 * Sigh* I think I'm being way too harsh on him.

He's so damn fun to play, dashing around every fraction of a second, knocking people up, protecting the team, isolating the enemy's melee fighters from their ranged ones, boosting the power of ally's knockup abilities. Yasuo can do all this stuff.

He reminds me so much of a Dota character, something like Phantom Assassin or Faceless Void. A great hard-carry which can look at an enemy and they die lategame. Unfortunately he also reminds me of their early game, where if they even try to get close to the creep-wave before they're at least level 7 they'll get zoned and harassed. It just doesn't work in League.

I wanted him to be so much better than he turned out. Now I have to blink and doubletake if I see him win a lane, and it's always because the enemy didn't do something they should have, like ward for ganks or let Yasuo engage on them with full shield.

I really hope I'm wrong and a few months later he turns out good. Or the meta switches and the support accompanies him wherever he goes for 10 levels before he hits his powerspike.
