Is is it strange that I find yasuo balanced?

Unless they are scripting or something no yasuo can dodge 100% of your skill shots when he has his nado i play super safe then i bring down his barrier wait for it to go off then start bringing some pain Always be wary when around minions since he has infinite dashes He has to survive for 3 Q's before he can murder the enemy team He actually does have a skill cap there are the baduos and the gooduos

the bad ones just dash randomly and click buttons randomly the good ones wait for a dangerous projectile then windwalls and use there dashes to dodge everything

now can we stop misinforming newbie's that he is broken and easy?

EDIT:Yasuo also hate any champion that can go through his wall + POINT AND CLICK JUSTIIIIICE

Overall I feel like a lot of people simply don't know how to play against yasuo. When I play against him I usually try to poke him with my auto attacks to deplete his shield before i start to use my skills on him. If he can block my skills with his wind wall I'll simply do it after his Wind wall has vanished. Yes he can move around a lot with your minions,but only if he positions himself correctly and you can see where he's gonna go. He usually then becomes problematic once he starts roaming,killing my teammates and getting fed on them...

Also it's hilarious if you play Xerath and yasuo doesn't realize that he can't block your Q,since its a beam and not a projectile xD

Lost the count of the awesome lot of ppl who tried it against me. I should say thanks to whiners for spreading the "Wind Wall blocks all ranged OMFGOP" rumor xD

broken? yes, double crit makes him inherently broken.

easy? not by a long shot.

but yeah you're correct.

True damage > crit even if you could start at 100% crit chance from level 1.

... That's relevant... how?

A lot of characters and other melee carries got true damage as steroid.

Yas is difficult TO LEARN compaired to a majority of champs.

Once someone understands him he's not overly difficult.

Why people should cry about Yasuo? It's about Warlords Bloodlust mastery which made him overpowered during the preseason. Other than that he is fine, a strong laner having a superb midgame and a late game champion reliant on your team comp. He has above average tools to outplay other people, but both he has an extremely easy time to fuck up his plays. It's all reliant on player. There are other mids that boards should be crying about: Ahri Lux extremely safe full skillshot champions having above 50% win rate.

Because you have unknowingly cited, acknowledged and demonstrated the reasons for the complaints that I see so many times about Yasuo. The lane, the match-up, how the game plays out, whatever you want to call it, are all dependent on Yasuo. It's dependent on Yasuo "fucking up" or him not "fucking up" because, as you said, Yasuo has been given more tools to "outplay other people" and tools that deny the opponent's ability to do so: Yasuo gets to make the plays, Yasuo gets to dictate the lane, the other player has to wait for him to "fuck up" so they can do something to take advantage of it. What you have said is a problem because it means that the other player doesn't get to "play" for the first however-long-laning-is minutes, they just get to react to someone else making the plays.

Every other laner also is beaten by them fucking up. It's how the game actually works.

You wait for them to make a fuck-up, you punish it. In the meantime, don't make one yourself. Every champ can fuck up in one way or another, the ones with no escapes are usually punished harder for it, however they get bigger rewards if they don't fuck up.

I don't really have an issue with his current state of balance. Admittedly I would rather not have one on my team (similar to Riven, Vayne and Zed, I find many of the players rather unreliable and quick to rage when doing poorly), but I've not really had any issues playing against him.

I think the main issue is that a lot of people find him un-fun to play against, not that he's actually overpowered. While he does counter some champions (primarily skill-shot dependent mages), you can always play around him and there are many champions who just outright invalidate him (Cho'gath, Annie, the majority of bruisers, etc).

In addition, many players just don't bother altering their build-path or play-style to account for him. I've seen mid-laners in Gold, Platinum, and Diamond just continue their normal build instead of purchasing some early armor and complaining when they die to him after overextending past their own minion wave.

You should probably expect to be downvoted by salty players though. It's easier for them to complain and beg for nerfs than it is to learn how to play against him properly.

funny thing is some Yasuo's say bullshit to basically any champion even the skillshot reliant ones when they lose lane then i laugh so hard

because i basically know there pattern its simple,easy to learn and easy to beat
