Why do people get so salty over Yasuo

Play him for yourself and learn his weaknesses in addition to his strengths

I used to struggle against that champion, but after I learned him and got good, I no longer have a problem with him when I play other champions :D

They aren't complaining because they can't play against him. They're complaining because they don't want to. He's not fun to deal with.

My only real vendetta against him is that wall. When you play champs that don't possess anything that isn't a "projectile", it starts to piss you off after a while. Otherwise the rest is bearable.

Because:

  • High mobility
  • Decent CC
  • 60% crit. rate with just 1 item. His passive also grants him a shield, making him somewhat tanky.
  • A wall which blocks every projectile coming from ANY direction for 3.75 seconds.
  • Low cooldown and game-breaking ultimate.

Yasuo is broken. That's all.

because Yasuo is one of the most annoying things to play against

because he's a whopping zero fun to play against.

Here's the thing about that though.

I'm currently lvl 3 on Yasuo mastery and let me make this clear, I am terrible God aweful garbage at him. He's frankly the farthest thing there is from my play style. And because I'm so bad at him mechanically I mess up basic things, which gets punished instead of his actual weaknesses, meaning after about 20 Yasuo games I still have no clue what most of his weaknesses are.

I get salty because he uses MY minions to abuse me. As if minion block wasn't enough.....

I actually really enjoy playing against Yasuo in lane. I think that he's manageable for the most part.

However, if he's surrounded by teammates who all synergize with his ult, he becomes an absolute pain in the ass to deal with.

I did, and I even maxed Q instead of E, and STILL went 12/2 and carried the heck out of the game. Almost no idea what I was doing, just spam E and it was ridiculously easy. Opponent couldnn't keep up with the bs mobility.

If you say you have no problem facing a yasuo, you haven't faced a good yasuo.

Cuz learning to play the game takes too much effort

I feel like he's one of those champs that, no matter how good you become at outplaying him, he's just gonna be frustrating af to play against. He's just inherently obnoxious with his kit.

I don't wanna play counter picks every game just so I can deal with Yasuo...

Attticus Finch7/31/2016, 10:52:14 PM3 votes

Yasuo isn't an overpowered champion, his kit just makes it so that he essentially turns League into a one-player game.

You can't "outplay" Yasuo, you can only wait for or hope for him to outplay himself.

Vi Malphite passive that gives a shield after a period of time

Yasuo passive that gives him a shield after a period of time (charges by walking) and double crit chance (-10% ad)

I feel as if Yasuo's passive should be split , only giving him the double crit chance. I'm not saying his shield is broken or anything like that. I just hate the fact that after he uses wind wall he still has that shield to fall back on. It makes trading with champions like Ahri fairly difficult (yet not impossible). And yes, I understand I can break the shield with a auto attack, but that normally leads to him dashing into me and unleashing a full combo.

I have played Yasuo, I understand that he isn't the easiest champion. He isn't over-powered, JUST THE MOST PAINFUL CHAMPION TO PLAY AGAINST in my opinion.

I've figured him out a good while ago, but every time I'm against him top lane I swear. His laning is just so soul crushingly aggravating that even when I'm playing a champ with no projectiles he can just keep going and going and going and going to chip me out anyways.

Also that PD bruiser build... asdfafdsafasfgazfdaf

I don't like the sounds he makes… that's it. That slashing, HASAGI, tornado sounds, all of it

I have some time on Yasuo and can say one thing:

A good Yasuo has no excuse to ever have a negative KDA unless he was outright counterpicked by the enemy team. Once you learn how to utilize monsters in the Jungle for your dash, global positioning, and have at least some coordination with your team, all you need is gold to become an absolute monster middle and late game.

I used to main him in s5. Laughed my ass off at your post. He's also another version of Zed

chipndip17/31/2016, 6:20:29 PM2 votes

Making this thread is like when I made the same threads for Zed: When you get bodied by Yasuo, it's just feels so much worse than when you get bodied by someone with a higher chance of bodying your whole team. Hecarim? Ashe? Malzahar? Nah, ban Zed, LB, and Yasuo. The REAL CANCERS! AMIRIGHT OR AREYOUWRONG!?
