I shouldnt have to waste my bans on Yasuo because of how OP is he is currently.

I shouldnt have to waste bans when im playing ranked or normal draft on the fact that he has so much mobility in his kit makes it extremely hard for players to do good. and usually if Yasuo isnt banned theres a good chance theres going to be a Yasuo on either side of the team, yes, there are ways to deal with Yasuo such as counter picks but he can still easily come back from how overloaded his kit can be late game being if the Yasuo is good or not, I main ADC and its EXTREMELY hard for me to kite a Yasuo when he has frozen mallet and a windwall. I'm not saying thats hes "omg broken riot plz nerf plzz 2 broke" all im saying is his kit can be very overloaded and how overwhelming he can be late game.

I mean the purpose of bans is to ban what is currently OP vs You, Your champion, Your Comp, or in general. What else would you use it for? Personally I'd rather fight Yas every game than CotC tanks and hyper tank carry junglers.

yas isnt op, u just get out played a lot. gank him a lot early game and watch him feed his ass off and then thank God that he's not on ur team.

If it came off that Yasuo is op then thats not the point im trying to make, its that his kit is very overloaded with the way he builds and players abuse that by building items like frozen mallet.

Please tell me you realize that he is literally supposed to come kill you as an adc.

Guess what though, he has to come trough your whole team to kill you, and during that time, you can get free damage off

I think he's annoying because normally you'd be right. But

He has to go through the team to kill you, which is hard on most. But not with his insane mobility.
During that time you could get free damage off, which is true on most. But not with his windwall which negates almost all damage.

Yes, there's ways to play around it. Totally and definitely. It's just... why do we have to :/ Mobility and negating attacks and doing a lot of damage is just so much. It feels like he's his own support and AD carry sometimes.

how to solve problems 1 and 2:

1: have a tank with hard cc which are incredibly strong right now and on almost every team

2: stay far back and let your team force his windwall as he gets hard cc'd by the aforementioned tank

how to counter yasuo in lane:

pick a tank

buy tabi and randuins

congratulations yasuo now does no damage because he rushed pd or is forced to buy something other than pd first item which in turn forces him to play passively and cs even longer than usual

there are tons of characters that can disregard an entire team and go straight for the carry (vi, shyv, fizz, etc) and are much better at doing it then yasuo

plus vi and fizz are actually cc immune while doing so

saying you shouldn't have to play around yasuo's kit is ridiculously stupid, you have to play around every character's kit and change the way you're playing depending on the matchup

you can't just build full damage on a carry if they've got hard engage, and you can't play recklessly or "ballsy" against a cc heavy team

well maybe because he is a fucking melee champ

Supreme Senpai69Dec 29, 20161 votes

No shit. Lol. That's why he has his mobility. And his poke shield. why does he have a giant ass shield that negates entire champions that he can stand on top of though?

Because my friend, his base health is lower XD

Of the Yasuo player is new or gets countered, he will only feed. He may feed and be useless even if he isn't bad, if you gank him.

SSG ElmoDec 28, 20162 votes

I've seen plenty of people come back from being camped or bad in lane, just because you get "camped" doesnt mean Yasuo will do bad for the rest of the game. He can farm. He can get items. That camp he got early game will be completely irrelevant late.

Brain Errör 404Dec 28, 20162 votes

End the game before he recovers. When he's behind, he'll less likely group and be farming lanes as much as possible to get his spikes since his mid game is complete ass.

SSG ElmoDec 28, 20162 votes

Agree, but at the same time disagree you can push and teamfight while Yasuo is top splitting and getting items but at the same time it all depends on how good your team is.

Brain Errör 404Dec 28, 20161 votes

Trust me. It's hard to sit there when your team is getting slaughtered whiles you split. Most people will instinctively back and try to save the game. When an enemy player is down a whole person for half the game, it becomes that much easier.

This could be the case in season 3/4/5. Not now. When the most of the games are pretty much over in 10 minutes.

there's also the issue that you are camping mid or top instead of bottom lane

PlanetWarwickDec 28, 20162 votes

What champ counters yasuo... any champ that NEEDS 2 people to kill is a problem

Sire HippingtonDec 29, 20162 votes

Then simply don't ban him, since he's not op. Annoying? Sure, but there are more that fit that category. But OP? not really, atleast if you respect his strengths and play properly vs him.

GULAG 4 UDec 28, 20161 votes

Yasuo isn't even a top priority ban right now lmao

takeZOOOOOODec 28, 20161 votes

Hope he gets nerfed so the people who never play him stop picking him away from me when he makes it through bans, ban/pickrate is probably higher than camillie at this point

RaiyzaDec 28, 20161 votes

As i suggested in another thread, move his passive shield to his ult. His shield is what makes trading tough because he has windwall to block autos and abilities then once he gets in range, his shield blocks yet another auto or ability. At least pre 6 you can trade effectvely.
