Yasuo's 0/9 Power spike.

Zerenza·Mar 2, 2018·4 votes·6,635 views

I think that this is so strange, like everytime you dumpster a Yasuo in lane he comes back 10-15 minutes later and can 1v5. It's so annoying, like how do i beat someone if i have no idea what their capable of? Yasuo feels like you either crush him or he crushes you, and in both scenario's he'll get 2 items and get a penta.

Yes i understand he takes skill, but once you get fed(which to him means your 0/9) no champion takes skill, it takes skill to not lose lane with him, it doesn't take skill afterwards, that's what i'v noticed when playing against him and as him. I'v lost lane every single time i played yasuo, but once i got 2 items, it was like playing Jax, easy.

I don't like this champion, i understand that people hate the amount of complaining that comes with him, but i think it's warranted he's so annoying and hard to play against.

The game you're complaining about (I'm assuming) he never even went 0/9?

0/1, then 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 3/5, 4/5, 6/6, etc. Dude had more gold than you through the game? He also built his kit to duel/handle you solo and you died to that, and that's fair. Even if he ended up being like 40cs behind by the end of the game, he still had three more kills than you. 6 more deaths, sure, but that doesn't mean shit in his powerspike if he can still get 6 kills before 15 min.

They'll do it every game even when they aren't even gold.

You can be an item ahead, but since he can void your entire kid at will, his PD beats your items.

As for farming, his kit has 3 instant sources of damage on less than a 1 sec CD, with no cost on any. Pretty fucking impossible to miss CS.

Well, i'd like to assume that when you lost lane, hard, it takes a lot of time to get back into the game. For him it doesn't.

Also i was ahead of him in gold for the entire game, until the very end. I itemized against him as well, but all he did was build Phantom Dancer and IE+ Component items, completely counter's me? That's not fair in my opinion, 2 items shouldn't equal 3, not to mention i had 2 compotent items as well+sorc shoes and a full morello's. How come hexdrinker complete negaates all of that.

Yeah, I've noticed it as well, you can do really well against him and he just gets to erase the first X minutes in the game before he got his items.

play 20 straight ranked games of yasuo. i dare you.

suddenly you'll start to see the real bullshit of league, like auto losing match ups till you have x amount of gold unless they misplay AND you outplay.

or facing completely uninteractive laners like ahri , azir , and zoe.

or my personal favorite, which the jungler knows your the easiest shit in the world to gank and abuses it.

Yes i understand he takes skill

LOL. Yasuo only takes skill against good players that will punish his weaknesses and win while he's still 0/9. In low ranked games where players can't close out matches he doesn't require much skill. He just requires TIME. He can yolo into every fight and die... but give him enough time and eventually he scales to well that the same inane thing that he's done and died for 9 times already will actually WORK. He won't do anything different... he'll just have enough power that his 0/9 ass will get a triple kill by facerolling into you AGAIN. And once he's crested this point he can only get stronger, as he gets kills and gold almost accidentally by launching himself into you like a rabid wolverine.

His kit might require skill to use against a skilled player... but it doesn't take much skill to beat an UNskilled player. And there are PLENTY of those.

Meanwhile if a Yasuo dies once in my games he can't even get a comeback kill so yeh i dunno.

It's because crit builds normally require 3 crit items for 80% crit. His requires two for 100% and the damage loss is partially mitigated by IE. In the end it makes it well worth it considering his build is freed up after just 2 items to build whatever he wants situationally

The game you're talking about he never was 0/9 at any point. He also kept up in CS just fine.

You might have been ahead but your team comp was crap meanwhile his was good. Only one Ninja tabi against a team with no true AP -- you guys deserved to lose.

Its because Yasuo is one of the worst designed champs for League. The Dev needs firing.

Ahri BakaMar 3, 20181 votes

Actually , I really enjoy having a Yasuo in my team in ranked , I enjoy how he feeds and loses 2 towers , but carries as soon as he buys items , I never flame them , always cheer them because I know they can carry in fights whether I play Mid or support , I support my Yasuo for a free win " unless he is really dumb "

I think people need to just stop being bad when fighting against Yasuo. The champ is always a liability and I'm so tired of seeing people complain about him. Anyone that isn't outmatched isn't losing to the guy.

most yasuos just never make it back... yas always takes skill. in teamfights its not just auto attack and win, its dash around and use 2 abilities the whole time in a team fight. hes not typically easy
