The gameplay boards has become the salt mines over Yasuo

TBH, just let a week or two pass with Yas. Let's get some data. Every thing heals with time.

If you're worried about a champion with a small player base not getting noticed over Yasuo, then realize that's a pretty bad way to look at things. If a majority of your playerbase likes one champ, or a large pool, it's going to be imperative to give them focus. Not to say people don't want other champs getting noticed, but it's more important to serve more people or "the greater good".

People are already complaining and crying rivers on yasuo when he hasn't even been much of a threat. He's annoying, like Teemo, but not strong.

Literally, for a long time, there's always been requests to nerf Yasuo in gameplay due to something being annoying USUALLY rather than actual pure raw strength. Small things like his "windwall starting from within the model" or "his ult placing him out of turret range". These are such minor isues, especially compared to more pressing gameplay matters like:

  • Orange essence
  • Towers
  • Reward/Leveling System
  • Inability for effective responses on trolls
  • Bot lane and Top lane relevance
  • Disparities between AD and AP

Man, the list goes on.

Anyways:

TL;DR: The gameplay section is a salt mine of intense circle jerking. Use some stats when complaining about a specific champion or your request for nerfs is insignificant. People need to see supporting evidence and conclusive statements. We need to address relevant issues.

Boards have long been hating Yasuo, whether if he's actually shit or not.

In fact, all of these are not news at all and have been a thing among Boards.

Yasuo could have a 1% winrate and it would still be hated by the boards and if he gets even the smallest of buffs in that situation the boards would explode saying how he doesn't deserve it and how frustrating it is to deal with him

Yasuo been at a decent win rate for this year https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/yasuo and only dipped due to preseason. But nope, w--bs ignore the fact that Yasuo has a decent win rate throughout his history while other champs has a way worse win rate history. Let's be honest here, the only circlejerk is the delusional yasuo mains trying to justify the buffs by any means.

Ay it’s the circle jerk.

I think the real issue most people have is Riot's attitude. Urgot has been stuck with a 35 something win rate for years until Riot did a rework while Yasuo has been weak with a 45% win rate for only a few patches and Riot deemed it "unacceptable". What's the point of balancing a game when its designers are blatantly biased for certain champs.

sorry but what? please give me proof that Urgot was at 35ish% winrate for years. He has never reached even 39% winrate and if he did it wasn't for long

My number were a bit off. Point still stands https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/urgot from Jul 2014-Mar2015 Urgot was stuck with a sub 45% win rate for virtually all the time.

Hell, I'm sure if we had s2/s3 data, proof for urgot being 35% win rate could be found. Maybe you haven't played long enough to know.

Ok ur got was bad but not that bad and the reason he sucked was he promoted uninteractive gameplay where if you hit with one corrosive charge you had to say goodbye to challenging him in lane

The problem is they were working on his relaunch for years but couldn't figure something out until recently.

There are a lot of champs in the game they want to address but no head lamp comes on for how to do it even with suggestions there are some golden ones which aren't seen or the popular suggestions which were deemed not to fit.

First of,he's more annoying than Teemo. Swcondly,what's the use of buffing him,if his banrate will just skyrocket?
