"Why everyone ints"
YES
I dont int with yas, inting season ended.
yestestye
s
@Ryder Walker ?
@Ryder Walker vars should do "why did he comment this"
The real reason Yas players go mid is because it’s faster to walk there after death
With this strategy it's faster to unlock his secret passive
Gotta speedrun that 0/10 powerspike
just go bot lane and middle finger the adcs
And easier to kill midlaners
@@ctrlkerdel what i did the first 10 lvls of maining yasuo
I hate Yasuo. When your midlaner picks him, he goes 0/10. When the enemy midlaner picks Yasuo, he goes 10/0.
But the 10 death power spike ;)
It's binary.
Half the time I am their yasuo, the other half im ours.
Every. Fucking. Time.
As an adc main who's decided to transition into mid for that sweet sweet solo laning and map influence. Yasuo is one of those champs I recomend playing for the sole purpose of knowing how to play against him.
As a Singed main, all I associate with Yasuo is: Bush, glue, fart, flipp, haha, run away.
A comment hasn't made me laugh this much in a while lmao
thats just my average interaction with strangers
And repeat.
yep, i suck at singed, but my best match was against a yasuo, fighting away from the minions make him more manageable
This comment is the funniest I've seen all day
Honestly they should let projectiles hit with reduced damage not just delete them. My man Braum has a whole shield covered in ice and he is like "I block one bullet" while yasuo has a wall of wind and he is like "I block all bullets."
Well think in this way, this idea past into yasuo, his ww got nerfed like this. His winrate pummelled, what would riot do? Buff him in other ways. Its too dangerous
@@klausgoldfisch3231 Magic isn't ethereal except maybe those related to the mist but even then Champs like Senna or Thresh convert the magic into a form of attack that can harm physical enemies so it makes complete sense that a "wall of wind" can and should be able to block practically anything. For example in the anime Yu Yu Hakusho one of the main character's enemies uses the wind and is later denied the use of his signature attack because it's projectile. His enemy explains that anything that needs to travel through air is at his mercy because he literally controls the air and can manipulate the wind to create a draft that sends it in any direction he wants it too. That's just what Yasuo is doing. He creates an extremely powerful updraft that stays in one place a creates a barrier out of it sending any and all projectiles straight up if it touches his Windwall. Even within a fantasy setting that sounds pretty logical to me.
That would make his so awful. You would definitely not like the compensation buffs they would have to give him to balence that out.
It blocks fucking ORNN ULT! WHYYYYY???
@@youtubeadministration8037 it is definitely bs that it can just deny ults in general.
ah yes the famous 10 deaths - 2 items powerspike
The answer is easy, because riot won't keep yasuo falling, they will buff him whenever he starts falling down so learning him is a great investment
I mean, they nerfed immortal shieldbow and decided to buff Yasuo cause it was his mythic. Gee wizz riot, at least try to hide the favoritism
@@jerryq27 like they wouldn’t give preferential treatment to one of their biggest money makers
he sells skins
@@jerryq27 I kinda remember August say Yasuo is one of his fav champions. All creators have a favorite in their story, looks like August's is Yasuo
There are more hidden mechanics that you've failed to mention.
1)His passive shield comes back when he walks. When yasuo gets boots- his passive shield procs faster. (so in essence, he has a cheap mini-powerspike for only 300g)
2)Lifesteal. For some reason, the 2.5% omnivamp in doran's blade gives yasuo more lifesteal early in the game than many other champs. After you trade with him early and he autos a wave , he gets a significant chunk of his health back. After he gets vamp scepter, the lifesteal goes up significantly.
When he finally builds his shieldbow, his lifesteal is on steroids and trading in lane with him becomes useless.
The only other champions that heal this fast are yone and samira.
Omnivamp is only 33% effective on AoE abilities but Yasuo's Q is treated as on-hit. This means that Omnivamp applies 100% of the healing for each target hit by it.
@@marcusaurelius8467 Thank you for this explanation. Now I finally get it. This is why he heals so much. Yasuo is always spamming Qs. When it hits multiple targets, the omnivamp procs for every single one at 100%. That's where all the healing comes from.
@@RC-zm6bb no , actually is 100% just for the first target and 33% for the other ones , this is why when you q a minion on lane and also hit the enemy from behind the minion , the minions will not aggro attack you because your q is aoe after the first target.
"The only other champions that heal this fast are yone and samira."
*laughs in viego*
But why? Because of their interactions with LS.
All three of these Yasuos have Qs that count as on-hits, with some extra (Yas can on-hit in an area and gets Tempest, Yone gets the dash, Sam gets bonus dmg casting this at melee range on top of getting her bonus dmg at melee range). So when Shieldbow procs and gives them a giant shield and a total of 30%LS by itself, suddenly every Q puts an extra 100hp back in their pool, not counting crits.
I once had a 0/17 yas while i was a fed ap maphite, i hit a 5 man ult and he popped off after feeding all game 🤪
A 10 death powerspike is OP enough, let alone... a 20 DEATH POWERSPIKE :O
Well that speaks to my issue with Yas. It isn't that he's TEAM-DEPENDENT; it's that he can also SUBSIDIZE HIS SKILL WITH TEAM SKILL. He doesn't have to be good enough to pull off his conditional ult, BECAUSE HIS TEAM CAN DO IT FOR HIM. He doesn't have to position to catch the enemy when the tank ccs, because HIS ULT CAN DO IT FOR HIM. He doesn't have to make sure that he's topped up on passive before going in, because HIS PASSIVE WILL DO IT FOR HIM. He gets so much for free, without tradeoff, that he doesn't have to be good because the game will do most of that for him.
I was once 1/6 in laning phase, then when team fighting came I went 12/7. And riot thinks this champ needs a buff
@@mannyvalerio6822late reply but it's a fucking ult? It's literally the reason why it's an "ultimate"
i see more yasuo carries in enemy team than mine
Maybe the reason is you.
Because no Yasuo player wants to tryhard for a teammate who types "typical Yasuo" after 2 deaths
As a twitch main what makes me hate windwall the most is that it’s effectiveness is completely independent from the rest of the game. I can be 20/0/5 on the best scaling ADC in the game and have everything I’ve done all game to get to that point completely negated because a 1/12/3 Yasuo pressed W during a team fight. If I die even once during early game and don’t snowball, I’m going to be basically useless all game, but some troglodyte who locked in Yasuo can still effectively counter me even if he has inted all game.
Troglodyte LOLL
Preach brudah 🤩
Senna mains be like : Windwall ? Don't care I'll AA and Q to death
I hate her, adc with the only counterplay is buying tanky items and killing her fast
I’ve played a lot of Yasuo and I’m of the opinion that windwall should be a reaction based ability, like why is it a decently long lasting and huge wall.
I’ve always had this concept that Yasuo WW should have 2 charges, using an individual charge makes a small, short lasting blocker used to clutch save himself and maybe someone else if they’re directly behind him when I say short I mean like 0.25 seconds or something.
I still think he should keep current WW however I think it would have to use both charges and you would have to hold down W and effectively silence yourself for 1 second to cast the big one, meaning he can be punished for trying to cast windwall and can have the small ones forced out.
Plays into his skill gameplay that they want with cool plays being even cooler but also making his windwall actually be able to be outplayed as you engage on the Yasuo who’s trying to cast big windwall, or cc him, something that is pretty much impossible atm.
@@hatakekakashi3228 this just invalidates his kit. Yasuo is nothing without his windwall. That's why he loses to almost every bruiser
The problem with him is that he has a free shield that not only blocks dmg but all types of cc. So no matter how well you aim at him, no matter how perfect your timeing is he just puts a wall and all of that doesnt matter
That windshield is so irritating
If they would just made it that it doesn't spawn on him so u can't just last second use it and be all fine and dandy he would be so much less oppresive.
malzahar has the same
except for Senna mwahahahahhahaha (this is why I main her)
@@cone3443 Malzahar doesn't dash around and oneshot you. Malzahar has no CC apart from a hard to hit silence which does nothing against AD champs and his ult which roots him.
The spellshield is his only defense and once it's popped Malzahar pops.
I think a "Why everyone plays Jhin" would be pretty cool.
Bc he is fucking amazing. Nice lore, easy and fun but masterable mechanics, and RIOT love him
cause he doesnt need to learn how to attack move kite, 4 slow shots and basically spell casting adc
I agree.
I can tell you exactly why everyone plays Jhin-
FOUR
Agreed 104% !
14 mins is the length of this video 14 is the age of the yasuo player who fed the enemy team
short answer: edgy ninja samurai guy.
long answer: this
anyone that thinks yasuo is edgy obviously hasn’t even glanced at his lore
@@carnifex423 ok. most people do not read the stories. Their exposure to the champion is the championdesign, their kit and the voicelines. I wasnt trying to bash yasuo, theres nothing wrong with being edgy. He just gives the impression of edgyness when playing him. And people who dont think so probably havent played the game. Now I know the story, and the character, he is heavily unromanticized. I am his psychological pain and so on. But it doesnt change the fact that when people see yasuo they see edgy ninja sword man.
@@younggod5230 He's not even a ninja, he's just a ronin. Like, imagine calling Miyamoto Musashi a ninja. lmao
Cool funny sword man
your videos are pretty good, you deserve more recognition
No he doesn’t
You forgot to mention how his ult isn't just his own knock ups, or teammates knockups, or baron dragon and fruit knockups, its also displacements, a Darius pull can do it
you should do a why nobody plays on taliah
Because she looks like a date
especially Taliyah mid
@@threejackdaws2293 what?? Does this mean?
yes yasuo has a very aggressive playstyle but u dont need to permapush just to get killed by the enemy jg
people often forget that a freeze can also be beneficial in many situations as you will have both an escape and engage no matter what happens in your lane
"you get kills by not dying" - the yasuo mains who dont int
I am 2 years laterand all i can say that the last line feels true.
Started to play Yasuo and as my enemy gets impatient for me to go in they just get either punished by stabbing with Q or my jungler conveniently jumpscaring them.
Way better than playing aggressive and dying at a tower dive at level 2
I feel like wave management may be even more important for Yasuo that for the others. Like, he got one of the lowest defensive stats (so minions that will attack you during trade will hurt seriously), and Q and E can be used effectively only with minions.
precisely @@deriveepoch2725
Sooo...A skirmisher that burst you down faster than a assasin, has a shield and wall that is better than any support, spam cc more frequent than a mage, gain more benefit from crit than an adc,more dash than anyone else in the game, has a overwhelming early, strong mid and hard carry late game, yes that sound like a verry ballance thing Riot.
Laughs in M7 spam XD
The free gold this guy gets is insane. His shield passive is about 1100 gold passive from Bloodthirster, the extra crit is worth about 2000+ gold. That's 3100 gold as minimum which is why he has such an oppressive two item spike. He also gets to R off any knock up, so he doesn't really need to be good, just be with a good teammate with a knock-up (Malph/Ori) this also why I hate Kaisa ulti, she should have to land an auto or w but realistically she can just bolt in because she has a tank on her team. Additionally, because of his kit you have to kite away from your wave and thus closer to enemy junglers. All of these things are massive downsides for the enemy team without Yasuo even doing anything yet. At least with things like Akali, she does generally need to be good and actually hit her buttons to be benefitting her team. Yasuo can just W, afk, and his R the first time a person gets knocked up, and profit.
this champ is problematic as well as yasuo II.
play better
gottem
@@us2475 cringe
Somekind of Dude k shitter
@@us2475 Cringe
You forgot a huge part of why people play Yasuo: When he was released, it was extremely rare for a champion's abilities to cost 0 resources. This was busted. It's not as crazy nowadays, but not having to care about a resource bar is a huge perk.
It was him, Riven, Garen, and Katarina. All these champs stomped through the game like monsters at the time.
Compare this to the ninjas and energy. Energy was widely considered OP at the time due to mana actually mattering, but ninjas had to prioritize using which ability when due to how energy worked, ranking up their abilities mattered a lot to reducing costs, and they had to play around mechanics to restore energy.
Yasuo just did it all for free, and it was even worse than that. This was a guy who not only didn't have to buy any secondary resource management item, but he also got *better item scaling from his passive.*
Yasuo came out just a few months after I started playing, and was the first champ I really wanted to master. And still do (never could because he was permabanned after 37 minutes into release.)
Whenever there's a yasuo on my team I go alistar. Getting a 5 man pop up is great in it self, but having yasuo ult the entire team because of you is priceless
Video: Why everyone plays Yasuo
Me who doesn't play Yasuo: *Maybe I am a no one*
As a Poppy main. I just have fun when I see that champion.
Poppy is my go-to tank and I grin like a carved pumpkin when I see the dashing airbender on the enemy team.
@@bigbananae as a Jax main, I eat fed Yasuo’s for breakfast lol.
But if I’m not playing Jax then me and my whole team is FUCKED
Poppy has become one of my top 10 picks again this season due to the increase of all the dashing assholes I've been seeing lately. Like I'm not even counting those who are running Stridebreaker or Galeforce, there's just been a lot of assassins and champs with natural dash or hops lately. Especially that asshole Nocturne.
As a yasuo main I will do everything in my power to avoid you the whole game until I have my items and an LDR. Thank you for your understanding.
Great work man keep it up u just earned a sub! 👍🏼
Welcome! :D
He is voiced by Liam O’Brien, of course people like him!
I have almost 400k points on him and I can tell you, he is really fun. It just never gets bored, it is so fun styling on your enemies with a airblade or keyblade and I love how they designed him as a champion in general. Nice video tho!
As a mastery 7 Yasuo main this is true but it is also funny to see me and other Yasuo mains mess up, idk why.
@@zeroera1 Yea that's true. I mess up a lot too haha
hes my most played champ too, i find him way more fun than yone, i only play yone if yasuo is banned.
When i met a mastery 7 yasuo i played as xerath and pretty much carried the game, while he had 1:1 k:d and pinged his mastery 7 emote every time he got a kill at least 5 times at once.
you are not styling on your enemies. you are simply pressing a button.
"everyone's favorite 10 deaths powerspike champion"
lol, that's so acurate :^D
For people who master yasuo mechanics, im pretty sure pd+berserks also give yasuo a bit of a power spike because that's when you can do airblades and things like that. You can get an extra q damage when you ult. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I dont know i will teste it
I just find him annoying though. Like, he always takes the spotlight everywhere he appears. In the lore for example, Riot made him leave Ionia after his brother that he killed came back from the dead and showed him into the ruined king game. Riot showed him into True Damage and he added nothing. He is so out of place and boring in TD he made it worse by just existing. He is constantly featured in cinematics, promotional material etc.
In game, He is annoying to lane against because he forces you to pay attention to him %100 of the time. I can aim the best Neeko e or Lux q and he can just press a button and waste my combo. Also i have the reflexes of a boomer at age 17 i and can't beat him in lane. Or i'm just being too salty and biased. I don't know.
He is one of the most popular champs, and a lot of people like him tho, thats why he appears everywhere. And yes. He is broken. I dont try to do flashy shit with him, bc i would feed, and bc my boomer reflexes at age 17 so i just farm up till i have 100 crit, and oneshot everybody. Its a strange champ, but a lot of fun to play.
I didn't mind him too much until i started seeing him played bot lane...Both him and Yone for that matter. It makes my blood boil to see anyone that isn't meant to be an adc be played bot (unless it's norms, cuz ik people are just having fun), cause it really makes me realize how useless traditional adc's are in reality. And Riot doesnt want to fix adc's cause people will be playing them in other lanes, while every other broken champ can be played bot lane...MAKES PERFECT SENSE. I dont even understand how their passive crit shit works, so i just watch him delete every squishy and then take no damage cause his lifesteal is insane (yeah, anti heal exists, but are low elo players gonna build it? Probs not)
@@monunivers1394 lucian and vayne top, lucian mid? Adcs are quite good idk why you guys ramble so much. twitch is one of my mains and I don't find the role to be that bad unless your supp is aids
@@boristheturtle573 that's exactly why, in lane you're 100% reliant on your supps. You can't do much yourself if your partner is garbage
@@monunivers1394 just go a ultra off meta adc, which can 100 solo sustain practically 1v2 easily. ive tried jax and leblanc and it went pretty good.
I have banned him almost since he came out, and I continue to always ban him. His windwall is the dumbest design Riot made. It's like the new champions weren't supposed to have any counterplay, besides "pick another champion", as it completely invalidates ranged champions/mages. It's such a game-changing ability to have as a "normal ability", hell, even Morgana and braum have a specific amount they can take before their shield breaks, and Sivir and nocturn can only really take 1 hit before their spell shield is down. Yasuo's can take your whole team's combo. God I hated when Lux's ult couldn't even go through. It doesn't leave room for fun gameplay around it.
If I could, I would replace that ability, and then move on to ban Yone or something. :P
GO THROUGH IT BRUH
Lux abilities cd is about 9 sec. Wind wall is a 20 second ability. You should be able to bait it out in every stage of the game
@@js.josippp As Jinx?! Sure bro, I'll just do that. In reality if you're a squishy ranged champ who excels in front to back team fights ur fucked. Completely, and utterly fucked. There's always room to grow and learn, and I can def learn to play better against ww. But it still feels way to forgiving as an ability. There's no drawback to using ww other than knowing when to use it correctly because of the long cd, which isn't really a drawback because you don't lose anything else using it, you don't need recourses/stacks, it's just free.
There was 2-8 yasuo on my team. We roasted him good. We were losing hard. But late game, he did THAT thing, and secured victory 😭
Me thinking : why do ppl play him despite his edgy design and cringy voicelines whilst video man sais the complete opposite . His windwall must be the most broken ability in the game . its just a hard counter to everything which is skill shot, punishing skillshot with such ease when u should reward ppl to land them is the stupidest decision ive ever seen in LoL ! Especially since with the 10000 dashes newer champs have and that they are harder to land in general. And his shield just makes that in lane he just cowardly stays back running in circles evrytime its not on. And lastly doublying critchance must be a decision made when a dev took too many drugs , its just silly value and on top of that limits designspace on every crit item just for the sake of this edgelord.
the second most broken ability, after "a whole circle around me is a windwall" samira
Ok look another episode of “spot the delusional as fuck Yasuo hater”
i personaly like playing him, but its more important to me to dont torture enemy team, so i refuse to play him just like zoe
Everyone's reasons: this video
My reason: *SLIDING ON MINIONS*
10 death powerspike is underrated tbh.
1, He can dash constantly.
2, His windshield block ultimates
3, His Ult is OP
He is One of the best 1v1 champs on Lane but you still have to be very good to kill a yi or jax 1v1
For some reason I can't see how old this video is, and I'm not against it at all, but I've played about 100 flexes this season (Season 11) in silver and can't remember ever seeing Yas. It's weird. He's not even getting banned in my games.
Bcs Yasuo s11 is clearly weaker than Yasuo s10, and in s10 Yasuo wasn't at his best
And at the S11's start it was even worst, the champ had 40% w/r for 2 months
Doing air blades and 1v2ing people feel so good! Also, playing safe, farming, and freezing wave is broken!
Didn’t know you started uploading LoL videos now
Yessir!
That 2 item 100% is bs. Even if he is feeding after those two items he'll just auto dps u to Death n ur team roit come on
@Camoox give him 1.5x crit not 2x. It takes adc 5-6 team to get 100% doing it 2 item is dumb.
@Camoox remove him and his shitty brother from the game everyone expect the yassuo mains will be happy
My rule number one is to ban yasuo, no matter what. This creates funny situations, where when enemy team bans yone, the yasuo mains don't know how to play any other champ and just dodges. Or picks something and feeds anyway blaming everyone for baning the only champ he plays. On ranked. With 10 bans. With most banned champ in gold. Like the game knowledge doesn't matter. For yas mains it doesn't, I guess xD But for real, my games has improved sooo much since I'm baning yasuo every single game
as someone who plays malphite often (still new to league so tend towards tanks and top lane), actually having a yasuo is decent. Your huge knockup and his follow up has won me games. if you dont however have a malphite or reliable knock up, hes coinflip
i was always wondering this, thanks for making this video :)
As a 1m Anivia main, I find Yasuo a worthy opponent to fight close range inside my ult.
Yasuo syndrome is the reason they play yas they love inting
i have no problem with yasuo alone. Although his dash and windwall might seem overpowered, its a unique design.
The thing i hate is the players. Its always the players that ruin the fun of the game for me.
Everytime you lock in yasuo you should just get 1 report for Flaming on the house. Like from the Client itself.
Cause locking in that champion, you can not be a healthy or positive player.
Yasuo's lore feels generic ronin to me. He's just got wind powers.
The Wind Shitter
Do why everyone plays riven!!
Also, what are your thoughts on Talon? Is he over or underplayed
I play LOL for 5-6years and never owned or played Yasuo willingly (URF/ARAM 2x in my life played yas)... I dont play those wind brother shiiiters ever....
i actually like his lore but it’s the opposite of most things. he’s oddly similar to bard, he’s a wanderer but less of an edgy lone wolf but more of an old west feeling, someone who saves the whole town and then walks off into the sunset
you actually his lore?
@@Zedzilliot whoops
That's probably because western movies like Sergio Leone's "For a Fistful of Dollars" were HEAVILY inspired by Akira Kurosawa's movies and that's why I believe his High Noon skin is the perfect nod to that Samurai-Cowboy genre that Kurosawa and Leone created
You know why your Yasuo feeds? Because Yasuo is squishy as fuck. And so everyone camps him like he's a solo ADC. In fact, he IS an ADC, that trades range for mobility and some CC.
Once you look at Yasuo as an ADC and not as a Skirmisher, he makes a lot more sense. Trust me. Yes he gains a lot of stats from items, but also has nearly no base stats, while also being melee. So Yasuo is one of the Highest risk low reward champion
"Only 4 seconds" Thats a lot of freaking time
The actual reason why I main Yasuo is because of his mechanics and learning curve. And rn I've been playing him is Wild Rift and sadly his mechanics (and wind wall) are nerfed alot.
Here's what I noticed in Wild Rift Yasuo:
1.Less minions and creeps means less dashes and the cd is 8 seconds on every target which for a mobile game is alot.
2.His tornado can be countered by Teemo's Blind and Jax Counter strike as I remembered the time I played Yasuo on League pc that's not how it works.
3.Wind wall doesn't block Braum's Ult and Nunu's Snowball Idk why but that's how it works.Those two champions are a good pick rn.
4.You can't do airblade in 1 to 2 items and even if you did in late game, doing 2 basic attacks to the airborne enemy then ulting deals more dmg so it isn't really worth it to do that.And even with max attack speed it's still difficult because of no cancel animations on Wild Rift.
5.Beyblade on Yasuo in Wild Rift is useful sometimes but with the constant fights on a smaller map flash is important
6.Counter picks. In Wild Rift every skill match up on Yasuo like Yas vs Zed in Wild Rift it isn't like on pc it's different
blind, counter strinke does counter along with Teemo blind, they will still take the knock up so you can ultimate which can still deal damage though
When I was new to the game what attracted me to Yasuo was his exiled samurai thematic and the battle cries, then his very skill expressive gameplay where you feel like if you're comptent enough on the champ you can do anything and 1v9 games, So I played over 1400 Games of Yasuo but then I stopped and play him occasionally.. Switched to other Assassins like Zed, Yone, Reworked Akali, Katarina and so, Never been a fan of mages tbh, Love the flashy dashy gameplay of Assassins and Skirmishers..
(I know no one asked, You can skip posting that in my comment)
I know the game since 2013, but I started playing a while ago and I started playing with my best friend who is from Alaska, he is very sweet to me, making me feel better when I play poorly because I'm very anxious and feel terrible when I die or feed.
Why am I saying this?
Because his main is Yasuo, and I feel like even when everyone already knows this, I couldn't hold myself from saying as a reminder that not all Yasuo mains are toxic or bad. The character you play doesn't reflect who you are, it's your personality, and how you treat others in the match.
5:58 i have a knack for hitting cross base ults for Ashe and got him with some myself on ARAm so yeah, it feels like a lifetime.
I just want his passive to not double his crit chance and his ultimate to only work from his knock ups
this is dumb
Yeah so basically, you want him to go full crit and then OS by any 0/10 champ
Or u want him to deal 0 dmg, when he don't have a lot of dmg early game ?
@@OuhHey yes
Riot wont even had thought of this to their golden boy
@@OuhHey yes please
It’s great maining a champion that counters yasuo and yone
Even as a Yasuo hater I'm ashamed to admit I play him on Wilf Rift because he's relatively easy to play
looking at the list of skirmishers, its kinda crazy that of all 10, only 1 is reasonably balanced, lillia is such a good champ its a shape people dont play her much
So basically,he has too many things so people pick him. Damage,area damage,some cc,movement and defensive abilities. Unbalanced.
He's perfectly balanced, every weeb skin for him gets huge sales and every wannabe weeb in a basement plays him. How dare you rob them of their fantasy?
- Riot probably
@@sharp_iodine2737 doesn't Yasuo crumple if he is hit with any form of Hard CC?
@@KhaosAdmiral IF he hit. CC? Windwall anyway...
Last time I played Yas in Wild Rift, I started 1/4/0 and ended the game with a quadra kill. I can't even play Yasuo properly on my phone.
Because he is a hyper mobile samurai with a katana.
i main support but when i used yas for the first time i become very good at it immediately, i don't know why, maybe he's too easy to play.
You forgot the real reason, they're most likely a weeb.
When you're one of the people that fits the "his kit matches his lore and some people connect with that" XD
If anyne didnt see that in the video, yeah, his wind wall blocks Braum's ult, for whatever reason.
When you see a Yasuo with m7 don't flame him for losing his lane, everyone has a bad day. I've had this happen to me so many times. T-T
Don’t worry, I tried to dodge every Yasuo on my team unless Seraphine got nerfed
ive gone playing league for almost 3 years now and have yet to play one game on this champion im still holding out strong
When I started playing the game I did know that he was a very difficult champion to play. I wanted to main one champion and one champion alone and oh boy picking yasuo was a bad idea. I often spent too much time worried about mechanics not learning jungle tracking objective control wave manipulation and not even proper lanning techniques such as creating all in windows basing if the lane state is lost and you don't have the HP to fix it. The fact that I spammed yasuo made me a worse player for very very very very long. I'm not a great player now either I'm sure I'll get shit on by most of the player base but I that's expected. I'm a casual player. Picking yasuo as a main was a mistake cause it made the game alot harder. The game is already complex enough without having to focus so much on mechanics.
I know I'm bad at the game. But why is windwall a thing? I'm fine with a champ having infinite dashes, even as an adc. When a yone 1v9s my team I don't feel as a frustrated as I do when a yassuo just uses windwall against me in a team fight and I become useless for several seconds because of one uninteractive abilty.
Shen's W and Jax's E are no where near as frustrating to play against as windwall. But obvi I'm biased, I main Jinx. For bruisers Jax's E might be their worst nightmare. Still, Jax's E consumes mana and it only protects him. And Shen is a tank who's kit is all peel, not an insane crit carry.
The most auto banned champ for me. Nothing about this champ I like, but most all all that wall....oh how I hate that wall.
As a Yasuo main i Agree with almost about everything you said but even perfect Yasuo mains can int we all int aren't we
Because his passive is broken AF! Just change it and he will be forgotten.
i hate this champion. genuine question here did anyone EVER have a yasuo ingame that was like "yeah, we may be behind but lets just play around "champoin X" hes fed."
no, of course you didnt. he is litteraly anime main character syndrome incarnate. if he doesnt get to carry might as well noone be.
I know there are other champions with toxic communities but for every one of those i have seen redeeming players with a positive mentality. For Yasuo i have never once seen one that says something positive. The "Least Toxic" Yasuos i have seen until now are those that just shut up until they say gg ez after winning.
Thats so true.
Ah Yasuo the bane of my Ahri main. Yes he is very much disliked for his wind wall ability and yet despite its cool down his dash mobility makes it hard for a pre 6 ahri to lock him down until he gets up in my grill. Though I only played him 2 times for the lols despite what some people say he does have mechanical demand to be played well.
(Thankfully playing skillshot simulator champs for years and playing different assassians I managed to pick up on him relatively easily though the ceiling is much higher than the floor)
Those nerfs were deserved and needed. He did plague mid lane till I perma banned him lmao. But now with chanpions like Zed making him look like a drooling infant by comparison. Running into a good yasuo is a nightmare between a free shield, a wind wall, and crit for days hes definately that late game carry.
Now before someone in the comments says 'wElL yOu'rE AhRi, jUsT CHarM hIm.' Well gee why didnt I think of that (sarcasm ensues) the problem is between that W of his and his dashes its hard to pin down unless he gets up close, has nothing to dash to, and wasted his W. And just for clarity to non ahri players. Ahri's charm on hit at level 1 since most ahri players max charm last for various reasons. Charm at 1st level only charms them for 1.14 seconds up to 2 seconds at max. So at first level for a good 3/4 of the game even if i hit him hes only gawking at me for just over a second. Once that is gone he has free range to come at me knowing my charm is gone and by default my q and w for the damage to hit him when charmed he can turn to me and depending on if he has his q charge he can do his dash knock up and return the favour. The only way I get the kill is if I have ult in that mix and dash around him and possibly ignite to finish him off if he gets away.
Ive seen good yasuo's and bad ones too. The bad ones are funny to watch as they dash rigbt into cc but the good ones make you live nightmares and gray screens.
Can relate, even if it’s mostly from the Yasuo side of the matchup; also s11 items cause shieldbow is just an infinitely better version of old phantom dancer
Not in my games ! His permabanned

hahahaha get owned yasuo main
@Camoox
I ban yasuo to piss off yasuo mains and drink their tears.
I dont care how strong or weak he is. He is cancer to play vs. And I love to spite yasuo mains.
because he's broken as fuck and has tools to get away from literally *a n y* situations, he can counter Counters, which is bullshit, and get's gold for free with his mindbogling 50% more crit passive...
Excuse me, what? Counter counters? Yasuo is one of the worst blind picks in mid, a lot of things counter him
@@Fish-se7cf Excuse you, What exactly can counter yasuo? and I mean Counter= Completely shut him down.
He does have Hard matchups, but unlike most champions that have counters that fully inutilize them, Yasuo has tools to deal with any hard matchup.
Hard CC? you have INFINITE Dashes on your E that can either dodge the skillshot/put you away from the point and click CC/Put you on the other fucking side of the Screen and evade it completely.
Skillshots? W and E and no one will ever hit you as long as you are not a potato.
Ranged bullies? You are a ranged bully too, Q 3 and you will deal damage from far away, not to say.. Just fucking Infinite Dash into the Ranged bully, W and start auto attacking them, if they try to follow, Q3 and you win trade.
Veigar Cage? Your ult is a literal fucking TELEPORT that Instantly BLINKS you away from danger, with such a Retarded Range you can just *appear* on a team fight from fucking nowhere.
I could go on. but you get the idea, No one counters yasuo, Yasuo has a tool to escape and deal with everything and fucking EVERYONE, it's just a 'Little' harder for him.
The only reason Yasuo is not Braindead OP right now is because Riot keeps him on a Mildly underpowered state, where he deserves to be, because any buff to his kit will cause him to go fucking Rampage mode again and ruin the fun for his enemies.
It's like akali, she doesn't need buffs, the only way akali can be "balanced" is being nerfed and understated, because any buffs causes her Broken kit to shine once again.
@@uneterostardust8233 Jesus are you listening to yourself? Literally just look at your first paragraph. Just dodge hard CC with your E against counters? Do you have any idea of what champions counter Yasuo? Think of it for a little bit. Pantheon, Renekton, Annie, what do they all have in common? Go dodge those lmao. And what the fuck do you mean by just E away from range? All these characters mentioned can easily catch up if you somehow pull that off before stun.
And those four matchups I mentioned? Completely unplayable if the other guy is not incredibly worst than the Yasuo. Having 4 surefire extreme counters in mid is already a good amount, and those are just the ones that counter him because of hard CC! I havent even gone on the merit of champions who hard counter him for other reasons too, like Galio.
Please, take a moment to reconsider that point before putting a wall text together thinking just because its big it will make sense
@@Fish-se7cf Pantheon is not popular mid and neither is he popular top> Renekton is top only, and you can Q3 him to stop him or E away.
annie can't do shit to yasuo, W and you are safe, Yasuo has advantage till her lvl 6, but it's enough to maybe shut her down from the game.
Yasuo is the Kind of champion that always wins if you are good enough with him. He has a tool for every situation and Just like Riven, If you know how to play the champion you win by default. Because the champion is broken.
What doesn't make sense is you using random ass matchups he rarely will fight against.
Sure, Braindead run forward and click champions like Master Yi is the closest to a real "Counter" Yasuo gets, he can't do much against that, but that's a very rare ocasion of a champion being able to keep pace with yasuo's mobility and not having any Skillshot he can 200years-Delete with Windwall.
You didn't.. *Counter* any of my points.
and BTW Bruisers got nerfed so using renekton as example is even more nonsensical.
@@uneterostardust8233 Infinite dashes? Sure, he has a low CD on his dash ability, but he can only dash through an enemy once for awhile. Fighting Yasuo away from minions and neutral monsters can take away a lot of his mobility.
I don’t think your strategy against ranged champs would work. For example, a good Viktor will almost always use his gravity field defensively in Laning phase. Yasuo goes in for a melee trade. Viktor places his W defensively, if Yasuo commits to the trade, he gets stunned, allowing Viktor to retaliate or run away.
10 death powerspike, rav is truly everywhere XD
I still think that Yasuo is one of the most broken champs looking at just his kit. But Gwen comes really close to him....
Removing his armor shred after ult would fix him.
the fact that the wind wall delette ult like ornn's ult is disgusting
Galion dash too is canceled by non dispmacement cc
I dont play yasuo and I have seen range of players. Yesterday Rito blessed me with Nightbringer skin so I guess you can add me to the INTer's list xD
Hoho! A fellow "not a yasuo player but rito blessed with the nightbringer and so will spam the windshitter to level 7, 500k mastery points!" Hello there kindred spirit! Lmao!

@@Austin_V hahahaha thats one comprehensive moral booster pack! thanks a ton bro! :D
@@cr8xtremeCaRnAgE youre welcome!
Yeah, because he is one of these "skill-champs" which skale so hard you don't need any skill for play him.
The only champ ingame that can go 0:20 but then 1vs9 the full build enemy team with his 2 core items in low elo where people don't know how to counterplay him, even he himself doesn't know how to play his own champ. He is just the worst designed champ in the whole game, and the only one feed doesn't matter.
And as team mate the only thing you can do after he fed the whole enemy team is to support the 0:20 player to carry the game, because he is much stronger than the 8:0 you. And then people think, yeah i carried the game i am so pro. It's just toxic.
One of the few autowin champs, if the enemy team doesn't counterpick him, and so either wins or destroys the enemy players fun to play champs they want to play, because they loose otherwise.
And that's the reason people like him, because they are toxic themself, and want a champ that decides everyone else has to play around them. The perfect egocentric champ. And Yasuo is the only champ which guaranties this.
Git gud noob kek, you are the most delusional moron I’ve ever seen so gj I guess
Think about this: A game dev really looked at Yasuo and said "Balanced, as all things should be."
Yasuo is a champion that coined the term "Yasuo Syndrome". By definition, it's when a champion is on your team they feed and flame and AFK, but when they are on the enemy team, they are a top 100 Challenger one trick.
The reason he is so played is for the same reason Zed is played. They saw one pro player outplay and thought "Pshh I can do that. I'm gonna show all these Iron 5 plebs my superior mechanics". Then when they get stomped, they blame the jungle for not ganking or blame the enemy mid for picking a no skill, easy, one button win champ that is braindead.
Yasuo isn't hated for his kit (I actually like his kit a lot) he is hated for the people who play him.
I had a friend who reached challenger by grinding and brute forcing with Yasuo mid and Yasuo top. However, whenever we played together he was toxic and blamed me (a support main) for not healing him or peeling when the Malphite (also our friend) would engage.
Yasuo is a prime example of pick or ban. Because if your ally picks them, you will lose due to feeding, AFK or toxicity, but on the flip side if the enemy picks him you lose due to your mid or top having the mechanics of a baked potato.
yasuo is a good character unlike people who play or main him.
7:45 he tried to windwall the turret.what
guess he tried to predict camilles 1st E cast.
@@MrFiftyChaff but... that is his teammate
@@Francetheguy lmao mb
I once picked Yasuo on ADC, got some disgusting score like 27/5 and swore off playing him ever again
Ezreal and thresh are the next 2 you heard it here first.
One of those are correct!
Why 4 seconds is so long:
With ability haste build (duskblade) Ezreal, you can get off 4 Qs in the time the windwall covers yasuo.
Morganas q is 3 seconds, so anything over that is forever
Thresh please. I wanna know what do you think about that little, precious skelly
The only thing i hate about his kit is that shield passive, i play a lot of poke mage and that guy can just trade and walk away it's not broken but it's just annoying early
Because people in bronze don't know how to counter him.
my 0 5 yasuo, leaving game to whatch this, and coming back to get 0 12
