Enough said.

Why?

Because yasuo isn't a good champion for low ELO players to play. You can accomplish the same thing with an easier champion.

That's not what he asked. He's not asking how to climb. He's asking how to play Yasuo specifically.

If he wants to climb he shouldn't play yasuo. LOL

That's completely untrue. If Yasuo gets a small lead, he's extremely easy to run with it and absolutely shut out games. He's very feast or famine.

Or you could play champions that are good from ahead and behind... LOL

Funny thing, I've climbed from bronze to gold 1 at my highest this season, playing mainly yasuo, and sporting a 63% win rate with him.

Tip #1 - Don't play Yasuo. He is very limited in what he can do once you get to a certain elo. Zed and Talon are better AD assassins imo, and there are a lot of other easy to play mid laners that can carry you.

Here are some: Annie Fizz Diana Zed Lulu

Yea, don't play him. He usually gets banned, or heavily marked early on and you'll face tons of team-ganks to prevent you from becoming extremely OP'd.

If you want to play a real good Melee champ, I suggest Katarina or Tryndamere These two have good variability to them, but with both of them...they require SOME AP to be tossed into the build...and that's where I suggest this lovely item: item 3124

(Keep in mind, Katarina's damage comes from AP, so item 3135 and item 3001 come in handy early on) Oh Sure...there are better ones out there. But both of these champs have great crowd control capacities and wonderful team-fight killing abilities as well. Something to think about.

As i told Wolfram i asked for tips for playing him not people telling me not to play him*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

then go solid dps. armor penetration. crits and life steal.

If that playstyle doesn't suit you, go JG ADC. That should suit you just fine until you get a generally grand feel for him.

u play like an adc. in the back. He needs a knock up comp.

Add me Kneelbeforezoth i main yas as well have about 300 games on him im fairly good with him

Note:he asked for help peeps not opinion on which champ he SHOULD be playing lol not trying to be toxic but really how many times does someone ask for something then you shoot in down and add your own opinion as to what he should be doing for example zed is a high ban choice but if he was asking for zed tips you would tell him not to play zed instead play something else

Phenyxs1 votes

Why would you say don't play zed?

Kneelbeforezoth1 votes

i was making a point good sir thought it was clear lol

Thanks! i'll add you in a bit i'm a little busy right now

I seen you have a offer for invites to help you with yas. If your still looking I can try to help. One thing with yas is a lot of different builds and ruins based of your play style. I bounced back and forth until I settled on ruins. As for build, again people will convince you of certain builds. I will say lifesteal is important. GL

Well i'll take all the help i can get lel but i'm a little busy right now so i'll check back later :D

Keep at it man, I have like 130k mastery on him and my winrates pretty meh I think, my best advice is max E instead of Q unless you're laning against a darius or someone you don't wanna directly fight

Also, warlords blood lust is your best friend

Spicy Rice1 votes

I have personally found that fervor or grasp outmatches warlords. Against mages/ranged I go fervor, because at level 2 you can dash up to them, and auto them 2-3 times and do over half their hp. Against Marlee's, grasp is good because you can use q to proc grasp from a range they can't hit you from
