Lifesteal and Yasou countering

aivis123·7/23/2017, 1:59:04 AM·1 votes·407 views

so..tonight i played Poppy top vs Yasou top and Nasus top vs yasuo top..both yasuo had lifesteal. With poppy i could take him down in 1 of 5 times(usualy i threw him away with R) Poppy needs a little help..a small buff for tankiness(her passive is best thing for her. in lvl18 i usualy have 800hp as shield). and match with Nasus ..yasuo harrased and bullied me all game. in 20 mins i had only 91 stacks and i had like 0 ganks and i got told that i am noob..well i kinda am but it was my and jungler fault(he saw that i was bullied all the time and didnt do a thing)

my idea here is. Nerf down Lifesteal to maximum 35% lifesteal for a single champoin. Lifesteal with high damage is so broken right now against tanks. I made Poppy full tank build. all items were chosen for scariest tank in match..but i got kited by Yasuo 50% or more lifesteal and i lost. He just ripped of my health bar and took for himself. Yasou needs to be balanced..so remove he's shield so he can get damage from beginning of the trade or increase E cool down so he cant escape so fast and he can't engage as fast. he has all what you need to be a lane bully and harraser but no one can counter him. Riven can counter him normaly or Leona with that hard CC poke in a face but he has that damn shield

what do you think? Yasou is a bit OP and unbalanced against others? And is limiting lifesteal a fair thing? I think it is fair, so tanks can actualy kill not just be a big giant meat ball for enemy ADC to eat in 5 seconds with 50%lifesteal while you're adc or mage is away somewhere

if anyone know a idea for countering yasou AND lifesteal..pls i beg you to show

item 3076 Literally they added a 900g counter to autoattack lifesteal champions...

Lifesteal ain't the problem here, as both Nasus and poppy rip through yas if you play the lane properly.

item 3076: Hey there guys, I'm a 900 gold counter to lifesteal designed for tanks.

item 3075: And I'm his big brother. We have Grievous Wounds on us now, so build us if you need to stop Yasuo. His Q counts as an auto attack, and therefore does our damage to him as well as putting Grievous Wounds on him, which halves his healing. Buy him first back, then a Frozen Heart or Iceborn Gauntlet or someone, then upgrade him to me and I can guarantee you will never die to him again as long as you can stop him from ulting you.

Poppy : Poppy has an Ability that is essentially the Middle Finger to Yasuo on her [W]. You'd wait for him to dash in (orif he gets too close), Activate [W] & watch him bounce off an Invisible Wall. You can hit him with a [Q] Here & maybe even fight him since he can't really get away (This works in the earlier stages of the game). As the game progresses (This applies to Nasus & just about every Tank in general), you might want Randuin's Omen item 3143 . This will reduce his Crit Damage by 20%, give you the Cold Steel Passive which reduces Attacker's ATK Speed by 15% & a good amount of Armor/HP to boot. You also get an Active that creates an AoE Slow around you, which is good for teamfights. I generally rush this against Champions who rush Crit since it's a super useful item in the event there's a champion or two on the enemy team relying on Crit Chance. Ninja Tabi item 3047 is another really good early buy as well as it blocks 10% damage done through Auto attacks and gives you armor.

Nasus ": As for Nasus, I generally don't know much about him so I can't say much. In hard matchups, you'll most likely be farming under your turret with your [Q] for most of the game & pray that your jungler ganks. After a while, you'll eventually scale assuming that you've gotten the Gold needed to purchase items. item 3078 /item 3025 are generally what Nasus players buy first since they can really make use of the Sheen Passive. Against Yasuo, I myself would most likely get sheen & try getting Iceborn if I'm losing or Triforce if for some reason I'm winning. If I'm losing hard, I'd still get the sheen, but rush out Randuin's. Again I don't know much about Nasus, but that's as much advice I could give you about him against Yasuo.

As for countering Lifesteal: As a Tank, item 3076 /item 3075 will reduce the Healing done via Life steal (If they're auto-attack reliant) & also gives you the Cold Steel passive. Generally, I'd only get this if they're rushing Sustain items (basically anything with item 1053 as a component) or if they have some kind of Innate sustain such as Garen Darius Illaoi Nasus . If against say Vladimir or Swain , you'd want to get MR as soon as you can. item 3065 would be a decent buy, but also consider item 3194 if against Swain as most of his damage is DoT (Damage over Time). As a Mage, item 3165 will get the job done. However as a Toplane Mage, I'd refrain from getting it unless I can afford to have damage (Winning lane).
