Sometimes it feels like yasuo is only countered by one thing

and that's the person playing him, he has so much damage and harass you have to hold yourself back and not go overboard and kill yourself, i'm probably wrong but it just feels that way. If the yasuo isn't good, he'll outplay himself and hand you kills when he tries to 1v5(and when he does he can probably get a double before going down), if he's good that won't happen.

Just a thought i had, he could be perfectly balanced, doesn't mean i don't want riot to do to him what they did to azir.

Azir was way more broken than yas ever could be.

Also yas is pretty balanced. People that complain about him now forget his w had a passive that generated flow, and his e used to stack 4 times.

He sorta suffers from the same problem as Lee Sin, but worse. Lee's misplays get punished hard. Yas's misplays are punished extremely hard. If lee misses a q he cant get the kill. If yas misses the q he gets killed. Tank yas took that away, but they nerfed that.

What he has is a lot of play negation potential. That means that he can do something which negates something you are trying to do. Block ults with windwall, dodge skillshots with his dashes, absorb damage with his shield, etc.

Effectively, that means that he is the one controlling the fight. If he does everything perfectly, then if you are playing as certain champions you can't really do anything. If he messes up, then you can take advantage of that and beat him.

It's a broken skill curve where rather than the outcome being based entirely on comparing the two players' skill levels, the Yasuo player's skill matters much more than the other player's.

but in another thread yesterday people were complaining about how toxic Heimerdinger is to play against sometimes i really dont understand the community and what they bitch about

I don't think he is really overpowered at the moment, but I just hate having him in the game (on either team). I find that he is unfun to play with and against.

He is always my first choice of ban.
