All The Yasuo Hate on The Boards Will Accomplish Nothing

So there has been a trend of hating on Yasuo players/champion design/overpoweredness/everything on the boards recently. Here's one example: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/PpAejolU-a-message-to-every-yasuo-player-sincerely-a-casual-league-player

There's just so many things that are wrong about this.

First off the degradation of Yasuo players that has simularities to witchhunting. Sure, Yasuo may be annoying and a bit overpowered right now, but that is not the player's fault. He just wants to have fun playing Yasuo and appearantly that makes him an asshole and a terrible human being. Also, some things mentioned there are just not true. Not "every Yasuo player" spams mastery taunts ( what's wrong with that anyway ), is overconfident and starts 1v5s, and claims that Yasuo is super underpowered. Sure there are some but that is not caused by playing Yasuo, Urgot and Yasuo mains alike can be assholes.

Next off it's the fact that he and other Yasuo haters complain about him being OP without actually doing anything against it. What are you guys gonna reach with those posts except being angry on the Internet about a character in a video game? If you want it to change, try to talk in a more reasonable and civilized tone, give actual suggestions on how to make him balanced, do some research and give valid arguments to show that you are serious and hope that someone from the balance team sees it and thinks about it. Just like this guy did: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/Xd2GopFL-how-to-fix-current-yasuo-6000-yasuo-games-diamond-2

This has been a trend for longer that some people might think, we had Tank Ekko, Vayne, Riven and a lot of other champions that made people get angry. In the case of Ekko for example 90% of the threads talking about him didn't reach anything but creating unnecessary spirales of hate. But there was that one guy who made the suggestion of making Ekko's utility scale with AP instead of it having high base values, he did it in a civilised way, got upvoted, a Riot employee ( Meddler I think ) saw it and guess what happened a few weeks or so later. Now Ekkos is in a pretty good spot.

Tl;DR: Don't be angry on the Internet, it won't change anything.

Did you just compare ppl complaining about yasuo... who RIOT considers op to the point hes being nerfed in the assassin update and that they reworked MAlz soley to counter him... to murderers, who hunted down and tortured random innocent pp? For no reasons and no grounds? God you're stupid.

He's comparing ppl saying yasuo's op, to ppl murdering random other ppl, becuse they think that person might be a witch, he's comparing yasuo players to a poor innocent people, who were murdered on suspicion of being a witch, and people who say yas's is op, to the murderers.

No, I mean when you said that Riot is going to nerf him in the assassin update, because if I remember right, Riot considers Yasuo as a skirmisher/diver, and will look at him when they get to that class update. And they reworked Malz to counter him? What?

Skirmisher/diver? thats not a class, the classes are tank, mage, marksmen, support, jungle, fighter and assasin, yasuo is an assasin, he'll be changed with zed, kat and the others in that update, also zed might be getting a stun but that's neither here nor there, oh and jg isn't realy a clas but it gets it's own updates so w/e

No, Yasuo is a skirmisher, not an assassin. His primary role is FIGHTER, his secondary may be assassin, but that is only because of his playstyle with his ultimate and damage potential. Riot has already stated that they are going to take a look at Divers specifically in the future. And don't forget, they will be changing how the class and role system works in the future, that's why I called skirmisher/diver a class, because If I remember correctly, Skirmisher will be a subclass of Slayer, and Diver will be a subclass of Fighter, I think.

Skirmishers and Divers aren't a class, and I just REchecked, Yasuo is a Fighter primary and Assassin secondary, but he's being changed in the assassin patch either way.

He was not one of the ones listed for the assassin update unless there was another thread where he was mentioned. If that is the case then I think they are just going to remove some of his assassination potential and push him more towards skirmisher.

Umm what? Yasuo is classified as a fighter with a subcategory of assassin. As far as we know, he isn't going to be touched in the assassin update.

Now if you can link me a post where a rioter said otherwise, that'd be a different matter
