...So why, for the love of god, are we still unironically complaining about Yasuo?

Like, really. Sure, he's annoying. But so is Singed. Yet nobody says he's broken.

Teemo's also annoying. Yet, outside of URF, unless you're a Darius main, you don't say Teemo's broken.

Does Yasuo need some kind of rework? Yes. He does. He needs to be made a bit less annoying to fight, and able to be played in higher tiers without stomping low tier. Does this mean he's broken? No. You can need a rework without being broken one way or the other. Riot does have him more or less balanced, so that he's not abysmal at all tiers (sucks higher up, but is viable in the more casual tiers), without automatically stomping any rank.

Just because he was buffed to be given a decent MR (still behind most melee champions in mr/level, though) doesn't mean he's suddenly become god tier, 80% winrate bullshit. He just got a buff that just about everyone that's not a tank needs right now - an actually relevant MR.

So calm the hell down. You can still instantly win against him by picking any assassin at all. That's all you guys pick, anyways.

because the people that play him are insufferable.

Does this mean we should bitch about calling Zed, Darius, and Ezreal broken?

Because they're generally more insufferable.

zed is possible, darius and ezreal don't literally have the worst people in league maining them.

Have you seen the Darius mains here?

They're some of the most entitled people on the face of the planet. They're 99% of the bitching about ranged toplaners, saying there's no counterplay to them.

Ezreal mains are just annoying showoffs. Not quite as bad as Yasuo or Lee mains, sure, but they're about that level.

actually, they're bitching because darius, and most other melee bruisers were gutted by the new runes.

I didn't have a problem with him until they increased his R and his MR growth.

He was balanced IMP but this just made him a lot worse to play against.

His R range was a pointless change. It doesn't really do anything, except let him be slightly safer in team fights where he has someone else able to cause a knockup for him.

His MR growth change is a chance everyone needs, though. Nobody but tanks have enough MR right now.
