Yasuo has a 50% banrate and he's not even overpowered.

He's just so insanely unfun to lane / play against. His existence is just a compilation of everything players hate dealing with. This champion right here needs a rework more than Galio / Urgot / etc do. I don't see people banning Galio because he's unfun to play against.

Once 10 bans hit his ban rate will be 100%

EndlessSorcerer33 votes

It will be wonderful.

Giga Kahuna5 votes

it's actually gonna suck because practically every yasuo diamond or below is terrible and is generally a free lane win by buying two items

i'd rather fight yasuo over poppy

EndlessSorcerer9 votes

One detriment is that you won't get feeding Yasuo players on the enemy team.

One advantage is that you won't get feeding Yasuo players on your team.

It is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

The funny thing is, yeah low Elo Yas is very easy to beat most of the time, but Yasuo's winrate in low Elo is actually higher than in high Elo. So there seem to be many people unable to handle a supposedly high skillfloor champion, that is being played by often unskilled players (no offense, I'm G1, I'm not too good as well).

Giga Kahuna2 votes

if someone routinely loses to bad yasuos they deserve to be low elo

there's no real excuse to constantly lose to yasuo, especially if they're bad, other than you're not adjusting your playstyle or build specifically for him and are getting punished for making the same mistakes against yas all the time

Nop, yasuo is actually a little over the top, and he needs his E cd to be increased in early game

Half of that banrate is people who dont want shitty yas players on their team.

drakuIa4218 votes

if someone on your team pick intends yasuo and you ban yasuo, you're just putting yourself up for failure because then the other player will either pick a champ they're less confident with or they'll just troll.

EndlessSorcerer9 votes

If they plan to troll, I'm thankful I avoided the toxic player and dodge the game (or someone else does).

I'd rather learn they are toxic in the lobby rather than wait until I'm in the game and can't leave without punishment.

Also, knowing my luck with Yasuo players, they will probably feed and rage anyways.

hes so overpowered that his only weakness is how bad the player playing him is

funny thing about that, it does, it lowers mortality rate of cancer.

big pharma just wants to charge big bucks on treating and not curing.

Research done by the Mayo Clinic and others suggests that it's no better than a placebo.

Also, I could've used the example of him supporting eugenics.

Point being, highly respected members of our community can be wrong

Aren't placebos pretty effective though? (Well not as good as a real cure anyways, but still something)

There have been many cases where placebo has been more effective than shelf Ibuprofen, and many drugs we use regularly. Dont doubt the strength of placebo!

I ban him just because I'm tired of seeing him. I like diversity. If he's not banned I will see him in every. single. game.

Leetri4 votes

Food for thought, do people pick him that often because they finally see that their favourite champion is open so they seize the opportunity? If your absolute favourite champion was banned quite a lot, wouldn't you also jump at the chance to finally play it?

NightmareAmazoX4 votes

And Yasuo has a huge fan base like Lee, Maybe instead of destroying Yasuo, They should rework other champions so people could love them too, Why destroy something majority of people love? Instead make other champions feel more unique and have better kits so people could love them too.

Thurst281 votes

Because people don't love him because he is awesome to play. They love him because he is so strong.

Is he strong? Yes. Is he Overpowered? No. His balanced.

He's definitely on the higher side of balanced. I would not say that he's definitely balanced though. And he's far from healthy.

NightmareAmazoX1 votes

If he were on the higher side of the balanced, Why does he not even have a 10% ban rate? The OP is lying about 50% Ban rate and sheeps have up voted him, Yasuo hasn't been seen in LC$ even, He has 0% ban rate Master+.

Master + is like a very very small handful of players. They are .08% of the player base. He has a very significant ban rate in all other divisions.

Dude, First of all, Ban Rates on EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE, Only show ban rates of division PLATINUM+

He does not even have a 10% Ban rate on the NA server.

His global ban rate is 60%.

Majority (Especially Famous Players) use lolking.net and update their guides to playing a champion (Challenger Players) and their guides have over around 4 million+ views and still reply to comments until this very day using that website, If you look at weekly bans he has a small number ban rate & isn't even banned on Korean server at all, On North American Server if you check the weekly ban rates, He isn't banned as much as the OP or that website is saying.

Source: http://www.lolking.net/charts?region=na&type=bans&range=weekly&map=sr&queue=1x1&league=ranked

& if you want to go into more depth and check his ban rates monthly for specifically North American Server then he still isn't banned as much AT ALL.

Meanwhile lolking.net have alot of guides by alot of professional league OTP who make guides and still reply to comments & update their guides everytime something new happens worth noting related to their champions every new patch & their guides have over 3+ million views for like champions like Draven,Yasuo,Singed etc.

Even Lolking says somewhere that Yasuo has a 57.9% ban rate: http://www.lolking.net/champions/yasuo#!/overview

But there are different numbers on this site without explainations.

Leaugeofgraphs has simple charts with all champions included.

If you look at weekly bans he has a small number ban rate & isn't even banned on Korean server at all, On North American Server if you check the weekly ban rates, He isn't banned as much as the OP or that website is saying.

Some facts for you:

Yasuo ban rate: Bronze - Challenger: 59.6% Silver - Challenger: 56.3% Gold - Challenger: 47.4% Platinum - Challenger: 36.4% Diamond - Challenger: 21.2%

So his ban rate is way above the average ban rate at least in Bronze to Diamond.

And the game is not just for pro players. His crazy ban rates in lower elos matter. The OP is right about his overall ban rate.

so why would we rework a champion for 50% of the players that ban him?

why don't we listen the 50% other that don't find him unfun? you know, like me?

Because you're having fun at the expense of pissing everyone else off, that's why.

Yasuo does not have even have 50% win rate, He is mostly banned in NA, Still banned in EUW, But he is not banned at all on the Korean Server which we all know that server is filled with the most skilled players. Come at me with those down votes, I'm ready because stating facts aka TRUTH hurts doesn't it? HAHA XD.

Yasuo is more popular (thus, more commonly seen) than most of those picks even with his high ban rate.

Even if they are all annoying, Yasuo is far more likely to be seen than most of them.

decent point, doesn't change the fact he's not hard to lane against if you have a brain. Don't stand at and angle that allows him to dash straight to you. His Q is easily dodgable, his E can be anticipated, his knockup is only available with a huge indicator, his W has a 20sec cd.

I can agree his Ult should only be able to be used on his own knockups, that's make it more reliant on him going in than a Malphite ulting somebody and him pressing R

EndlessSorcerer15 votes

I don't have any issue laning against him. I primarily play melee fighters and tanks, most of whom with that matchup fairly easily and crush him.

My issue is that:

  • I don't trust my teammates to have the same competence
  • His Windwall is annoying during teamfights (blocking most ranged autoattacks, blocking picks/initiations depended on skillshots, negating/delaying burst)
  • He's a strong duelist (especially with PD and FM), letting him be an annoying splitpusher

While I am capable of handling him, I prefer not having to.
