Yasuo and his "powerful" kit

Now, I know the wonderful LoL community will downvote me, because that is what is popular to do regarding posts which say Yas is weak or not broken. Whatever. I am not a great Yasuo player by any means and have a long way to go. However I can't do shit agains all the assassins that one shot you, or say an ekko who can shield himself while stunning you and if he gets low he just pops R. Or a rengar who just jumps on you. The only guys Yas beats are Talon-since Talon is even weaker and falls off late, also maybe Zed if I block 2 of his 3 qs. Oh and Sylas if he is some r%%%%% and didn't take aftershock. Bruisers fuck him early and it takes way too long to pop them and by then the enemy jg will have come. Assassins have more damage, ap assassisn and mages are even more disgusting. Now some idiots might say BUT what about Yassuo. He is Challenger, Yasuo is busted, blah blah. It is true that he is the best Yasuo, but it feels that only if you lay him at the max he is worth anything, not to mention Moe plays Sylas, LB etc and climbs because of them too. https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=yassuo This is his match history. Scroll down and see some sick games where if you don't know Moe you would say that he bought tear of the goddess and ran it down under tower. Like if the god of Yasuo goes 0 13, or even when winning goes 4 5 or something, then there is an issue with the champ. The reason Moe stays relevant is because he can cs much better than you and me. That is what I improve( though not so much since I don't play League as a job). And since it's for fun and not a job I protest that I can't have fun with Yasuo as he is so garbage. Even if ahead 1 cc and you are dead. Not to mention you gotta get in their face to do anything. Not to mention his WW is on fucking 20 sec cd and since yas is not a Bruiser he builds no CDR so it can't go to like 8. He is also as squishy as any adc but adc can stay behind and deal damge. Even if Yas' team wants to protect him, if he is to be useful he has to go in and when he does he will die unless he is 20 0. And that rarely happens since his laning and base damage are not at all great. If you guys actually wanan talk bring facts. Not OH but windwall is broken

  1. just walk past it
  2. is on a very long Cd Also-but his damage Even if he gets Shiv or PD and IE he is still a squishy fuck. It's not like you champion has not been building defense or damage. Also actual assassins like rengar or Khazix will just blow him up Oh and the shield everyone cries about is somewhat ok in the early game but still pokable, and it doesn't scale super hard(it;s not a 1000 damage shield). So at mid game the assassin will just pop yas even if he has some armor. Of course people ignore this and try to prove how broken Yas is by showing clips of underfed champs dying to him. Sorry but if your Talon hit his E and started autoattacking Yasuo while Yas hits q's then your talon will lose and feed. Or if the mage misses everything and still sits around his minions. Yas is good only when fed but so is every other champ. His mobility is the only thing that makes him "annoying" but even that is conditional. I wish they amke him less flashy and whatnot but a lot burstier and less mobile off minions and more like so many other mobility spells-they don't rely on minions but on the kit of the champ. Zed has his dashes regardless of anything, same with Lb same with Kata and her shumpo.

  1. just walk past it IT'S A TRAP, no but honestly, walking past wind wall is actually an idiotic move, yas basically gets a free kill off that since he can just play ring around the wind wall, actually if i remember correctly there is actually a spot where he can be completely immune to projectiles while its up

Honestly, I have started hating Yasuo way less since they have changed Conquerer since he doesn't stand on top of the minions and chucks you when you get close.

I don't play mages and ADCs though. I can't tell their frustration since my champion pool does ok into Yasuo.

However, Yasuo hits very hard at lv1, lv2, 1 item, 2 items, 3 items, 4 items etc.

You have a small window for a few levels and at lv 6 if you have a powerful ULT.

Also his Q interaction with item 3080 is so BS, 1 Q onto minions with item 3087+item 3080 and he heals for like 30-40% max HP. It should only apply the lifesteal on the 1st target hit.

Its no that his kit is powerful per say its that it includes alot of hand holding within it.

The way windwall works, ulting pushing him outside of tower range, q being scripted as an aa despite being an aoe ability.

Even silver Yasuos are threat to my Gold level Zilean simply because as long as they drop windwall i can't do anything regardless of skill differences in players. Rework windwall and then we can speak again about Yasuo not being overpowered.

Walk past windwall? Wouldn't that put you in melee range to Yas (worst possible range) and couldn't Yas dash past you and be behind the wall again?
