yasuo is fine. he doesnt even "counter" anything

to people who are complaining about yasuo and your rank is below diamond. please start playing yasuo and you will witness how weak the champion is and how easy it is to beat the champion. he really is a champion you have to play to know how to destroy

not even yasuo mains with tons of games and mastery can hold a decent winrate. and the champ is a near auto lose if its on your team above diamond 5. and yasuos winrate went way down with triforce nerf.

where exactly are you complaining about for yasuo

toplane yasuo? insanely weak. any toplaner will pop yasuos cherry. faker or bjergsen could pick yasuo into the average plat 3 NA renekton and they would go 0-15 in over half of games

midlane yasuo? so fricken easy since the lane is short. just start with 4 health postions +cloth armor on your choice of mage (for example. syndra. anivia. lux. velkoz. etc)

lasthit only, chill back, start with cloth armor +4 health potions. get a RANDUINS first item. then rod of ages. liandry. voidstaff. and watch how yasuo becomes useless compared to your power. yasuo dies in 1-2 seconds every teamfight while your build deals decent damage to their frontline from half a screen away (with the burn + magic penetration) while yasuo himself is useless. and this build makes you tanky as hell too so if enemies focus you you can normally get out and blast out spells. you dont even need to try to land spells on their protected ADC , you can simply use your spells on their frontline and do totally decent levels of damage with your 2 tankbusting items. you reach your tankbusting items the moment the enemy tanks start to become tanky

yasuo is complete a free loss against any team that knows a little about the champion

See MAGES scale off something called ABILITY POWER. NOT ATTACK DAMAGE.

They're also NOT supposed to get tanky. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

It's not about him being strong, it's about his early game being ridiculously oppressive. He's supposed to be a late game carry, his weakness should be early game.

I agree that Yasou isn't all that strong early game and hell his damage isn't all that either until he gets his shiv but I must admit that a good Yasou player abuses his mobility a little too much if anything. I also wouldn't say Yasou gets destroyed by a lot of mid laners because his wall and his shield allow him to lane and go toe to toe with a lot of mid laners. The problem arises with him with skill level (like azir or ryze) and Yasou can be pretty oppressive when played correctly.

I AM NOT DEFENDING NOR ATTACKING THIS CHAMPION. I hate Yasou, Zed and volibear with a passion but I like to stay neutral. Yasou is just too safe early as a hyper carry and tbh he should have more risks to his kit (look at mordekaiser, great scaling but suffers a lot in the early game from ganks and range) as a hyper carry he should be more vulnerable to ganks than what he currently is but then again that would probably make him UP. That champ is just weird

Who cares if he's op or not he's edgy weeb bait trash with bad design.

Rework or delete asap.

Starting cloth armor is the worst advice I have ever heard. So many mages will run oom after the first few waves without the regen. Meanwhile, if you play passive and avoid using your spells, Yasuo will tread all over you since he's manaless. You'd need to use spells to retaliate and then guess what, you're oom because you went cloth armor and barely did damage to him because of his shield.

You use spells to last hit?

If you get shoved under tower would you not use your spells to salvage as many minions as you can?

Still does not explain the 48% winrate/11% playrate/18% banrate he has.

i remember when i played nidalee mid (in season 4 before the jungle fiasco) i could EASILY best 90% of the yausos i played.

but the 10% of yasuo knew how to use the knockup on thier dash... i had 100% loss rate vs them.

yasuo wasn't even an ISSUE at lower elos becuase people dont even know how to play him properly.

people in my elo just throw their easily avoidable tornado out instead of dashing in for the knockup for an easy kill.

that was season 4 though.. maybe yasuos at lower elos actually know how to use the knockup on thier dash properly now. in which case they would be almost impossible to beat for most champions.

a bad yasuo is easy to beat... a good yasuo is near impossible

A good yasuo doesn't need to use the dash tornado to knock you up. Good yasuos have enough patience to poke you down while farming up.
