If a Yasuo main plays a mana intensive champion with no more than one gap closer

How long would it take for them to be pushed out of lane/killed? How much cs would they miss?

How much CS will he miss? None of it, well until his spells are on cooldown, or he goes oom, or he gets poked, or he discovers that some champions have skillshots that CAN BE BLOCKED BY MINION WTF HAX THIS CHAMP SUCKS

What is with all these Yasuo mains getting downvoted for saying they're just Yasuo mains. The boards are filled with savage-brainless-assholes.

Look at my match history. The lux games

Easiest games of my life :)

Maybe its because I'm not bad at this game?

Dad RockNov 27, 20152 votes

Only people I see complaining about Yasuo in these boards are gold, silver, and unranked players. You're lvl 7 but I bet you're gold on your main account. What is it about getting to gold that makes people think they're good enough to decide how to balance champions? You realize it's still bad, right?

I'd like to point out that this guy mains Yasuo and is just defending his main... Though I didn't really say much about your main so don't know why you got so defensive...

Dad RockNov 27, 20152 votes

Except you'll see that I play Gnar and Rumble more than Yasuo?

NetroqNov 27, 20158 votes

Actually you played Yasuo all season 4 and barely played Gnar and Rumble... You only resorted to Gnar and Rumble in season 5 because Yasuo was getting banned so hard

BemaponNov 27, 201510 votes

Dont forget, Gnar and Rumble both also dont use mana

Dad RockNov 27, 20151 votes

Remember that yasuo was his fucking weakest in season 5 you fucking idiot, they nerfed him constantly, he only became strong at the very end of season 5, the god damn preseason period he was strong because of warlord's bloodlust buff. And what does season 4 have to do with it when season 5 was the whole last year?!

My God, why is this such a touchy subject?

KeevalroyNov 27, 20153 votes

It's just Yasuo's fanbase becoming exasperated and scared now that their cancerous little monster could finally be the next one on the chopping block. They don't know how to accept that he has a poor design or the fact that he's too strong on top of being outrageously frustrating so they resort to "HUR HUR HUR U BAD IDIOT GIT GUD SCRUB LRN 2 PLAY" in an attempt to explain why we're wrong...personally I almost want Riot to dangle this possible nerf above their heads a little while longer so I can watch them squirm a bit more.

I don't remember the last time I thanked the balance team for anything, but I feel a sense of justice coming the more Rioters mention his name. It fills me with determination.

That's actually an incredibly stupid rant. It's incredulous to me just the amount that low Diamond players are up their own asses.

Yasuo was strong throughout season 5 if they were constantly nerfing him - herp derp, that's how nerfing works on popular champions. Now, if it was, say, Syndra who hit 50% winrates for maybe a week before getting curb-stomped and immediately falling out of favor at the bloody beginning of the season before taking the next 10+ updates to finally fix the torrent of bugs they introduced to her, then I'd be inclined to believe your rant. But Yasuo's like Lee Sin - no matter how harsh Riot's nerfs seem, it's only ever going to be enough to make sure he's not completely dominating the highest tiers of play. But oh, is he ever viable. For fucking ever.

Or are you going to justify the Thornmail and armor nerfs that made Yasuo jump from very much viable to one of the most toxic champs in the game? Do you really have a justifiable reason for it? Even if he was weak during Season 5, he's fucking strong now - this game's past has absolutely zero meaning or effect on what's presently happening. Deathfire Grasp? OP? Not OP? Does it fucking matter when it's no longer here?

Yasuo could possibly have been maybe was (really wasn't) weak before. He is stupid strong now. Of course, people like you who enjoy their freelo will fight to the end of time to ensure their free ticket doesn't see the same mediocrity that others' have to.

Bahahaha... "nerfed constantly"... just fucking hysterical that even if he had been he never saw the nerf sledge - just the mallet.

Plat 5 is basically gold.

For CarthageNov 27, 20152 votes

And Diamond 3 is basically DoTA2 when it comes to player attitude. Good job being the steaming sewage of the community.

Lmao you realize Gnar's laning phase is only slightly less cancerous than Yasuo right?

His kit is just as overloaded to hell and he has just as many ways to nullify his weaknesses

Dad RockNov 27, 20151 votes

Spoken like a true bronze 3.

IcyPepperNov 27, 20156 votes

Actually I saw plat players talking about him too... >.> and they weren't compliments either

AnidanNov 27, 201511 votes

I've seen all elos complaining about him.

It's like he might be a problem or something.

CanidaeNov 27, 20153 votes

Look at dis player's posts and ctrl + F "gold"

You'd think all the ranked divisions were at war or something, geez...

Why is it that you pop up on every thread just to search people's ranks up? You should go outside more, socialize, sleep, eat, shower all day, do something with your life.

They'd probably still spam q and run oom within seconds.

Sir RougeNov 27, 20152 votes

IMO, we should just make Yasuo gain flow on Q hit, lose x% of flow on windwall and lose a flat amount of flow on his dash. Basically, it would make him have tradeoffs between immense mobility and a refreshing shield.

If that doesn't balance him, I would just make him gain 150% the value of crit instead of 200%, at least as long as the new items are in place. Basically, he would have 45% crit instead of 60% crit with the current shiv for example.

AuryielNov 27, 20154 votes

So basically he'd never have a shield.... Or if he does you can AA him and make him lose all his mobility

LOL

Sir RougeNov 27, 20152 votes

He could still dash if he has no flow, he just wont gain flow with it. And yes, his shield could be up even more if he lands his q's and dashes less.

Spicy RiceNov 27, 20152 votes

I mained veig, kassadin, and malxahar a long time before i mained yasuo.

You are just butthurt that you don't understand how to play against someone who counters you as an immobile mage

JigglypuffinessNov 27, 20152 votes

I'd like to point out that OP is a FILTHY Swain main who makes up excuses about mana intensiveness and lack of mobility so he can feel better about abusing his freelo... He wins lane against Yasuo so he has no reason to complain... The freelo abuser probably just wants an even easier lane...

God damn the Yasuo hate is real.

BattleOxeNov 26, 20151 votes

Depends. Not everyone is the same. Not everyone mains yasuo since forever

Well Yasuo is one of my favorite champs, and I do pretty damn well on mages too :o, just have to not suck.

Actually, I'm a wukong and yasuo main, lol. Yes, wukong is very mana hungry toplane and has one gapcloser. I'm still fine with him though, :p

Spizzle9000Nov 27, 20151 votes

It really depends on whether or not you only play Yasuo. I don't want to get downvoted to hell, but honestly, I used to play Yasuo a pretty good amount in s5. A few weeks ago I started playing Lissandra cause she seemed fun, plus she counters Yasuo pretty damn hard.

Honestly, I didn't get pushed out of lane or killed or miss much CS. I suppose that's because I play more than just Yasuo (I go in short bursts of playing one champion a ton generally for about a week or two but Yasuo, Zed, and Vladimir are my most frequents).

I suppose if you only play Yasuo, you'll probably blow. If you aren't braindead and use more than 3 champions, you'll be fine.

I Took great pleasure in downvoting this thread. Happy Thanksgiving Op!

The0neBarWarriorNov 27, 20151 votes

I play Yasuo (wouldn't be considered a "main though") and seem to do just fine playing Malzahar. I'd say he's pretty mana intensive till catalyst.

PsyturkeyNov 27, 20151 votes

I consider myself a Yasuo main, but honestly I do better when I play mages. I can snowball just as hard and it's much more difficult to shut me down. I only main Yasuo because I find hi to be more fun.

WolfenstinNov 27, 20151 votes

I've always wanted to try Yasuo, he looks fun, but incredibly annoying at the same time. Still hate his guts, and some of the players who play him, but as a champion, he looks fun.
