Because it would end your circle jerk, we know.

No, if you want to get technical about it, people despise Yasuo because of his limitless mobility. Zed has to wait for Living Shadow to come off cooldown if he wants to get in your face and, when it does, he has to weigh the risk of all-in because he used his mobility to get in and it's risky getting out. Same goes for Talon and numerous other assassins. But Yasuo dashes in with no cooldown, repeatedly stabs and slashes, then dashes out when things go sour (and thanks to his slew of defensive tools, they never really do). Thus, midlane mages really hate Yasuo.

But as a top lane tank main, I have no real problem with his mobility unless I picked Gangplank. The only thing that's annoying to me is how much he screams. Really, all the ton!, aseryo!, and Face the wind! gets on your nerves after a bit. Just do what you did with Caitlyn, Riot!

If you want to get technical, you came to the memes and games section of the threads and are trying to tell me why you hate Yasuo, instead just enjoying the joke. That is why, you sir, are part of the Yasuo circle jerk.

As for his mobility, there is a stun for that. Nearly all mid/top laners have hardcore cc. If you can't use it, that is you. His dashing does near no damage and can't be used well unless you are stupid enough to try to 1v1 him as he is a slayer or better yet try to 1v1 a slayer with a bunch of minions around you. As for mages hating Yasuo, who by the way are far more broken than Yasuo, poke his shield with an auto attack, keep poking him with autos until he is low, then stun and kill. Like if you have trouble with that, that is your lack of skill, not Yasuo.

Most mid laners are much more mobile. Leblanc turns invisible and teleports, Ahri gets huge dash's requiring no minions. They have a range advantage. They do much more damage then Yasuo early-mid game. If you can't take advantage of any of that, that is you not Yasuo. Yasuo's kit is fine, his build is fine, and nothing about him is broken.

Someday people should realize that there is a reason why nobody likes Yasuo, and rather than complaining about the problem, they should work on a solution.

The issue with that is Yasuo isn't broken, there is no problem. His win rate is 48%. He is like the 20th best mid laner and 30 toplaner.

His problem isn't balance. Or, well, in his case statistics can be misleading because he is so reliant on his players/the enemies skill level. There is a reason some people ban him even if someone on their team wants to play him. If you screw up, you screw up big time. If you get ahead, you're likely unstoppable. Additionally, he is extremely frustrating to play against, because of mobility, windwall, dps and the ability to burst squishies.

That isn't a fair argument. I mean many champions are frustrating, but can we just nerf them for being that? no. Tryns ult is crazy annoying, so is Kats. So many are, but Yasuo is just targeted because people need someone to hate.

One question: Did I ever say nerf?

What Yasuo needs is a gameplay overhaul, because his current kit is toxic in it's core. You either stomp, or get stomped. That's not a good champion design. And whether he stomps or not, he still is at least annoying to deal with.

That will never happen. People love playing Yasuo for one thing. Another thing, just because you don't like playing against someone doesn't mean they need or will get reworked. at a 48% he is doing fine. Either play a counter if you find him so annoying or don't cry when you get killed by his as a adc or someone squishy. He is meant to kill them.

Come to think of it, he's actually right. Yasuo isn't broken, he's overloaded and cannot be properly balanced until his kit receives some major changes.

It's like Azir or Kalista but less LCS because the pros know how to counterplay windbag.
