And even if he wins the lane he is very bad at punishing safe farming without forcing fights in the jungle or ganking with CC assist. Other AD assassins burst higher with less items. Yasuos teamfights are below average. the shield is situationally strong and his ult is decent but the lack of poke, waveclear, cc, tankyness, burst make him extremly teamreliant. So far I haven't seen a Yasuo do well except from snowballing a strong lanephase against someone who overextended against him. Yasuo is very good at getting carried by a strong dive combo though and gets high numbers from that. His soloq success is also clear to me: lanephase overextend by his opponents. strong laners are overvalued in soloq because soloq is more psychology/lanedependand. see ziggs and teemo who are mainly strong and anoying laners as well. You are wrong; he is also really good at splitpushing. No champions can kill him 1v1 with equal farm (except maybe Tryndamere) | ||

Esp the first comment sounds really wierd to me. The whole point of drafting is to get a team with synergy... Won't try to defend Darien's W post but... Sure, you draft a team that synergizes well together. However Yasuo requires you devote a pick to help him out. The other team snipes Vi? Now you're forced to run a Malphite or Janna or Nami or another champion that can get counter picked. Most of the fotm champs are ones that fit into any team comp like Shyvana or Lucian. Yasuo forces you to draft according to his needs, so yes, it is a more risky pick than say Orianna mid. Of course right now on live he's pretty strong but after inevitable nerfs... | ||

Trundlr, Shyvana, Tresh, Nami, Gragas, Riven, Lee, ect ect. Dont pretend like the number of viable combo's is small | ||

QoL buffs and R giving full shield were the few changes he had. Went from ~35% on release day to todays 53ish which has gradually trended upwards as time passed by. IMO his shield needs to be toned down a bit. It's quite a bit too high right now. On January 27 2014 00:59 overt wrote: 5% crit is legit. I've even seen Koreans run them. While Yasuo is strong and needs nerfs I don't believe he's as OP as people think. Riot should nerf his passive and remove some of the damage from early game E and he'd be fine. From my games (which are non-pro) the problem is that his laning is oppressive to be against, even if its not that strong. Unless I am playing Orianna I feel like he dictates the lane. Its because he has strong trading (Passive, High Damage, + windwall to get away), Strong all-ins (same), and strong anti-poke (dashes + passive + windwall). Only like, a sustained-poke champ can dictate the lane to him, the only one of those I play is Orianna. For the pros, he just seems like another hyper-snowball champ which is really boring to watch. The only game I saw where the fate of a Yasuo wasn't dominance or irrelevancy after 15 minutes was Dade's Yasuo vs. Faker's Karthus, and thats because Yasuo was ahead, but it was Faker, and it was Karthus who you don't really want to be melle against. | ||

His 1v1 potential is pretty balls to the walls, split pushing yasuo is very hard to stop. Also, if you got insanely good timing with Yasuo's ulti, you can extend knock ups for a lot longer duration if you do it towards the end of the displacement rather than the beginning. | ||

Isn't her base AS and AS growth complete ass as is? IMO her ulti is stupid bonkers, that execute AOE does so much damage, that's how she ends up snowballing real hard. Then her ulti doesn't even fall off since it scales with AD, so LW scales it up as well, and just continues to be batshit bonkers into lategame. | ||
