When even armor tanks can't tank an enemy Yasuo...

Was Malphite, got an early Randuin and Ninja Tabi, was landing my Ground Slams on Yasuo, and guess how few fucks he gives because of his bullshit 50% bonus ArPen ult?

Many games have armor piercing options really balanced around the fact it is very situational, such as being single targeted or very slow to hit. Yasuo simply ignores these key rules applied in almost every game.

This. Once Yasuo ults, armor is irrelevant to him, and he shreds more shit than a Tryndamere or Yi can. It's bullshit.

Just saying, there is this game called armored core which is probably the most armor focused game in the world, and it has like a million calculations wherever a bullet is going through your armor or you being cced being deflected.

There is a single weapon in the game which totally disregards it and it has stupidly short range, slow and has only a fraction of impact time making it only useful on slow large targets with their backs turned against you so they cant gun you down. It also has a stupidly hard restriction on who can use it because you have to be mobile with almost no armor at all to shove this in. This is balance. You need to get through a number of barriers to get into a damn fortified fortress.

On the other hand, league made a huge mistake in implementing knockbacks on almost every single champion these days making yasuo ulting easy. I suggest removing some from the game even if it goes this way and turning them into stuns that can be QSSed.

Trynd and Yi can't shred armor, Yi only bypasses it with true damage.

Plus, you needed a Thornmail, Frozen Gauntlet, Frozen Heart, and Sunfire Cape as well. That will crush any, I say, any AD champion.

Except maybe Vayne.

Not only is it not loading for me, there is also no gameplay footage of malphite being shredded so easily.

i need a better citation.

You kinda brought this on yourself. Between ult and items he can ignore most armor. That is sorta his thing. Malphite is a counter-pick. You don't first pick him and you don't pick him into Yasuo. Your whole situation never should have happened.

Okay, so are you even supposed to pick ANY tank against a team with a Yasuo?

And FYI, I was a jungle Malphite, not top-lane.

Frankly, yeah. Bruisers are good tho. And some tanks like Sion or Naut. (Hypertanks with shields basically)

yasuo has 50% more dps than adcs at a 2 item point because he has twice the crit. well a little less because of the 90% ad however his Q quick aa reset kind of negates that by incrreasing his dps tremendously .
