Yasuo Maintains High Pick Rate in Bronze
In the world of League of Legends, there is one champion that is commonly associated with low-rank players. In Patch 13.11, this champion has managed to achieve the highest pick rate in the mid lane among Bronze players. However, despite being popular, Yasuo’s win rate remains disappointingly low.
According to the stats site U.GG, Yasuo currently holds a 16.2 percent pick rate among Bronze players, making him the fifth most picked champion in any role within this rank. Unfortunately, Yasuo struggles to find success in the mid lane, with a poor win rate of 49.55 percent.
It comes as no surprise that Yasuo is favored by lower-ranked players in League. Although he has a high skill ceiling, average players have always been drawn to him. There are even memes within the League community that poke fun at Bronze and Silver players who choose Yasuo but fail to carry the game. With his high pick rate but low win rate, these memes still hold true.
While Yasuo is indeed a strong pick that can single-handedly carry the game, mastering his kit requires a significant amount of work and understanding of the current meta. Additionally, having a well-coordinated team composition is crucial for Yasuo to effectively utilize his ultimate ability. Unfortunately, lower-ranked players in League are not known for clear communication and gameplay.

As Patch 13.12 approaches, launching on Wednesday, June 14, it is likely that Yasuo will maintain his position as the most-picked mid laner in Bronze. Despite any changes to the meta, Yasuo’s popularity among lower-ranked players remains consistent. In the world of League, there are three things that are certain—death, taxes, and Yasuo being picked in lower ranks.
