Heimerdinger cant win ad carry because of lifesteal builds. Heimerdinger is not PvP hero because he cant initiate fight, thus every kill he gets caused by enemy decision(mistake).

The thing is, you don't initiate, you just laugh at them while you zone them.

So I've been playing Lux a bit lately (again) and the matchup mid I have the most trouble with is Ahri. I guess it's because when I snare, I go into Laser Turret mode with an AA, E, R, AA. I usually get a charm to the face somewhere between the E and R and even if I dodge, she spirit rushes out of my laser at the end which kinda ruins my damage. She can also sustain... a lot.

Or you laugh at heimer while poking his turrets to death while being out of range and destroying him because of shitty armour

Ban Caitlyn, place turrets in the correct place and you win.

Jinx, Sivir and a good number of supports say hi.

Lux, Janna and Annie would probably be great at taking his turrets out.

He's laughably easy to lane against, but he is a teamfight force even if he has no damage.

He is a teamfight force even if he has no damage.

I'm not sure that's correct considering he's a melee carry like Yi and Tryndamere.

His "teamfight force" is his damage.

My point was if he is shut down, his damage won't quite be there, but the CC and wind wall is still there. The wind wall can essentially shut out an AP and ADC, leaving your divers and bruisers as your only real damage.

Fixed: but he is a teamfight force even if he has only statikk shiv

He was sitting at a 35% winrate or so in Bronze and ~40%-ish at Plat+. I think most people just don't want to take the chance they might finally get a decent Yasuo.

The biggest problem I have when playing Yasuo is that with even minimal lag/delay you are screwed. Wich is a shame, he is fun to play.

[Firebert]

He was sitting at a 35% winrate or so in Bronze and ~40%-ish at Plat+.

Just for completion's sake:

In Soloqueue (all regions):
42.75% win rate in Bronze
42.10% win rate in Silver
41.83% win rate in Gold
41.11% win rate in Platinum
40.41% win rate in Diamond
>42.5% win rate in Challenger

It's the other way around: Bronze players are (on average) better at Yasuo than anyone else except possibly Challengers (lack of information).

EDIT: In Challenger:
33.71% win rate in NA
>40% in EUW
>38.46% in EUNE

[Noxina]

The thing is that bronze players most likely dont know how to counter him, thus giving him higher win ratio, doubt it's because bronze players play him better than silver, gold etc.

I've only had a few normal games with him, he's alot of fun and high mobility. But I prefer more tanky top laners, so I dont even know why I bought him..

[Charge me Doctor]

Yasuo has great synergy with certain characters. I would like to see winrate with and without Malp, Ali, Janna, etc

[Acry]

mid vs orianna as yasuo
you will hate yourself

So I just played my first real proxy singed game. Holy fuck that is the best way to fuck a top laner over. I had 280 farm in 33 mins. My opponent Jax had 107. Also, seeing Amumu trying to kill me was hilarious. Hell, I dodged an Amumu ult after he Q'd me with ult and ghost.

well proxy signed is supposed to feed for pressure
but they fixed that you're worth gold to some equivalency of minions you have

I think it's something along the lines of you being worth as if you had 1 less death in your death spree for every 1000 gold, up to a maximum of 300 gold, aka starting point.

So I'm learning Sivir lately and fucking hell, whenever I see Jinx being locked in I know I'm fucked. Can't outrade or outpush her. Especially when I have a passive support. Any tips?
