I understand that Yasuo can feel unfun to play against, but what is this huge anti-Yasuo circlejerk I see everywhere?
I mean seriously, there's got to be a limit at some point. I'm starting to not even see which anti-Yasuo posts are just memes and others just people crying.
Let's just calm down and think for a second. Yasuo is unfun to play against, yeah. So? 90% of the champion pool can feel unfun to play against, what's the point? Have you tried laning vs. Lucian or Caitlyn? Vs. Pantheon? Or jungling against an Ivern? Seriously, there are tons of champions that feel unfun to play against.
"But good Yasuo players are annoying!"
Any good player on his best champ will be a pain in the ass to play against. Yasuo doesn't escape this rule. Heck, I'd say it's even easier to deal with a good Yasuo than other good players since all it requires to shut him down is jungle presence and patience. That's all. There are also so many match-ups that can fuck him up hard (Darius, Fiora, Riven, Annie, Orianna to name a few.) You will never see a high elo player complain about Yasuo being cancer outside of memes, because they know how to deal with him, and they also know how to play WITH him.
"but my Yasuos suck ass"
Then it has more to do with the players than with the champs. And honestly, if they insist on picking Yasuo despite not knowing how to play him, then don't even expect them to do good on any other champion. First, if you ban their pick, they will tilt already (you haven't even given them a chance to justify their pick.) Second, that is just a serious bitch move as you will be the one to blame if said player is tilting in his game (because you banned his champion without telling/warning/asking him.) Finally, you've wasted a ban against someone from your own team instead of a lane match up you hate or an overperforming champion. Besides, Yasuo ain't the only one with an unfamous playerbase (looking at you Riven, Vayne, Zed and Lee Sin.)
Seriously, the huge anti-Yasuo circlejerk is just starting to get on my nerves. It's being shoved at everyone's face, and I'd say 80% of this circlejerk are Silver and below players that don't know how to deal with Yasuo.
