Even if you took out the scaling damage on Yasuos Q, he would be almost the exact same because of his kit. A kit makes a champion broken, not the scaling or damage that they put out. Take Fizz for example, other champions have much higher scalings on there abilities, however, it's the WAY Fizz dishes out that damage, that makes his 200 AP burst, higher than an Ahris 200 AP burst. Food for thought.
MissingKayo2 votesI feel like I should note a strong kit in concept =/= a strong champion. Yes, Yasuo and Fizz are annoying as all hell to play against, but neither of them are broken in terms of doing too well in actual winrates and performance.
GULAG 4 U2 votesShhh, you can't post the truth about yasuo, the salty scrubs will downvote and QQ >.>
IcyPepper2 votesHis bug was fixed, most of us have put down the pitchforks.
GULAG 4 U1 votesI still see that the QQ is very strong, but yeah it's getting better.
But let's be honest, you can make a shitpost with 0 content about Yasuo and get upvoted and make a shitpost with 0 content about literally any other cancerous champion and get downvoted.
IcyPepper1 votesThere's a few others. It seems to rotate.
But, unfortunately, there's fuel to the fire that keeps the hate of Yasuo going. When he had that aa-ult bug, he should have been disabled but Riot did not. On a champion with a double-crit passive. That was not a good move on Riot's part. It gives off the impression, whether it's true or not, that Yasuo is favored by Riot.
And then there's posts like yours that are passive aggressive against anyone who might have a negative opinion of Yasuo. Someone sees it, argues with you, and the circlejerk continues. You might not think so, but that does contribute to the QQ.
GULAG 4 U1 votesActually yes, I'm relatively passive aggressive when I read my comments, you're right, thanks for pointing it out.
Also it's not really true Yasuo was favoured, it's more lee sin or riven.
IcyPepper1 votesLee Sin and Riven are historic cases, most definitely and probably a lot worse than Yasuo has it. Most players have given Riven some breathing room after she suffered being mediocre for nearly an entire meta, and the Lee Sin hate has died down since other junglers are rising to the top.
But yeah, they were definitely poster/favorite children back in the day, and Rito still has a soft spot for Lee...
And I too struggle with being a bit too passive aggressive myself, so don't expect me to lecture you on it :<
GULAG 4 U1 votesWell it's okay, because I didn't really ever thought if I was passively aggressive.
Ruin Lance2 votesif yasuo didn't have scaling damage he would actually be god awful. i think you're just a biased yasuo hater.

could have lower numbers in his kit and I'd still say his kit is good. Of course I'm happy the numbers aren't lower....
