No champion should be able to do this.

I don't care that he was fed. He's a Silver IV player who practically went ADC with Yasuo he spent so much time out of lane. Look at the time, look at his items, look at his score. This should not be possible. He has what, 32 bonus AD from items? Runes alone were providing him so much damage that he was able to melt me, a Nasus with ~160 stacks, with two Q's and an E. From 100% to 0% in about 2.8 seconds. It's not right, Riot. You know this is wrong. This is wrong from a balance standpoint and it's wrong in the sense that it's wrong to do this to your players. Your stubborn refusal to hear the concerns we've had with damage creep over the past three seasons makes you, Riot Games, officially the most toxic thing in your own game's community.

(So we're clear, readers. This isn't about Yasuo. This is about the damage creep. Yasuo just benefited in this game.)

How did he get this fed? My team was under tower after his third kill. How does a level 5 Yasuo get enoughreliable kills under turret to get this fed when he starts Shiv? Yeah, he's fed. Great. He didn't build damage. Being fed makes you snowball because you can get three BF swords or some wild shit like that. Yasuo didn't do that. Tell me why it's balanced for a champion that mobile to do that much damage with so few AD items.

Are you really saying the only way to snowball is buying BF? are you for real?

Yes of course he can dive your bot lane. He has a support 2 and your bot lane do not know how to play this lane so why not? Why not dive him?

So as Nasus you can't get fed if you have a completed Triforce at 10 minutes into the game? Triforce only has 25 AD so surely you wouldn't do any damage.

There is more to damage than just AD and AP. Yasuo's kit scales incredibly well with attack speed and crit and he was level 12 while your team average was 8.8. A 3.2 level advantage is huge. 3 levels for Yasuo is 7 AD, 6% attack speed, 8 armor, 3 MR, and 200 health. Take the opposite for you on Nasus. 3 levels down is missing 8 armor and 204 health as well as only have rank 1 ult while Yasuo has rank 2.

Sure I can. I never said Nasus didn't also benefit from this meta, and I've seen it before.

Yasuo didn't have a three level advantage until he stomped all over my team like a Roman winemaker. What allowed him to do that? That's my problem. That and the fact that he should still have to actually play. If you're going to rely entirely on crit, fine. You're Yasuo. Yasuo does that. But when crit alone is enough to kill a Nasus who's lifestealing for roughly 80 per Q and is reducing your armor in less than three seconds, the balance of the game is incredibly off.

Yasuo didn't used to be able to do this. When I played crit Yasuo back around when he first came out, I had to actually position and pick my shots to soften bruisers up before I went in for the kill, even when I had a couple levels on them. It was big damage, but I still could've died if I weren't careful. This Yasuo just waltzed right up to me and hit the Q. I put Wither on him, he presses E, then Q again, and I'm dead.

And why shouldn't he? He has 14 kills at 16 minutes with 6550 gold worth of offensive items while you have 400 gold of defensive items in a ruby crystal. Put a 6.1k gold difference at 16 minutes between any 2 champions and the result is identical even back in season 4. Want to see what happened when I had a score like that on old Galio? It was just as stupid and this was with 3 less kills 9 minutes later in the game.

How did he get 14 kills on a team playing towers in 16 minutes with when he started Shiv? I'm not surprised he killed me. What irks me is that he was able to kill me in less than three seconds with that build.

any champion can do this you god damn morons i legit played aatrox support in silver and was 1v5ing enemys and my adc was 2 and 4 stop bitching about him its a god damn dead horse and he isnt even the worst thing right now.

I'm not bitching about Yasuo, I'm bitching about the very fact that any champion can do this right now. Yasuo merely happened to be the example today.
