Yasuo is incredibly annoying

I don't care if hes technically balanced because of numbers/whatever, his kit is ridiculous and playing against him is one of the worst parts of this game. He has a ton of mobility and a bunch of unnecessary passives (like the doubled crit chance & his bonus penetration in his ult), his windwall is total bullshit and is too powerful to not be an ult, and playing against him just makes you want to scream and rip your hair out. And unless his kit completley changes he's going to continue to be this frustrating to play against.

And we all know he's probably not going to get changed because he makes those LC$BIGPLAY$ for Riot Game$.

edit: Don't suggest ways to counter/beat him please, I know how to deal with him in lane my sole issue is that his kit, no matter his state of balance, will always be toxic and annoying. Stop saying "git gud" lmao

The one that I hate the most is that his q procs auto attack on hits, INCLUDING grasp of the undying and warlords/fervor.

Champ is stupid.

Annoying? Yes. Balanced? Probably.

Chogath is good against Yasuo . Trust me. He makes CSing for Yasuo a living hell with his Vorpal Spikes. There are many other champions who are good against him and can make his laning phase a living hell. Including but not limited to these champions: Riven Mordekaiser Fizz Malzahar Pantheon Swain Diana These are just some examples.

As a Yasuo main with 90k+ points on him, he needs a damn rework already. His kit is just stupidly broken and allows you to build item 3046 and item 1018 which gives 100% crit, not to mention infinite dashes and a whopping 50% bonus armor penetration ultimate which is just stupid as fuck. Also, people building him and then going full tank, FUCK YOU.

He's not very good in terms of raw achievements (with hard data to show that), but yes, he's annoying as fuck to play against.

Play Fiddlesticks , I was beating a Yasuo so badly with him that the Yasuo complained that it was because Yasuo takes "LCS level skills to play and takes none so he had no chance"

why downvotes And we all know he's probably not going to get changed because he makes those LC$BIGPLAY$ for Riot Game$.

Because of that. Yasuo isn't just "balanced" because of numbers, he's bad because of numbers. He won't see competitive play. And this LCSBIGPLAYS circlejerk luckily doesn't just piss me off.

Braum's shield is objectively better than wind wall and Yasuo thrives on baiting you into fighting him, which is not something that pro players fall for.

I dunno, the more I play against Yasuo, the more predictable I find him. His moves are relatively easy to dodge, especially the heavily telegraphed tornado, and his wind wall is fairly simple to bait or aim around for many/most champs.

edit: why downvotes..... do yall NOT think hes annoying or something? or are yall just sheep who think any thread talking about balance is just rants? lmao

Frankly, I've decided to learn Yasuo and play almost nothing but him anymore. I can't play against him. I really don't care how many counters he has, he makes the game for everyone involved a huge game of "You better counter-pick me or else I'll make sure you have no fun."

The problem with yasuo? He can max out his mobility tool without having to trade off damage. I want to remind to everyone that not only yasuo can dash through minions but also on champions, making 3rd Q a lot easier to land and making teamfights a living hell, not even counting the fact that with just a W he's able to zone out every ranged from the fights.

I think yasuo will be a major threat in the future, i am already starting to see a quite popular build where he goes triforce/tank while still being able to do quite high damage.

So my changelist would be (just one of these changes would be fine):

revert yasuo Q so that the CD doesn't scale with attack speed but with Q levels. In this way he will be forced to max Q first instead of the E, making his laning phase much more counterable. Honestly at the moment he can spam tornados even just with the Q at level one without really trading off that much damage.
remove the damage ramp up from E. The base damage is already high, i don't really get why it should also ramp up?
Make windwall duration scale with levels, i would say something like 1/1.25/1.50/1.75/2 (at max level it would still be a nerf, considering this ability is not an ultimate it is still fair considering the potential to also nullify ultimates).
Remove armor pen on the ulti so that he has to build armor pen items to stay relevant.

Again, just one of these nerf would be enough to make him a lot less frustrating to play against.

His wind wall is indeed a little bit strong for a Skirmisher. But it still fits into the design of a Skirmisher tho. The only change I want to see on him is that his RESOLVE Passive (flow shield). Moves to his W. It's a simple change that could give the perfect hit for his level 1 powerspike we all hate. I'm still wondering why they still didn't do this yet after all this time...

Have you ever played against gnar? Just a comparison. I agree with you on the annoyance but there are some annoying champs
