Juicy 65% ban rate

A Twisted Death··75 votes·6,129 views

Yasou is still sitting on that juicy ~65% ban rate, he is also insanely popular so it's basically a pick/face or ban in ranked. I am aware of his decent win-rate, with that said nothing above average. Though seeing that riot are tweaking Kog & Sol instead of Yasou kind of tilts me.

The only reason it's not higher, is players are THREATENED into not banning them by Yasuo mains.

Like seriously.

Quite a few times in the < S3 areas of derpage. Edit: Around 10+ times this season.

Diamond here. Seen it happen 30+ times in Ranked this season alone. They will also troll if you ban it, usually forcing a dodge or just a loss.

Yeah, I think I've racked up at least 30+ or so someone intentional-feed-on-Yasuo-or-release-OPworked-champ-bans, myself. I don't know why people do it.

Why can't people play league of legends without the cancer?

Why would you ban your teammate's main in the first place?

I'm not sure Yasuo mains count as teammates, either way. Pick-Ban is Pick-Ban. How is first pick going to trade them when that mofo only has fucking Heimerdinger available? Remember when Xin was buffed. "No one picks them, trust." Yeah... no. Ban.

Between this post and right now, I had a game with a Yasuo-main-banned-person. They sucked at mid and flamed me for banning our Yasuo.

The enemy team banned Yasuo.

Not when youre somewhat good with him and/or buy Rylais, and his win rates have been pretty stupid for the last few months.

TheSingularity3 votes

His win rate has been inflated big time by sol mains (just look at that pick rate). While he is undoubtedly strong his weak pre rylais/hextech phase and insane amount of power after that's reached is the issue at hand

HE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO RELY ON AN ITEM TO DEFINE HIS POWER CURVE AND MAKE HIS KIT WORK!

then adcs shouldnt exist, because all they do is rely on items. u also lock out practically everyone that isn't a lane bully (great early game)

And then Tanks will be immortal because most of the game's DPS was removed and games will last for over an hour on average because mages are generally terrible at taking towers.

It's because the higher elo you go, the more focused it is on jungle and bottom crab at around 3 mins, and Sol is super strong then.

Yasuo has a lot going on to explain that mess. He's VERY popular. Because of this a lot of people are sick of seeing him. He's also considered OP or just plain overloaded by some players, and even the ones who don't think he's broken usually find him obnoxious and irritating to play against. Between all that, yeah... he has an absurd ban rate. Some hate that he's everywhere, some that he's "broken" and some just don't like playing against him because he's obnoxious. This is why his banrate is absurd and the times he's NOT banned his popularity usually sees him picked. This leads to the people who are sick of him feeling they HAVE to ban him or he'll show up in every game.

Now I personally hate Yas with the burning passion of a fiery sun as well... but I won't pretend that means that my personal dislike of him means something more than it is. His banrate is because people hate him... and his pick rate is because weebs love him so he's likely to be picked any time he's not banned.

Zed is still broken.

His ban rate, pick rate and win rate together attest to this.

He's not. He's at a 47% winrate and his counters are all top-tier right now. People ban him because they're used to it.

Darius? Graves? New Yorick? Jarvan? Garen(I guess?)? Yi? Morde? Olaf? There's actually quite a lot of these...

I do agree there's more to it than weebos(though they are part of it), moronic kits tend to be a lot of fun, basically people hate and love him for the same reasons.

None of that is relevant.

Yasuo is brokenly overpowered and faceroll easy to play.

They don't want to touch yas even though since his release he has been one of the most complained about champions. They also don't want to mess with his kit cause it "takes away his identity"

In terms of toxic/complained about champs, he's moderately frustrating at best.

Compared to AP Yi, Spellvamp Akali/Vlad, the last 6 or something incarnations of Ryze, he's nothing.

I still ban him every game though because of the current champs he is one of the most oppressive and frustrating.

Is this B5 or is this below level 30, because all of those champions are shut down by 800 gold or a pink ward.

He's so insanely popular in Bronze/Silver because that elo doesn't know what to do against him. He is RARELY picked in Plat and is NEVER picked in Diamond

Vistha Kai4 votes

It's not exactly like that, but close.

His overall stats beginning in Bronze are 27% playrate, 51,9% winrate and 66,7% banrate. However in Diamond and higher he's at 13,2% pickrate, 48,4% winrate and 47,1% banrate.

Also in higher ELOs he doesn't even break 50% winrate before 30 minute mark. Early game he's supposedly so overpowered.

Just because people hate a champion doesn't mean hes OP. Lol You guys are fucking ridiculous. Yes used to be pretty dam strong (THe tank build+bug).

But now he's just an average champion that everyone generally hates. Please stop with these BS circle jerk posts.

Swiftstrike44 votes

Since the nerfs and bug adjustment Yasuo's win rate has fallen, but he has a high pick rate at the moment and the ban is justifiable just due selection frequency. He has a high play rate across the different Elos and I think any champion that is picked frequently is a justifiable ban.

I am a bit surprised people are not banning Lucian since he is one of the highest picked ADCs at the moment and it seems he either snowballs or stinks the whole game. That is mostly problematic with so many people picking him and most taking the early armor pen build instead of the crit build.

A seasoned AurelionSol player is virtually unkillable, but most novice players with have a lower win rate with him. Recently, I played against a platinum player who looks like is beginning to pick up Aurelion. He single handedly carried his team to victory in a very long game. He doesn't have a high win rate now, but it typically takes several games in a row to get use to him and after that the win rates jump.

My team had a very difficult time killing him and usually his flash/exhaust/storm/ult were always up when we thought we had a catch on him.

I think his mobility is pretty frustrating compared to other ADCs consider he has a dash, probably QSS, and Youmus by the mid game. Everytime I get a Lucian in my ranked game he stinks and when I play against one he gets huge.

Yes, but he is still a lot less frustrating to play against, compared to Yasuo. He actually uses mana (he can't just spam his abilities and use that to bully you), he does not block your abilities and autos with a wall (he doesn't actually have any team-wide utility), and does not have passives that give him free stats.

Compared to Yasuo, Lucian feels a lot more fair to play against, due to that, and because you know when you can out-trade him.

Honestly I think Yasuo still needs nerfs, but comparing him to Sol isn't even funny. That champion is disgusting.
