I don't care if he is strong or weak, I just am sick of seeing him in every fucking blind pick game, whether he wins or loses. Whenever he is in the game, he warps the entire game around himself and removes the agency from his opponents. "Bullshit aside Yasuo is a broken champion. People say he's a high skillcap champion, but the secret with Yasuo is knowing how to control yourself while playing such a overpowered champion. Yasuo's weakness comes from the fact that he is too strong. His laning phase is so strong that after the laning phase people do not know how to keep calm and throw the game." -Apdo/Dopa

Funny thing... Yasuo is clearly a serious problem with League at all levels. He is either overwhelming or useless in pro play. He is the absolute least fun champion in the game for most people to play against. Yet, unlike Azir, Ryze, Galio, and the mages that actually require skill or tactical knowledge of the game (or both for Ryze), he will never be gutted and left in a ditch to be ignored for all time. Instead, he will be allowed to alter the entire game. One champion with over a 90% pick/ban is literally a game-warping champion. And no, not warping a specific game. I mean warping League of Legends itself. Out of over 140 champions no single champion should even be close to 90% pick/ban. And he has consistently been over 40% for at least 18 months but for weeks now has been over 75% and is now at over 90%.

And this is why Riot doesn't listen to the boards for balance.

Because "nerf yasuo into the ground" isn't balance.

It's bias.

Protip: If there's a champion you don't like to see, stop playing blind pick.

Ironically blind is the only way you can guarantee you'll see them.

Yasuo has been buffed and nerfed since his existence so its obvious he is just a poorly designed champion and NEEDS a rework its just the fact that riot is hesitant on doing so because he is a popular champion and most likely makes them tons of cash with skins and they dont wanna fuck it up...or tamper with it.

His ban rate is just proof enough that the majority of the player base has a bad experience with this particular champion in their games and the players base has said we would rather play the version of league without yasuo in it and that basically says yasuo was a mistake by riot.

Design flaws appear if the champion is either really useless or really ridiculous seems like yasuo has no middle ground with numbers and there is no sweet spot to keep him in a decent state that's good for his opponents and yasuo players the kit is an issue now riot can just rework one ability and even keep the majority of his kit but something needs to be done to him we can all agree on that i hope.

Coming into this discussion as a Yasuo main. Over the past few weeks, I’ve gained a hatred towards this champion. He needs a rework. Yasuo in League is like Bayonetta in Smash. They’re not inherently overpowered, but they’re playing completely different games. It’s frustrating playing with and playing against him.

Glad to see the Yasuo-metric (i forget the real name) is working as intended.

I don't get why people hate yasou actually, maybe just nerf his ult so he can only ult on his spell, otherwise I don't see him as an issue actually. I mean, have you seen kayle? he doesn't have a chance against her. All the champs in lol has counters and yasou has plenty of them
