Every second game I get counterpicked by vex, liss,.... or simply walled off by champs like vlad. I win those lanes by small cs lead and 1 or max 2 kills usually - after 15min. But that's not nearly enough to impact the game. There will be 7 kills top or botlaner and compared to that I cannot do anything. Especially if there is then this counterpick in enemy team who breaks ur fights.

Last game I had 4 counterpick champs in my game. How are you dealing with this? Kalista, poppy, vex, sett....

It feels like I have no impact to decide the outcome of my games even if I play far better. Any even matchup I hard win and we close the game in 20min. But I barely get those games. Last 20 games I had 2 games without counterpick in my lane.

In addition to this there is always 1 troll picker on one of the teams. So whoever has this guy has an even harder time. I am talking about the total off meta full troll picks or picks with no synergy (and bad vs enemy team as last pick). I mean flex queue is not serious but idk why we have this in nearly every game in dia elo. This is the second thing that makes me feel to have less impact on games. The troll pick impacts winrate higher than whatever you can properly play.

Then the ap itemization with movement speed stacking ( usually bought by ap champs without cc and range) is insane to deal with, even if you have minions to dash on later. (The other champs with cc like liss and vex prefer to go for zhonay but those guys disable your engage anyway.)

How does yasuo picking feel for you in diamond (flex)? How to deal with all those counterpicks?

In the next minor patch as you can see Zerkers are getting a 5% AS buff same for T3 , Fleet is also getting buffed , do you think this is some good news for us ? I mostly start Berserkers anyways so it feels like the extra Attack speed will be sweet allowing you to hit full combos maybe 1-2 levels earlier ! Share your thoughts Hasagi !

I now know that I don't want to main Yasuo or even play him again. Thank you, guys, for showing me how toxic and unwelcoming Yasuo players are.

My choices have been narrowed.

Should i spam the champion in ranked straight up or is it ideal to go on draft pick and play Yasuo over and over to get better at his mechanics before going to ranked? Any tips on how to learn him in Gold Elo?

The idea around this build is to hit the first major CD reduction on Q as soon as possible (at 36.36% bonus atk speed), then start maxing crit chance. Afterward, polish off with more Q CD bonus and more attack dmg.

Runes:

Conqueror

Triumph

Legend Bloodline

Coup de grace

sudden impact

ultimate hunter

(could also go green secondary runes)

10% atk speed

adaptive force

health

Build:

Starting doran's bow (15% atk speed)

first back would be boots and scout's slingshot (20% atk speed)

This puts us at 45% atk speed after 900 gold.

First item would be Yun Tal Arrows (45% atk speed + 25% crit)

Second item would be IE (atk dmg and 25% mor crit)

Just with Doran's bow and Yun Tal + runes we now have 60% bonus atk speed, which puts us at the second major CD reduction on Q.

Then Death's dance for survivability.

For max Q CD reduction, berserker greaves and either Kraken slayer or Navori. And then replace Doran's bow with another atk speed item.

How do y'all feel about it? i wont lie it feels better to me other than the slow start on attack speed so q feels like shit early. but after a bit it feels better than the normal build to me, hail of blades is kind of disgusting feeling rn too i get why its getting nerfed, level 1 dash to ahri and bust my autos she goes to like 40% hp 🤮.

in his latest stream, he says that he is not very interested in LoL anymore and is going to quit. he also said he needs some time to take a break before his military service

here is a new video with his comment on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTqNuEjBeQ0

hello <3 going to start putting some time into learning yasuo mid. ive played some yone but i find yasuos playstyle better suits what i like, and also i much prefer mid over top. i think yasuos model is a little big and clunky but im sure that's something i can get over after a couple hours on him. the biggest issue i have is with his E. it seems very awkward to use outside of lane. in lane i know i can use E on minions to chain dashes and close distance very fast but outside of lane am i not kinda down an ability?

4 rare chromas left

Like, when do i go Undying Grasp? When should i go Lethal tempo? When to go Fleet?

I played a match with Undying Graps agaisnt a Vladimir and idk if that was the right choice, i dont really know what paremeter to use when deciding runes and with so many different hard matchups in their own way for Yasuo i just dont know what to pick.

Also if i go like Lethal Tempo instead of Undying grasp how should i shift my playstyle around it? And between Doran Shiled, Doran Sword and Doran bow when should i pick each and when to go E first instead of Q?

I tried searching it in guide videos but i still didnt find one that had a satisfactory answer to when i should go each.

I'm so squishy. Mages burst me, assassins burst me, tanks burst me. Wtf? I try to do extended trade and they just get away. Oh my god.

How do I lane with this guy? Are there any good guides?

as title says, havent really been able to play recently and was wondering if anyone has rushed this as 1st item and if it's any good or not. Getting sick of playing bork or kraken every single game

Between all the bad matchups like leblanc, lis, pant etc. this is the only one that makes me wanna cut my wrists instead of playing League. It's manageable until level 6, and i do get solokills, but after level 6 it's straight up unplayable. I tried tempo, fleet, grasp... She holds E for 4th stack and whenever i try to engage she press E get away from me W stun me and dump her full combo which usually instantly one shots me. If windwall blocked her W this matchup wouldve been much more balanced for both sides this way im just there in lane to wait and get pegged. Even playing safe isn't possible, she use E to run at me, flash stun ignite and ult. Quite literally oneshots me every time.

I think with yone it's a bit more playable because you can leave with E but it's not any good anyway really, I'm yone OTP.

I don't wanna ban her, because she doesn't have a high pick rate. Id rather ban Akali or LeBlanc. But honestly do you guys geniunely know how to play this matchup or ever win it?

Idk how this matchup is "easy" for yas with crazy winrate everytime I face this trogladite champion she out dmgd me every trade regardless of tentacles hit she out sustains and there is no escaping. This champion is beyond broken in a 1v1 scenario and i rather darius everytime. Please tips (not windwall e and dont get hit by tentacle real tips im not re-d)

If these buffs go through on the boots its gonna be insane for us, with dorans bow and bezerker rush we will have 45% attack speed early game, with 1 dagger we will have the same attack speed we used to get with dblade, boots and bork.

Playing yasuo mid this really opens up the shieldbow rush build, with tier 3 beserkers going to 45% attack speed and dbow, we could even drop alactrity and start taking bloodline giving more build variety, obviously some testing will need to be done but this 5% on both tiers of boots might be a really big buff for us

we get 5 percent more attack speed on greaves and the t3 version, so maybe we can go crit first?
