Is there any reason that Yasuo..

Invalidates every other class? You can't build tank against him because 50% bonus armor pen for no reason. Free shield from moving + from ultimate so he automatically has trades going in his favor. They say he needs his shield or he'll be squishy.. isn't that kind of the point? By the way they have yet to give him a meaningful nerf. He still gets 100 percent crit with two items, so even if you shut him down early he still gets to reach his high burst fantasy. He has unlimited dashes so you can't run away from him if minions are within eye sight of you. I haven't even mentioned all of his problems but I'd like to have a discussion about why he's in an okay state. He's incredibly broken.

Well then...don't trade with him when the shield is up? I know that's easy for me to say as a Kayle main but seriously its not hard to do. Even Fizz can pop it before going in for a trade, especially since Yasuo actually has trouble getting it up at earlier levels.

If you use an ability to pop his shield and he all ins you, when he ults his shield refreshes.

Yes. True. These are facts. Good job. This does change, however, literally nothing, because to do that, he has to...you know...go all in. Murder him. Its not hard.

I have yet to find any weaknesses he has. Being hard to play isn't a weakness.

He's not hard to play.

He's supposed to be one of the hardest champions in the game to use right.

lol why all the yasuo hate its not the champ in general its the way he is itemized they buffed alot of items and nerfed some others not really paying much attention as to the up side to some champs

take a look at vayne the changed rageblade and that was a hyper carry item for her

changes to black cleaver and triforce all made there marks

its not yasuo as a whole they nerfed and buffed items based on champion needs never thinking about how that would effect the one who already use them or could sub one into their kit

My favorite argument that yasuo mains had was ''He does less damage because 90% AD instead of 100%!''

Pretty sure that double crit chance allows you to build more damage and less crit chance....

Actually Bruisers do quite well against him

The only problems with Yasuo as a design are:

  • Double Crit breaking his power curve and removing the drawbacks associated with itemizing heavily for crit
  • EQ removing the skill from landing tornadoes

In the state he's in, he's actually relatively balanced, even if he's annoying.

How are you having trouble with Yasuo when you play one of his hardest counters?

#1 Korean solo queue player has stated that Yasuo is a broken champion. Busted. Broken. Whatever any of you believe it doesn't really matter. I agree with the fact that he is Busted beyond all belief. The only thing hard about playing Yasuo is restraining yourself from going 1v5 and getting pentakills all day and making a mistake and dying.
