Why Everyone HATES Yone | League of Legends

ever since bars one took off back in 2021 a recurring joke on this channel was my immense hatred for Yana which In fairness isn't a very unpopular opinion to have on the champion countless players from Bron the Challenger have something to say about this guy and seldom is it ever positive he's a character who in the eyes of many is a prime example of the 200 years meme I myself have made countless videos either specifically on him or mentioning him and while in each of them I usually complain about how broken he is I haven't really made a formal video detailing exactly why people Harbor such a Negative sentiment towards y when it's because of confirmation bias or if there's something truly unique about the experience of playing or playing against him the kind of hate that people Foster towards Zona is different from the typical Champions who either get a lot of backlash because that's what everyone else is doing or due to a severe defect in their gameplay especially when on the receiving end of it so in today's video we'll be discussing the real reasons why everyone hates yon okay since we're going to be roasting the hell out of yon let's make sure everyone has something to you first as your favorite lunch break YouTuber I need to hook you up with some of the good stuff and my friends over at Factor are here once again to sponsor my channel as you know

sponsoring the video but for now time to roast my favorite champion as a member of the Slayer class in fact the only one who is part of both assassins and skirmishers Y has a very simple gameplay premise echoing a similar High DPS High Rush down play style as his younger brother he can deal ridiculous amounts of damage if you don't shut him down and in many occasions trying to do so is of utmost priority as his pressure is so extreme that it borders on hyper car status hyper cares are generally disliked for being the most anime main character Champs in the game even on the off chance a 1 v9 people don't really feel too good about having a Mastery jungle they would rather have someone more secure like a jarvin or a Mumu now the thing about Master E is that for all the DPS he carries he suffers from many critical weaknesses and that's always been the thing with Hyper carries CAD in VY cogma smolder their 1v9 potential is heavily restricted by the absence of a fallback as they invest virtually all of their power budget into damage and waste to exert damage it's all or nothing for them if things go well they go spectacularly and if things go poorly it's the worst case scenario such volatility does not lend itself to Great reception fluctuating between steamrolling games and being more useless than a cannon minion would in theory level up but but considering negativity bias players tend to remember the bad more than the good this sheer inconsistency is what makes hyper carries ironically bad at carrying games because the conditions you have to meet for them to get to their maximum strength is in many cases untenable where yet is that for the most part they can only play that role by that logic if an inconsistent archetype had a consistent Champion then they should be better received right in theory yes but hyper carries are the one archetype where consistency is actually worse than being inconsistent that is the guiding principle on why everyone hates yon he's one of if not the only hyper car in League of Legends who's not only consistent but difficult to respond to hyper cares are a deceptively weak archetype because they're easy to respond to how do you respond to Master E disruption anything interrupting his Temple for even a brief moment can be all you need to ruin his entire life how do you respond to cast and Bully his weak early game every hyper carry in some way shape or form has a point of vulnerability that can never be overcome by nature of the champion Yana is the one exception his kids engineered to be as difficult to respond to as possible meaning he will always be a threat no matter what let's go through a few scenarios starting with Burst when fighting against an assassin anything offering burst protection kind of grou Cur ster gaug small Mal morus edge of night will make their job more uncomfortable to perform yite can deal staggering front loaded damage if you layer his third cast of Mortal steel with Spirit cleave and vade sealed which can easily one-hot a squishy champion after you disengage a soul Unbound but in the event that proves insufficient he can still stay with this extreme DPS through Auto attacks and Q not to mention his W having a short cool down and Max attack speed this is where the whole y misses everything and still kills you m originates from if plan a bursting his opponent fails then he has a plan B simply Auto attack you to death other assassins may be able to keep fighting after the main combo but a lot more of their pressure is within the combo itself even if you survive y's burst combo his Threat Level doesn't go down when fighting against an auto attack Champion like trir kale or Jax anything that can slow attack speed or neutralize basic attack damage will make a huge difference in their capability Beyond straightforward durability items like fren heart counter these types of Champions While y is certainly attack speed and basic attack oriented he's also an ability Caster tabis on Frozen Heart won't do anything to diminish the damage of mortal steel spirally and fate sealed yon does just as much ability damage as he does basic attack damage basically he can bypass the typical weaknesses of an assassin and the typical weaknesses of an auto attacker but it goes beyond that let's talk about the damage itself High DPS physical damage units like Riven and trir are easy to deal with if you stack armor while high DPS magic damage units like copia and ciden crumble against them Mar however there are a few it in the game that give both armor and Magic resists at the same time understandably so as multi-resistance items would basically always be better than single resist ones this gives hybrid attackers like y a huge Advantage he deals a non-negligible amount of magic and true damage meaning trying to build armor against him will only be half as effective with that said the bulk of his DPS does still consist of physical so armor is your best bet but that magic damage can and will add up if you think you can respond to all three forms of damage by stacking Health instead he takes care of that too as he deals percent Health damage with W in addition to having a long running history of abusing blade of the ruin King basically nothing you built except maybe jocka will ever be fully effective against him even jocka is not that good as that's a late game purchase most of the time in the early to m game a small amount of Defense can make all the difference just building a tapies against a Fiora for example even though she does true damage will greatly reduce her pressure against you in lane or an early Warden smil against a trendir for instance defensive stats are the strongest in the early game before opponents have a chance to build void Staff ldr Black Cleaver and stuff which is why yon is so difficult to handle in Lane there are no early forms of defense that work well against him not efficient ones anyway he bypasses tabies to some extent he bypasses Bramble as well Warden mail Ruby Crystal just about anything now y's distribution of physical and Magic damage isn't quite as even as the likes of kale smolder and cogma but both are kept in check by a vulnerable early game which is the next bypass for y ever since lethal Tempo was changed to give ramping attack speed Y and yasua went from having lousy early games to Dangerously strong ones because that Rune is even more valuable on them compared to Jax trendir and such when it first came out in 11.23 it gave you up to 90% bonus attack speed at level one by attacking six times Yas Q applies on it effects meaning he was one of the fastest to stack this 90% attack speed is enough to reach the cool down cap on both his q and W So Not only would yna benefit from having 90% opponent attack speed for free easily the highest gold value out of any Keystone Rune by far but his q and W would also reach their lowest cool down by level two y would reach the equivalent power Spike of having a Berserker greases and a fully completed item minus the attack damage attack attack speed on him is exponentially beneficial in the early game since on aasu who only has one main damaging ability yon has three two of which have a cool down based on attack speed not ability haste it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that y was more than half responsible for lethal Tempo getting nerfed on melee Champions as many times as a did as a 14.4 it only gives 30% of level one but any amount of free attack speed on Y is exponentially more beneficial for him than anyone else in the game as it increases not just DPS but also its wave clear crowd control capability through q and survivability through W all that's to say yon's early game is not that bad it's not fantastic mind you he'll still get mized by anyone with a strong laning face like reekon or Pantheon but even against losing matchups Yona can hold his own and still get stuff done whether in lane or during fights a level three Yona is nowhere near helpess as a level three cassid in smolder or kale you can't even bully him that hard in landing face if the Y knows what he's doing his W Shield is big enough to allow him to come out of most traits at minimal damage and that same ability can be used for poke damage too moreover he has of course soul and b a low commitment way to get very strong trades in scaling wise he's one of the few hyper carries who reaches quote unquote full build with just two items whatever combination they may be with Bor and shield bow he starts drain tanking and shredding you to pieces Kraken Slayer and ie his autos and qes start doing 500 damage per hit back when H breaker was a thing he became the most powerful SLI Pusher in the game whether he went crit on hit effects or Bruiser y's mid game was insane in contrast Mastery needs around three plus items to start exploding people same for kill smolder cast it in vain pretty much everyone car spiking one item faster meant you had less time to abuse him than other Champions if you could even abuse him at all one more place of vulnerability for a hyper carry would be AOE pressure Champions like akan Fiora and Jax may have serviceable early games in comparison to other hyperscalers but no matter how strong they become they can only ever damage one person at a time so the idea is to play monkey in the Middle with them by exploiting their need for Target selection if Fiora is trying to kill the enemy ADC that leaves her open to getting free fired on by the mid laner and vice versa yon can bypass this problem as well all of his abilities deal AOE damage and have pretty generous coverage at that Q3 is a big AOE W is a humongous AOE that gets stronger when used against multiple enemies and fade seal not only has a massive area but unlying contact it Corrals all Targets neatly behind him so he can easily follow up with a Q to hit all of them jannis and assassin skirmisher hybrid two classes known more for this single Target pressure who can Team fight stronger than even Mages or 0 carries in the right conditions mind to he can never hold the candle to Oriana brand and such in that department but it's kind of like Riven where Yana is just as dangerous in 55 as he is in 1 v1s if not more so lastly having bought up Riven we have the final point of vulnerability for hypercase utility hypercase are all damage nothing but damage they carry a metric ton of damage but ultimately it's just damage that's a lot of damage on occasion they might have an ability that could be used supportively Jax's Counter-Strike being one of them but for the most part they have nothing but DPS to fall back on y however does have something he is AE knockups in his kit two very powerful ones at that in addition like I just said his ultimate's one of the best grouping tools in the game since it packs everyone's together right behind him making him one of the best Champions to set of Wombo combos since both this q and ultimate are knockups that means you can't deal with them by running merchs once again calling back to the whole idea of his kit being really difficult to respond to that's why everyone hates yon he's a champion who breaks the rules of the game more than anyone else a hyper L game scaler yet has a respectable early game amense DPS but can also burst and vice versa one of the best dualists and by extension split pushes in the game but can Team fight extremely well an auto attacker who can deal heavy ability damage skirmishers tend have bad neutral games and yet y has actually a very good one which is partly the reason he's capable of being played mid as well most players when ask why they hate y will default to say things like infinite Mobility or point fingers of Soul Unbound and sply which are definitely part of it but I think the principal cause of why he feels uniquely frustrating to deal with that's different from other Champions with infinite Mobility or broken abilities is that there doesn't seem to be a clear answer on how to beat him now one that works every time at least for example one of Kale's hardest counters has always been nases and while you would think nasis can beat ya he actually gets bullied by Yana one of trender man's hardest counters is Mal fight but Mal fight also has trouble against Yana for most of these 1v9 Champs especially top laners the best answer to them is usually a stat tracker like Renekton or morer who can effectively brw Force the way through all the BS that champion may have y is interesting though and that at a certain point he becomes a stat Checker too during the hall breaker metal last year he could dish out heavy DPS while face tanking all of yours so by two items he could out skill most Lane bullies a lot of Champions who counter him in Top Lane fall off like Renekton Pantheon Warick and Chase in the mid lane and he's more prone to being shut down by the lik saari Syra and copia but Yan mid can always roam so that's a mood Point that's what it boils down to you can never fully shut him down you always have to respect him even if he's 0 and 10 if you see an 0 And1 kale you can rest easy that she won't be a problem but you can never count out a yon he's a lot like the four horsse woman in that sense you always have to respect them which can be exhausting and frustrating anecdotally I had many games where I shut down the enemy Y and then rotated to get stuff done with my team only suddenly be unable to match him in Lane because he power spikes harder than most other Champs also this is kind of a nitpick but one last reason why I think he carries such a Negative reputation is that Riot appears to show blatant favoritism towards him he has very rarely if ever gotten nerfed anytime something related to yon gets nerfed like lethal Tempo or crit items he gets a compensation buff I remember when his W Shield got changed last year from 60 to 80 to 40 to 90 and then called it a Nerf even though it gives more Shield to higher levels and the base shield at level one was still higher than it was in season 13 it is very obvious they trying to not outright Nerf the guy meanwhile God forbid yor or Dr Mundo has a positive win rate in Diamond Plus for one single patch all Champions have a combination of strengths like even the hyper second PR earlier but they're all missing something vital kale deals hybrid damage and has area coverage and utility but she is arguably one of the worst leaning phases in the game smold to Deals hyperd damage AOE pressure and has a low-key safe leaning phas but he has no utility Jack has a strong leaning phas a token bit of utility in his kit and decent Mobility but he's mostly single Target y has everything though what doesn't he have like legitimately what does going to not have before you say he doesn't have sustain he builds fam septer items realistically I don't think he lacks anything it doesn't mean he's the best champion in the game but it sure is help makes him frustrating to shut down when he potentially has a response to anything while you really can't do the same to him but yeah that's altogether why Y is so Wily hated even though statistically he stays below a 50% win rate it's that feeling of him not having a definitive weakness and never truly being down for the account that makes him stand out over other Champions the combination of abilities in this repertoire and the implications behind result in a champion who theoretically has no weakness in practice he is quite a bit many of which having to do with execution and that he's surprisingly difficult to play effectively but it's no mystery why so many Challenger top in midlaners play yon okay that wraps up my video on why everyone hates yon it's surprising that I've been making leak videos for almost 4 years and never made a true dedicated video on what about Yana makes him so hated I made videos on why he's overloaded or joke videos about how much I hate him but never a proper serious discussion and don't worry this won't be the last time either for as long as I live I will continue to bash the guy anyways if you guys enjoy the video it would be great if you could leave a like And subscribe don't forget to follow my Twitter at VAR join my Discord server and check out my episodes on Tom kench and Sho if you haven't yet but till next time thanks so much for watching and I look forward to seeing you again soon take care [Music]
