I couldn't play Yi to save my life.

Haven't Riven'd in years, probably a similar situation.

I don't understand the people who say they can't play Yi. His skillcap is underrated but he seriously is beginner friendly pick up and play, straightforward click-to-kill and one of the healthiest jungle clears. And I play Yi a lot.

He requires knowledge of when to go in and when to wait to clean up/splitpush if you're up against a team that knows how to teamfight. Basically general game knowledge that is even more important on Yi because of his squishyness and his DPS reliance.

I could probably play Tank Yi but full Assassin Yi is something I can't play (same way I can't play Katarina), because I lack the knowledge and am annoyed by the playstyle even when I can do well.

^^^^^Fucking this.

The only people who think Yi is "pick up and play" are Silvers who got to their rank on mechanics alone.

This is also why having a Yi on your team is such a gamble sub-Gold. He either gonna wipe the floor or feed like a madman.

Theiki Kayle2 votes

I'm Silver and I ban Yi sometimes, simply to avoid my team picking him as much as the enemy team.

I don't WANT my team to pick Yi, he has nothing to offer to a team unless every lane is tanky and has hard CC to compensate for his uselessness in ANYTHING except damage.

Don't worry bro, I was the guy back in Season 3 who tried building Riven with 4 Bloodthirsters before the shield was a thing and just trying to click people to death because ability combos are hard. It worked... sometimes... I don't wanna talk about it.

Hi there :)

Just because you find something unfunny doesn't mean that others don't enjoy it :)

A joke can be whatever you want it to be :)

Everyone has different standards for humor :)

So please take your salty ass elsewhere :)

It´s like a joke within a joke, the person who posted this knows yi, riven and Yasuo are pretty difficult but many low elo players Think they´re easy.

Ralanr2 votes

Yi isn't that difficult.

Can he be played at a high skill level? Yes. But he's not hard.

Wow, I play ARAM and I'm unranked! Gee that must be everything about me! Oh how I've been dashed by your wise observation!

Fondling Gems15 votes

Yasuo has a high skill cap. He just also has a low skill floor so anyone can pick him up and have a 50/50 chance of feeding or snowballing out of control.

Humans being humans remember the 50% that snowball rather than the 50% that don't.

I admit he has a high skill cap. I don't like it, but I admit it...

Unless they are stomping me. Then I perform sacrificial rituals to curse the player. Possibly while cursing out the player for playing a no skill champ.

You know #YasHateThings

nami tf1 votes

I see Yasuo as a plat champion (meaning you have to be at around a plat level to do well in at least 75% of games). I dunno if I'm right though.

QjTHqo3RTq2 votes

You're not tbh, have two bronze friends who main yasuo, and honestly, I need to counterpick the yas just so i dont get slaughtered

nami tf3 votes

Or you can play safe?

It works whenever I get pitted against a Yasuo most of the time.

QjTHqo3RTq3 votes

Yeah play safe, because its super easy to play against yasuo, and you don't have to worry about him out scaling you. Just poke him down because he's a melee champion with no way to negate poke potential.

Fondling Gems9 votes

He is kinda like Vayne. Realistically they both need a good deal of skill to do well on, however they both succeed when being played vs people who don't know how to deal with them. So the champs are very strong among people with low skill levels and people with high skill levels who can abuse their kits to outplay their opponents, but they don't do as well in the middle of the pact where people know how to deal with them but the Yasuo players aren't mechanically strong enough to outplay their opponents as consistently as higher tier players.

The amount of games I've played with him has nothing to do with my point. My point is that he's a scarecrow, get it?

I think Yasuo and Riven are on the mid-higher end in terms of their skill cap.

Easily these champions are on the lower-end: Malphite Heimerdinger Tryndamere Warwick

Arakadia1 votes

Heimer takes alot more skill then people think.

Swiftstrike45 votes

{quoted}

Heimer takes alot more skill then people think.

I should probably rephrase. I think Heimer takes skill to play, BUT I think he is a bad champion to try to learn how to play when one is first learning the game. He is very simple to play, does not need to learn how to last hit, and the turrets protect him from over extension.

One of my buddies plays Heimer a lot and he still does not know how to last hit well on other champions after playing the game for 8 months. He also has no idea when to engage or disengage, in fights nor does he understand how he frequently over extends.

Him learning how to play the game through heimer probably led to him forming several bad habits due to Heimer's style of play.

The last game I played with him a couple months back, he went top with Heimer and said he was destroying a Brand. He was shoving the brand under tower and harassing him. Had a zz rot and banner of command so the tower was going down.

Mid way into the game Brand shows up to a team fight and gets a quadra kill. I then look at the Brands items and score line. The Brand had a lot more CS than my friend (150 to my friend's 90), had not died, and was up on items compared to the team. Brand remained incredibly dangerous the remainder of the game.

My friend did not understand how the Brand was so strong and killed everyone. He was quite baffled by how strong he was and I had to explain to him that he simply has more gold than the average player in this game. I told him that yes, you harassed him and took his tower but you still "lost lane" by not killing him and not out farming him.

It was almost I spoke another language, my friend was shocked by the Brand's strength. I believe we won that game after struggling in the mid-game, but we won because we simply focused on Brand every fight.

My friend has probably improved since then, but he doesn't play normals much and just plays ARAMs. I think he may have gotten discouraged because he still lacked basic mechanics to play normals.

Only Play Darius3 votes

I had a similar situation when I was new to the game. From the moment I unlocked smite I only played jg for months and it took me a very long time to learn how to last hit and how to trade with champions in lane.

I don't completely agree with this, but there is a video where boxbox is playing riven without a keyboard and gets a quad... So I can't discredit the no hands (or should I say fingers) thing that time...

While I absolutely HATE playing against yasuo or riven, I don't think it's fair to say that they stupid/bad or that their champs are easy to play. While Riven has mostly a high mechanical skill cap (cancelling cast times), Yasuo needs good positioning and micro management to stay mobile. I've tried both champions, but I'm terrible with them as they're too hard for me in the micro level. I prefer my low mechanical skill type of champs like wukong and malphite.

The Ecdysiast2 votes

^This guy gets it.

If OP wants to beat Yas or Riven, he just needs to pick low mechanical champs. Juggernauts are gold if you want to beat any low-level Yasuo player.

As for Yi.... Beg your whole team to pick stuns.

Just checked your match history just cause... I was curious as to what you consider skill. Zed, that's fair a very skillful champ, but nice Riven game there 5/14 :P
