A post reminding you that Yasuo is broken

zeskgames··11 votes·936 views

Before we start, yes I was dumpstered by a Yasuo recently. So fucking sue me. After saying that all the Yasuo mains will have dashed away from this post by now, so it's safe for everyone else to come out. Be being beaten by Yasuo doesn't change the fact that he's broken beyond belief. He has a strong early, mid, and late game. Has two bullshit passives, one for defense one for offence. Infinite dashes and stickiness, can build literally whatever he wants and still do the most damage in a game (hell he could go full AP and still the most damage on the team). He just needs a item 3046 and a item 3022 and BOOM, you're a tank. Add in a item 1053 and he's unkillable. The best/worst part? It takes no skill to play Yasuo correctly? Why? compensation, if anyone were to ask me "who is the perfect champ?" I would say Yasuo, because he has no weaknesses, every weakness we should have is countered by a strength.

  • He's squishy!, his passive and the fact that he can build 2 items and be a tank compensates for that

  • He gets shit on by ranged champions! Except for the fact he has the ability to block 99.9% of all ranged attacks.

  • He's dead if he gets CC'd! With windwall and infinite dashes? Good luck hitting him with any.

  • Just ban him! There's a reason I only play draft pick. But I swear to god Riot is working on a "bug" right now that makes Yas unbanable, mark my words!

If there are any Yasuo mains left in the comments, congrats you can take light criticism, want a cookie? But seriously I ask you this, how do you beat a champion with no flaws. And before you say it, all Yasuos have a once track mind, very easy to tell what they're thinking, you'll all fall on the floor and shout "GIT GUD! GIT GUD! GIT GUD!" I will take all git guds as acceptance that Yasuo has no flaws. Because essentially that's what your saying, when you can think of no actually counterplay other than to be challenger.

Well, well, well, look who dashed into my cross-hairs. Some sweaty Yasuo main thinking they're hot shit. If you could read, (which you obviously can't , seeing as you main a champion that doesn't require brain capacity to play well. I think what you are trying to say here is that you can't see the obvious weaknesses either. You dash around flashing your mastery and screaming "GG %%%GOTS!" but you don't know how to defeat him. That's why you play him, that's why you blindly defend him. Because you don't know how to counter him yourself.

ayyyy u are actually a meme

Imagine a melee AD carry that is what yasuo in a nutshell is. He is one of the squishiest champions in a game. You can play however bruiser yasuo with trinity botrk pd but that is not as good.

  • He gets shit on by ranged champions! Except for the fact he has the ability to block 99.9% of all ranged attacks.

None ever said he gets shit on by ranged champions. He is even viable botlane pick.

  • He's dead if he gets CC'd! With windwall and infinite dashes? Good luck hitting him with any.

Dont use every single ability in a same time and windwall wont block everything His dashes have a fixed distance. YOU KNOW WHERE HE LL END.. AIM THERE

I understand high tempo champion is extremly complicated to fight for low elo players because they dont know how to slow down the tempo of minion wave.. or farm under tower or gank a yasuo pick..

  • Just ban him! There's a reason I only play draft pick. But I swear to god Riot is working on a "bug" right now that makes Yas unbanable, mark my words!

Yes you should be banning him if you are low elo because he is known noob stomper. If I were to boost someone i would just spam yasuo/katarina

Yes on paper yasuo is OP

He has no cooldowns on 2 abilities He has windwall He has chain lock He has unparalleld mobility He has good item spikes His shield used to be an excuse for bad base stats but ever since he gains it on his ultimate thats not true

And then you realise. In order to maximize his dps yasuo is forced to push a lane (Which is a bad thing unless you are botlane yasuo you can get spam ganked) His poke draws minion aggro (Same as azirs) this champions poke was always overated HIS E HAS A FIXED DISTANCE (Always what 500 range use that to your advantage because with that knowledge you can hit him) Duck left and right and his q ll be hard to stack. Just do a sharp turn every 1.5 seconds

Build bramble tabi. Use freeze as a tactic

He is one of the squishiest champions in a game.

Just buy a phantom dancer and a frozen mallet and TA-DAH you're as unkillable as a full build Poppy but deal twice the damage.

gank a yasuo pick

Do you want to give the Yasuo a double kill, because that's how you give Yasuo a double kill. Yasuo is the king of 1v2s no champion in the game is better at it than him.

Build bramble tabi

Building armor makes Yasuo stronger

Yes on paper yasuo is OP

That's the only true thing you've said this entire post. It'll take more than that to earn you a cookie

Zed genius2 votes

what's the point of posting a "discussion" if you are going to deny everyone else's opinions?

zeskgames1 votes

You're starting to feel it arn't you, the sence that no matter what you do I'll still be here, rejecting everything you throw at me effortlessly as though it were just, I don't know a gust of wind? That's exactly how every single player feels when up against a Yasuo, that sense of hopelessness, that everything they do, whatever they throw is never enough to stop him. That's how I feel whenever I'm up against a Yasuo, there's nothing I can do, I just have to convince my team to surrender at 15 to deny the Yasuo satisfaction of being in the game any longer. It's not like I haven't tried to defeat him it's just every time I do he just gets back up, dashes it off and one shots me, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. And then poof! Nexus is destroyed, I never stood a chance. But you wouldn't know anything about that since you've never been on the receiving end of a Yasuo's blade.

Zed genius2 votes

wait you're saying I haven't played versus a yasuo before?lmao

zeskgames1 votes

It really feels like it since you don't seem to recognize how powerful he is.

Zed genius2 votes

why would I recognise something that is not true?

zeskgames1 votes

We could have this debate until the end of time and my point would still stand. Yasuo is one of the strongest champions in the game due to an overloaded kit and no matter what you say or do it won't change that.

Zed genius2 votes

your point doesn't stand with 0 valid arguments in my opinion, but what do I know

zeskgames1 votes

My argument is more valid than ever, just look at any video, any post about Yasuo and you will see the evidence of how powerful he is. But, if you want specifics, remember the Frozen Mallet Phantom Dancer Yasuo meta? Remember how fun and balanced that was? If not then you must be new around here.

Zed genius2 votes

alright let me also give you a "valid" argument of mine. AD FIDDLESTICKS IS SO BROKEN HE HAS NO COUNTERPLAY HIS AUTO ATTACKS DO 100000 DAMAGE LEVEL 1 HE INSTA KILLS ME WITH COURAGE OF THE COLOSSUS PLS NERF FIDDLESTICKS OR IMMA COMMINT SUICIDE!! is that good enough?

Mordepool2 votes

I don't like him but he's not broken just annoying that all you can do is turtle and poke from under turret. Since any enemy jungle pressure could easily give up a kill.

Zed genius1 votes

i like the rationality even though you dislike yasuo

Dr Dog2 votes

hes like teemo, bronzies cant handle him and want him nerfed even though he's in a shit place as a champion rn, well actually more like yi, yes if he gets fed he has pretty much no counterplay like yi BUT if he doesnt get ahead he is one of the most useless champs in the entire game like yi, obviously he's gonna seem broken in lower tiers (or unranked in your case) when your teams are likley to feed him beyond belief but if he truly was broken he would be picked constantly in worlds rn and in higher tiers but he isnt because he really isnt broken, now if you want to really see a champ strong at all stages with no flaws and ya know actually is broken look at tristana

zeskgames1 votes

There is a big difference between Yasuo and Yi, Yi 's only trait is damage. That's all he does. But Yasuo, in additon to godly damage, provides the most consistent form of CC in the entire game, every 4 seconds your team gets a free five man knock-up. When a Yi falls behind he can't do anything, when a Yasuo falls behind he'll just go around initiating teamfights and getting fed off of assists.

Top lane at least poppy and pantheon body yas as well as Shen and tryndamere/riven

Nasus destroys Yasuo.

Oh you're trying to get a way?

Let's see... Wither... Followed by Spirit Fire, Followed by a cane and boom half HP or more is gone... Just need another cane and you're OP annoying Yas is dead as a door nail.

zeskgames1 votes

You have to remember, Nasus's weakness is a cripplingly bad early games. Do you know who has a flawless early game? Yasuo, do you know who snowballs really hard off of weak early games? Yasuo. Not to mention Nasus's ultimate gives him more armor to shred through and a larger hitbox to Q you with. Using Nasus ult is literally begging to get oneshot by a Yasuo ult. And last time I checked wither doesn't stop dashes, so he can still juke away from you. Yasuo counter's nasus on literally every level.

When you have Yasuo on the run he has no minions to dash through....

Yasuo doesn't counter Nasus a single bit. Unless he absolutely denies him 100% the first 10 minutes.

No Yasuo I laned against was good enough to completely shut me down. Sure I lost against a few pretty good Yasuos, or against Yasuos that had tons of help from their jungler.

As Nasus I will lose early game but after level 6 and Sheen all bets are off. Once I get back to lane and Yasuo tries to push you around all you gotta do is give him a cane or two and he backs off. Most of his HP is gone if he takes a few canes, Yas has no sustain thats when he learns his place.

Nasus is the bigger tougher dog in the top lane.

You where demolished in that game, but not by the yasuo. Look man I will give you the heads up now, if you keep spamming posts like this your gonna be punished on the boards in addition to your in game punishment. You need untilt yourself pronto, I don't know what you do when life stresses you out but id encourage you to seek some RnR bruh.

@ everybody else, give it up OP is on a rampage/crusade here and its unlikely your gonna find him to be calm, rational, or logical. You don't need to take my word just click on his profile and look over his recent posts.

zeskgames1 votes

A crusade hmm? Actually I do like the sound of that, a crusade against cancer, against the toxisity that is Yasuo and those who play him by using toxisity itself. Sounds like a good time to me.

I was thinking more like Don Quixote.

zeskgames1 votes

And I'm think along the lines of Beowulf. Where a monster of pure evil, born of sin, spawn of Cain, emerges from his cavern below to bring death and destruction upon the world leaving nothing but burned villages and smashed men (that's how they described it in the text, interpret it as you will). And who is there to stop him? A single man, who must fight the overwhelming odds to defeat Grendel and send him to the hell from whence he came. Soon I'll find the secret to defeat Yasuo, since no one else is willing or able. That day will come eventually, and when it does Riot will probably try to silence me, but what else is new?
