No matter how much you buff Yasuo, he'll always be garbage. He simply has too much counterplay in his kit. If you watch a high elo game with Yasuo in it, you'll understand. Even if his ult does a million damage, the smallest displacement or cc can prevent him from using it, and then he's useless in the fight. Not to mention the fact that he has to land his 'q' 3 times in a row to even get a knockup in the first place.

Isn't he sitting at a 47.16% winrate in Platinum+? https://champion.gg/champion/Yasuo/Middle?league= He's banned so much because people hate playing against a good Yasuo. (annoying af ;])

To be fair, a lot of champs have been sitting at lower win rates for longer periods of time than him, and Riot has not even made an effort to touch or fix them. Yasuo becomes trash for one patch and Riot rushes to buff him (even though he has one of the highest ban rates in all elos and regions, while also having a 50% pick/ban presence in competitive play).

He's a well-known champion, and constant changes to him keep the community talking about the game. I'm sure there are other examples of popular but maligned champs but none come to mind. This is simply my opinion.

They do not hate to play against a good yasuo, they hate to lane against ANY yasuo. He has to much agency and is way to opressiv, the only way to win a lane vs a yasuo that isn't suicidal is to unplug his keyboard and even than it can get rough.

Yasuo Vayne Zoe Zed Riven Draven Gangplank Azir Ryze are among some of the champions with the highest skill caps in the game.

They should live below 50% win rate.

Ideal win rates for these champs is 48-49%

I personally think Yasuo should hover around 45-48% win rate like Ryze and Azir for how versatile all of them are.

High skill cap playmakers should be balanced to the point that you can only hard carry if you've mastered them.

Yasuo will always have a low win rate he's a coin flip champion.

Either of the following situations happens -

  • The Yasuo player feeds his ass off to the tune of 0/10 or worse.
  • The Yasuo player has mechanics like ArkaDaTa and pops off.

People don't like how coin flip the champion is.

The only thing preventing me from perm banning Yasuo is the fact I have to ban Draven every game.
