Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
IMO the problem Arbitrary describes stems from poor champ design which is the reason yi/xin have to be constantly nerfed. They can absolutely want shit to be on the same level but I feel the only way champs on the lines of xin/yi are going to exist in the jungle is by changing their kits.
@The Ancient- What else are you going to revamp instead of the jg to make a broader set of champs viable and more strategy in to league without changing the core game? Buffs/nerfs/reworks aside there really isn't much else. The jungle is so lame and static these days. I mean shit you even see pros getting caught in their own jungle looking around the map for shit to do. I think I spend more time looking around the map then actually jungling when I jungle.

Yasuo has had one of the lower winrates for a while and still the second highest banrate out there, and now two more nerfs. He's my favorite champion but I just dunno how much nerfing he can take before he implodes. Hopefully this'll be the last straw and people let him actually past the ban phase and maybe a buff or two will trickle back in.

Yasuos problem is how memorable he is when he absolutely roflstomps a game. No one even thinks about the 90% of Yasuos they see getting shit on in lane phase, everyone is always just salty about that one that came out of lane 5-0 and quadras their team 3 times in a row.
You must correctly align the RNG gods to consistently fight on your side for the major crits, only then have you truly mastered GP.

Ezreal buffs! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. He's no doubt my favorite ADC. I'm blue baby! I don't adc much, but I could play Ezreal (blue or not) every single game and not get bored. Ashe is pretty awesome too.
I've also done some GP games somewhat recently. I love starting flask + pots and just maxing + mass farming with Q, especially better now since you get mana back on kill with it. Sometimes I even rush Chalice just to have infinite sustain in lane. Max R > Q > E > W. His ult change is awesome because I just use it to steal farm, and now it will steal that whole 3 waves that got built up bottom that my adc was running towards, rather than RNGing only 1/2 of it. hahaha.

Anyone play new Sion yet? On paper his ratios seems too high especially with his ridiculous cc. A fully charged ult is 1.75 second stun + 3 second 40/45/50% slow, which is plenty of time to get a fully charged Q which is ANOTHER 2.25 second stun. 4 seconds of stun/knockback + 3 second slow = 7 second wtfpwncc R+Q combo.

It appears to happen to 55% of Yasuo's, though. Or at least something bad does. Certainly more than enough to not warrant a 70% fucking banrate when there's way more consistent champions out there, but that's pub games for you.
His ratios are high but if you build more than one offensive item on him, you probably won't be utilizing them more than once in a blue moon. Landing a fully charged ult is super hard without CC from an ally, landing a fully charged Q is impossible without CC from your ult/ally/enemy incompetence. He's very immobile compared to a ton of champions, his ult looks like it adds mobility to his kit but it really doesn't in practice. Don't get me wrong, landing a charged ult + charged Q is hilarious and terrifying but it's an edge case.

He's fun as hell so far, but I question how useful he'll be. I can see him maybe being good on an otherwise CC-heavy team to just stack massive stuns/knockups but on his own you're going to spend most of your time trying to get in range of people who matter, and I feel like once you actually do get in range you'd be better off just being Darius at that point.
I think he might have a home in the jungle at least. Clears aren't bad and he stays fairly high health with his shield. Ancient Golem has some interesting end game scaling implications with his W passive as well.

I am in such a bad place with this game right now. I am actually being one of the toxic people, I find myself arguing in chat constantly and dropping F bombs on people as often as a McDonalds employee asks if you want fries. It's funny because up until a month ago I do not think I had cursed once in game chat. This community wears you down until you become one with it 
I am just tired of trying so hard to get better only to be held back by fuck faces that I have now become a fuckface myself.

yea, at least you can admit to being a fuckface, that's a step in the right direction. Now if you can find the willpower to simply ignore the others and focus on your game you might see the results you hope for. I traveled down your path a long time ago and it leads nowhere good. I might have the brief lapse of judgement from time-to-time but for the most part I don't rage anymore.
Basically when I first got to gold it was when I finally adopted the attitude that "everyone else is terrible, I'll have to carry". If I lose a game I simply couldn't carry. Nowadays I have relaxed a bit on that attitude and I try to be a team player, but being a team player has kinda kept me in limbo hovering in low gold. I pick team oriented champs like Syndra mid, whom I've played ~200 games with and only have a 50.7% win rate. I've lost tons of syndra games where I had 15+ kills yet due to being on a team oriented champ, I couldn't use the gold to carry hard enough.
Ideally you need confidence in your abilities and you need to play champs that can carry such as:
Top lane: Tryndamere/Riven/Jax
Mid: Yasuo/Katarina/Akali
Jungle: Kha Zix/Pantheon/Udyr(cough)
ADC: Trist/Lucian
Support: Morgana/Leona/Thresh
My advice is cut the attitude fast, at least get out your rage before season 5 and start learning ways to carry yourself.
You will always have bad games, learn to avoid raging back when teammates rage at you. Take your loss and move on fresh.
Teammates will always have bad games, learn to avoid raging and step up your game to carry them.
Losses will happen and can be devastating for morale. Keep calm, move on fresh, the best advice is if you lose 2-3 in a row, walk away and try again later.
I've also found that if I win a couple and walk away I tend to develop much longer win streaks. I've had days where I played 10-15 games in a row and I'd be lucky to be even at the end, then I'd have streaks of 15+ wins by just logging in for 1-2 games, winning, and stopping until the next day.

I have personally found that lately I have completely not given a fuck any more when I played ranked. In doing this I win way more now. When I was going super try hard it was a lot of losses. Also it would seem the latest thing I am running in to is everybody wants to tell me how to build/what I should build or how I should play before the game even starts. I even have some say things in game and you say something back or nah I am good and they mute you lol. This has to be the most amusing shit I have run in to lately.
I see what you did there Fawe!
Should add from a pure carrying perspective:
Top lane: Ryze, Kayle, Rumble
Mid lane: Fizz/Zed/Jayce
Jungle: Yi (The better Udyr)
