Please keep this in mind when you call Yasuo op.

Today a Yasuo, after getting oneshot by my Malphites "Unstoppable Force", wrote this:

"WTF I WINDWALLED????"

Plat ELO. Just saying.

Trust me, it doesn't matter how op you think Yasuo is. The people playing him make more than up for that.

Because they can't win or do well with other champions if they pick him. Most of the people I know who use Yasuo can't go positive in half their games without picking a really easy champion with a regenerating shield in combat, a wind wall, double crit, 50% bonus armor pen for 15 seconds on ult, a 0.5 sec E cooldown at rank 1, etc.

Would be a terrible shame if a champion was coming out shortly who could block a Yasuo into some kind of structure around the turret he just dived and deal true damage basics, huh? -sips chamo-Camille tea- Camille

Yeah but here is the thing...they also can't do so with Yasuo, more often than not ^^

I go by two simple rules for a champ if they are "broken" rather than just go along with everybody who says they are.

  • Can people who generally perform poorly with that champion class (like fighters) do well, perhaps exceptionally so, with this one particular champion?
  • Can people playing this champion go from a 0-3 or so deficit to having 15-20 kills within the span of 20 minutes?

Basically if the answer to both is yes, the champ is broken. I know people who have a hard time with mages and assassins, they tried fighters, end up using yasuo or yi and surprise they get 25-30 kills a game.

Plat ELO though? Lucky. I'd love to learn more from higher elo people!!

You are overlooking the most important fact however:

No matter how far ahead a Yasuo gets, he will, inevitably. go yolo 1v5, die and give away free dragons/barons :-)

Seen it many times. So focused on kills they forget the actual concept of winning is NGB - Nexus go boom! Turrets, dragons, barons, inhibitors are more important than how many pentas can you get. The new Ask Riot said Yasuo nerfs are incoming so thank Nagakabouros for that Illaoi
