Why EVERYONE Plays: Yasuo | League of Legends 

"Why everyone ints"

The real reason Yas players go mid is because it’s faster to walk there after death

I hate Yasuo. When your midlaner picks him, he goes 0/10. When the enemy midlaner picks Yasuo, he goes 10/0.

As a Singed main, all I associate with Yasuo is: Bush, glue, fart, flipp, haha, run away.

ah yes the famous 10 deaths - 2 items powerspike

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."

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

short answer: edgy ninja samurai guy. long answer: this

I think a "Why everyone plays Jhin" would be pretty cool.

i see more yasuo carries in enemy team than mine

14 mins is the length of this video 14 is the age of the yasuo player who fed the enemy team

your videos are pretty good, you deserve more recognition

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 🤪

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.

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.

you should do a why nobody plays on taliah

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

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.*

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.

Video: Why everyone plays Yasuo Me who doesn't play Yasuo: *Maybe I am a no one*

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.

"everyone's favorite 10 deaths powerspike champion" lol, that's so acurate :^D

You forgot the real reason, they're most likely a weeb.

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.

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

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....

He is voiced by Liam O’Brien, of course people like him!

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 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 Poppy main. I just have fun when I see that champion.

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

this champ is problematic as well as yasuo II.

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

Because his passive is broken AF! Just change it and he will be forgotten.

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.

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 😭

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

So basically,he has too many things so people pick him. Damage,area damage,some cc,movement and defensive abilities. Unbalanced.

Yasuo syndrome is the reason they play yas they love inting

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Everyone's reasons: this video My reason: *SLIDING ON MINIONS*

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...

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.

Didn’t know you started uploading LoL videos now

As a 1m Anivia main, I find Yasuo a worthy opponent to fight close range inside my ult.

Do why everyone plays riven!! Also, what are your thoughts on Talon? Is he over or underplayed

Because people in bronze don't know how to counter him.

Even as a Yasuo hater I'm ashamed to admit I play him on Wilf Rift because he's relatively easy to play

Yasuo's lore feels generic ronin to me. He's just got wind powers.

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

Great work man keep it up u just earned a sub! 👍🏼

Coz hes goddamn broken even after the "nerfs". Abusers will use him ofcourse.

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.

so basically yasuo is for bronze otakus who think they're challenger players because they came back from 0/10 after 30 mins

10 death powerspike is underrated tbh.

"Only 4 seconds" Thats a lot of freaking time

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.)

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.

Why everyone plays akali bc I hate her.

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.

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.

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

Ahah jokes on you my AP Jax mid can have mpre burst then a Kha'Zix

ive gone playing league for almost 3 years now and have yet to play one game on this champion im still holding out strong

I just want his passive to not double his crit chance and his ultimate to only work from his knock ups

Doing air blades and 1v2ing people feel so good! Also, playing safe, farming, and freezing wave is broken!

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

Same Low elo plague as Katarina - extremely unfair gameplay when fed. The champion attracts selfish 1v9 carries who usually go 0/10 strategy when in your team. Junglers also "love" Yasuo in enemy team and provide them extra attention ^_^

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.

Because he is a hyper mobile samurai with a katana.

why would you play yasuo when you can play the bigger better version of him whose name is yone who takes less skills and more op

yasuo is a good character unlike people who play or main him.

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

my 0 5 yasuo, leaving game to whatch this, and coming back to get 0 12

Ezreal and thresh are the next 2 you heard it here first.

It’s great maining a champion that counters yasuo and yone

I still think that Yasuo is one of the most broken champs looking at just his kit. But Gwen comes really close to him....

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.

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.

Yone is better. Fight me.

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.

Yasuo and skill expressove, I exploded in laughter harder than a GP barrel there. Yasuo is the most unskilled noobchampion that has ever graced the rift. Like what the fuck is with everyone who think hes difficult, he has a 0 cooldown dash that has no use limit and he can chase you anywhere where minions or teammates or you are with that. So yeah good luck staying away from him in laning phase he can and will dash from the entire lane in your face. His Q does absurd damage with absurd scaling and has virtually no cooldown, his W is just a: I cannot be bothered to learn dodging or positioning, hos e, we talked about that and his R is just a pointclick that he can use by anything, does high damage, ccs you and then does insane followup damage. Oh yeah and multitarget ability mind you. Yasuo builds IE and bloodthirster, fullheals per Q and omeshots you at the same time. Very skill expressive. Oh yeah and manaless too. Like the free crit wouldnt be enough.

Basically: Bcs he's op

Many people weeb = many people want to play guy with samurai sword

You can sum up all the reasons why in a single sentence : "Kids with heavy brain damage enjoy farts and committing suicide"

"Why everyone shouldn't play" Seriously I've lost so many rank games with a 0/10 Yasuo it's actually comical.

I personally hate yasuo but not bc of his kit but bc of his fucking reputation and how everytime he's on my team he fucking feeds.... And ps I want riot to buff ahri

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

10 death powerspike, rav is truly everywhere XD

I want to pick up yasuo because I love Liam O'Brian so much but I HATE THIS CHAMP

Not in my games ! His permabanned

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

6:30 i forgot about this hidden effect lol

Strong as hell and easy to play is probably the reason

I’m trash with mid like how do you play mid I’m only good at top
