Can you just delete Yasuo?

Shield. Double Passive. Defensive wall that blocks AA and spells. Free CD on insane mobility dash. Bonus armor pen on ult. Tornado knockup.

This atrocity of a champion has too much of an overloaded kit. Everyone hates him and the few that don't are the ones that love him. He has way too much defensive power in a mid lane assassin, even Diana with her shield does not have as much. His double passive is completely way too much and is not needed. He gets insane mobility with low cooldowns. Bonus armor pen? Who thought of that? He already has enough damage with just building item 3087 and he gets free stats to boot on a rather annoying ult that completely deletes you before you can do anything to get away-that means no time at all-which means no counterplay on his ult. His tornado knockup, well some mains of him say, "It's easy to dodge!" The fuck it is not. Every Yasuo that I have seen that is even half way decent is able to throw it where you are dodging too and hit you. And whenever he does, there's always a panic if when or if he will ult on you.

His wall is way too much defensive power. Sure, his mains say, "It's on high CD! Just go after him when its down." Yeah right. After he spits that out of his ass, we still have to go through a ridiculous shield before we can even throw any spells on him, and even then, he has the mobility to dodge your attacks. Therefore he can attack you instead and bam you are deleted just for trying to even poke him.

His kit is way too overloaded. Too much defensive power. Just too much of everything. He is probably more hated than Heimer or Yi. Some say, "counter pick him!" Well even his #1 counter Annie can have trouble.

Just do the whole League community a favor, Riot. And delete this stupid champion from the game. I will even deal with Ekko and Kindred. But I'm tired of this atrocity.

I'll agree with you on the Armor Pen, but that's it. If Gangplank can't have 60% Armor pen on one spell every 7 seconds, Yasuo shouldn't get 30% or so for the next 12 Auto Attacks

Although thinking about it now, Yasuo only ignores a portion of your BONUS armor, so I guess it's not as bad

They actually nerfed GP's armor pen a bit.

Yasuo's is 50% of bonus armor right now. On everything. GP has 50% armor pen on 1 ability with a long cooldown.

Honestly the only problems I have with him are the ridiculous 100% crit builds and his crazy synergy with any champ with a knock up which basically guarantees a positive outcome

Free Cd on insane mobility dash that requires a target and can only be used on said target again after a rather long "cooldown"... if you want to talk about free insane dash try out riven.

but with minions in lane, that's at least 6 if not more depending on the size of the wave.

List his kit again, it will make your argument stronger!

Shield requires moving around and needs to be maxed before it can even be used.

Yasuo isn't the first champion to have a "double passive". Tryndamere's passive giving fury as a resource and his own crit chance was given to him about 3 years before Yasuo's release. And let's not forget Rengar with his Ferocity and Bonetooth Necklace.

Wind wall prevents ranged autoattacks and most skillshot abilities. (I can personally attest that wind wall does not block Lux's laser.)

His dash can't be used on the same target for a certain period of time. it looks ridiculous dashing through a minion wave, but if your opponent was smart he'd avoid intimate proximity with the minions. also, his dash CAN be interrupted with hard CC.

His ult requires a knockup. If the team comp he is in down't include any knockups other than his own, then he'll have to put himself at risk doing the work himself.

HIs own knockup requires 3 uses of the same ability. If he's proven to be a threat, communicate with your team to focus on him first. Odds are he'll be melted before he can reap the whirlwind.

You learn to take the bad with the good. You won't completely understand if you pick and choose things to present your argument with.

On an unrelated note. there are players who've been crying for Teemo's deletion for years. I can tell you those cries have fallen - and continue to fall - on deaf ears.
