Yasuo skins, and what they tell about their players

Hi everyone, continuation of what I started this morning. Check out my Draven one here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/XKiI2khW-draven-skins-and-what-they-tell-about-the-players

Normal Yasuo Skin Very determined yasuo player, but as per all normal skins this Yasuo could go either of two ways. 1: Take very care to knowing when it is Yasuo free week, because if it is you could have a weeaboo who simply wants to hear the screams of HASAGI and ASEIYRO over and over, and not put too much effort into learning the champion or winning the game. If you see a normal skinned yasuo in Ranked then you probably have a- 2: Expert Yasuo player. This Yasuo knows the mechanics of Yasuo, knows the defences and the strengths, and knows how to dash and wall. This yasuo will be great at blinking into the displaced squishies and explode on them, while being able to dash out freely. Although there were many Yasuo nerfs, this yasuo will play him regardless, and will easily be upset with you if you do not choose your champions to his liking, or play in a way that doesn't favor him. Because if you play in his favor, then it is likely that you will play in the favor of your team and win. It's a Yasuo. Let's be real.

High Noon Yasuo The expectations are HIGH for a high noon yasuo. This Yasuo will perform well, but will be extremely cocky. Gank his lane and get him fed and he will carry the game to victory, but if you don't he will throw hell and fury at you for 'throwing' the game. Known to spam the flute song whenever he tries to mock his opponent, and if a gank occurs while he is doing this and he dies, he will likely all chat and say. "BM, just trying to play music" or something along those lines. If this happens, it is likely he will immediately follow with an attack on the jungler asking why there is no support in his lane.

PROJECT: Yasuo Don't expect much from a Project Yasuo. Ever. Project Yasuo is not a good Yasuo, and is simply playing him for the 'かっこいい~~~Japanese Champion~~~' that he is. Expect many failed ults when you attempt to synergize with a Braum or a Wukong, leading to your death. Although it is not a guarentee loss when you have this Yasuo on your team, the chances of your victory are very low. You will need to carry this Yasuo, as he will likely rush BotRK after Static Shiv, and run IE as a late game item. The windwalls will be half a second too late, and while he could have prevented that Ezreal ult from reaching Dragon, lo and behold the enemy team has stolen it from 5000 units away.

Thanks, and provide feedback if I should do more of these :P, they are fun to write

This are fun and funny to read but I feel sad when I come across the skin I own and it says bad things :( I know these are for jokes but still.

Like this kind of stuff. Perhaps a Blitzcrank or aDarius one, maybe? I think there is a thing with Blitzcrank players and how they play on each skin. I'd appreciate it c:

These are so accurate that it can't even be called biased or unfair.

I was AP Lulu Mid against a Project Yasuo, he kept spamming wind wall to block a single auto attack while I went around the wall and actually used my abilities on him. He hit one of his tornadoes that game and only blocked one of my abilities.

I have PROJECT because I got it in a mystery skin. I cannot play Yasuo to save my life and I played him once with it in ARAM and felt embarrassed using it lol.

I have a feeling you dont play much yasuo, considering an early bork before before ie isnt even bad lol

Part of the reason I don't use Project Yasuo is because I know that only noob Yasuo players use it lel. It sucks because it's a very clear homage to Metal Gear Rising, one of my favorite games. (My name is an homage to a character from the game) Oh well, I'll just stick to High Noon and carry games :) I don't flame my team (I can win lane on my own) or spam flute song though. I usually spam laugh and joke :P

This is so accurate. You can tell a High Noon Yasuo player probably actually plays Yas a decent amount just because they actively chose the skin that isn't the most flashy one. As long as they're not having an off day or aren't in a really bad matchup, you can expect them to do well.

Project Yas tho, yeesh. The person using that MAY be amazing at Yas but there's also a good chance they've only played him in two games but want to look cool.

Damn, I own both skins. Guess that's why i was Silver last season lol

Personally, I agree with all of this, Project Yasuo is my most hated skin, all these facts are interesting, like the High noon one, Im always cocky when I use this skin, and I Personally like it better overall, well because of the Fedora, and the Classic skin suits my playstyle, As a Yasuo main I like this.

It may just be coincidence, but there is some slight truth to this post in my experience.

I happen to have quite possibly one of the top 200-250 Yasuo players in NA on my friends list and I can confirm that he uses the High Noon Yasuo skin when he plays him.

He doesn't like the Project: Yasuo skin due to the feel of it. He says it feels wonky at times and that High Noon feels more fluid/smooth with it's animations.

Spooky.

As a Yasuo Main, i agree with this. I honestly just don't like the feel of playing PROJECT, while High Noon and Blood Moon's animations feel clean. I like blood moon, but i play High Noon more than any skin, and i DO spam the flute whenever i'm ahead in lane. Pretty accurate.. huh..

I bought PROJET: Yasuo because it references Tron, one of my favorite movies of all time. And while I'm no Faker, I feel like I know my way around Yasuo. c:

From experience I can say this is pretty accurate, probably except the fact that I don't remember meeting a cocky High Noon Yasuo. But yeah he usually does great.

Can you do one for Riven please?
