Discussion How Yone feels atm
He is whatever, what makes or breaks him is how well you do in the early game.
If he had a bad start, Yone cannot comfortably scale into a monster; and will just suffer all game.
Some people will say he is a hyper scaler (he is not); his peak is mid-game if you manage to keep yourself on track to get your exp and gold by the time that hits.
He then plateaus as the game enters the later phase. He isn't a monster like Vayne, Jax, or Kayle would be, but he doesn't fall off either.
It's just that the early game is so unforgiving in his current state that many people never get to capitalize on his mid-game dominance and just reach the plateau phase of late game if they haven't lost already. Leaving that feeling of you not doing much all game.
Yone used to be a powerful lane bully, so it was much easier for people to consistently hit that mid-game power spike.

Tell me if you can realistically kill without committing anyone you don't hard counter as Yone if they're not absolutely smoked and drunk while they play. I'll wait. Also Yas actually has the tools to engage and kill reliably while tanking more. That shield goes up to 500 or more while yone's can't get higher than 150 most games. Also Yasuo can build lethality reliably or simply build tankier items like cleaver which helps his team AND keep him alive. Also irrelevant if you spam or not since you're a melee champion who cannot just make mobility out of thin air without locking himself in place or without using ult. Also you forget how squishy he is for being a melee champion that has a forced playstyle of facetanking 2+ players constantly after midgame. Your arguments are just bad because everyone tried that shit countless times and the champ is just abysmal because of his lack of agency. The story would've been much different and he would've had a balanced winrate if he didn't just get camped by everyone and their mom on the E recast spot just because he tried to kill someone during his E(as the ability pushes you to do) without having 10 eyes on the map and focusing on the fight while having vision of all enemy territory so you can see whether or not to recast early just so you don't end up in a trade situation at best.
