Nerfing Yasuo

Calli··5 votes·651 views

Yasuo needs to be nerfed, period.

he has a extremely fat 0.5 - 1 sec stun with the whirlwind and playing against him mid is the most canceris thing in League of Legends

if ur vsing him with someone like Leblanc, or Zed it is pretty much impossible to get cs, this is through the q (steel Tempest) with makes it hard for most champions to move up on lane to last hit, or any ranged mid champion is even worse with the Wind Wall ability (W) which blocks any ability if used correctly.

He doesn't need to worry about mana reservation cos of the energy mechanic.

But, worsed of all is his e (Sweeping Blade) which completely removes the idea of positioning in LoL. Dashing a decently sized distance every second ruins any kind of mid play or combo. the only counter is a champ with a low cooldown stun like which u pretty much have to pray to hit whenever he goes into a dashing spree (which is also hard to hit while dashing)

His Ultimate (Last Breath) looks so epic but is the 1 of the most annoying abilities in league, Like the Zed ult u can't attack whilst in the animation which is pretty much free damage. When Yasuo adds all these combos together he can destroy lane, mid game, and late game quite easily.

Yasuo <---------------------- riot, Pls Nerf

This really is why I hate low elo players

The constant

"oh my god no way did they out play me, its because the champion is fucking broken, yeah that's the reason im silver with a 40-50 percent win loss streak"

This is basically the problem with letting silvers / bronzies, and arguably even golds / plats try and talk balance at all.

The stats really don't lie, Yasuo is basically right on the money balance wise. His bases and early game have been significantly nerfed to compensate for his beastly mid / late game, and he's not showing as "toxic" or "too strong" in any area.

The only thing wrong with him is how much difficulty bad players have accepting responsibility for their own poor play and learning from their mistakes.

Honestly low elo players can talk seriously about the game and balance once they admit they are ass and start analyzing the game at a heavy level.

Take me for example, in terms of talent I am mediocre at best, maybe one day I will get to challenger, but that sure as hell aint happening this year. But I am very passionate about this game and study it at a very deep level through a number of perspectives, hell I could even explain why lcs players skip lane phase and push for tower trades, and how the fad/strat started happening.

But I am only able to study and explain the game at such a deep level for I am willing to admit I am ass at this game, I am mediocre at best.

TLDR-you only start learning when you are willing to admit you know nothing.

That video really isn't a good argument for him needing to be nerfed

I mean they can be used for it but you didn't support the video proving him to be too strong very well either

Anyone can hand pick good moments to make a champion shine- doesn't seem like one person either

With all the strong champs in the game your going to want to nerf yasuo right now? They just redid warlords, which lowered him a bit, but seriously, this guy is so far from OP it's crazy, however, hes not UP either, I think he's in a great spot right now, good in certain comps and against certain champs, but Yasuo crumbles against a lot of matchups/comps.

Yasuo is actually in a pretty good spot right now compared to recent times... in my opinion, anyway. Guess I'm just a bronze-silver scrub but y'know. Most lower elos are the ones complaining about Yas so I think that's saying something.

Okay, let's address this really simply. The rest of his kit aside, (E may be broken, but we'll hold out on that) there is one aspect of his kit that is broken. His passive doubles his crit chance, which allows him to max crit chance in two items. (Which at least doubles his base damage, and since that works for his Q as well, it becomes quite powerful. Other than that, Yasuo is very difficult, with very little base damage. (which is why his ult has so much.) And so he would not be overpowered. (In fact, if his doubling crit-chance were removed he would probably need more power added. I think he should get a flat amount of bonus crit-chance/damage on his Q.)

I think in he's in a great spot right now. Although he's considered, "Feed or famine", which basically means if he doesn't get fed or falls behind, it's hard to catch up. Just shut him down early and he's dead weight.

Presenting as proof a video done 10 patches (more or elss) ago when Yasuo was at his peak of performance and ppl still didn't understand that stacking up against a Yasuo+Orianna, Yasuo+Malphite , Yasuo+LeeSin etc. was a bad idea.
