False enemy or true friend?
I'm finding toplane often sets the tone for the match, especially at pick phase. If I personally don't ban out Yasuo it's nine times outta ten dealing with my Yasuo being very ineffective against an extremely heavy armor stacking Poppy or Kled or something that becomes obnoxiously tanky. Given I've been on an ADC kick for a while it's insanely hard to chip away at a 150 - 250 armor toplaner without a Dominiks and even then it's still risky because of how much health you have to get through. Basically, gently caress Yasuo players

Last night in a ranked game the other team first picks Taric, so my team responds by picking Kled, yasuo mid and graves jungle then wonder why I do no damage as an ADC against Poppy/taric lol

Corki is for whatever reason one of the most difficult characters for me to play well and God help you if you play Kog'maw in a loving ranked game.

Oh man I had a Yasuo furiously pinging me to not take farm because he "can scale and win the game." I was playing Jhin, the character who does not do well with money or does high damage

Yasuo is in pretty much every game where he's not banned now, and he even beats a bunch of the bruisers that used to poo poo on him in top lane, which I find unacceptable.

If you can't dodge a lovely loving godawful draft in ranked because you're in promos or whatever and you have the 3 AD rear end in a top hat comp on your side just lock in Ziggs bot and obliterate the enemy turrets as quickly as possible.

Champion works surprisingly well from the bot lane.

The thing that really gets me about Yasuo as someone who hates himself and continues to play mostly ADC is loving windwall. It's not enough that he can scoot through an entire wave and 3 shot me, he also needs to be able to block all of my damage?

Don't worry, at some point they'll nerf Yasuo again. But they've now created Camille, who is basically Yasuo but with the ability to jump six miles over a wall to safety.

Speaking of Camille, I guarantee that when they get around to nerfing her, she proves to be the next "glass cannon" that is not only viable but utterly broken with a tank build.

The issue isn't any aspect of Yasuo or his kit. He's got plenty of weak points. It's the person behind the keyboard that locks him in every single time.

I dunno, he's been around for two years and I think the depth of what he can do should be really well understood at this point. I think complaining about his kit is moot as there's a few windows of him being strong in a fight and others where he's clearly pretty weak.

I think the bulk of my complaints will be resolved eventually. Either Armor itemization gets a good look at or they figure out how to make AP picks more appealing to discourage a 3AD comp

Oh well I mean as as long as everyone understands what windwall does, it's not a problem. It's only a problem if monkeys approach it cautiously but reverently as the 2001 theme plays

Camille isn't supposed to be a glass cannon though, so presumably they tuned her with trinity force + tank items in mind?? That's her recommended build even I think.
