In recent weeks, meaning since Yasuo's release, we have been taking people's abuse and hate toward our favorite wanderer. But I'm here to tell you don't let it get you down!

Why?

Because you hasaki to success!

They don't want you to windwall, they don't want you to dash!

But you smart, you loyal, you grateful, I appreciate that!

Just remember everytime you kill someone, it's another one!

And to all of the players who hate Yasuo because they couldn't outplay him, Congratulations, you played yourself.

So remember, you da best!

He has the highest winrate in the game (according to Lolking) in any case, it's time to accept the fact that he does actually need a nerf.

No, not really. He is easily countered. easily cced, and so many champions do more damage and are far more toxic when played.

No he doesn't have the highest winrate in the game? Or no, he doesn't need a nerf?

Look, if Poppy was really broken to the point that she carried over half the games she's put in, I'd accept (maybe reluctantly) that my main needed a nerf. Try to be the same way with Yasuo.

Riot Games has finally realized that Yasuo's unfortunately the most powerful midlaner in the game. He isn't easily cc'ed with most cases because his extreme mobility allows him to dash out before, say, Veigar's E appears. And he does loads of damage, especially with his double-crit passive that means he only needs an Infinity Edge and Stattik Shiv to have 100% of all his basic attacks dealing ridiculous levels of damage. Maybe there's a good deal of counters, so if he's such a potent anti-mage I'd most certainly lose if I played Brand or Xerath against him and It's still very difficult to beat him if I played an Assassin like Zed or a mobile mage like Ahri. The few counters he does have are tanky midlaners like Nautlius, Cho'gath, and Galio who are hardly ever played thanks to their lack of popularity.

And the players that are toxic always pick the most overpowered champions so they win all the time. You should be glad they're nerfing Yasuo because those leeches are going to abandon ship with Yas now that he's going to be a more balanced champion.

I'm an ex Zed main and incoming Yasuo main 60k+ mastery, I don't know how to deal with the Yasuo nerf. I get the tank Yas was getting out of hand and with the bug but idk how he'll perform now :(. Hasaki

He is getting a nerf unjustly. just keep building triforce into pd into frozen mallet, then ie, bloodthirster, then a situational item like mortal reminder.
