Awesome, hopefully all the people that bitch and moan about him without end play a few games with him and learn what his strengths and weaknesses actually are, and learn that he's not nearly as broken as they pretend. Not that that will actually happen, but one can always dream.

I still think he's too strong, and I got him on mastery 3 or 4 (so that's a few games).

A 0/6/2 Yasuo shouldn't be nearly oneshotting the 12/3/5 midlaner with Zhonyas 30 minutes into the game.

k/d/a doesn't really mean much in terms of power. yasuo tends to have a lot of farm, which is usually a much bigger portion of your gold than kills.

He had 60cs

In another universe, his laning phase would be balanced.... Another universe...

Yasuo may be obnoxious as hell to play against, but I don't believe he is overpowered at all. He has clear boundaries and is easily shut down by a few counters.

any champs with over 50% ban rate is problematic in some ways in my books. For Yasuo, its only his dash, in combination with the shield, low cooldown in laning phase.

Eh where do you get your statistics?

FragglerocJan 5, 20171 votes

it's common sense... majority don't want them played = there's a reason.

If Darius/Riven/Yasuo/Camille were simultaneously banned in a game, do u know how many champ options it opens up for me at top? I had to plan for them in every champ pick... even if i can hold them in lane with much effort, they may wreck my teammates (who r usually unprepared to deal with them in my elo). Better to ban because it's not worth that risk.

No, where are your statistics? It's always around 50% I see. That's very different from 70% or camille's close to 80%.

People don't want yasuo played mostly for the following reasons:
