Thoughts on Yasuo?

[m_yutaka]

Just played him a couple times, and holy shit he is STRONG. Scales so hard after two items, and I find myself with near perfect farm every game!

Edit: Wow this thread blew up! Will update OP with more analysis, as I am goin to sleep now

Yeah he's pretty damn strong. Although it all depends on how his laning phase goes. Usually if you fall behind during laning phase and stay behind into mind-game you won't have any DPS for your team/significance until you farm up and make it into late-game. If I'm playing Yasuo top vs some sort of AD Bruiser, I like to rush Statik Shiv and straight into a Randuins for a defensive item. (Depends on their team comp as to what defensive item I build). I usually take 2 defensive items and the remaining items are comprised of a Statik Shiv, IE, LW.

 

[Jiwi]

Yeah imo a 2-item ad carry with a 5 person knockup was underestimated until people started getting to know how to play him. (skyrocketed ban rate now)

And even if he falls behind in lane, with teamfight phase and another aoe knockup, the kills and assists come because he scales and farms so well.

tldr he's great right now

 

[Krenshaw]

Yasou is op in good hands.

 

[Famoos]

He's my favorite champion to play since he can make some nice jukes/escapes and you can have 100% crit strike with statik shiv and infinity edge and some crit runes. Pretty OP

 

Yeah, op slut, comes crits you goes back behind minions so on untill he has the fuckin tornado, and ults boom.

 

[Just Sayin']

Played against him once, top lane & i was Nasus.. He dominated me, I couldn't do anything. Go into last hit & he'd attack me.. So op imo

 

[Heeatz]

So strong if you have a team with knockups.

Yasuo/Janna is a sooper strong combo

His late game is annoying as shit can literally 1v1 anyone thats not exceptionally tanky.

I played in D1 last season and saw a yasuo 3v1 someone late game and just ended the game. He was extremly behind also, they just let him farm and he was slashing left and right kill after kill....extremely powerful if hes farmed/fed/<late game

Yeah, Yasuo needs to be shut down early game so his transition into mid game is weak and he won't be able to make a significant impact on the game. At that point you have to try to stop Yasuo from free farming and actually use his disadvantage to your advantage by taking objectives.

Tl:dr
Beat Yasuo Early.
Don't let him free-farm after and make plays for objectives.
End before he can get caught up late game.

This and this x500.

Pretty op, rito want people to buy him with RP then he will get nerfed, ridiculous damage and control

Strong CC Melee champs take a dump on him if you don't get outplayed. I.e, Jax and Rennek.

 

[Arkmed]

Haven't tried him yet. Is he hard to play/understand?

After the first or second game of going 1/10, I feel like I have enough knowledge now on how to play him - and damn, is he strong.

 

[Naxious]

He isn't that hard to understand. I played with him a few times at my friends house.

I suggest you watch this

At the beggining yes, understand his E. Could save you...I mean it.
