Am i the only one who bans Yasuo not because he's broken ...

... but because whenever they are on my team they feed hilariously, never group, flame the jungler (me), and attempt to 1v5 because they watched a Yasuo montage previously?

The playerbase for Yasuo, much like Riven, is extremely toxic and most players especially in lower elo like mine are garbage with them.

And because he is in every normal game. And because they spam mastery 24/7 either in your team or in enemy team. And because when i go support they ask me to go ward their zone. And because the seem to be playing an alternate 1v1 game. And because Yasuo, his mechanics, his players and their behaviour give me cancer, in general.

If he's on my team he is always toxic to either my team or the enemy team. And if it's the enemy he binds his mastery emote to his Q or just plain spams his mastery emote all damn game. It seems like the champ design encourages egotistical toxic people to play/main him sort of how Riven and Vayne players are known to be like this but at this point I've seen plenty of nice Vayne/Rivens.. but Yasuo man, nope, every time it seems. I don't even think the champ is really op other than that he's a bit frustrating sometimes.

Banning a champion because of what you think a person might do is pretty stupid. As for myself my perma ban is Khazix a champion that is actually strong at the moment.

Nice circle jerk though.

considering his recent nerfs, there are champions who are just a tier higher then kha at the moment. like quinn. or talon.

It's not like banning a champion like Yasuo will make any assholes trying to play them less of an asshole. They won't magically get better just because you banned the champion they want to play. Banning Yasuo (or other champs for that matter) won't suddenly remove idiots from your team, they'll just be idiots on a different champion.

Not if Yasuo inherently tilts you. IT doesn't matter what team they're on. If they're ahead, you shrug and say, "Eh, they just win because of their bullshit overloaded mechanics and free stats" and if they're behind you go "great, now I have to deal with this 12/0 Talon because some guy picked a champion they thought they could maybe be good at and somehow can't abuse how BS this guys is"

It's a lose-lose situation eitherway.

yay nibbers2 votes

I get what you're saying but if a champion merely existing tilts you then it's not the person playing that champ (or the champ itself) that's the problem...

it kinda comes down to yasuo is super annoying to play with or against i find that a good reason to ban a champion

Considering the sheer number of champions that are OP/dominant at the moment, I can't afford wasting a ban on him.

However, that will likely change once other champions are brought back into line.

Or the teammates who have the nerve to remind him he brought his 0/8 score on himself when he cried and complained for a knockup team, the team didn't trust him and then picked what they were comfortable with, and the dummy tunneled on picking Yasuo anyway as if to prove them wrong and demonstrate that with #Uber1337skillz420bigplays, they'd see him as the outplay god and someone they should have built a team around.

Tunnel vision is serious condition that can be helped. Being a Yasuo player is an inoperable disease that eats away at your comprehension and cognitive ability. It's a shame really.

I ban Yasuo not because I don't know how to deal with him, in fact I really don't mind Yasuo lanes that much. I ban him because I can't trust that my team will know how to deal with him and he requires team coordination to shut down.

Derfel4 votes

I'm so sick of this retarded champion. Every other game I play if I don't ban him there's some weeb with yasuo in their name that picks them. It doesn't matter which team because not only are they usually terrible but yasuo is so anti fun to play against I'd rather just play the 0 agency grindfest that is hearthstone than waste my time beating a yasuo or god forbid not pick the right picks and let the mess of a champion comeback/snowball.

The problem wasn't so bad before the assassin update, but seeing as how Leblanc, Kat and Khazix are now must bans if you don't want someone putting in 10% of the effort you are for 200% the result you're left with 3 bans to either remove some of the other broken as fuck junglers that Riot refuses to properly balance like Graves or Vi or Hecarim or you get to play with or against yasuo, every. single. game.

Thanks for the great player experience season 7 balance team.

i just want bans to be available against the annoying shit i hate to see in the game. banning "the op stuff" feels really bad.

yay nibbers4 votes

I totally understand the frustrations of having to play with douchebag summoners, but punishing everyone who wants to play a champ because some of the people who play that champ are assholes makes you just as bad. Some of us just want to play our favorite champ, we don't flame or feed (usually :P) and are generally not idiots. Instead we get people like you who generalize and assume everyone who plays Yasuo is some tryhard just doing playing him because he saw some montage on YouTube.

Some of us just want to have fun playing our favorite champion and you people make it way harder than it should be. Yes there are idiots who play him, such is the nature of flashy high risk/reward champions, but the rest of us shouldn't have to suffer for their sins.

Like it or nor a lot of yasuo players are complete failures of human beings. They feed, flame, blame other for their mistakes and eventually go AFK. I am not saying that all yasuo players are like that. I am not saying even that half of them are like that. I say that there are a lot of them. However there are tons of players with absolutely garbage attitude and, from my experience, their most common champion of choice is yasuo. And honestly, i do not even care if some of yasuo players are actually nice guys. I do not want this champion in my games. Not in my team, not in enemy team. Just in the list of banned champions.

yay nibbers2 votes

I get that a lot of assholes tend to gravitate toward champions like Yasuo, but banning Yasuo isn't going to make those players any less on your team. All you're doing is pissing off anyone who wanted to play Yasuo. They're still going to be idiots, they'll just be an idiot on some other champion. Banning Yasuo doesn't magically make these people better players, it just makes you personally feel better and that's a stupid way to pick your bans.

SSShutTheDuckUp2 votes

I know and understand this. But old habits die hard. Maybe (and most probably) I am self-convincing, but I definitely feel that I have less fun in a game with yasuo inside

Aptest3 votes

I'm not in the camp of people who think all Yasuo players are trash. But i've seen more cries for help from yasuo one-tricks than from other players. Yasuo players bitch about 2 times more than Pantheon mains. (Riven mains don't generally bitch)

It's like you guys have a checklist of how many times the jungler should be visiting your lane to help you out (100 times or so) and you chafe him 24/7 for not putting up with this kind of bullshit.

On a more serious note its nice that league has some popular and awesome champions. But league of Yasuo gets boring after a while I'd like to see some Oriana here and there if you are ok with it?

Yeah I have 72% winrate on Yasuo and people still ban him from me.In the last 40 or something ranked games I played, 34 have been Kled, 2 Veigar and only 4 Yasuo games, even though I would gladly OTP Yasuo if my team didn't ban him from me because "hurr durr another Yasuo that is going to fed their ass off". It's just retarded.

Do you even know what Weeb refers to? It's used when talking about the Japanese basement living anime fans.... Lee sin was inspired by south asian and some Chinese martial art characters. Even Zed is closer to the so called "weeb" stereotype with his shadow jumping. Same goes for Kata too.

And riven...isn't she fairly western if we chose to ignore how she hops around? I mean, a massive two handed sword instead of a katana. Clothing and armor as well. In my eyes she kinda acts like a knight that's been dishonored.

TheFrostyViking. I think you don't watch anime much if you think Riven isn't anime-like....

TheFrostyViking. I think you don't watch anime much if you think Riven isn't anime-like....

She does share aspects certainly, the jumping around and the ultimate sword wave thing.....however her character and clothing style don't match much. There is also the matter of her actually having a very strong character and iron will while most anime leads are weak willed wusses.....

There are some exceptions to this but i will repeat. Most anime leads are weak willed, indecisive and kinda pitiful guys who are too cowardly to even step forward or keep going when the path is clear, instead their big manly friend or girlfriends gotta tell them to go for one reason or another which i personally think is really sad.

Which is also why i tend to enjoy anime's where the lead is not a wuss or a idiot. Perhaps i've been brainwashed by one piece but i truly enjoy it more when the MC get's real mad and goes into a ice cold fury when someone dares mess and hurt his friends rather than the MC who freaks out and gets a heart attack until the villain finishes talking to himself about how evil he is and a friend of the wuss MC wakes up and says something encouraging before passing out which causes mr wuss to finally man up and do something. There have been so damm many of those.

Oh an the so called evil plotting type is also good, light or lelouch style. They freak out if their plan somehows goes wrong but they often collect themselves as quickly as they can before starting to create a way out which i would consider the strategic type of MC. Not really outright OP or strong but kinda wise or smart instead. Those aren't bad either.

I mean,,,,camilie's E was directly taken from an anime so kinda.... and her ability to just somehow cause a hextech forcefield to just appear while also walking around on a pair of swords for legs is kinda...unusual, certainly not a western theme thing that i am aware of.

I cannot say that i have any idea what little pony is about for i have not watched it, my last shreds of dignity are still alive. As for Camilie's lore fitting as anime one...

It's true i guess? But then again anime itself uses so many concepts and other previous themes so pretty much anything gets used, wise old men, holy maidens and evil warlords and more. Giant robots and powerful artifacts and trinkets along with magic.

The reason i would state that Camilie is closer to Japanese...writing rather than western is because i am not aware of any western using the idea of a girl/woman training herself into a assassin then replacing her entire body with parts of steel powered by some magical piece of technology. I have however seen somewhat close things from the Japanese. Guys who had lost one or more of their limbs or even an eye or two and had them replaced by some high tech replacement that they use to fight. Of course RoboCop is actually very similar to this though so it could be argued that camilie is simply a fantasy version of that.

Until you consider her ability to just ignore most laws of physics while using machinery and her so called hextech field and the E that's taken straight out of attack on titan.

Oh and very sharp blades for legs.

That's old news, they watch Kpop and make skins based of said KPop and a tons of others stuff too. Akali,zed, kennen and Shen would fit right into Naruto for example.

Hell they hosted a youtuber that makes ....kinda parody? stick figure's based of lol champs fighting videos and played one of his videos on a large convention sometime ago. Clearly they are quite diverse in their tastes over there.

Then there is the star guardian skin line....which is also taken right out of a anime.

Then i might add that popstar Ahri's ....clothing was directly copied from some famous korean girls pop band, and Syndra's dance as well.

Ezreal's dance is a direct copy of some anime girls dance too.....the more you know.

Then finally a honorable mention or two on this line is that Nami has a skin that refers to some famous Japanese water spirit /creature (no not the kappa, some other one). And ...Yasuo exists.

I used to always hate Yasuo for him being broken, now that I know he really isn't broken, I hate him for being Yasuo. Playing against him is cancer, playing with him is cancer, and having a Yasuo main on either team may as well warrant me getting chemotherapy.
