Complete YSS Counter Discussion

Without further ado, let's get straight to the main discussion: countering YSS. If you can implement it well, you can be sure YSS will be defeated.

Meta

The discussion begins with the YSS counter meta. Essentially, this hero is very easy to counter if you know the meta to counter him. To do this, you must first understand his mechanics.

YSS himself is a hero who is only suitable for use as a jungler. Yes, to date, he is the hero with the fastest farming speed in the Land of Dawn.

Therefore, if you don't have a numerical advantage or a ganking advantage, don't even try to engage in a head-to-head battle in the early game. For the first Turtle, it's best to just use Clutch Steal instead of engaging in a contest.

That way, the team will at least have an advantage. Maintain this gameplay while remaining focused on objectives, and YSS will surely be overwhelmed!

So don't be surprised if YSS's effectiveness drops significantly in the higher tiers (Glory-Immortal): the players already have good discipline and understand how to counter it!

Spells

Next up is spells. In this roundup, we'll discuss at least a few spells you can use to counter YSS's movements. Here are some of them:

  • Flicker: This mobility spell can be a good choice to face YSS – both for evasive and combat purposes;
  • Purify/Aegis: These two spells are perfect for those looking to reduce YSS's effectiveness. Aegis can help block his burst, while Purify can neutralize the stun from his ultimate.

Items

Now, let's move on to the items. To do this, we need to understand the hero's mechanics. As a jungler, YSS deals physical damage with burst output. To do this, you can purchase:

  • Damage reducer: The best option for tanking YSS damage (even early game) is, of course, the Antique Cuirass.
  • Sustain items: To increase sustain, you can buy Immortality, Wind of Nature/Winter Truncheon

Finally, for the most anticipated part: YSS hero counters. There are several hero counters you can use to outplay YSS users:

Mid/Gold 

  • Harith: With one jump, this Leonin mage can avoid YSS's ultimate stun. He can also easily avoid critical melee hits and neutralize his passive.

Jungle:

  • Hanzo: Hayabusa's arch-enemy can be the best hero to match his farming speed.
  • Aamon: YSS's "back and forth" mechanics will be outpaced by the burst combos that Aamon can unleash.

EXP:

  • Minsitthar: Minsitthar's ultimate, which can block the movement of mobility heroes (blink), can prevent YSS from activating his passive – so it's similar to Miya!
  • Argus: For long-term fights, Argus can handle YSS. As long as you use your ultimate correctly, you can definitely win.

roam:

  • Franco: With his ultimate that can provide an instant suppressive effect (without casting time), the Viking can easily restrain YSS's mobility.
  • Kaja: Besides Franco, Kaja also has an ultimate that provides a suppressive effect. His ultimate's area of effect (AoE) is even larger.
