Darius isn't nearly the stat bomb that Yasuo is. Yasuo gains so many more free stats than Darius' extra AD after stacking 5 strikes of anything. Again, it's not about beating him, it's the sheer quantity of things in his kit. His win rate could be at 15%. His kit isn't any less overloaded. Apdo/Dopa (and please don't try and be like those edgy kids who have to try and diss critically acclaimed pro players) himself stated that Yasuo is horribly broken with his kit, the only thing holding him back is cockiness when you're ahead in that people get too aggressive and too full of themselves. The direct, translated quote (He's Korean after all, this happened on stream) is this:
"Bullshit aside Yasuo is a broken champion. People say he's a high skillcap champion, but the secret with Yasuo is knowing how to control yourself while playing such a overpowered champion. Yasuo's weakness comes from the fact that he is too strong. His laning phase is so strong that after the laning phase people do not know how to keep calm and throw the game."

It's towards the middle of the many things he said during this particular stream, just Ctrl + F "Yasuo".
His damage isn't the problem. His tankiness isn't the problem. Not the mobility, not the damage mitigation, not the build path. Not the way he scales almost purely off attack speed. Not the zone. Not his amazing synergy with any champion with a knock up (With some being very generous, such as Thresh's hook) It's all that combined into one perfect kit.
I personally don't have a problem with Yasuo. I play Zed. Even with exhaust, it's often a hilariously easy lane for me. I am not usually affected by Yasuo, but I can recognize his overloaded kit. Even if I usually beat him, I still recognize that his kit just offers too much in too many departments. He's sort of like a jack of all trades, master of most.
a couple patches ago then I would definitely understand but his playrate is 6.91% in top lane. That is not even in the top 10 most played. I know I will still probably get downvoted to the depths of the void but the facts show that he is not that impressive. Can we maybe start learning to play against him instead of whining on the boards for a unreasonable nerf?
usually have wonderful winrates. Yasuo has been the victim of hate because people don't want to learn to play against him and they rather complain on the forums about an overloaded kit that, might I add, can easily be calculated and figured out with a little bit of time. The amount of time people take to complain about Yasuo rather than learn to play against him is saddening.
