My teammates banned my Yasuo hover for the fifth time today.

"The Hate had started.

"As usual, the face of Yasuo, the Enemy of the People, had flashed on to the screen. There were hisses here and there among the audience. [...] The programmes of the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to day, but there was none in which Yasuo was not the principal figure. He was the primal traitor, the earliest defiler of the Party's purity. All subsequent crimes against the Party, all treacheries, acts of sabotage, heresies, deviations, sprang directly out of his teaching. [...]

"Winston's diaphragm was constricted. He could never see the face of Yasuo without a painful mixture of emotions. [...] [Generic League Player] was delivering his usual [opinion about the state of the game]--an attack so exaggerated and perverse that a child should have been able to see through it, and yet just plausible enough to fill one with an alarmed feeling that other people, less level-headed than oneself, might be taken in by it. [...]

"Before the Hate had proceeded for thirty seconds, uncontrollable exclamations of rage were breaking out from half the people in the room. The self-satisfied sheep-like face on the screen, and the terrifying power of the Eurasian army behind it, were too much to be borne: besides, the sight or even the thought of Yasuo produced fear and anger automatically. He was an object of hatred more constant than either Eurasia or Eastasia, since when Oceania was at war with one of these Powers it was generally at peace with the other. But what was strange was that although Yasuo was hated and despised by everybody, although every day and a thousand times a day, on platforms, on the telescreen, in newspapers, in books, his theories were refuted, smashed, ridiculed, held up to the general gaze for the pitiful rubbish that they were--in spite of all this, his influence never seemed to grow less. [...]

I expect to be downvoted. I expect, possibly, even to be banned. I expect a moderator to PM me telling me that plagiarism is against terms of service. I expect that, to you, this sounds like Bronze Yasuo Main Salt. But I am tired of having my teammates tell me "no, you can only play the game in a way that fits my nice, tidy, CertainlyT-less vision of it." Glass out.

Then play Blind Pick and be faster than your teammates in picking the toxic pile of sh* that is Yasuo.

The champion is due for a major nerf, by Meddlers own admission, hes not healthy for the game in his current form. People don't want him in their games, not on the enemy team for how broken he is, and not on their own for how many weeaboo wannabe pros he attracts, who go 0/7 before laning phase ends.

And as long as you play draft, you will have to accept the rules of draft. One of which states:_ "We do not have to give a damn about anyones opinion, needs or wishes, when we chose which champion to ban."_

Because people just don't like the champion. It's unfortunate, but it's something that comes along with trying to play him. Most of the community will feel no remorse for banning your Yasuo hover, they do not trust the Yasuo playerbase, enemy or not.

Yep, it's the classic case of Shaco . On the enemy team, he goes 20/1/3; on your team, he goes 0/10/2. When he gets a rework to be a more balanced and reliable/consistent champ he will probably not be banned so much.
