I'm kind of tired being downvoted just for defending my main regardless if I'm right or not

So I'll just show a few clips that would better show my point. While this post may either

a. Get a lot of attention and a lot of downvotes anyway

b. get no attention and a moderate amount of downvotes

c. get no comments only downvotes

d. get ignored entirely

I'll do this dumb redemption for my own sake.

Matchup

Mastery 6 Lee Sin (me) VS Mastery 7 Yasuo (1mpostor)

I am a mastery 6 Lee Sin with 80k mastery points.

1mpostor is a Mastery 7 Yasuo with 250k mastery points.

Lane: Top Lane.

How I played: I played passively, trying to CS and land any long range E's possible. I let Yasuo bully me without punishment, which let him underestimate what I can actually do.

Is this some sort of thing you guys do not clearly see? Yasuo has little to no damage. This is because he ran PtA and not conquerer. Before conquerer Yasuo was a steaming pile of Sh** when it came to damage. I literally sat on him, dodged his slow Q at POINT BLANK and killed him while he blew all the damage he had on me, WHILE I TOOK 2 TURRET SHOTS. I have to actually play this weak champion I love and I would've never even played him if he wasn't so fun. You guys say Yasuo is so easy to play, yet once you know how to play Yasuo you literally curbstomp almost all Yasuo's you fight, regardless of their mastery points, mastery level and runes in general.

Here is another example of Yasuo doing no damage pre-conquerer.

I did not even buy armor early game other than cloth armor, not even ninja tabi. A full health Yasuo can't dive a Lee Sin with that low of an HP bar, just because he can't secure a kill fast enough without an ENTIRE RUNE?

Here's an example NOT showcasing his low damage with conquerer but how useless CC can make him if you time it.

Like last time, I was just following him and 1v1ing him even though he had ult? Why? 2 things.

I had a level lead

I had ult while he had ult.

"but yasuo main why is that one of the reasons why you were fighting him"

Because timed CC is the most broken counters on Yasuo. All you have to do is time hard CC when he has tornado so it will either run out, or hit you but he'll not be able to recover fast enough. And just to add insult to that I BM'd after a Q flash prediction.

I wanna see some arguments on how broken Yasuo is, how his LOW CD's make him too dangerous (even with that low damage) and how his tornado is oppressive.

Didn't read it.. but I did downvote.

im to tired to read all of this but where is his "low dmg" ? And maybe cc would be good counter but dont forget about his windwall

To be fair, Yas is a late game hyper carry. He shouldn't do a ton of damage early in the game. He still scales incredibly hard.

ANNND you still get downvoted. Rofl.

Those were some of the absolute worst examples you could have used. Yasuo had half your HP in the first clip and whiffed literally everything, only landed an EQ auto in the 2nd clip, and of course CC counters him. Well timed CC is literally counterplay.

Automated Riven4/19/2018, 4:06:41 PM2 votes

Example 1. He hit you with e and two autos at level 5 presumably before first back. What the hell do you want from that? Like a 500 hp nuke?

Example 2 he literally only lands EQ. That's it. Not a single auto attack. He cancels the only one he ques. These aren't examples of Yas being garbage (he is) they are examples of this Yas player being garbage.

Example 3. This is called counter play. There is nothing wrong with it.

Wha~! Yasuo too stronk early game!! (Quietly picks Renekton)

Wha~! Yasuo op after 2 items! 0/10 power spike! (Literally has never happened. I have never seen this is any of my games as or against Yasuo. And there is never footage supplied for this claim).

People is just mean, or jealous that they can't play the "broken champion" and win.

I will never understand it myself.

I think the problem comes when he is vs the champs he normally is against. In your video hes top vs a lee sin. I think lee sin would win that matchup more often.

But I normally see Yasuo mid....and most of the time I see him vs ranged, squishy ap champs. That is where his kit becomes so broken. I normally do better against him with Malphite than i do my normal mids Ziggs and Zyra. I pick malphite into Yasuo, Zed and Katarina. If they pick anyone else then ill pick my normal mids.

The first rule of vote club: Don't talk about vote club.

But seriously, just complaining about downvotes is going to get you more downvotes. That doesn't mean think it's right, but it's just how things work currently.

You can defend him all you want, wont stop people from banning him lol.

I feel like Yasuo is strong, hes just comp dependent. Like, if you have a bunch of knockups on your team hes going to do great. If you don't, well theres a good chance hes going to get rekt.

I also hate how hes on that list of mechanically superior champs that are capable of outplaying every situation in the game, so when a Yasuo finds himself losing(fully aware that he has superior mechanics) they tend to enter a toxic rage, and unplug their PC. Since it hurts to lose fights, when you have the tools to potentially win every fight.

Lee Sin is not the best example, he outdamages a lot of champs level 1 Edit: Eh, early game in general. Sorry, "level 1" was just a habit. Used to main Karthus.

Yasuo has really terrible design flaws.

For Yasuo there is no in-between, you either do really poorly and feed all game or get 2 kills and utterly destroy the enemy team. Thats not good gameplay design at all and its the reason Yasuo is arguably the most hated champion in the community.

When I say there's no in-between i literally mean it.

Yasuo could go 0/12/0 all game and 2 things can happen.

a) He wont catch up, ever, he becomes completely useless. b) He manages to luckily get a kill or two and get item 3046 item 3031 at which case he becomes an unstoppable monster that's one shotting everyone.

There is no catching up, you either do bad or you instantly win the game, his power scale is so out of balance that playing as or against him is just frustrating for everyone.

That title let me feel your pain but still you gotta accept that in the gameplay boards being correct has little meaning. Facts and data mean less meaning than that.
