His ridiculous skillset basically laughs at concepts like "power Budget" and "counterplay" and has no place in this game.
I'm extremely tired in wasting a ban in this monstruosity every game just because everytime he appears is an autowin for his team; it's ridiculous.
His counterplay basically is "do this dozen things perfectly until you fail and yasuo kills you". Just a total joke.
Syrile12 votesI would totally agree with this except the "balance" team would make him even more overloaded and unbalanced... somehow???
Also, the JG ganking /is/ the target to dash through since he actually does go through him instead of towards him. Nothing about Yasuo is even remotely fun for anyone except Yasuo mains. And Riot is fine with that. They would rather have the players that love him play than the 70%+ percent of the community that bans him.

sorry, bad wording, i meant actually being in front of him while he is backing away, making it so that he's more than a flash distance away from being killed.
Bronze5Yasuoxxx8 votesBoards are literally just 70% silver kids complaining about yasuo when they dont even try to counter him.
There are tons of champions to counter yasuo, YOU just dont bother learning them, yasuo does not need a rework, hes in the worst state than he has ever been, dmg nerf and conqueror nerfs made him near to useless against most midlaners.
It is about time people seriously stop crying on the boards after they feed their asses off against a yasuo when they have no idea how they counter him.

Boards always gets me a good laugh, so many people crying that yas is broken.

You get downvoted when what you said is a perfect summary of Boards....
People wonder why there's no riot presence on the boards... especially in this section.
There's no such thing as a logical, fair or 2 sided conversation on these boards.
99% of the threads are "I just lost to Vayne/Riven/Yasuo so this champ is broken".
Most of which are just salt and rage induced posts full of bias that don't hold any meaningful feedback or thoughts.
All the people who post constructive feedback have gone to Reddit because it's a much better environment.
Doge20201 votesAdd nasus to that list of complained champs when he is actual dogshit and people just see a buff and block out the fact that he has very clear and easy weaknesses to take advantage of. If they took the time to learn the champ and learn the matchup then they would be complaining far less about X champ. I used to agree that darius is usually extremely overpowered as a top laner during lane, but then I looked at a spread sheet that described Darius’s counters and how the darius plays in that countered matchup. I also played darius a few times and now I have almost no trouble against him when I play against him, Quinn makes the Darius’s lane hell and I can get so fed lol.

Does that really matter when the 0/10 powerspike is real?
Bronze5Yasuoxxx1 votesThat is not true, if you manage to go 0/10 on YASUO you will not comeback, it does not matter if he gets a shiv and a IE if the enemy mid laner is fed.
Yasuo is in the worst state ever, conqueror is getting yet another nerf making yasuo even more useless.
It is about time people realized that the problem is not yasuo,but you for not trying to counter him in anyway.

he has almost a 70 percent banrate in dia +. All those diamond players must not know how to play against him huh?
Spicy Rice1 votesExcept they aren't banning him because they think he's op, they ban him because he is annoying to fight against.
However, something being annoying is t exactly a good reason to nerf or change it.

No, they ban him because they understand his kit is problematic. Not exactly overpowered, but he gets many freebees and breaks many of the norms a champ is supposed to have within their power budget. Also! Being annoying or frustrating to play against IS something that riot nerfs and reworks for. Akali, the patch before her shroud was removed had a -44 percent winrate in all elos including diamond+ and her banrate was still ridiculous at around 70 percent because of how frustrating the shroud made her to lane against. Even though most of her power was already stripped away from her, riot decided to take away her obscured only because of how frustrating she made both normals and in ranked feel. So yes sorry to say even if your take on yasuo is more accurate than others. A change or a nerf is still warranted. The only reason why yasuo is safe from this sort of treament is because not only is he popular in every elo and a fan favorite in league due to his swordsman-anime-weeb appeal but also sells skins like hotcakes. He also has a 50 percent banrate by LCS players.
Syrile6 votesBut no matter what, if he even has a tiny understanding of the character, he can dash through the JG to relative safety if he keeps moving. And if you try to CC him from range, wind-wall. If he has a ward, he can dash into some JG camps to escape, or just slaughter you both if he has one or two items. But the main thing is, he has plenty of escape tools as he has no real cooldown to talk about on dashes. And there can easily be minions behind him if he has you pushed under turret. Which is not uncommon for a lot of players. And unless the JG is someone with hyper-speed, he just walks away if he has even slightly decent warding.
Light Burner4 votesRiot was right the boards are actually useless. All they do is cry about yasuo who is actually not even that strong or oppressive. I've responded to more than enough comments about this champion from now on imma just say Riot right boards are useless on every yasuo post i see.
cheex9193 votesor, just call your jg to gank, he doesnt have a escape because theres no minions behind him, unless your jungle is an idiot and goes in front of him to give him a dash target
kingDeDeDarius5 votesOr, unless he uses Q3 to self peel...and windwall to block follow up
Spicy Rice1 votesWhich is why you dont gank when he has both q3 up and windwall up?
Or you gank, get them out, and then come back 8 secs later...
Like, you can make the same argument for any champ and make them seem ungankable.
mack91122 votesYas is such an easy champion to deal with.
Anomandarist2 votesHis counter play basically is "do this dozen things perfectly until you fail and yasuo kills you". Just a total joke.
what are these dozen things that you have to do perfectly?
I think your discussion would go in a more meaningful direction if you listed your dozen or so things you have to do perfectly.
Then their could be an exchange of ideas to further every ones knowledge of how to deal Yasuo.
