkillable.

so yeah.

also ppl just mash e on minions randomly lol

Because he's a "roll face on keyboard, get kills" kind of champion.

TBH because his laning phase is so good you feel like your god mode, and you kinda are 1v1. But once it gets to teamfights this champion is god awful. He is 100% reliant on his team to engage and while his DPS is good, its all melee ranged and one overstep with your E and you just die because you're as squishy as an ADC. If they wanted to rework him I would buff his passive shield duration and amount, but completely remove / change the crit part of his passive. Maybe make him have normal crit damage and instead of double crit just give him crit chance as he levels up.
