A friendly reminder to everyone in low ELO:

SaltyToplaneGoat·Aug 18, 2015·3 votes·470 views

Stop playing Yasuo. No seriously, he's a high-skill champ. And if you HAD that high skill, you would definetly be not sitting at the ELO we are currently playing at. (low gold in my case).

I have seen this only with Yasuo, with not a single other champ. mostly the end stats are something like 1/7/2 or something, or maybe 2/8/2, doesn't matter, you made your team lose the moment you picked a champion way above your level. You want to win games and climb in ranks? Then play champs you can actually play. When you made it to plat you can try picking him up again but until then it's a bad idea.

Thank you for your attention.

Wow, it's almost like people think you're an asshole.

That's my secret: I AM an asshole - or at least I don't care if people percieve me as one. Now, what are you going to do about it? ^^

Not much, report your thread as offensive and move on because arguing is for people who have nothing to do in their lives.

Dunno, is it offensive to tell people to stop playing champions they cannot handle and making their team lose in the progress? I think not.

I don't think it's a secret...

I never really made it one, so... shrugs

High skillcap? Please, it's press R to win. People will build knockups comps around Yasuo just because his Q could take some skill to land lmao.

And because people think that they go 1/8/0 in my games. They press R and die, pretty much without any effect. It's not just his mechanics,... this champ requires a minimum of strategical knowledge and situation judgement - a minumum of basics that is pretty much nonexistent at this ELO.

Every champion requires a minimum of strategical knowledge and situation judgement, not just Yasuo.

Some require more than others to work out tho. I did not come up with that, it's simply how different champions are designed.

I've seen Yasuo's own at even lower elos than that. Many people are in low elos more for bad decision making and general lack of strategic smarts than because they lack the mechanics to play a champ like Yasuo.

People want to learn this champions, because they are fun. Ofc people could play boring shit like janna and get 1 tier higher but who REALLY wants that? Its a game, let the people have fun and dont care about it, its not your decision anyway to pick their champions.

1.) If you are still LEARNING a champ, don't do that in ranked. We have teambuilder for that.

2.) I'm pretty much fine with every other champion, Yasuo is the only one who keeps feeding in my games over and over again, be it on my or the enemy team. out of 15 yasuo players there is maybe ONE who knows what he is doing at my level. And because they want to "have fun" they ruin the experience for their four teammates...

I've had Yasuo carry alot of games and played very nicely at my ELO (mid/high silver) that is to say, aside from whenever someone on the opposing team first picks him and I pick Tryndamere turning him into my personal babysitter instead of a hypercarry. <3
