Why is Yasuo considered hard?

He gets 100% crit with two items, does true damage through conq., he has a windwall that blocks all skill shots and ranged attacks, and can just dash through minion waves effortlessly making his mobility insanely high. Where is the difficult part? his skill shot is unmissable if you e and then q the enemy. Get into trouble? spam e. chasing someone down? spam e. Need to deal damage build one item and auto attack with a 66% chance of crits. I get that maybe to "master" him takes some skill but thats every champion. Please explain what makes yasuo actually hard

Wow dumbing down what a champion does makes them seem super simple and easy to understand, who would have guessed.

Yasuo has super hard counters. He also is super weak before he gets his first item. He is super squishy and melee.

I've never played the guy so I don't know really. I also rarely play top or mid so I don't face him often. I'm just saying what I see in his gameplay.

Well I don't understand why you would make a post like this then if you don't really understand simple parts of the kit. Try playing him. Once you face a renekton or something strong early you will understand why he is considered hard.

That is exactly why I am making the post. People consider him hard, I do not understand why, and so I am trying to find out about him some before deciding to buy him.

How it is worded it sounds like a classic Yasuo complain thread so that is why I was wondering.

overpowered kit =/= not hard tho

sure every Yasuo can right click and spam Q to sometimes kill you but he is one of the hardest champs to play perfectly

Nothing, they just keep perpetuating that myth to keep Riot from nerfing his broken ass. Then again the same folks that claim he's not powerful think Yi is weak too...
