Lets talk about Yasuo.

Azrael Evernight·Aug 28, 2017·4 votes·758 views

So Yasuo has an 80% to 100% ban rate in LoL depeding on the elo and region. He is the most banned champ in the game and has been for a long time now. Riot just attempted to "nerf" him on the pbe, but had to retract all changes due to it being a buff actually. So let me get this straight, the most broken champ in the game... YASUO can't be balanced and when it is attempted it becomes a buff? I believe this champ in all reality should just be suspended until they can figure something out. Cause face it.. when he is picked he wins because he gets 2x the highest dmg output in the game as his passive, when he gets banned as much as he is the Yasuo mains don't get to play him as badly as they want, and if by some miracle he does get picked it automatically tilts the enemy team, thus ruining their overall experience before the game even starts. I don't know what to say but the fact that there are so many ban worthy champs and he is pretty much banned 100% of the time should show that something is very wrong with the champ. Extremely wrong with the champ. You ask LoL players who the most broken champ in the game is and they say Yasuo. Even the people who play him will admit it and that's why they play him. I don't want Yasuo deleted. But for real something really needs to be done now.

Yasuo's ban rate is high because his kit has serious balance flaws. Riot stated a mini rework for him then pulled a complete 180 and said they now want to BUFF him instead.

So yeah he'll be banned always and forever now.

22.89% Banrate. This post is completely false.

He has an average winrate of 50% and about 6-7% playrate. Yasuo is only strong in low elo and otherwise, he is just hot trash in high elo.

Not even breaking the top 10 most banned champions.

Your logic is flawed because that is specifically plat and higher in Korea. lol Nice try though man.

KloqdqAug 29, 20172 votes

Look up NA then. He is in no way close to 80% or higher like you suggested. Yasuo is legit the most trashy hit or miss champion. Low elos will struggle against him but he has no good match-ups and has to scale or cheese early. Both of which are hard against players that are not dumb.

Also most of your logic is very basis and untrue.

Azrael EvernightAug 29, 20171 votes

Your original argument is that he isn't even good high elo, yet more then 60% of the game is low elo. So actually my assumptions are extremely well founded.

KloqdqAug 29, 20171 votes

You don't bring any proof however so that's all they are. Assumptions. You assume that he is some god champion that breaks the game. Yes he stomps out low elo but once you've fought a couple of yasuos, you should be able to understand how to play against him.

I bet if you check his winrate outside of high elo it would still be the same or even worse.

You mention a change on the pbe but what is it? Want to give a link because I don't remember seeing a change for Yasuo on the pbe lately.

Cause face it.. when he is picked he wins because he gets 2x the highest dmg output in the game as his passive

He has reduced crit damage which needs to be bandaid fixed with IE. ADCs technically out-damage him.

he does get picked it automatically tilts the enemy team

Just pick one of those above champions or a very long list of other champions and win lane by default. Yasuo has terrible match-ups in his best lane top and even in mid, most capable mages and assassins can handle him.

You ask LoL players who the most broken champ in the game is and they say Yasuo. Even the people who play him will admit it and that's why they play him.

Untrue. Talk to 10 players from each elo and you will get a massive variety of answers. Link me a poll where this is truth. Do something to prove that Yasuo is considered the most broken champion in the game.

Also I play Yasuo because he is smooth and fun to play. He is also an edgy anime swordsman and that's a fun power fantasy. The character is just fun and that's why you have so many people who play him. It isn't because he is broken. Ask Yasuo mains and they will reassure you that they aren't playing him because he is busted.

I think they need to rework his w. That's the frustrating part of his kit. It really doesn't fit for balance or thematically. The reason it bothers me so much is that it is better than braum shield, which is braums whole identity.

Just because you adc mains can't kite him, doesn't make his w broken.

Just because he isn't broken doesn't mean he can be changed.

AR URFAug 29, 20171 votes

But why change him? The only ones complaining are those that generally don't play him. Those that do actually play him like me, hate getting kited by ADC's and bursted down without being able to do something about it. it sucks to try to run away as him because without minions,monsters and in some cases champs, he's immobile as fuck. That's why he sucks in virtually any game mode that is not played on the rift.

Get to them with E.... block all their dmg with W, and 2 shot thim with Q... lol

AR URFAug 30, 20171 votes

You're referring to late game yasuo. Guess what? Not every yasuo is going to 2 shot a laner unless they're fed. He is supposed to shred tanks and in this tank meta it's needed.

I'm not sold its better then braums shield. His mobility and ability to reposition to keep it in position is a big plus in my book.

IronwallJacksonAug 30, 20171 votes

You're absolutely right. Yeah, Braum takes damage and redirect it at himself, yeah he has to aim his shield, but being able to move it is a big deal.

420 gramsAug 30, 20171 votes

He can't reposition it if he gets cc'd, unlike windwall that completely ignore those effects and just eats the ability.

Kai GuyAug 30, 20171 votes

Blitzcrank is the most broken champion in the game. A single ability is so make or break feast or famine for him that the rest of his kit is almost completely ignored in discussions about him. At least with yas its the combination of his entire kit and mobility from minions.

Well that's who I would say is the most broken champion if asked. Have a good day folks.
