I understand the Yasuo QQ and don't understand it

DJ Lucio··3 votes·807 views

Yes, I play Yasuo on occasion. Only mastery 4 on him, since i don't play him too much but he's fun to play.

Now about how his playstyle can be very toxic.

Me, being a Gnar in top lane, it's very frustrating to fight against a Yas, he can E out of my Q, block it, and have extremely mobility and rape me early game since I don't get a major powerspike until I get my Mallet. He is frustrating to play against.

How is he overloaded? I wouldn't say he's exactly completely unhealthy, but he's very strong. From my experience, I've seen Yasuos go 1-5 early game, then pick up 100% crit and iE, with some type of Lifesteal and start carrying. I see him as a Nasus, i can rape him early game and he'll just comeback harder and stronger, but that isn't a guarantee. Games can early, Yas can't get his required items, etc.

From this being said, he's not exactly "OP", but he's in a relatively good spot but in the hands of a mastery, it's extremely frustrating.

Yasuo is healthy where he is.

Now, he has a lot, and I mean a lot of tools, offensive and defensive, that overload his kit. But the main problem is his mobility. Sure, he has a cooldown per target used on, but he usually gets more than enough dashes to run on with that alone.

Most tanks and juggernauts don't have too much of a problem with him because they can win against him in melee trades most of the time unless he dives in, stabs and soaks up their damage with his shield before diving out.

Now, if you aren't playing a tank or juggernaut (which is almost all the time mid), you're going to have a bad time because he can outduel assassins and zone mages with his mobility.

Sure, you can hit him with a hefty dose of CC when he slides in, but even if he doesn't block it with his windwall, it doesn't last forever (unless you're Morgana) and he can still harass you when it wears off, usually coming out on top in trades.

So, yeah, while he has Hard CC, a shield, double crit chance, armor penetration, all that good stuff, it's his dash that causes the most problems (aside from constant screaming, of course, the "Hasagi" really gets on your nerves after a while). That's why most people don't like Yasuo.

Never fight yasuo before lvl 4 unless u get free harass. He will kill you very early game. Personally i dont think hes broken but is relatively rough to lane against and completely wreck unless u have a better pick against him. My favorite is to play lee into him and rush randuins into a little offence. Armour is cheap as fuck to buy compared to his items.

Not sure why somebody downvoted you but Yasuo while is not OP but he is definitely very strong and most cancerous champ in LOL.
