Yasuo

ArpeggiosOnFire·Oct 24, 2017·4 votes·489 views

Could somebody explain to me what is enjoyable about playing against Yasuo? I understand he is a balanced champion with a high skill cap and a handful of counters. I get it. But even with those counters, I've never really enjoyed playing against Yasuo. It's a chore to me. I have fun matches against zed or Leblanc or Riven. I've never enjoyed lanes against a yasuo. Windwall and passive shield kind of take the fun away from poking and/or bursting. and most people can't match his autos/q till super late game.

Is it just me or do other people just hate playing against Yas?

The fact that he is manaless, has spammable abilities, anti harass shield, and pushes waves really fast without even having to buy tiamat or statik shiv, makes it really frustrating to play against.

It's literally just that, I don't even think he is good, but I still ban him every single game, just because he is an annoying little shit of a champion.

I hate his dashes. In a full minion wave they're freaking obnoxious.

Why is it people feel champions should be fun to lane or face? Fun is winning, if your not winning than of course you aren't having fun A champion shouldn't be reworked or changed for you don't find him "fun to face" A champion should be fun to play and that's it.

Bet you wouldn't use this same line of reasoning if i were to say this exact same thing for my main... Soraka

i don't give a care for sorraka, the only reason I think she needs a rework is for as a champion she is far to keystone reliant, if windspeakers did not exist she would not be viable in the slightest, than a adc rushing executioners just ruins her life. The only reason I personally think she needs a rework so she's not so "heals or bust" I always felt she needed something else she can use. Sona has her Ultimate, Taric has his shields, nami has her cc, Sorraka is literally "if i can't heal my teamates i'm worthless, SHIT they built executioners"

Yeah, ill agree with you on that part... I've had some ideas on how to rework her since i played her from season 1 (Yeah back when she could give mana to allies and her Q shreded MR) but posting rework ideas on these boards is basically begging for downvotes for whatever reason...

I'm not here for up or down votes. I'm here to discuss what I believe is an unhealthy part of the game. If you can't enjoy the game, then what is the point of playing? If I spend my ban to ban yasuo every game, i'll never face him, sure. But by the same token, if he weren't such a chore to play around, I (or others) wouldn't ban him so often.

Riven is easier to predict and play against because her defensive options are limited. Wind wall + Dash + Shield makes Yasuo a bigger pain than he needs to be. Combined with his chase potential and damage spike after 1.5 items (100% crit), He seems unnecessarily annoying to lane against. Against LB and Zed I actually have some fun. It's a duel. It's enjoyable. Yasuo is a chore.
