Yasuo Is Quite Unhealthy for the Game

First of all, no, I'm not a "bronze pleb", but I can tell you from playing against him on multiple occasions (more than you think) that he is not fair. When you have a champion with an extreme amount of DPS, a shield, a .5 second dash, and an extreme amount of mobility in general, and you don't think he's unfair... I don't know what to say; his kit literally screams "OVERLOADED". The easiest way to fix him, in my opinion, is to increase the cooldown on his E. It would work perfectly and sounds fair to me. I'm not the first person to say this, and unfortunately, I won't be the last it seems... But it's really tiring to constantly go against him and I can't hold my opinion to myself any longer.

Stop listing strengths without telling his weakness's it makes for a poor argument and makes you sound insanely biased.

Yasuo could or could not be strong, I'm not going to argue that but if your going to argue at least make valid and smart points, all your doing is saying "EXTREME X" and all of a sudden you just completely ruined your argument, because you used a hyperbole.

Hate me for this...

But heres a comment in the same style... for Urgot.

he is not fair.

https://champion.gg/champion/Yasuo

51% winrate on top, which makes him No. 20/55 champions.
48% winrate in mid.

Balanced on top, slightly underpowered in mid. How is that "unfair"?

And before you accuse me of being a "Yasuo-Abuser": I do not even own the champion. Neither on any of my smurfs, nor on my main. I just have an incredibly easy time beating him whenever I meet him in lane-

i disagree with the op, but winrate has no association with the "fairness" of the champion involved - the traditional example of this is Urgot, who has an unfair combat pattern despite being one of the weakest champions in the game

If you're going to come to my post and say that he's balanced because of his winrate, that's not the point of my post. The point is to tell everyone that his kit is overloaded and needs to be toned down. Also, according to your cool little statistics, he is played the second most of any champion, and he's been banned over 30% of games in the last month... and he's got that winrate with how difficult he is supposed to be? He's insane! But I have to thank you. After looking at these statistics, it makes me realize that you're completely incorrect because you lack the ability to take everything into account.

No, but it shuts you down perfectly, by revealing you as yet another person whos just frustrated with Yasuo, while having no argument as to why he should be nerfed.

Your personal frustration is not an argument.

and he's got that winrate with how difficult he is supposed to be? He's insane!

According to whom, silvers?

But I have to thank you. After looking at these statistics, it makes me realize that you're completely incorrect

Making such a statement and failing to provide arguments as to why you believe that is the case, makes you look incredibly moronic.

Also, according to your cool little statistics, he is played the second most of any champion, and he's been banned over 30% of games in the last month.

Only confirms that there are a lot of "bronze plebs" who seriously need to learn how to counter one of the easiest shut down champions in the game.

But its so much easier to just complain instead of learning, right?

to be fair plenty of champions got nerfed simply for being frustrating to play against

You are not wrong, but the reverse is true as well.

Your logic will hurt their brain, temporarily stopping their circle jerk, stop it.

Another pleb crying about Yasuo. Waaaaa he isn't fair. Like git good. Extreme mobility, what oh what could ,on Runeterra, counter such a hard hitting champion, maybe any form of cc? He screams "overloaded" lolz no, that is too stupid to address. Yup take away his one useful move and leave him immobile in fights, great thinking. It sounds fair to you because you are pleb. You are not the first not the last in the long line of Yasuo circle jerkers, very true, do you have any point? none whatsoever. Try idk a counter maybe? lolz.

Congrats OP. You've failed to understand how skirmisher works and simply listed all his strengths. It's easy to make any champion sound overpowered or unhealthy by doing so, I could make wukong sound unhealthy with one post by listing all his strengths. Is hee unhealthy? No, not at all.
