How is Yasuo up for buffs with a 50% win rate and 40% ban rate ?

Also adapting to new meta is a skill in itself, I believe testing that skill along with others at the biggest tournament in league makes sense.

They adapt to the meta all year long hence why they're at Worlds in the first place, wouldn't you actually want to see some sort mastery on the biggest stage rather than "who can adapt to the latest patch changes quickest"?

The game changes so damn fast nowadays that you hardly ever get to see true mastery at the pro level. New metas happen every couple patches, top champs flutter in and out of viability every other patch, and by the time one of the two tournaments come up everything gets flipped around on purpose.
