so uh... why the hell is gameplay boards complaining about yasuo?

Popstar Ahri·Dec 13, 2015·3 votes·1,008 views

He is complete utter trash ever since the last nerfs, I rarely ever see yasuo mains do good, and the only time he was OP was when warlords bloodlust was broken (which got nerfed now). So why do people still have the yasuo syndrome from 2 years ago? I rarely ever see a good yasuo, while I have heard a shit ton and been in a ranked game where there is a duo that is a diamond-plat smurf playing yasuo at silver-gold and 50-50 they either do bad or they do good with a slighty below average K/D. And lets not forget he has a 45% winrate now... lmfao...

Because people hate him. Simple as that. It doesn't matter what his winrate is. It doesn't matter if he's OP or UP. All that matters is he's in a lot of games and people hate seeing him. They especially hate fighting him. That's really all there is to it. It's a simple formula.

Amount of irritation champ causes in game x Pick rate = frequency of complaint posts.

lmfao... banning yasuo over brand, and all other champs that are actually broken?

seeing a yasuo on the enemy team in ranked for me is a free win everytime.

I didn't say ban him... I was explaining why there are so many hate threads for him. He's irritating as hell and he's picked very frequently.

Because as we can see in the graph, players with a decent amount of experience (50+ games) have a winrate substantially higher than your 45%

And then you realize he has one of two abilities in the game that eat 100% of damage, can reach 100% crit with only two items, and snowballs ridiculously hard.

you sure as hell dont know how terrible statikk shiv is on yasuo now, and that IE does not do the crit damage like it used to, while yasuo has a -10% crit damage for his double crit chance passive.

Did you even play him before saying this?...

I never mentioned shiv, good job putting words into my mouth. You realize crits in league are psuedo RNG right? above 80% crit, you basically crit every time. "100% crit" is a fallacy because you dont need 100%. 70% is enough.

Yasuo is deceptively tanky and changes champion select from "who do i want to play" into "who can i play that doesnt use projectiles?". NO other champion IN THE GAME has an ability that just deletes other abilities before they even hit. theres ONE ultimate that is invulnerability, like yasuos windwall.
The reason why yasuo is toxic is because he has ALL the tools to stall the lane in such a way that it makes him frustrating to play against - he puts you on tilt because you just dont do damage; you either blow your load on your shield while his wall is down, or your blow your harass on his wall.

Without windwall he would be powerful. Windwall just needs to be removed and yasuo would be balanced - still snowbally - but less frustrating and, most importantly, more FUN to play against.

Also, the current crit itemization has 40% CDR with only a few items. rush ER first on yasuo, then your attack speed item, then nashors. 40% CDR right there.

Basicly you insulted him and said he was wrong. Thats it. -10% is a nothing nerf.

http://champion.gg/champion/Yasuo/Middle

And then you use your brain to actually look at the data and realize that win rate "substantially higher than 45%" for Yasuo players with over 125 games is a whopping fucking 47.8%. Wooooow, sooooo gooooooood.

SnugglePuggle94Dec 13, 20151 votes

Because he has an overloaded, bullshitt kit. Also, people just hate him.

lol, the only one defending yasuo is the OP.

you do know general discussion is insulting and making fun of how you guys are so far behind with your balance thoughts right? They laugh off at unecessary ideas of nerfs/buffs of champs of your horrendous low ELO thoughts. While many diamonds and other people see him as a trash pick

so how the fuck, do you think, 45% winrate is legitimently a "OP" thing, while its way below average with a below K/D/A average? while brand is number 1?

Rank restriction forum where?

ArakadiaDec 13, 20151 votes

Winrate doesn't mean everything. Yas can't always carry. You said many diamonds and other people see him as a trash pick. For all I know you thought that up. He is overloaded, has 2 high stats, complete anti-poke, and gets 100% crit after 1 and a half items.... I don't see his weaknesses besides losing a good escape if theres no nearby minions and the enemy is melee. Changing his crit passive and giving him mana would do very good.

TyroneWatermelonDec 13, 20151 votes

Because he takes no skill for the gigantic power he got,and his kit is just plain toxic.

StellafreyjaDec 13, 20151 votes

The same reason people hate LeBlanc? Her winrate on champion.gg right now is 47% but everyone will still call her OP. Winrate doesn't matter when they're unfun to play against.

ArakadiaDec 13, 20151 votes

I find him broken. Overloaded, 2 high stats, complete anti-poke, and gets 100% crit after 1 and a half items.... I don't see his weaknesses besides losing a good escape if theres no nearby minions and the enemy is melee. Changing his crit passive and giving him mana would do very good.
