This game would be better off without Yasuo in it

I honestly don't understand why this champion even exists. Look at his ban rates - when has it ever been below 50%? This champ is nothing but a tumor to everyone who just wants to have fun playing on the Rift. There is no fun with this champ present. It's hilarious how ONE champion can make a game miserable for both teams. Either rework him completely or delete him. People are tired of having to waste a ban on something that shouldn't exist.

Riot considered giving yasuo a rework to remove his problematic mechanics. Meddler said they prefer keeping yasuo weak and preserving his unique mechanics.

His only reasoning was- "we thought about it a lot"

I kid you not. Nothing else.

Every day I see people complaining about Yasuo.

Meanwhile I, with my small brain, cry about Lux. Bulllshit hitboxes and 10 second ult cooldown

xD

The problem is not even overpowered.

The problem is that if you don't ban him you find him in every game. Also, is absolutely miserable and boring laning against him, he has too many tools, he can be 0-5 and become a menace a minute latter….

i can understand the annoyance of playing vs yasuo. but i got so use to him now i dont bother banning him. dont get me wrong he can be a big pain in the ass and turn a game on his own if he gets a good ult even after you shit on him the entire game. but i seem to not see him much of lately and when i do teams i play on seem to know how to focus him.

if people cared enough to learn to play against him they wouldnt have him banned and then again if people cared enough a vast majority wouldnt be silver-bronze

I literally cannot say anything against Yasuo because people will think I am basis af as a MissFortune main. Yet, my only real problem is that a BASIC ability can block the entire width and duration of MissFortune's ult. I mean, even Fiora's block isn't that OP. She still gets hit by some of it. Yasuo just says "Begone MF ult".

Also, some else I have against Yasuo is that he is the "anti-range" character, yet he still gets some range to work with both on his Q and his Ult.

Yasuo is one of the reasons I can't bring myself to queue for mid lane anymore. It's not fun having to be forced to never be able to win lane against him because you dared to first pick someone like lux. It's not fun to be resigned to be shoved in and have 0 agency over the midgame while yasuo is allowed to either sit mid and continue to shove you in or roam. And you can't contest his push-no, if you do that you're just going to get all in-ed through your minions and slaughtered unless you're playing a counterpick.

he wont receive any changes he has special protection since he is really popular and sells a lot of skins

The Whamboozler12/7/2018, 10:37:44 PM5 votes

They won't ever do this because Yasuo moves skins. He's super popular with the weeb crowd, of which there are many. Mofo makes them too much cash for them to do anything to him.

Idk I love Yasuo players. Both on my team and as an opponent. I'm a Vi main. Nothing fucks Yasuo more than Vi and Naut R, but Vi can one-shot him as well. Camping a yasuo and tilting him to oblivion is one of my favourite things in this game.

  1. When he is on my team, it's just as easy. Get lvl6 go bot and call the yasuo. If I land a good ult it can allow yas to ult both of them. There you have a 2 kills yasuo with PD. Even if he sucks dick he can r my r and then he's gonna get focused later, allowing me to punch through the back line. I just LOVE yasuos. Vi

They should give him the kalista treatment.

The game would be better off without every champion/rework that has happened since Yasuo* Including Yasuo. Is what you mean.

GinoSoldier12/7/2018, 11:00:00 AM4 votes

... And Zed, and Fizz and Leblanc and Rumble and Fiddlesticks and Irelia and Jax and Jarvan IV and Lee Sin and Wukong.

...What? I don't like people who can delete squishies without giving them appropriate response time or chance for counterplay.

Hollowchazz12/7/2018, 3:48:44 AM4 votes

Yasuo isn't that OP.

Jax should get removed. I'm glad his late game got nerfed a bit by reducing his ults damage a good chunk but his helicopter is on too Low of a CD, he can use it twice in a duel so you really can't outplay him.

GreenKnight12/7/2018, 3:57:45 PM4 votes

He's not that hard to play against, but it's so tiring seeing him in almost every match.

Carteeeer12/8/2018, 9:23:56 PM4 votes

I really hope riot does the right thing aka never letting certainly t make stupid champs ever again, he should be coming up with cool concepts for characters and how you can make their abilities look cool but every champ hes made has been problematic

Akaśhí12/7/2018, 2:03:47 PM4 votes

Instead of complaining what about you guys actually learn to play and when you get 3/0 or 5/0 against Yasuo or Zed to keep them under pressure so they won’t get fed? Oh wait it is easier to not deal with them and just leave them to farm freely and do missplays giving him bounty or not signaling when he goes to roam or even trying to defy him from farming, like It is not that hard to freeze the lane and make Yasuo to decide whatever he will break the freeze and farm while dying in the process but wait why do I try to explain something like wave managment to Bronze(max Silver) players that don’t even bother to learn the game, but don’t worry right? It is easier to complain how the champion is broken... Do you even know what you complain about ? The only time when Yasuo was strong was in season 6 when he was known more like “Tanksuo” later he was nerfed to the ground? And why you talk about deleting the champion? There are people that actually play the game just because 1 champion and for some of them It is this champion you want to delete, would you want your champion to be deleted just because some kids whine ?

Yasuo it' just the first nail in the coffin but not the last

"Imagine if i needed more than 2 W to kill any ADC" Neeko NEEKO require skill to play ... come on!, All ppl know it's pretty easy to miss an R that cover half screen can't be flashed out and stun you while also chunking 50% of you HP and giving a massive shield ( oh and i still don't get how a channeled ability can work with item 3157 ) Rengar Khazix 1 Q is all they need Yasuo You deny my farm? ..... You managed to oppress me ? ... no prob i just hit 6 complete 1 item and none can outrade me at this point. WIth my 0 CD q and R and a wall that block from any position Zoe I was fine on release ... ppl just want to have an easy life .... look at me now i'm no more able to oneshot ppl i need at least 2 skill MonkeyKing Well i'm a monkey just press EQR and pick that killl you don't need any brain to use me Leblanc Dash ...

Honestly Yasuo is kindda hard to mess with in terms of design.

If u remove one/some of his ablities, he becomes complete trash. if u leave them as they are, they become annoying to play against.

In my honest opinion(as a tf main who hates yasuo and ban him 100% of the time btw) Yasuo's only way to be balanced, is to be completely reworked.

Yasuo has the extreme mobility in the game, very strong early game, very defensive early game as well(shields and dashes and windwall), and also he scales pretty well mid and late game, also his powerspike is pretty cheap for a champion who plays crit(which is supposed to be a late game thing), very strong against adc's, very strong against mages, very strong against bruisers and tanks(his R does armor pen), he's got sustained damage, huge snowballing potential.

[PROBLEM] is, if u nerf any of the above strengths, he becomes useless.

You do know he is the most played champion in the game by a hugs margin because he is the most fun...

There's nothing wrong with Yasuo, idk why people still bring this up. He's not a braindead champion that's easy to play, and he's not overpowered. Some people are garbage and some people are good af when they play Yasuo. Does this hatred come from being destroyed by a Yasuo OTP and then picking him up the next game expecting to do just as well as him and failing miserably? Is it the dash? the windwall? It's not like you can just dash anywhere and everywhere without thinking and get a pentakill, it's not like pressing W without the proper timing / position instantly deletes every single projectile in the game at that very moment.
