I honestly don't get why people hate Yasuo on the other team...

The average Yasuo is...

Firstpicking him
Maxes Q first
Will towerdive
Will chase
Cannot play from behind
Has no idea how to play against a tank
Buys less wards than the Rift Herald
Ignores the minimap
Rages/Insults/Report-calls and drops his teams morale like a ton of bricks
Demands constant jungler attention
Demands the Supp to roam for him
Takes entire minion waves worth of farm when he "roams"

And even if somehow he does get ahead, don't worry: He WILL go 1v5.

Seriously, having this guy on the other team is a godsend =)

People can always buy these items but the tops always buy item 3071 item 3748 , mid always buy item 3285 item 3165 and expect to be able to 1v1 the Yasuo.

The problem is Yasuo can easily make a comeback, as his kit has too much value to be useless at any point in the game.

He can always splitpush while being worth 0 gold, and will eventually reach a point where he can still 1v1 any other Top Laner despite what their building.

He has a good chance of winning any matchup, including those against his counters, simply because he always has some advantage.

Yas has more consistent damage, more mobility, and outscales after lvl 6.
Yas has lower cooldowns, more poke, easier way to push the lane, and a lower skill floor.
Yas has no mana, an easy way to push the lane, lower cooldowns, and more consistent damage while matching her in burst damage.
Yas has more mobility, his Q goes through Coutner Strike, and can interrupt his Leap Strike with his Tornado.

The list goes on, but the point around the board is that Yasuo always has more potential to win the lane than his enemy does. Counterpicking essentially means "Yasuo can't rofl-stomp his opponent in this matchup."

IDK how many bad Yasuo's you come across, but the majority of mine always seem to win every lane, or make a giant come-back after getting buried, ending the game as the highest level and the most damage dealt.

And finally, the reason he will always chase and will always towerdive is because he CAN with almost no way to punish him without your jungler camping you. The fact that this is allowed makes Yasuo have to ask "Why shouldn't I tower dive? Even if I die, I'll still be stronger in the long run."

Yasuo has many many problems that make him a burden to play against. You can't just say that bad Yasuo players are a good thing to have on the enemy team, because honestly that's true for EVERY champion.

I agree with you. But for the same reason, I believe he's worthy of a ban. You could get this player that you've just described above on your team. It's happened to all of us with a terrible Yas - You know the one that dives and then asks why your team didn't follow him into the 5 v 1 tower dive when you were no where near him? Yas is worthy of a ban because there is no in between Yas. If the other team gets a very good one, there's little you can do to change the game, especially since he's probably gotten really fed off your mid lane. To summarize it - you could get a bad one or they could get a good one - only with this particular champ, I've found either scenario to be more impactful than most other champions in the game. He's a liability. Presently, I think there are more champs worthy of a ban though.
