10 ban system is stupid/no reason to nerf yasuo

First off, I personally think that the 10 bans system is inefficient and poorly designed. I would have preferred for a system akin to the one recently used in the LCS, so that necessary, OP champions can be banned in the first round, while people can still get their champion(like Yasuo or Lee) that is disliked. THis way, 10 bans still exist, but it's not as oppressive to people who play these popular champions. As a Yasuo main, I'd like to focus on yasuo. I don't really see why we should keep nerfing this champion, especially because of how little he will be played after this new system. If you nerf him, his playrate will go down, but people will still ban him because of his seemingly "unfun" kit. If you're not in low elo, there's almost NO reason to even THINK that this champion is broken; CC completely shuts him down and counters him, so all you have to do is throw your cc at him and watch him melt. I also know that a lot of people don't like the windwall, but it's far from broken. Just because it's a unique ability that can block projectiles, doesn't make it broken. It's one of Yasuo's only tools to survive, and it's almsot completely useless against melee champions that beat him in the early-mid game, and sometimes even in the late game. All you have to do to counter it is to wait it out or walk through/around it, and use your cc to prevent him from being able to retaliate. Even slows are extremely effective here. If you think his e is oppressive, all you need to do is let him push and kill the minions so that he has nothing to dash to to outplay you. Even better, freeze the lane and try to zone him with your range. Once again, CC is extremely effective here. I think that Riot is just nerfing Yasuo because a lot of low elo players either don't want to learn how to deal with him, or don't know how to deal with him, but it's not fair to us high elo Yasuo mains who have to struggle against people who know how to counter Yasuo.

I fucking love this. Grovel at my knees, Yasuo playing scum. You will never have your champ again so long as I get a ban. Go ruin a bot game.

If Riot makes it so he has to aim his Wind Wall, he might have a chance to come off of people's permaban list. The ability is frustrating enough as is, but when you see a Yasuo panic throw it the wrong way at the last second and it still eats your only stun... That's where I think it's unacceptable.

Then again, I play Xerath, so that's the only thing he can block. I at least get to see the panicked low health Yasuo's throw it up as I release my Q, and I smile as I know my attack is still going through.

(Because I can ignore Wind Wall, I ban Katerina instead)

1- This ban system is amazing, you just dont like it because yasuo is going to have a 140% ban rate. Solo queue doesn't have any planning, so there is no reason to have it like LCS. We all know what we're banning before we even queue up.
2- LCS system would take way too long 3- Yasuo was buffed with the update to crit items, and tanks having less health, but more armor to shred. This nerf didn't even take away his playstyle or damage. Also, you've played 1 game with the nerf. 4- Yasuo is good in high elo. I don't really have any solid evidence for this besides one of the best Korean players, Apdo, saying he's broken. And the fact that if you look at lolskill, there are plenty of master/challenger yasuo players. While if we look at someone who is actually bad in high elo like garen, there is just one, and that is in the LAS server. A champ with that much pressure early, with a strong one item spike is going to be good in higher elos.

it's not fair to us high elo Yasuo mains

5- Plat 2 isn't high elo. Your best winrates aren't even on yasuo. 6- CC might as well counter every champ that isn't tank. That isnt a good argument for a counter. 7- Try thinking without being so biased.

Yasuo won't ever be balanced unless his shield gets an HP bar :P

Oh wait... you mean like how Riot nerfed LeBlanc and Rengar because high elo and pro players were too good with them and challenger and pro teams didn't want to deal with them?

Yeah it sucks when the entire game only gets balanced around one end or the other doesn't it? Clearly people just find yas unfair to play against at least in lane.

Just because a champion will get banned in draft/ranked doesnt mean he wont be played in normals.

And I get 14 down votes for speaking my opinion and telling the truth about yasuo. Guess that's how this community has to be
