Can someone tell me what makes Yas a fair champ?

So yeah. I would especially like someone from Riot provide me with some commentary regarding how Riot believes the current Yas is viable in the sense that he is "counterable." Can't wait to see "you gotta wait out his windwall… like wait 5 seconds for it to go away."

and what makes zyra support fair?

takes ignite and can 2v1 the lane for her adc because her base stats are absolutely disgusting.

what makes laning against someone that can zone you if you dont have a proper jungler to help you out fair?

only counterplay to zyras plants is stepping on them but she can activate them from a caitlyn aa range away.

you try to "counterplay" her and end up getting slowed and poked down some more by a ai plant.

fair?

no.

His lvl 1 windwall being on like a 20 second cooldown.

His mobility being tied to having something to dash to.

Being squishy af so any melee assassins can burst him much faster than he can burst them.

His ult requiring a knockup to proc

Also keep in mind that I'm not saying that Yasuo is the poster child for true balance, just that you asked for ways he's counterable and I'm listing things.

I would say he was completely fine if they removed his passive shield. That way there would be windows to actually outplay the guy...

yasuo is meant to counter range and ranged champions so it's not really a "design flaw" if that's exactly what he's meant to do. considering yasuo loses to most champs who are happy to get in his face since he himself is quite squishy and susceptible to burst

CertainlyT got nudes on people up top at Riot Games/Tencent so the company pretends like he's good at his job and allows his champions to be the most played in the game despite being incredibly toxic and anti-fun to play against. This way CertainlyT won't release the nudes that he has of the people up top.

That's why it's fair.

  • Mobility and ultimate need a pre-condition.
  • Can't defend against melees with Windwall.
  • High CD on Windwall.
  • Shield can be popped at pleasure by ranged.
  • Kit is built so he cna't build self sustain before lategame.
