Is Yasou really underpowered? (Just wondering, not hate)

ModAcademy Kayn··6 votes·762 views

People say that Yasou is underpowered, but I'm not seeing it. He has an unlimited dash, x2 crit modifier, a shield, a projectile wall, and a blink with a displacement. That all sounds great in theory, so I don't understand how people say he is weak.

He's INCREDIBLY item dependent because in the patches after release they make his base stats pretty bad at all points in the game to balance around him having a free shield, spammy dash, the easiest 100% crit rate, and a decently wide projectile blocker.

I guess that's what passes as weak now.

He was, before the mreg nerfs. Now that 90% of mages have worse early laning phases than him, he can easily wreck everyone when he goes mid.

how to counter yasuo: step 1: go to league of legends store step 2: purchase akali step 3: get matched up against a yasuo in mid step 4: profit

He also has:

472 base health.

He gets destroyed by any champs with a strong early game. He was overpowered but now he gets destroyed in the laning phase.

yeah he actually is underpowered.

his shield isnt that great, got huge nerfs in the past. his "infinite" dashes arent really infinite, needs something to dash on. not to mention, if he enemy champ, he is most likely eating tons of minion dmg. he is hugely item dependent. doesnt really have a harass. (sorry if u cant dodge his 3rd Q and you count that has harass)

and he is very squishy atm. also, once he goes in, he's pretty much committed.

his second item is way too expensive tbh and his base stats is quite bad

He's got very low HP and no built in sustain (Except from his shield). It's difficult to lane against pokey mages mid.
