To all the people who complain about Yasuo being broken and needing a nerf

Knight Sky·Dec 15, 2016·1 votes·1,497 views

Yasuo's winrate in top lane is 50.27% and in midlane is 49.87%. Which puts him at the 26th best midlaner out of 47 and the 28th best top laner out of 55. So obviously he is NOT op in anyway. His winrate is exactly where it needs to be and he is a balanced champ. Too many people are hoping on the "yasuo needs a nerf" bandwagon. In my oppinion he is not that hard to play against and overall is a fun champ to play as or against. You cant argue the facts/statistics they are what the are. so if he needs nerfed so does 20 other midlaners and toplaners.

If you dont believe me here is where the data comes from: https://champion.gg/statistics/#?search=yas

If people stopped looking at the winrates for their only statistic, maybe riot WOULD do something about champs

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

This statement literally makes no sense lol

No shit he has a low winrate, he has one of the highest play rates in the game.

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

this makes no sense lol playrate has nothing to do with winrate, look at hecarim or vi for example

Hrd2H1tDec 15, 20162 votes

Low play rate champions always have higher win rates than high play rate champions, regardless of their actual balance. Galio top has over a 52% winrate, does that mean that he is better than Yasuo? No, because most Yasuo players play him as a secondary or tertiary champion, while most Galio players are Galio mains with hundreds of Galio games.

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

clearly you didnt actually look up the winrates of the most played champs, like caitlyn, vi, twitch, etc. who all have much higher winrates then yasuo and much higher play rates then him as well. Please use real facts

RalanrDec 15, 20161 votes

That's actually a sign that they're a massive problem right now.

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

there are 18 other champs with higher play rates then yasuo with high winrates so accordung to you all of those champs should be getting nerfed but nope lets all focus on yasuo for no reason

RalanrDec 15, 20161 votes

Because Yasuo is annoying to fight against.

It's just salt dude.

SithesisLordDec 15, 20161 votes

Or not just salt. Ever seen a CertainlyT made champion who wasn´t a balance issue at one point or another with the possible exception of Thresh?

Darius. Pick/ban at worlds after rework. Zyra. Consistently one of the most oppressive offensive supports, albeit squishy. Kalista. Left in the dirt after competitive abuse. Yasuo. Easily a two champions crammed into one kind of case. And this coming from a Kayle main.

MarshbouyDec 15, 20161 votes

one of the highest play rates in the game.

His playrates are 10 and 9 percent for top/mid. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CIF9uBqSNhY/maxresdefault.jpg

EndlessSorcererDec 15, 20161 votes

Honestly, I wonder how much higher that would be if it wasn't for the ~50% ban rate.

MarshbouyDec 15, 20161 votes

IDK how high it would be, it's wholly irrelevant to the conversation about his winrate/playrate ratio.

You can't claim "one of the highest playrates in the game" when his playrate is nothing special.

Big LincolnDec 15, 20162 votes

they don't think he's op (usually), they just don't like playing against him

weird how you can say that about any other champ and they'll tell you you're bad, though xd

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

Playing against champs with high mechanics is the whole fun of the game. Other wise were just gonna have a bunch of point and click annie stuns and the game will be pointless.

Big LincolnDec 15, 20161 votes

i don't mind target spells, I'm more annoyed that Annie has instant spells despite Riot campaigning to remove those spells from just aobut everyone else

breakordoom444Dec 24, 20161 votes

Its not they dont wanna play aginst him, faker has made pretty good plays and what meta means is (meta: something that has been played by a pro who has alot of attention) so people are generally scared of yasuo due to the possible plays and his annoying damage + windwall, to be honest if faker never played yasuo, he might be at the uncool kids table.

xeviDec 15, 20162 votes

Numbers fixes won't fix yasuo. He needs changes to his kit.

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

lol id like to hear why, because he has a great kit that requires alot of skill. If his kit was so bad then why is this becoming a thing 3 years later, smh.

Here is why, by Riots lead designer.

But you surely know better, do you? Oh, no wait, you don't.

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

How many times are you gonna send me the same link lol, clearly it says they havent really looked into it and im sure if they make a change itll be so sudden you wont notice, now do me a favor and quit wasting my time, thank you

MartensiticDec 15, 20161 votes

Oh, somone has a problem with the bitter truth it seems :-)

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

and your still avoiding the facts of his winrates that i pointed out to you, if hes so broken why are there 26 bette rmidlaners then him? id love to hear your silly oppinion on this, you cant change facts

MartensiticDec 15, 20161 votes

And your still avoiding the facts of his winrates

I am not avoiding anything. In my thread, in which you also so maturely decided to spew insult after insult around, I made it abundantly clear that Yasuo is balanced.

That doesn't change the fact that he is unfun to play against to an extend that his kit will get nerfed.

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

He's not fun to play against? now you just whining lol. He has a very high skill cap kit which makes him interesting to play as and against because outplays are that much more satisfying, but oh im sure youd rather have a a volli and mundo smack eachother for 2 minutes till 1 finally dies lol

MartensiticDec 15, 20161 votes

How does it feel when everyone, including the lead designer of this game, disgrees with you?

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

The lead designer of the game lmao clearly you dont know whos in charge of what. Also yup im the only person in this game that thinks yasuo is not op, good one kid, im hurt so badly lmao

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

By the way dont listen to everything you here someone at riot tell you. You act as if there right, i cant count the amount of times theyve tried to balance a champ and totally fucked them up, just like the ryze rework #1, #2, and #3 lol

The lead designer of the game lmao clearly you dont know whos in charge of what.

Awwww, the insulting Yasuos ragefest got dunked by evidence :D

Ninja Baby oneDec 15, 20162 votes

I personally am in the belief that the only thing really broken about Yasuo is the fact that he in theory has CC with a 4 second cooldown. Putting the minimum cooldown on his Q to 2 seconds instead of 1.33 seconds would fix this without ruining him too much and at the same time, some better scaling could be added to his E, making it more than just a tool to get close or away past the early game. I am in favor of nerfing his Q slightly, but buffing the rest of his kit and have been so from the beginning. This might be a personal opinion and I realise his winrate shows him off as really balanced, but I still find this aspect of him too strong and would prefer to see him actually be a bit stronger in other aspects of his kit.

Knight SkyDec 15, 20161 votes

Thank you for being a decent person with a very valid oppinion, i agree a slight change like that would be nice. Im just tired of all the bandwagoning thats gonna ruin a great champ for no reason :/

Ninja Baby oneDec 15, 20161 votes

Understandable.

MartensiticDec 15, 20161 votes

Nerfs incoming. Nothing you can do about it. Enjoy. I know I will :-)

http://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/2016/12/ask-riot-yasuos-last-breath/

Yasuo’s on our radar as a champ who’s probably too strong at present. Now that we’ve got most of the pre-season follow up work done, we’ll be putting more focus back onto general champion balance. That means for patch 7.1 (the next patch we’re currently working, which will likely go out in early January) or 7.2 we’ll be looking at champs like Yasuo, Hecarim, Syndra, etc.

Knight SkyDec 15, 20162 votes

This is the sad side of league, the immature kids like you

MartensiticDec 15, 20161 votes

Keep up posts like that, makes it easier :-)

Reaper SorakaDec 15, 20161 votes

idk. I suck at melee champions; I will NOT play them if I don't have to.

But I'm not too bad with Yasuo, because I can't miss cs. I can play Zed and go 60cs in 20mins, or I can go Yasuo and get 100. I've played both less than a dozen times.

That tells me all other champions are just too mechanically difficult compared to him, or he's a little OP; at least in some regard. I don't use OP as he's stupidly broken and unkillable or whatnot, but his kit has an advantage that blows all others out of the water.

Tactical SuicideDec 17, 20161 votes

The new fervor on Yasuo is absolutely the stupidest crap in several patches. Yasuo was already broken when in front but now if he gets even slightly ahead he is unstoppable. He is stupidly mobile, has a shield, can split push, can team fight, can 1v5, has insane burst, insane armor shred and now he gets insane free extra AD from landing some autos and kills ADC and Mid in 3 or 4 autos. Riot have butchered a lot of balancing lately, Yasuo is the worst in a while.

HaishinMar 12, 20171 votes

As a Yasou main myself I feel like his kit is a bit overloaded however this doesn't mean he needs a complete rework or nerf. I feel he just needs a slight tweak on his e cool down. .1 seems a bit much and making .1 higher wouldn't be that bad. I've played yasou and that's all I've ever done for a while. However I picked up some zed recently and had a yasou to play against. A fun matchup as I can abuse him early game. But we somehow drag the game for a bit when he becomes relevant again. And once he gets his tornado no squishy wants to get near that thing. However hard cc is a great counter but in low Elo it is used incorrectly rendiring it useless and pointless. That's all I have to say for this post.
