Can people stop picking Lux into yasuo? She isn't a counter.

AMADEUSdotEXE··20 votes·2,827 views

His E and W counter her entire kit. His Ult can dodge any and all parts of her kit if timed correctly. Legit please stop picking her into him she isn't a counterpick unless he doesn't know how to stand behind minions/press W.

Maybe they pick a champion they are comfortable on in the match-up/in general and your assumption that they are counterpicking is simply wrong.

Why would someone be comfortable in a highly unfavorable matchup? I like garen, do you really think i'm going to pick him into gnar or teemo? Riven into Garen?

im confortable against darius, garen, teemo... when i pick Wukong. Are u forgetting there's otp in this game ?? But in lux case its unlikely they're otp lux, most of time its a bad choice.

Like u said most people don't main Lux. I do main her and I can say vsing a yasuo isn't hard. You just play safe and don't feed him. For as long as he doesn't get a snow ball Lux has more impact in the team fight

Sun Wu Ryuumoku1 votes

i don't know how they feed him... u have all to at least farm safely.

Go exhaust and laugh as they can never all in u

I don't mind facing Yas as Lux, they're usually really bad players and they get cocky and make stupid mistakes that are easy to punish. Bait windwall and he's useless until it's back up.

I love when people pick garen into my riven. She smashes him. ROFL. People need to get off the garen beats riven bandwagon cause it's downright false. Renekton beats riven.

I also will pick riven into anything. Because I know that even if I lose lane I will be far more valueble later on in the game if I am on riven compared to other champions.

To be fair: You shouldn't pick Garen, period.

Is garen bad rn? I actually have been doing well with him (not winning)

Definitely. Riot's trying to fix him up though.

The answer is always karthus.

Yasous windwall does nothing and he has enough range to safely farm even against yasous E.

RainXBlade2 votes

Yasuo's W can't protect him from all his spells yes, but that does not mean he can't kill you.

Karthus has enough range to safely farm even against Yasuo's E

Karthus is a Mid-Range Mage. He has range yes, but not something like Lux or Xerath. Range also doesn't always guarantee safety against a decent Yasuo.

Karthus is also a safe pick, which also means he can't act too aggressively too much or else Yasuo's low cooldowns can and will beat his mana pool. You can afford to play safe yes, but that also means letting Yasuo farm his items, and many offensive items are more powerful on Yasuo than in most champions.

Let's not also forget that items like Hexdrinker (and even Maw exists) that Yasuo can get after his PD.

Depends on the lux,

Lux easily holds the wave where she wants and lands Q the moment he dashes. As long as you're calmly reading and predicting him.

She can easily bait his windwall, and completely shut yasuo down.

If one thinks lux can't counter yasuo it's the lux's fault for picking her up without knowing how to play her, because punishing and bullying yasuo and wave controlling is easy with lux.

Yasuo hella misplayed and actually would've won if he didn't cancel his last auto under the tower... literally only got that outplay off because of his mistake. Other than that, the first half of the video absolutely shows why yasuo dominates lux.

it was a bit of a joke but thank you for your analysis, you are correct

I beg your pardon

So you missed like 40 cs just to kill yasuo instead of going back?

And that yasuo missed like 15 Q's.

LOOL.

I'm afraid to say this but Yasuo won that.

ananke2 votes

i feel like no one knows this is a joke reply, i am completely aware of that but it was a normal game vs a yasuo and i set myself the challenge of killing yas as much as possible. i succeeded, wonderfully

I beg your pardon

All im seeing is someone who got zoned away from 30+ cs trying to get lucky before getting a lucky hit, therefore still putting him behind in lane. ~30 cs is worth two kills

ananke1 votes

holy shit can people stop telling me how bad my playing was i'm aware of that but in that game it didn't really matter because we were so ahead and i just wanted to kill the yasuo for laughs

Ok sure but why2 votes

Her ult shoots right through his wind walls tho

TheDangerousTaco2 votes

honeslty I don't see it. Maybe its my boosted silvernes speaking, but I never had a hard time against yas. when I play I bait out his windwall, poke his passive with an auto, and Q when he dashes towards me. If you snare him, he cant ult, so its a even match up imo.

Sun Wu Ryuumoku3 votes

u play against silver yasuo, thats why.

I used to main lux last season, and lmao, yasuo is your hardest counter

i legit asked for support if after picking lux they picked yasuo

sobi9992 votes

The trick to beating yasuo is to freeze wave near turret. farm in safety and poke him. If he dashes too close Q him and AA and run back. Its really hard to do but thats what a lux should do against a yasuo. Yasuoo counters all poke mages tbh, he was designed like that.

SSrikeShadow1 votes

If you miss your Q against yasuo with the wave near your turret, you're dead. All he has to do is flash over your Q, knock you up and kill you. His passive will take one turret hit anyway.

Handin Out Naps1 votes

How lol? If you are farming right next to your turret you should never be low enough to be all in'ed by Yasuo. He will just take tower agro every time he tries to hit you lol.

SSrikeShadow1 votes

His passive can take the first tower hit so he can flash onto you, knock you up and then his ult +1 or 2 aa's will 100 to zero you.

Handin Out Naps1 votes

So the yasuo you are playing against started the game with 2 full items? Damn that's unlucky. Also tower shots don't pop his shield it just hits his actual hp.

Naching2 votes

I didnt feel any problem more than normal playing Lux vs Yasuo, maybe she isnt a counter but she did well humiliating him many times. Of course he can destroy Lux too but dodge his Q is easy most the times if you are in good position and being foresighted he did nothing to you...but yes in a gank Lux have much more chance to die than yasuo if she fails her Q.

But dont forget 89% of the Yasuos are feeders, the best counter are themselves! [slayer-jinx-wink]

RainXBlade2 votes

I can't wait for the 11% to actually show their faces yet.

Wind wall doesn't block final spark. Lux can poke out yas bait his wind wall and then 100-0 him.

SSrikeShadow1 votes

His passive will block the poke unless you can get the AA in too and if you get close enough to AA him then he can kill you.

Aniva is also frequently met with lux, and luxes get bursted

I really enjoy playing diana into yasuo

Doodlzzz1 votes

the trick with laning against yasuo is that when he is in the middle of a dash, you can aim your skillshot to his destination and it almost always hits.

Psyrix1 votes

lol, Lux's ult will go through yasuo's windwall, she's also relatively good at zone control

That said. Don't play Garen for 2000+ games. Yes, he's fun. But don't.

I just play Annie. Only part he can block is her Q. Diana also works but all In gets a tad trickier.
