I dislake Jax and Jhin right now too but what is the problem with Ahri? Can't imagine seeing one out of aram in my last 100 games or something like that.

1.7% pick rate.

yes, the 3 people who are playing him on bot lane, are really good at playing yasuo.

Its very likely that the person playing him likely duos with someone and has them pick a champ to sync well with Yasuo's kit (Braum, Ali, Thresh, Pyke, Blitz, and the honorable mentions of Gragas, Naut, Rakan, and Poppy).

I mean, issue with him is that once his passive shield is off, he loses hella defensive stats for armor. Bot lane would abuse the hell out of it, and also the fact that his e is pretty small and requires someone to be at least next to or barely away from him to get the AS slow to work.

I don't think I have ever seen a Yasuo ADC in ANY game I played. And by the looks of it, you haven't either.

No argument?

Maybe because of his insane ban rate?

Junkο6 votes

He is banned because of his mid and top lane, not because of his ADC lol.

He is only picked as an ADC in 1.7% games,that's like every 70 games or something where Yasuo isn't banned you will see a Yasuo ADC. You are more likely to see Kalista, Heimer or Swain ADC than you are seeing Yasuo.

Looking at pick rates on op.gg you are are almost as likely/more likely to see Nunu, Xerath, Naut and Gragas support. Or somebody picking Amumu or Rek'sai even though they are both D tier.

Welfare champ.

Perhaps because no "metapicker" is going to pick him as adc now that the hype has dried up? While normally I'm in the school of "enemy yas is a God, our yas is a windowlicker", I have never supped for a bad yas adc (only supped like, 4 tho). It's all yas mains who play the lane because they know how to give up cs and react to supp aggression.

Lmao, just have support pick Leona Alistar or Braum and destroy him

It is low pick rate (and his ban rate is mainly targeted at his mid and top). Champions with low pick and ban rate tend to have higher winrates than other champions of the same strength. Adc Yasuo is a bit strange because he does have a high ban rate due to his other roles although that shouldn't be applied to his adc stats. Also low sample size leads to volatility in winrates.

Yea, takeing isolated winrates really tells much... He got a 1,7%pickrate, which for one means the samplesize is hardly statistically relevant(not even 2k games played this patch), and even if it was, such a low pickrate bot means that the players useing them are experienced with yas bot, and they are most likely premade with a support that knows how to play that duolane aswell, and since you face him only once every ~60 games, people have hardly any eyperience playing vs him in bot, if you take in various supports, most yasuo+x combos probably are encountered only oce every 100-200 games, people just have no idea how to deal with it.

Him haveing that winrate is not because he's objectively to strong bot, but because he him self and his support mostlikely know quite well how to play the matchup while their opponents are totally cought off guard by it.

I had a ~80% winrate with leona+pant bot in S3, but that doesn't say anything how strong pant really is bot, it just was that me and my bro were a strong duo and well in sync regardless of picks and we kinda perfectionated this particular duo. We knew how to deal with all the standart lanes, but they had no idea how to deal with us. Every once in a while though, we faced some that played the matchup right and it became apparent why pant wasn't a meta botlane.

Yeah guys, 1.7% pickrate are still thousands of people, but I guess they are all just duoing with someone and he is not a disgustingly oppressive champion who can not be dealt with as an ADC :)

(I am not an ADC player.)

Thank god. Imagine if he would drop slightly below 50% in ANY role.
