Tips Against Yasuo in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
step1v9 says “Yasuo generally wins this matchup at levels 1-3, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't touch the wave at all. Try to tether (move in and out of the range) his Q and look for autos while his Q is on CD. If you can't auto him auto the wave. If his passive is up ALWAYS E away to avoid it soaking up damage. Once you're both 6, look to all-in when he doesn't have access to a minion wave. It's better to fight him under his tower even than fight him in a minion wave.”
BurnVictim69 says “Extremely boring matchup for you. His passive makes it hard for Brand to do what he does best as it practically negates the W+E or Q+E combo on the wave. Try to bait his passive out with a basic attack before you cast any spells, hold onto at least two of your spells with one always being your Q so you can stun him if he tries to engage. Once you've completed Rylai's the matchup becomes much easier and you are actually able to compete.”
Quinfrey says “I recommend buying:
[[Tiamat]] early for his shield
Eon second for his tornados.
He will think he's good and dash the whole time, when he dashes to you just [[Vault]] him and he will cry.
When he uses [[wind wall]] just wait a bit and then trade further. (Don't use [[Blinding Assault]] because it eats anything that comes even a little to close).
When he uses [[Last Breath]] just [[Vault]] and run away and you should be fine.
TIP: When he has his third Q ( [[Steel Tempest]]) he will probably dash to you, just [[Vault]] him and use your [[Harrier]] movement speed to dodge his tornado. They never expect this.”
Acidmoroman says “Yasuo is one of the champs that can either make you win, or make you lose, no middle points. He will be aggressive, your ghouls are dash material for him and his ult armor penetration gives him more than enough to kill you, but... if you play for W on you, with your ghouls inside the W... he is made of paper early, wont win at that range, good luck.”
Peng04 says “- Always think the angles Yasuo can E to and play around that
- Windwall is 25 Second so play around that
- He cannot E to the Same minion 2 times whitin 10 second”
Corzn says “Yasuo represents every fighter champion in the mid lane. They are extremly strong in a 1v1, but since mid lane is a short lane you can always outplay or outsmart them. Be careful and play smart and you will be fine.”
IndigoDemonia says “Boring champ that will just wait for you to engage and use his wall to dodge your charm, time your abilities well and make sure you destroy him early. Fed Yasuo will make you roam because of a lost lane.”
The Veigar says “Go for mobility build and dodge.
Do not use your R Far Away when he has Windwall
TIP: If you want to Burst him and he has W, go inside him and DO Q-R They usually won't Expect that”
ChessScholar says “Not as bad with Seraphs, but still tricky. Trick him with the "hold W-Stun above head while throwing Q" so Wind-Wall doesn't block your stun, and can make him waste it. Just walk around.”
mike gala says “1. Wind Wall Nullifies Sylas's Main Skills
Yasuo's W (Wind Wall) is the biggest reason this matchup is unbearable. It blocks Sylas's Q (explosive chain), his E dash if initiated from a distance, and even his stolen ultimate (if it's from a champion with a projectile).
This means that, in short fights, much of Sylas's damage and control can be negated with a well-placed button.
2. Short and Frequent Trades
Yasuo, like Yone, trades constantly, with constant Qs, high mobility with minions (spamable E), and early crits with Greaves + Shieldbow.
Meanwhile, Sylas needs time and patience to fight: he only shines when he can extend trades and abuse the healing from his W. Yasuo rarely lets this happen.
3. Extreme Mobility
Yasuo can constantly jump on minions with his E, making it VERY difficult for Sylas to land any skill, especially the E2 + W combo.
If Sylas misses a skill, he's immediately punished. And because Yasuo relies on reflexes and constant repositioning, Sylas often misses or runs out of safe engage windows.
4. Constant and Unpredictable Damage
Yasuo's physical damage mixes with true damage from his crit passive, plus the tornado from his Q and area damage from his R. Sylas, who doesn't usually build armor early, gets crushed in trades, especially before he locks down his first items.”
Kyle007 says “Best to Just ban [[Yasuo]]. He will always [[Wind Wall]] the [[Flash Frost]]. Even if you 5/0 him he will synergize with other champs and intertupt your ultimate”
Jumpman25th says “Take standard page and Q max
Freeze near your wave and try to poke flow shield off before using W when you can.
Save your ult for his ult and try to flip him into tower. Ludens is great into Yas since it pokes off flow shield for free and lets you clear waves easily.”
KingBranco says “Tips: You can hit through windwall with MELEE Q/Auto Attack. Focus on hitting him once to get rid of his shield before going for a full trade. Long trades tend to be bad if they have lethal Tempo. Ideally wait with ult until they used windwall. You can W his ranged Q. You can E towards him when he EQ's you to swap places and avoid knockup. ”
tspeach says “Yasuo is a manageable matchup for Qiyana if you play smart. His Wind Wall (W) can block your Q and R, so bait it out before committing to your combo. Keep the wave near your tower early to limit his engage potential. At level 3, look for trades when his Wind Wall is down. Post-6, be cautious of his ultimate; avoid extended trades and burst him quickly. Edge of Night is a solid pickup to block his knock-up combo. If he plays safe, use your superior roaming to impact other lanes.”
Marex_je_u_bushu says “Same as malzahar he can kill your entire pack with e q combo and your rendered useless after that. If you stay even with him you will lose since his champ is just stronger so you need to make good roams and try to scale better than him. Take doran blade”
yJustSad says “Both brothers use a lot of shields, which makes it hard to get them low enough to one-shot in lane. They’ll also outscale you after two items if you’re not careful.”
Lymphocyte says “his passive shield blocks your poke,
his W blocks your Q and R
rushes lifesteal for even more sustain.
just pushes non-stop and never gives you prio..
you don't win 1v1.
stay healthy and farm up..”
22automail says “contrary to popular belief yasuo isnt as easy as it looks. his shield is pretty tough to deal with along with his dashes. He also takes tempo which can be challenging to deal with. you want to do short trades with yas and remove his shield with either a cheeky auto or W”
PaciF1ka says “снимаешь сначала его пассивный щит,потом байтишь его на стену,если ты попал под его ульт поздравляю,надо снова проходить через щит!Рывки туда-сюда ты должен запредиктить куда он прыгнет,либо вообще драться без крипов!
you take off his passive shield first, then you hit him on the wall, if you hit his ult, congratulations, you have to go through the shield again!Jerking back and forth, you have to predict where he will jump, or even fight without creeps!”
Divine Azir says “Very easy to abuse his shot range. Stand outside of your wave so he can't easily E onto you to trade. Keep track of his Q3. It is his only CC, so you will have to know when it is up. He will try to freeze on his side of the lane to run you down, so abuse your range advantage to freeze on your side instead. If he ever wastes wind wall, you can all in him with a shuffle.”
AuroraAddict says “Yasuo wont be that hard just try to land your Q into the enemy wave and recast them all together on him, like this you will be able to trade him very well, play only with hes mistakes.Also you should go electrocute ignite is also good if you are confident for a kill--if not just go teleport.”
BesXbola says “O Yasuo e bem mais complicado que o yone, mas ainda e bem tranquilo de ganhar dele. Se ele usar o E voce usa seus auto ataques com a passiva para pokear ele e se ele virar em voce apenas de fear nele com o Q ou o W, o unico jeito que ele pode te matar e se ele acertar a ult dele enquanto voce nao esta com a passiva pronta, entao nao gaste ela de forma inconsequente.
Os seus ataques com passiva passam pela parede dele e o W tambem.”
Dom1nus says “he has kill pressure at lvl 1 and 2. At level 3 u can all in him, auto him to get his passive shield off and poke him at lvl 2 with e and q. At level 3 if he has 50% hp or less, auto him to wore off his passive and with empowered w kill him doing a full trade plus ignite, After the first kill the lane is free.”
ArcaneHerald says “not easy to lane into but not hard to beat after lane/ items.
yasuo without items 10/10 beats viktor without items.
just play with respect early and he will make stupid adhd plays. + u will outscale.”
Badplank says “Hasagi brothers are simply too strong to handle. They buy scepter so now they outheal your damage + their kit allows them to just outdamage you and keep you where they want you to be. You need to keep wave under your turret or you die.”
AlexFL7000 says “If you play safe and poke he's not so bad. You can try to play aggressive versus him but make sure not to let him e through minions straight into you or else you will lose”
SOMATICUS says “If the yasuo knows what he's doing then you probably have no chance (especially because of that windwall negating 90% of your abilities)”
Lunar1v9 says “Can go either way ,try to take lethal thempo and fist him level 1 to kill then take lead and win. A BIG tip here is to go bow first recall so u can farm better and u can also trade with him a bit more since both of u are auto attackers with melee ranged ( until u turn 6)
”
GAMING ACADEMY says “Yasuo can be a challenging matchup, especially if the enemy team has a strong AP jungler. The key is to manage your mana carefully—only use abilities when you’re confident they’ll hit, as running out of mana will leave you vulnerable. Phase Rush and Teleport are highly recommended for this matchup.”
zSmoke says “Being online against Yasuo is complicated because he will always win the trades, and if he has Grasp. You can only beat him by going Conqueror. And to beat him with Conqueror you need the first 3 items and Randiun's.”
Laimaudeja says “Aurora faces trouble against skirmishers, as their dueling potential far exceed her own and make her laning phase quite miserable, while also making sidelaning completely impossible.”
xumi_k says “He’s stronger than you in late game. Kill him lvl 2-3. Never fight him lvl 1. Yasuo has a very strong lvl 1 and quite weak lvl 2-3 compared to most champs, quite paradoxical, but it is as it is.Never all-in him without baiting windwall first. If he’s not blind, he’ll W your upcoming E or your ult. Your E cooldown is shorter than his wall, so you have a window to kill him before he uses the wall again. Overall, a skill matchup. A bit harder if he has lethal tempo. Don't forget that both Yasuo and Yone are item and farm dependent. That's why they both outscale you in late game if you don't snowball.
Hasagi!
P.S. (you can actually fight him lvl 1 if use your AA range properly and start with E)”
stefanko says “Probably the best Jax matchup in the whole game, dont get spaced by Yasuo q level 1, level 2 always start trades with your e, never q on yasuo, especially if he has minions he can use to dash through, cause then he can kite your e. Level 6 you hard win all ins. (lt, tp)”
Tamikaze says “[Hourglass Second Item & Exhaust is viable]
This can be a tough matchup if the Yasuo player is good. Typically, post 6 you will win, because Yasuo players refuse to play safe. They will almost always put themselves in a position to be ulted under tower.
Some tips to keep in mind: You can buffer his Q3 knock up with your ult to prevent him from ulting (you are both airborne at the same time). His windwall can block your ultimate (unbelievable interaction) and it can block your Q as well. Keep your distance from the wave to prevent him from dashing on you early.
Lastly, if you ult him under tower keep your distance from him so he doesn't dash to you over your wall right afterwards.”
MattStyle says “No es un match up particularmente difícil pero sí MUY molesto. Excesiva movilidad al igual que Irelia y su muro de viento impide que puedas acertarle tus bombas incluso aunque tengas la puntería perfecta. Intenta baitear su muro lanzando una sola Q. No lances dos seguidas al menos de que lo tenga en enfriamiento.
No debería poder matarte si juegas correctamente y con ayuda de tu JG pueden conseguir un asesinato (siempre y cuando haya gastado su muro). ”
j4ss says “Annoying but braindead, so you can bait him down to death. Rush plated and full crit. Play with team and punish his ult. freeze and call for ganks, if he tries to end your freeze, retaliate without hurting the freeze.”
MachineHeraldTTV says “Runes: [Aery][Gathering]
Summs: [Flash][Teleport]
Counter with: 2nd item [zhonya's]
*he plays Fleet, Second wind + Dshield so you should try to scale a bit too. [Blackfire Torch] is better option here, you can win 1v1 after you use everything and press zhonyas on his Tornado*”
Tatsurion says “NOW THIS DOES SEEM SURPRISING.
Listen, a good yasuo will always give you a run for your money, but a good azir will ALWAYS beat a yasuo no matter how good. There are very specific rules when it comes to fighting this man alone, but it should make the lane feel like a breeze.
Neither yasuo nor yone are that strong now that lethal tempo is gone. so you wont see them much. IF, however, you happen to come across them, heres what you do:
Any keystone works, grasp especially.
Take barrier, you will use it to bait his ult and shuffle him under turret. Remember when you do this to keep your distance from him, or he will E off of you and get out of the turret.
His windwall does NOT block your laser AA's OR soldier AA's, but he does block your ult and Q, no yasuo player knows this, so make sure so poke him with your basic attacks through the windwall.
NEVER all in him unless he is 10000% going to die, you want to make this man as useless as you can, thats your victory here, do not settle for going equal in this lane.
It takes a lot of practise, without which he is a Major threat, but after some matches youll know what to do.”
gimmelovej says “Just farm, Yasuo is difficult to kill alone, players like to make different and risky moves, try to look for opportunities in Ganks, Roam, Objectives or Yasuo's mistakes.
”
TryMeIfUDare says “YASUO CAN EASILY BE UR BAN CAUSE IS MORE PLAYABLE THAN FIZZ AND HE CAN COUNTER UR AIRBORNE AND ULT BUT IF U PLAY IT SMART U CAN WIN HIM ”
GreenReapers says “Any page viable.
Long Sword start, if you want to fight very aggressively with Conqueror go D-Shield.
Yasuo is way stronger than you in the early game, if you don't have Conqueror and even then he's still stronger if you don't hit your Q's.
Poke and stay safe. Dodging his Q3 with a shadow into an engage is an option if you think you can win. His E and W can make it really hard to hit Q's, especially since good yasuos will stay with their wall to protect them further. Not using all your burst at once and baiting his W can make a big impact on your all in's. If you don't throw everything against his Windwall you should win all ins post mid to late.”
support_diff says “Yasuo is a melee fighter that has an infamous 0/10 powerspike and is known for inting with various styles. However, Yasuo can dash to you, knock you up, hit you with both his auto attacks and his Q, teleport to you if he manages to knock you up etc. If you are close to minions, a good Yasuo player will always find a way to get near you. When he gets near you, he can put his windwall between you two so you can't hit him back when he hits you. Your only chance is to farm (you won't outfarm him) and wait for your jungler to gank”
Shifty says “Yasuo's wind wall blocks almost all of your attacks. A good Yasuo player will tear you apart if you let him. Luckily most of them will int or quit the game.”
vitya331 says “Yasuo is not a hard match up since he is melee you just need to survive early levels and after you can easily kill him but be careful because he can dodge your E by jumping on a minion and cancel your Q and R but his windwall.”
Chikei says “Play around his windwall. Dont use E until he uses his wall. You can easily land E on level 2 if he dashes in you. IF HE USES WALL TO PROTECT HIMSELF JUST THROW IT AROUND THE WINDWALL
you can use exhaust flash”
Sandro subacado says “Ele pode bloquear seu E e seu R com sua barreira. Não troque com ele até o level 3, antes de uma troca, sempre utilize seu Q para tirar o escudo de sua passiva.”
TwTv Akai_Tv says “[PTA] Yasuo hard counters Akshan as he can E into you so you cannot E out, and his Windwall gives him long trading windows during which you cannot trade back. You can Hard win vs Yasuo lane lvl 1 and lvl 2, try to poke him but start respecting him after lvl 3. Just try to get high CS in this matchup and play with your team.”
Nuk3Th3Gam3r says “Preface: This ranking is partially based on the fact that this is a skill match up if you have fought a Yasuo before.
I believe he is harder than Yone but respecting his passive can help a lot. He really isn't a great matchup for this build, at least, not early. He will likely play safe and due to his passive shield not proccing until he takes damage it can be a bit of an upward battle to defeat him. However, with this build and the removal of LT you can easily outdamage and outscale him at least for the mid game. If you beware and respect his Sweeping Blade (E) and it's ability to allow him to dash to your minions and ghouls this match up is not the worst thing for you. ”
ic3e says “No lethal tempo will be easier to deal with. You can 1v1 him with pickaxe and so on. You hard outscale him with this build. Do short trades and all in when he's below 50%”
Cursedlucie says “Injogável, sempre farme debaixo da torre e aguarde o jungle, essa match haverá pouca troca, pois a mobilidade inimiga é de alto nível.”
MelodiesOfLIfe says “His W counters your whole existence. You magically hit him with your Q? lol no he has a passive shield lol get sucked. My ban almost all my match.”
SkandalloTV says “All about not giving kills and going even on farm. Be patient about his wind wall. It is the most broken thing against Irelia. It can block her E after both casts and can block your ultimate. Focus on farming and doing damage in team fights.”
otaliz says “Try to keep the wave just in front of your turret's range to limit his E and wait for ganks. Yasuo's most important thing is his W, which can block Twisted Fate's W, so try to bait his W by Pick a Card and then using Q, the animation of Q and Twisted Fate's auto attack is similar.”
CrazyMatt02 says “With his "E", via minions, he gets close to you very quickly and will unload all his attacks on you (even worse when he unlocks the ultimate). instead, when you unlock the "W", you block all the hits you make even with the auto-attack, preventing you from doing damage”
PhantasmEUW says “[PTA] Yasuo hard counters Akshan as he can E into you so you cannot E out, and his Windwall gives him long trading windows during which you cannot trade back.
You can Hard win vs Yasuo lane lvl 1 and lvl 2, try to poke him but start respecting him after lvl 3. Just try to get high CS in this matchup and play with your team.”
michaliis says “Go Dorans Blade. Skill Match up. Really nothing more to say. Just try to get him away from minions or something he can dash to. Then you can kill him more easily.”
Laimaudeja says “Yasuo is extremely difficult for Ziggs to kill due to [[Way of the Wanderer]] and [[Wind Wall]], as well as him usually taking [[Second Wind]] in his runes, so I recommend using [[First Strike]] in this lane over [[Summon Aery]] to get some gold through poke damage over kills.
When the game starts, first verify whether Yasuo has [[Steel Tempest]] or [[Sweeping Blade]]. Should he have Sweeping Blade, you must play much more defensively, as Ziggs cannot deal with the mobility Yasuo would have at the start of the game. Keep your distance from allied minions so he can't dash onto you and deal a big chunk of damage.
Be careful about when to use [[Satchel Charge]] for self-defense, as a well-timed [[Wind Wall]] can doom you. Try to make him use it prematurely by throwing out a [[Bouncing Bomb]] or [[Hexplosive Minefield]].
You should mainly look for skirmishes in the jungle or side lanes in this matchup, as Yasuo isn't particularly good at roaming, nor strong in skirmishes without being backed up by minions. Even so, be very intentional with when you push out the wave, as a freeze can completely screw you over due to Yasuo favouring a longer lane to chase you down, with there being little you can do to stop him.”
Yannou-Ari says “I just permaban this champ, his entire kit counters you : wall, dashes etc. I don't really have advices against him. Dodge or good luck!”
Fienny says “Yasuo favoured. He wins all trades unless no minons he can jump to catch up with you. Take electro, you will be able to oneshot him eventually”
FrostbiteMW says “Hard to abuse him pre 6, since he can dash around alot and dodge your damage. After 6 you cant play aggressive aswell, since he can 1v1 you easily at that time. So try to play safe.”
awawa says “Lethal got deleted lmao the champion doesn't exist, he can't even win long trades against you XD
Proc wind shield - fear his engage - oneshot him with your combo. Profit.
Make sure to thank him if he makes your life easier by dashing through creeps. Dont be dumb enough to R when hes got windwall up.”
SilentScorn says “Alright this guy is a Threat if he knows how to play. Most of them does not know how to play in my elo so higher the elo harder to win against him. Try to bait his shield with AA and bait his wall with WE. Do not try to fear him. You are going to miss most of the time. EW works better if you have time. ”
MageSept says “Yasuo's windwall and dashes are extremely hard to play around as Veigar. His kit counters yours pretty well, making him a very challenging champion to face during laning phase (0-14 minutes).
Bone plating is recommended, but he can still remove it with a tornado so act very carefully when your BP is down.
Laning Yasuo as Veigar is difficult but patience is key here. If you're able to make the game last long enough, you'll have the advantage.”
ShokLoL says “Yasuo has a very strong 1v1 laning phase but is extremely gankable and isn’t very good at using his priority. This means you will want to keep the wave on your side for the most part which will keep you safe from his extended trades and put him in a gankable position. Try keep wards down to make sure he doesn’t get a roam off for free and play to go as even as you can in the lane phase and then outperform him in teamfights. Be careful because he can windwall your ball which will cause it to stop at the windwall.
”

”
Soft Headpats says “> I only have Yasuo under "Extreme" because this is often a completely uninteractive lane for both sides. Your only goal is to farm up and survive for teamfights.
> A good Yasuo can be a nightmare to deal with in the laning phase. Be ready to start [color=#8E44AD]E[/color], since some Yasuos will start [[Sweeping Blade]] (E) and immediately jump onto you for trades.
> Your cast times and skillshots are all fairly slow, allowing him to easily react with his [[Wind Wall]] (W) to block everything.
> His mobility is flexible, but as a result he does tend to push the wave as he dashes and stacks his [[Steel Tempest]] (Q), so he can be gankable if you keep the wave towards your side.
> Always pay attention to your minion wave, since he can choose to dash through the whole thing and stick onto you.
> Sidelaning against him is extremely dangerous. You should always be prepared for him to hide in fog to catch you by surprise. Just clear waves and stick to your team whenever possible.

AWierdShoe says “Be careful to not take extended trades level 1-2. Only do short trades when you have a full minion wave he can’t fight inside. Once you hit level 3 though, you can start winning trades using your W and keeping your E for disengaging if he ever tries to all-in you. Once he grows low and you wanna finish him off but he’s dashing around everywhere, a tip to hit your taunt is to look which minion is the obvious “dash-target”, and once he starts that E just instantly taunt the spot he’s gonna arrive at.
”
Deceiver_euw says “Similar to irelia, yasuo has to play very aggressive if he wants to beat LeBlanc 1v1. This leaves him very vulnerable to ganks and punishing LeBlanc in lane as yasuo is already hard enough 1v1 cuz she is too mobile. He is still higher Threat than Irelia since his Kit does better into LeBlanc cuz of Windwall. Make sure to have good trigger discipline and patience vs yasuo because he will usually use his windwall very early in trades. At lvl6 you can play with your dashes well to keep distance from his high mobility and keep in mind that he is not as hard to fight when there are no minions to dash to nearby. Make sure to respect his lethal tempo and not commit to an all in too soon.”
Paczo says “I don't know but Yasuo and yone mains have something with their brains, they just NEED to hit you.
Throw them under your tower and go roam.”
ShokLoL says “Yasuo is pretty strong in lane but he's very gankable. You need to be very careful being pushed up and for the most part will want to keep the wave on your side of the lane. Try avoid any 1v1 fights and you should outperform him in teamfights.”
vSomnia says “Dodge as many Q's as you can. When he dashes on you try to auto attack him and finish passive proc with E. Only use Q when you know he has no wind wall or he will fend it off, causing you to lose a lot of damage. Take electrocute since extended fights are yasuo favored.
Sometimes you can bait him, by getting get by his tornado Q when you and him are kinda low and portal yourself so when he ults he get stunned and you have free R on him. (Situational) I don't suggest to catch every Q he throws to do this haha.”
InTaggar says “ENG: That's normally an easy matchup, but u need to have caution on the trades. Try to poke him with spacing so he can't get to you. Post LVL 6 if he hits u with his Q, put ur W bellow u to stun him easyer.
Runes: Aery with Scorch.
Spells: TP/Extenuar.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESP: Normalmente es un enfrentamiento fácil, lo único con lo que tenés que tener cuidado es en los tradeos, siempre tenes que estar haciendo spacing para que el no pueda acercarse, pockealo lo más que puedas y si después de LVL 6 te pega con el tornado, automáticamente tirá la W debajo tuyo.
Por lo general evoluciono la Q para dificultarle que él llegue a mi, pero a veces evoluciono la E para pushear más rapido y ayudar a mi equipo.
Runas: Aery + Scorch.
Spells: TP/Extenuar”
MasaruYoni says “If you are against an Yasuo, farm the early laning phase cause your brother have less cd on q and more movement, try to stay not inside your minion wave making him close spacing with you and going out easily, poke him with W when in range to break his passive shield, you can try to fight him back after he try to hit you with a ranged tornado dodging it with your e on the side but watch out cause his W can block your ending third Q making you take more dmg”
Kikife says “The best way to deal with Yasuo is to wait for his wind wall to be down, for him to have no Q stacks at the time and then go for an engage that way. Once he has his first boots item, only poke down and avoid Q tornado whilst staying on your side of lane to back to tower should he hit and ult.
Also beware of him dashing through the wave and E away if he does. Play safe whilst stacking Q and then gank other lanes as it's hard to win a one on one with Yasuo without supremely good positioning. Yasuo W also blocks your ult as well as all of your other abilities, so stay clear in the early laning phase and don't engage unless your jungler can peel hard.”
Axsanea says “[EN]
keep short trades, and let him outplay himself, he will win long trades, also, use your "Q" to take out his passive, and "W" to engage + AA (PASSIVE) and "E" in case he engage on you so you can go out of his range, and repeat, if both are low, your opportunities to win are higher even if he has ignite. Keep the wave near of your tower, and play around it. If you engage with your "E" and fail the second cast, probably he will run you down, and ended up winning the match up.
[ES]
Manten tus tradeos cortos y deja que se outplayee el mismo, el ganará tradeos largos, además, usa tu "Q" para eliminar su pasiva y tu "W" para enganchar + AA (PASIVA) y "E" en caso de que quiera responderte asi puedes salir de su alcance y te vas en ese patron basicamente, si ambos estan bajos de vida, tus oportunidades de ganar son mayores incluso si él tiene ignite. Mantén la wave cerca de tu torre y juega alrededor de eso. Si enganchas con tu "E" y fallas el segundo lanzamiento, probablemente terminará ganando el tradeo.”
gaarrett says “Extremely annoying, even without Lethal Tempo. He can fight completely on his terms and his W blocks E2 and ult. Poke either Bone Plating and/or the passive shield off with Q before attempting a trade. [3/5] ult but can be better if your team has knockups. If you want to use it by yourself, you have to hit E2 and ult almost instantly.”
MukiiBaa says “Dont push, freeze and he can only eat Qs even if he windwall them.
save E after windwall.
Dodge his tornados and you win
Rylaies and oblivion cook him”
149Gray says “Auto his passive if you can, try to sidestep his Q's, pool the tornado if he has ult, and let your E go off earlier when his windwall is up. The mind game is a lot easier for you since he can't react to your E and needs to predict it, which is very unlikely to happen.”
ExodusBlue says “Let him push 1st wave then freeze 2nd wave as long as you can. He can windwall your QE. Lvl2-5 if he dashes to you EQ>QQ him. Lvl6+ if he dashes to you EW>QE on top of yourself. Do not push to his side of the lane he will chase you down and kill you trust”
ImVoxxX says “Bait the windwall and take his shield with your W.
Don't extend too much a trade and try to bait him to the river so he don't have minions to dash.”
JackOfAllLanes says “A good yasuo can make this lane seem unplayable. He will windwall in front of his minions and E in and out of it to dodge most of your skillshots. Remember, his Windwall has almost a 21 second cooldown so make sure to punish him while his windwall is not up. Before any trade, auto him once to remove his passive sheild. Hold your E until he doesn't have windwall to dodge it anymore. ”
KazunaSan says “Le premier qui fait une erreur perd, attention à ses dégats élevés et a son E qui peut bait le votre, le premier qui fait une erreur perd le trade et/ou meurt, match up skillé.”
FrostbiteMW says “Hard to play because of his mobility. Upside is that his windwall can only block your stun, so be careful when using it. Be aggresive early and always try to poke, dont step too far tho since he can easily go in through the wave.”
FrostbiteMW says “Not hard, just AA him on his shield like you would with any other champion. Try to bait is windwall with AA's. Stun him with your W instead of Q since it can go through the windwall.”
FrostbiteMW says “You can play aggresive early and try to build an advantage. After 6 hes annoying and you have to be careful. Dont waste your root into his windwall or he can allin you. Just perma poke with Q and autoattacks.”
FrostbiteMW says “Dont die early, farm up and scale - youre not beatable lategame. His wall doesnt block your soldier attacks. Try to abuse his weak early. If he ults you just ult him back into your turret.”
Sydekic says “Incredibly easy matchup here. Before level 3 he can be dangerous, but you win level 3 and onwards. Poke him out and don't let him stack off the wave.”
Colorfulness says “Yasuo can be pretty annoying for just about anyone. For Hwei, between Yasuo's windwall and his elusiveness with his e, Hwei can't really touch him. Make sure Yasuo can't use his wind wall when you go in on him! I would also try to bait out his ult as well....”
Shinbae says “Не из самых приятных пиков, но и не из самых худших, высокая мобильность, большой дамаг и возможность блокировать абилки своей вешкой(стеной ветра) в совокупе со встроенным щитком делает его опасной целью для ваншота, однако пассивка Зои пробивает сквозь ветер (да да, пассивка считается лучом (как ульта Люкс) поэтому какой-то слабый ветерок не способен противостоять великой пассивки Зои)
Против него нужно стоять на дистанции и НЕ рядом с крипами, это даст ему возможность сократить дистанцию...
И да, не попадайтесь на его ветерок с 3 кушки, мало того что подброс не из самых приятных, так ещё и его ульта вырезает Зои в 0”
Wizboy73 says “Take defensive runes, play safe from lv2-5 after that abuse him with your items. you outscale hard but he can still do dumb lethal tempo shit. ”
Hexeria says “[Yasuo and Yone can both pretty countered pretty hard, by building Frozen Heart and Plated Steelcaps first, into Thornmail and going full tank after that.] [Trust me, its your best chance.] [But Despite that, watch out for their charged Q's and cast your E into their dashed to dodge and interrupt them.]”
Xoe_LOLTH says “I give him EXTREME-Threat because This guy is skill play matchup if their yasuo was master of it his movement is hard to Sleep him but we can hold the E and bait his windwall before punish him”
SYROBE says “almost completely unplayable for Hwei, even the worst yasuos will feel like youre playing against faker because his windwall just eats everything you throw at him”
Prefexx says “HASAGI! Yasuo should not be a huge problem if you know how to play against him. His passive can be annoying as it negates some of your Q poke. Normally you would max your W first to keep up with his mobility. A good Yasuo will use his windwall to block damage from your ultimate. The most opportune time to engage would be when he has no Q stacks. Also make note that his Q tornado can interrupt your ultimate.”
Norbertastic says “cannot do very much in lane. higher dmg output, windshield blocking ALL of your damage and also very mobile making your escape nearly impossible. this should be your midlane ban”
Zapen says “Hortumunu dodgelayıp üzerinize gelmesine izin vermezseniz kolaylıkla yenebileceğiniz bir match up. Onun dışında W skilli ile skilleri engelleyip kaya kaya Vel'kozu mahvediyor.”
Halkem says “Avoid pushing into him early levels and try your best to keep wave on your side. After chapter this matchup gets easier. If he doesn't build QSS he's easy to gank and shutdown in fights. Care for his tornado, as if he cast it before your R, it will buffer it.”
Iceyou says “Just like irelia same situation only that he is much more prone to get ganked and farmed . If he gets fed just chain cc at fights and win the game . Highly respect him after lvl 2 . Be under your turret with your minion wave frozen in front of you at level 3 .”
liqulabouse says “Easy to win this matchup, take care of his T2 Boots spike and also if you're behind, he will be the one who snowball the matchup. Good to know that is wall block your Q and your R”
WayOfTheTempesst says “His windwall counters every ability in your kit technically. Yasuo also has some of the best mobility and definitely the best mobility in the game while fighting side of a minion wave. It's really hard to land skills on a good Yasuo and he should always win the early levels in lane.”
The Milelator says “Skill matchup. If you know how Yasuo works, you can predict how he will move and hit your slow and stun. He can windwall your E, but not a minion/monster hit by your E. Without a minion wave, you can all in with slow -> ult. If he has blade he can 1v1 you easily, unless you are way ahead.”
Hikkinnado says “Proc hes passive and play for short trades. After 6 you win, didge his spells with r, rly he will e +aa+q on you so space him. Dont let him get much kills, you outscale him.”
WarwicksSimp says “You should win this matchup fairly often unless enemy jungle just wins lane for Yasuo which can happen easily and often. Track enemy jungle movement if possible.
As you get tiamat you can win this match pretty often as it helps vs his passive if hes near minions to q you. Exhaust is optimal here. Most difficult part about this matchup is hes super easy for his jungle to gank you so being camped by enemy jg is usually gg. Make sure to bully him and use wave management to your advantage. REMEMBER TO Q OR R WHEN HE Q3'S TO CANCEL THE KNOCKUP!!! VERY IMPORTANT YOU CAN Q THROUGH MINIONS TO HELP THIS TOO.”
javiiergrd says “Full Aery Trades o Elec Aggro, lo ideal es aprovechar la fase de linea para mantenerlo controlado. Llevar exhaust puede ser una opcion. Comprar brazalete de Zhonya por si es necesario.”
Anth0ny_Azir says “Pretty easy because they're overly aggressive and melee making it so you can shuffle him into tower. Sidestep Q's and keep good spacing.”
DivineButterMan says “The only annoying thing about Yasuo is his passive shield, so trading him isnt gonna be the easiest, but when you reach level 3 just kill him, you have 3 damaging moves, he only has 1.”
Usernamussy says “His fartwall block literally everything from your kit (even visual effect on your W). Be very careful when YOU have minion advantage. Q3+R+ignite and you explode.”
FrostbiteMW says “Hard to play against him since he dashes around alot and can dodge all your skillshots. His W is also annoying since he can block your Q or E. Just try to play safe early and dont trade alot. After 6 just push him in with your R.”
Tokiyami says “Skill matchup its yasuo favored early game until you hit lv 6 because his windwall counters half your kit and he can just deny you so much damage. Also his flow shield early makes it hard to trade with him. Just survive with him early and you can all in him.”
FlopQueenEra says “Yasuo is a highly mobile champion who can easily dash through minion waves and engage or disengage from fights. Sona, on the other hand, lacks mobility and can struggle to escape Yasuo's aggressive engages, and can block your Q and Ultimate with his windwall.”
Lindroganti says “Don't fight level 1 outside of q pokes. Can maybe fight level 2. Hard win 3 onwards. Don't let him touch the wave and he can't ult. Use your shield for free trades.”
stormraided says “Very easy if you know how to fight him, take Conqueror. Just bait out his W by throwing out your W, your W cooldown is shorter than his W so you can hit him. When you land both your W procs you can Q and proc your passive, when you're done walk back if you don't have enough damage to kill him. Do not wiggle to dodge his Q, since his hitbox is quite bigger than you think just wiggle a bit and walk in a straight line.”
support_diff says “Yasuo outfarms you and you can't hit your E on him if there are minions nearby or if there weren't minions, he can still windwall it. Yasuo can also windwall your ultimate”
Fuzzmonkey says “Dodge his Q tornado, and try to punish him for making dashing mistakes. Don't let him block your Q with wind wall, this cuts your damage in half. Bait it out first before fully committing. ”
Shark of Void says “It is impossible to win, he uses your dogs to kill you, he evades your skills with his W and E, just keep afk farming under your tower and rely on the team.”
Wraithlander says “Like Yone, quite a difficult matchup if he takes ignite as his dueling power and straight up damage are quite high. Good Yasuos will space you completely by E ing through the wave so just wait until he mispositions or has no Q stacks to trade.”
sullyyylol says “MISERY
I go ex/ig and rush bork so I don't mental boom from his wind wall.
You can kill him going ap but you have to be conscious of his windwall and your q usage.”
LewisBlawk says “I swear when Yas goes full ADHD Eing through minions and you ult, the ult can't keep up with Yas E. But anyway take Precision Rune route builds and TAKE NOTE of where he's E'd to so you know if you can shuffle without him Eing through your wall. Make sense?”
kirellkekw says “will give up a fight if he knows what his w does. considering his popularity in low elo this should be your permaban if you are below diamond. ”
Hakuanivia says “Everfrost goes through windwall. Keep wave close to tower unless you are resetting. You never kill each other solo unless one of you makes a mistake. TP a lot more reliable in this match up.”
Shark of Void says “Его невозможно выиграть, он использует ваших псов, чтобы убивать вас, он уклоняется от ваших умений своими W и E, просто афк фармите под вышкой и надейтесь на команду.”
tangerrine says “A snowbally champion, but fine if he doesn't get fed. Run Electrocute always, as you can just burst him down if he tries to E you. Good yasuo's will try and block it with windwall, but you can just W away from it and bait him in further. Whenever his passive shield is up. give him a little auto attack to cancel it, and then you can use your combo when it's gone. Dodge the tornado, especially post 6, and you will win lane easy. Late game, just make sure he gets cc'd and he won't get a penta and mega scale.”
nezumiichi says “Poke from range to eat his passive shield, then bully. I prefer to go against Yasuo's in game (personally) because the matchup is fun and relatively easy.”
Tanginid says “Yasuo easily devours your skills with the wind barrier, so try to use your poke until he spends the barrier, if he spends it, it's easy for you to kill him if he doesn't cut all your skills”
Aquanis says “Try to proc his shield everytime it's up.
Respect his movement, so don't stand too close to your minions.
Try to poke him as much as possible and punish him, if he wastes his q or w, as they are the only real threats to you.”
TheBougis says “After Yasuo ults he gets a lot of armour reduction causing him to do a lot of damage.
Besides that, he doesn't have much else for him (he could get some lucky augments but, it shouldn't be enough).”
TheFakeMord says “His windwall is a bit annoying , but same as yone, keep him in melee range and its easy. With ghost you can even weave through his Q”
Just_Invalid says “Easy to dodge the Q3 due to its travel time if you are further away and your move speed. Be careful of his wind wall blocking your E in your combos as well as blocking your ult since it technically counts as a projectile.”
serrafim says “Windwall blocks your Q, his laning is better, he scales better, etc. Play for roams, and for your team instead of for laning phase. Poke out his passive shield if you want to engage or poke. ”
whaz says “skill matchup, bait out his wind wall and win the lane babe!
ALWAYS let him push
pretty easy if the yasuo only windwalls in front of him, you can bend your paddle star and finish him off”
Poca31 says “For threats go look at any proper Twisted Fate guide. I don't like anyone who builds tanky items. Yasuo spesifically stands out thanks to his W”
Zero macro says “Yasuo mobility (E/R) through minions combined with stat check is unavoidable for Kog'Maw mid. Thereby Yasuo can windwall Q/W/E from Kog'Maw as well. Recommended to take Exhaust in this match up.”
AngeReaper says “(This is a tank guide)
YOU DON'T LIKE BRUISER
Playstyle like an Assassin, and stick on him, take your Grasp as a mini Electrocute with 4 sec CD and give you sustain then escape but stay healthy until lvl 3
NO LONG FIGHT if they have letal tempo (99.9% of time. if not, that a noob, or BIG PRO, find out )”
DepresedEef224 says “Super easy. Your Q is longer than his so poke him down and when he engages, stun him. When you hit 6, dodge his tornado with your ult so he can ult you.”
Actt says “He wins extend fights by a lot even with Conqueror and his passive protects him for First Strike and Electrocute set-ups. Conqueror and Ignite with Long Sword 3Pots.”
shisho_kawaleraa says “Just waste his W and you will be fine, bait that u will trade with him so wastes it and after that u can trade for a short period of time.”
Braimyy says “Probably Asol's easiest match up, Yasuo can't do anything against asol if you play it properly (his windwall also does not block any of your abilities) Just keep your wave in a good spot, don't let him freeze, get vision to protect yourself from dives, and take the free win”
Hot Eboy Xerath says “Yas is a hard matchup with his dashes and early shield. biggest tip is stun him when he tries to dash toward you in your minions. They are fairly predicable with this. dont try to throw to many w q if he is in your mininon wave becuase he will dodge it with e. poke them when otuside the wave let him push in. Go comet”
Waqql says “Nothing you should be afraid of. Avoid getting hit by his Q and be aware that he can dash through minions. Once Hulk - uh, Mega Gnar is ready, engage. Try to keep him in one place and unleash your combo. He should quickly try to flee to a minion.”
IggyBoom says “If you have half a brain, you just run him down. He has like no way of killing you. You can Dodge all of his Qs and you interrupt his E while W knockup.”
SatanicWren says “He is Yasuo alright... Play super passive early and farm as much as possible. He isnt bulky so starting mid-game your AA can usually 1-2 shot him. ”
freuio123 says “Yasuos Windwall blocked ALLE Skills von dir.
Mit Dshield Second Wind outsustained er dich in Lane.
Du musst ein wenig hoffen, dass er low IQ ist und immer wieder tradet statt wave zu spielen.
Ansonsten kannst du dich nur etwas eindrücken lassen, gucken, dass du immer wieder Damage auf ihn kriegst nach Lost Chapter und mit scalen.”
ITSHOT says “Found out a lot of people struggle against Yasuo on Veigar
Try to stay away from your minions
Try to farm and wait for the jungler
Pay attention timing your E”
Anguish333 says “- Q whenever he goes for Q on minions
- Dodge his Q
- Wait out his Windwall if possible, so he doesnt block our Q and E
- E whenever he E on You
- If he doesnt have windwall he is freekill most of the time
- Don't walk up far away if you dont have Shroud, he will just run you down unless you are giga stronger”
NickLeVlach says “Ok....ok. Just ban him. I prefer to have fizz on the lane. I found Yasuo to be completely aggravating to deal with. Baiting his wind wall is extremely hard since your E animation isn't fast.”
AdrikN says “(bait out wind wall) it can block most of your abilities. He also has a free shield to block poke so try to stay far from the minions. Bring exhaust or ghost.”
Zeusman00 says “Very hard matchup, he can very easily dash and dodge your Q's, even when he is extremely behind he can still be incredibly strong and oppressive, sometimes if he pushes the lane under your tower, you can run him down if you manage to get a good Q of and his wind wall is down.”
uwuimsocute says “If he knows what he is doing, it is not playable. His champion as a whoie counters you.
Consider dodging this matchup since he can snowball really hard from a little lead in your lane.”
Angryappleseed says “RUSH STEELCAPS, maybe even GA.
U can bully and poke him a lot in lane and try to bait out his windwall. When he hits 6, respect him more, as he can easily 1 v 1 you. ”
VrNtv says “Same as every other ADC, Jinx get's countered by Yasuo thanks to his windwall and an ability to dash through minions winning any close engage. You can't really disengage yourself, throwing traps below yourself is pretty much all you have. He scales really well and his early game is not bad thanks to lethal tempo and low Q cooldowns, so just try not to die and scale. Play safe on your side of lane. The only thing you can really do is play aggro lvl 1 since he can't really contest early cs, poke him hard, then slow push cannon wave and recall. The second he is level 2 he is a threat to you and as long as there are cs between you, he can try to all-in you.”
Painters says “Skill match up. Your E is not blocked by his windwall; but somehow your R is. Do not stand by minions, since this will allow him to dash to you with ease. Poke him down and keep your distance, and you'll be good.”
MrMeem45 says “You kind of just have to waveclear against him and hope that your team doesn't feed him. The matchup gets much easier around level 5, when you can effectively clear the wave from a distance. Still, he's going to make landing cards really difficult.”
Enderspider says “windwalls your W. Pain.
If you wait out his w though, he's not that hard of a matchup as your damage is still too overwhelming for him.”
Y0rhm says “Yasuo's W completely negates 60% of lux's kit, including her passive and 2 out of 3 damage abilities. Yasuo's passive and Immortal Shieldbow's shields make it very hard to oneshot him. Permaban status.”
quinn adc says “With Yasuo, you must be extra careful with your minions especially. Yasuo wants the lane to be frozen in front of his tower so that he can pressure you in your minion wave and dash through them to punish you.
First, it's important to save your E always because if you waste your E, Yasuo will dash onto you and all-in you.
What I like to do is use blind on Yasuo in lane, and most times Yasuo will use his windwall to block your Q. However, this is amazing because his windwall is a very long cool down. Our goal is to pretend that we wanna all-in, and then when he wastes his windwall, just play back until it goes away.
Our vault has prio on Yasuo’s E, so if he Es onto you, just retaliate with vault always.
Watch out for his empowered Q tornados by using your move speed to dodge it, or out run it by playing a little bit back.
After level 6 it’s critical not to get hit by his tornado to avoid his ultimate hitting you.
If Yasuo ults you, instantly retaliate with vault and run away. Most Yasuos will windwall after, but make sure to quickly E-Auto before he windwalls so that you get your harrier move speed mark consumed before his windwall blocks your auto.
If Yasuo ever wastes his Windwall or misses his empowered Q, retaliate with an engage because he relies on those two moves to win trades.”
Cryniu says “Focus on poke him slowly, use your basic attacks to negate his shield. Use your bombs slowly because he can block them with his wall of wind. Your E is very important, use it to keep your distance when he approaches to you. It's very important slow him or speed up to yourself to run. When your jungler is coming you can use Super Slow combo, remember that his wall of wind doesn't work against your E.”
WelcomeToLosersQ says “Yasuo's wind wall (W) can block Neeko's skill shots, which significantly hampers her ability to damage or CC him. His high mobility and ability to dash through minions make it challenging for Neeko to land her abilities effectively.”
EueAmor says “Yasuo is very strong in the laning phase and if he gets a space he eliminates Miss Fortune very easily and he has the ability that blocks the ultimate”
TB Azir says “Irelia benzeri bir matchup ve oynarken lane'i tutmanız gereken yer Irelia'ya karşı oynarken lane'i tutmanız gereken yerle aşağı yukarı aynı. Push atmayıp biraz daha wave'i üstünüze alıp kulenize yakın oynayarak Yasuo'nun play imkanını kısıtladığınız takdirde çok zorlanmazsınız. Bu arada ufak bir trick: Yasuo’nun çift Q yaptıktan sonra üstünüze E-Q ile atlayacağını sezdiğiniz zaman ultinizi tam Yasuo üstünüze atlarken castlerseniz siz airborne yediğiniz anda Yasuo da airborne yemiş oluyor ve ultisini size kullanamıyor. Özellikle bunu yaparken rakibi kule altına da attıysanız flashı yokken Yasuo’nun agresif play'ine karşılık hiç yoktan bir kill potansiyeliniz olmuş oluyor. Onun dışında 1 levelda E açıp yarı canınızı alabilir o yüzden Q açtığını görene kadar adamı dürtmek için üstüne koşmayın başka da ekstra bir şey yok.
Rün: PTA”
Allyooops says “His windwall/bone plating/d shield sustain make this matchup very hard. He will go sb and make this matchup even more unplayable. He outscales you and his windwall blocks your R. Bait out his windwall/bone plating and go first strike because a good yasuo will never lose this matchup. ”
South Z says “Jax naturally counters Yasuo thanks to his E, but don't forget that Yasuo's skill ceiling is high enough to outplay you, especially in the early levels !”
The Unshackled says “He's got an advantage pre-lvl3. After that it's a pure skill matchup. Try to bait him into a river fight as he's much weaker there (he can't jump around you on like a monkey)”
vxnity says “Try and proc shield whenever you can. Use your W movement speed to help dodge his Q3. Zhonya's is a good second item for him. I personally like Liandrys against him because the burn can proc his shield.”
Boptimus says “Can be very annoying levels 1-2 with Q spam and E dash spam. Remember to hold your E for whenever he tries to dash onto you and you can force a stalemate. Once you get Lost Chapter you can harass him with Q's. NEVER use your R unless he just recently used wind wall. Play away a bit from your minion wave so that if he wants to all-in you he can't use your wave to maneuver around. You can usually disengage his all-in and sustain back up unless he let yourself get in lethal range.
If he doesn't build MR then he will get nuked after you finish your first item.”
Boptimus says “Yasuo isn't as bad as Yone but can still be a problem if played poorly.
Again you don't want to take extended fights and you want to keep trades short. Once you have a significant amount of Armor Yasuo will have a hard time chewing through you. Keep up your CS and if Yasuo takes too many bad trades you can all in him with R.”
P1Legend says “Im going to copy paste this for both Yasuo and Yone because the matchup actually plays the same for both champions. Be aware of his third Q, because this is usually when he will follow up on the trade with either ult/ dash engage. If he misses third Q, you can take this as a chance to trade with him. In Yasuo's case specifically, you can cleanse the airborne status by using empowered W, making him unable to ult, so keep this in mind for when he tries to ult you.”
darkezmond says “It depends on how strong Yasuo is against you, if it's a stupid Yasuo, then auto-attack him to remove the shield and poke with your Q for more damage, avoid him with your E, for more efficiency you can take ignite. If this is a strong Yasuo, then stand under the tower and try to poke him with your auto attacks and Q, wait for your jungle for pressure”
ardizzle says “Press the Attack and Exhaust are going to be your lane winners here. Anticipate when he is going to commit and you should walk away with an extra 300 gold.”
Caganos says “You eat him up. His passive shield is destroyed by your Fury W and you will always one shot him in mid game. Yasuo mid is a wet dream for a sexual predator Renekton.”
EL ZUDO says “skilled matchup dodge q's play safe till 6 and u can kill roam to help team but be careful to push wave before doing it and most of the times it must be a canon so u dont loose too many plates”
Glitchgun says “This match up is really annyoing if the Yasuo knows what he is doing. You can't really go full out on him, since he just can block all your feathers with his windwall. Just play safe in lane. You have good wave clear, so look out for roams if killing him is impossible. He is my perma ban atm cuz his winwall ruins everything.”
BlakC1 says “Skill Matchup. If you struggle, ask jungler for a gank so you can get ahead and just farm up until your 2 item and 1 amp tome powerspike.
”
lolkayleee says “[Conqueror/Grasp + Trinity]
[Ignite/Flash + TP]
Start W. Don't trade lvl 1 or 2. Level 3 just W him to remove the shield and hookshot onto him. You can R his tornado to prevent him from ulting you. Take short trades. Lethal Tempo is op in Season 12.”
1Yamato1 says “Não faça trocas longas lv1, se o yasuo não tiver W use seu W no Q3 dele caso contrario apenas desvie. Se ele usar E+Q3 em você use seu W para tras.”
epic blitz top says “ALL PLAYERS UNDERESTIMATE YOUR DAMAGE. BUT YASUO PLAYERS ARE A DIFFERENT STORY. THEY ALMOST NEVER BUILD DEFENSIVE ITEMS UNTIL VERY VERY LATE. THIS MEANS YOU CAN ONE SHOT THEM :) ALSO IF YOU WANT TO, GO FOR A CHEEKY HOOK WHEN THEY E THROUGH YOUR MINIONS BACKLINE. THIS MIGHT BE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE BUT I'VE NEVER LOST LANE TO A YASUO AND IT'S ALWAYS AN EASY LANE. YOUR ULTIMATE ALSO DELETES HIS SHIELD.”
ItsAstr0 says “VERY HARAM MUST BAN!!!
This EVIL creature conjures DEVILISH wind magic to OBLITERATE your axes from reality. If you for whatever reason allow him to be picked just dodge, beg, bribe, murder, or steal to escape the lane because there is no point in playing this out if you ever have to lane against him.”
AnxialSociety says “Aery manaflow transcendence scorch
Legend-haste cut-down.

Deru says “Doable matchup because you can solokill him early on with conq and outshove him. If you put your w on yasuo he can't ult so you remove a lot of damage from his 1v1 potential.”
Deru says “Doable matchup because you can solokill him early on with conq and outshove him. If you put your W on Yasuo he can't ult so you remove a lot of damage from his 1v1 potential.”
MiniLuxi1 says “Play carefully, and look at his character, dodge his "wind" (Q). His W (in the form of a wall of wind), may not allow you to make a procast of directional skills and targeted ones on him, but you can use your R, outside of this wall. He also jumps on creeps and then can jump on you (E), using his Q, try to put your W, so that it would not be so easy for him to reach you.”
StralekS says “Not Playable: Conqueror/ Resolve: vs Assassins or Conditioning and Overgrowth, Ignite + Flash, Doran Shield/ Dark Seal start. Play lane safely, farm, and when hewastes ability, punish him with Q and if you are in good situation go all in. Full AP for higher win chances. Sunderer might work sometimes.”
DawrazWasInting says “Pretty easy matchup. You can outrade him with no problems. Just dodge his tornadoes and you shall be fine. You can try to go for early trades to prock your passive and Electrocute.”
Samikin says “Skill Matchup.
You can angle your Q's to go around Yasuo's W. Most of the time, you will be to E sleep him once he jumps onto you since the timing for his W will be really hard for him to land well. Most of your early game damage goes through his W, so you will naturally have the upper hand in this lane.
Recommendation:
Aery (+ Ingenious Hunter) rune page
Crown of the Shattered Queen + Lich Bane”
Mayuushii says “He dashes all over and will look to use Q3 to get you. Use auto when he farms to take out his passive shield. After his shield is down use Q and W to poke him down. Charm is important to hold cause he can dash to dodge it or use windwall to block everything of yours. Use charm if he dashes to casters near you and interrupt it or after you bait out the windwall ”
NegativePhoenix says “Honestly as annoying as it is, your W stops him from ulting if he can't land his Q3. In your All-Out form you have a chance to beat him if you're careful and time it in a good spot otherwise the fight could go his way if you aren't careful. I'd just definitely save your refreshed W for his Q3 so he can't ult to change the fights outcome super easily.”
YourDreamWaifuu says “[Runes: Conqueror]

DabiDabi says “Look to poke. Farm safely and stay away from your minion wave because he can minion ride to you and beat you down. Lvl 6 stay near turret and look to ult him under tower.”
WaveFunction73 says “this also goes for yone so listen closely.
never take long trades, only short trades, %99 of the times he will have lethal tempo and will just fk u up in long trades.
this goes for every matchup: i advise u to take trades when ur fleet is up so u can run away w ms from fleet after u do a brief combo.”
AkuAku says “i rly dont have to say much... his passive is annoying, funny windwall go brrr, he dashes way too much.. like at this point perma gank setup and ping your jg :))) it's not unplayable as long as you land everything and have d shield and second wind for sustain”
TheAfricanDream says “Take your Q first in this lane and keep poking him. Try to proc his passive shield by basic attacking him and play super aggressively at level 1. Respect Yasuo's level 2 as he can kill you on that spike. His dash makes it very difficult for you to land your E so prioritize saving your mana for your Q only. If you are ahead Yasuo is an easy lane but just make sure you do not overextend and take poor trades as he can easily take over the lane.”
Chymying says “very mobile, care his windwall so you don't waste skills. easy to gank. he will use dash on minions so stand away from them and use cage on them so he can't get closer or escape.”
Shaco Mid Lane says “Very snowbally lane. You can use your boxes to escape to safety and to bait him. His sustain is annoying to deal with but your liandry's will proc his passive. (W-max)”
Cjtheawesome says “get as much poke as you can in before he gets his E at lvl 2. This will allow you to snowball in xp and gold. post lvl 2 try to cs while avoiding him dashing onto you for trades.”
Demonsedge90 says “Since Yasuo's skills are easy to predict, you should have no issue dodging his steel tempest. However, make sure to poke him in the lane, and watch out for his sweeping blade ability if he's got his gathering storm stacks up (from steel tempest) and could be followed up by him using his ultimate last breath to finish you off.”
Melyn says “My least favorite bot matchup (not counting support). He's hyper mobile, his shield reduces poke, and has great all in.
One of the best ways to deal with him is to max E and wait for his wind wall. When he fights you, he needs to wind wall the ADC's damage or else that + minions can kill him. Wait for this, then root and either run away or kill him.
Exhaust can be decent for when he's 6, but it's very easy for him to bait it before then by just dashing back through minions.
At 6, if he ults on your ADC, drop your ult immediately under him so that your ADC can start running after (or place it slightly towards your tower). Early armor AND HP can be useful if he's focusing you, but if he usually goes on your ADC, damage is better.”
Wizahd says “Pretty even, he outranges you, but your 3 stack combo does more damage than his all-in. Poke him as with every other match-up and try to stop him farming.”
Atemporal says “Este é um confronto muito difícil que eu colocaria como Muito Difícil, mas por causa da incompetência geral dos jogadores de Yasuo, é apenas Difícil. No início você tem que deixá-lo empurrá-lo, caso contrário ele o derrubará e talvez até 100- 0 você
no nível 2. No nível 1, nunca tente usar o Q para estourar seu escudo porque você não poderá abusar dele antes que ele volte a funcionar. No início do jogo, você só precisa se preparar para cultivar sob a torre, acertar os lacaios e configurar seus HP de acordo.
Negociar com combos automáticos E - Q - normais é assustador contra Yasuo porque sua parede de vento pode atrapalhar todo o seu combo. Você quer negociar sempre que ele avança em sua direção. Jogue um Q quando ele correr/caminha em sua direção, auto, E de lado
então salte sobre ele com E2. Se ele parar o Q para começar, tudo bem porque você não cometeu seu E, então você pode simplesmente fugir ou E. Lembre-se que o windwall Yasuo tem um CD de 30 segundos. Você pode jogar bastante agressivamente quando
está baixo. A parte difícil desse confronto é que você pode estar preso na rota. Yasuo não tem mana e empurra as ondas rapidamente enquanto você, como Ekko, tem que comprometer muito mana para Q. Considere os valores de negociação versus manter sua mana para
ondas claras. Você não quer ficar preso sob a torre sem mana, e geralmente não quer ser forçado a chamar por causa de problemas de mana. Perder uma onda completa de XP neste confronto geralmente significa que a rota acabou.
Há algumas coisas que eu faço nesta pista para facilitar a luta contra Yasuo. Eu sempre fico em cima de mim quando vejo que estou prestes a ser atingido por um Tornado. Desta forma, se Yasuo te insultar, ele ficará atordoado a menos que ele recue. Eu também gosto de não
mexer muito. Eu tento o meu melhor para manter meu clone R em cima de mim para facilmente virar as lutas quando Yasuo se comprometer. No entanto, não importa o que você faça, essa pista deve ser bem difícil. Não tenha medo de se comunicar com seu jungler que
Você pode matar o Yasuo juntos. A maior fraqueza dos jogadores de Yasuo é ser ganked. Isso pode ser feito durante todo o jogo. Envie 2 pessoas no Yasuo em vez de 1v1 contra ele. Yasuo escala muito bem e se torna muito difícil de matar
quando ele pega Shieldbow, e quando ele pega IE você não deve ser capaz de vencê-lo 1v1 a menos que você o supere com força. Depois de ter 3 itens, Rocketbelt, Nashors e Rabadons, você pode vencê-lo”
IamBishop says “He cant play the game for ages, after level 1 you can just stat check him all lane. Freeze the wave take a sip of your water and hit minions. If he walks up beat his *** into the ground. Duel him in team fights and skirmishes, use him as your ult target if he is a carry and you need to peel. ”
Simelodeon says “I: Everfrost/Morello
R: Defensiv
S: Barrier
Mit dem richtigen Setup nicht so schwer wie sonst. Lass dich einpushen damit er nicht durch die Minions dashen kann. Du bist stärker Lv.1 wenn du ihn auf range halten kannst aber ab Lv.2 musst du aufpassen.
Seine Windwall blockt deine Q und E. Wenn er dich engagen will benutz Everfrost+W wenn er nicht wegdashen kann für einen Free Kill
”
pamiclo says “its skill matchup but i think well played akali always win duel despite yasuo has more powerfull champ. bait his w. use your w before airborned to avoid his ult. use e when he is trying to walk you. ALWAYS USE ULT + E COMBO.”
Lucid Walking says “He counters you.
If you didn't ban him, you can survive by being very passive. This means you should only Q when he starts dashing towards you.
If you're planning on hitting him with your Q, try to Not fully cover your Q on him. Basically, there is this "core"' in your Q, which is the star. If that star gets blocked, your entire ability gets blocked. The star is in the middle of your Q, so don't let that get blocked by his windwall and aim more towards yourself.
”
Ceru says “If played incorrectly, a Yasuo can do a decent job at stopping you from farming stacks and has a lot more kill pressure than you during laning phase, play back and look for a good opportunity to all in or setup a gank for your jungler”
AriFr0mThe3nd says “Yasuo should be pretty easy to counter. Just use one auto attack on his shield (white bar under HP bar) and proceed to attack when it disappears. Also dodge his tornados and then he shouldn't be much of a threat to you.
Be super careful with him, since he can outplay you if you aren't careful with dodging him.”
SanyGame says “When playing against Yasuo, it's important to keep in mind that you should not try to kill him, as he can be a difficult matchup for Heimerdinger. Your best outcome is to go even with him. To do this, position your turrets in a triangle formation, but keep them far apart so that he cannot dash from one turret to the other straight at you. This is similar to playing against Irelia. When he engages with your turrets, retreat away from him and do not cast [E] before he uses his windwall. Take advantage of his melee range by poking and harassing him when he is not trying to engage you or farming CS.
If you face a bad Yasuo player, the match-up may be easy, but if you face a good one, it can be difficult. Morellonomicon and Exhaust are highly recommended items to counter Yasuo.”
Cheeseypops1 says “Yasuo will probably outplay you pre 6 and you will struggle to hit your skill shots, Don't all in him pre 6, But after 6 with steelcaps if you hit your abilities you can't lose ”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Be cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his E to dash through the minion wave to get on to you. Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times. Try to keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map early on. This will reduce his ability to play aggressive and look for an all-in. Good times to use CC abilities or to trade with Yasuo is when he is overextended after using his E. You could use his poor positioning to go for a favourable trade to get him low.”
livikattt says “Be extremely careful and play around his windwall. You will take mental damage if you ult perfectly, only for him to use his W and delete it. ”
Spoomk says “As long as you dodge his tornadoes and can predict his dashing at least to a certain degree, you should be good. Remember to break his passive shield with an AA or Q before engaging him for maximum effect.
”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “easy, poke him to get his passive off, place barrel underneath you and he cant do shit, remember to auto not q the barrel if he has windwall. You can W his ult (not damage but cc its very helpful)”
Xelikari says “An unwinnable matchup for Yasuo, you just do way too much damage. Definitely take first strike here, and I like to rush Sorcerer’s Shoes into Shadowflame. Pop his passive shield whenever you can and just walk up to him whenever Flamespitter is off cooldown.
If he E’s through you, just use a harpoon on him, and make sure you Overheat when he gets into melee and you’ll win every trade. You can also easily get away with Predator in this lane if you think you can get some effective roams off. Feel free to go Gathering Storm but I still prefer Scorch.
BEWARE: If he takes Exhaust + Lethal Tempo he can EASILY roll you”
CFCryo says “Dodging tornados is your main concern. Early he can't prevent your poke, only with his passive, as Wind Wall does nothing to your autos. Level 6 Q Ults will be a strong turning point for him, so try not to get hit. Get Titanic Hydra first.”
xblademojo says “Don't Push into him, let him push into you or last hit wave. Poke only for mana flow band. Dont even't AA him too much, because the wave will push too hard and then he will punish you. Starting from 6 you are way more useful and he can't match thhat well your push.”
BIG BRAIN MAN says “It's easy if he is a monkey. Test him out in a couple trades. If he is competent, then just try to farm and play for fights around the map with teleport.
”
GoodMangoes2war says “His difficulty is based on one thing only. Does he Rush his E (Sweeping Blade) or his Q (Steel Tempest) if he rushes E you need to be careful not to fall into the dash trap. That's where he will get you. Important Senna/Yas interaction. Senna's Auto Attacks are NOT projectiles and ignore Wind Wall. Yassuo players don't read Patch Notes and will Wind Wall normally. Smurfs/Scripters will not. However, Don't rely on this. Ever. If played correctly he will hard roam early 'cus he's starved. If he E rushes he's considerably more of a handful then his brother.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Be cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his Sweeping Blade(E) to dash through the minion wave to get on to you. Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times. Try to keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map early on. This will reduce his ability to play aggressive and look for an all-in. Good times to use CC abilities or to trade with Yasuo is when he is overextended after using his E. You could use his poor positioning to go for a favourable trade to get him low.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Watch your own minions since Yasuo can use them to get close to your champion. If you are trying to run away from him then don’t go the way with your minions, better use some jungle paths. In the early game you can try to do short trades when his Q is not stacked.”

Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times. Do not over-commit to doing this though as he could look to turn the exchange around. Playing around Yasuo’s Windwall Wind Wall(W) will make killing him a lot easier. If you can, try to bait this ability out before committing to the all-in.”
Adamonias says “DASH DASH DASH KNOCKUP INSTAKILL. Take Barrier to block his ult and potentially bait him under tower. This is mostly a game about dodging his knockup, never stand in your wave. Early boots is good here, aswell as early tear to match his waveclear. Go Zhonya's seccond. The only ability that his W blocks is your E so just wait that out; but you can use the rest of your kit for free, bad yasuo's dont know this and will stand behind it. Never use abilities to proc his passive shield, if you CAN safely use auto's to proc it it's a double win for bonus mana. If you can't safely auto him just wait till he's in the wave and he'll probably dash into an ability while youre hitting his wave. At 2 items he MELTS you, hope your team has a point and click CC. Ludens, Zhonyas, Oblivion Orb then shadowflame into him. Respect him at all times and try to freeze so he is forced to trade with you under your tower.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Be cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his Sweeping Blade(E) to dash through the minion wave to get on to you.

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Anivia is quite a strong champion with lots of CC, but as every champion she has also a weak spot and it’s her mobility. If she play very aggressively and the minion wave moves to your tower, as your jungler to attack her from behind. She will be forced to use her Q to stun one champion and try to place the wall of ice between her and the second one while trying to retreat back to her tower which is hard to accomplish.”
Alireza.Daddy says “Always ban it. why?
1.Unkillable since he can dodge your abilities
2.He plays resource games it means he burns your mana early so u cant harass him then he continues to life steal
3.u can never walkup to him EVER! dashes to every creep nonstop”

ZiegenZelu says “Early lane ist er zu respektieren da er dich einfach töten kann wenn du einen fehler machst. Im späteren Spielverlauf nimmt deine E ihn aus jedem Teamfight. WINDWALL BLOCKIERT DIE E MINEN NICHT !”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Avoid pushing the wave as much as you can as Yasuo has an incredibly strong all-in and can take you down if you’re pushing. Try to keep the wave closer to your side of the map in the laning phase so he is unable to chase you down and kill you. Be cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his Sweeping Blade(E) to dash through the minion wave to get on to you. Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times. Try to space accordingly to Yasuo and his Support. If the Support has CC, try to play as far back as possible. This will make it hard for them to get on to you. Post 6, make sure you’re always in a safe position so they cannot all-in you.”
SkyBanana says “Windwall and mobility is why Seraphine cannot deal with Yasuo. Even a bad Yasuo can make it hard to deal with if he presses W right. That much width of not landing spells on the enemy is going to be rough early and late game.”
CurryMuncher says “His wind wall blocks out your standard trade pattern since it blocks out your e.
To prevent this, just land your q + auto or just hit w in lane and try to bait out his wind wall then engage”

Xexzuz says “Morgana is my go to counter for this windblower, given most yasuos are braindead it will be a pretty easy matchup. But every once in a while you will find a good yasuo and it will be a pretty even fight. ”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Be cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his E to dash through the minion wave to get on to you. Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times. If you’re playing as a ranged champion, try to use your range advantage to harass and poke him down. Do not over-commit to doing this though as he could look to turn the exchange around. Playing around Yasuo’s Windwall Wind(W) will make killing him a lot easier. If you can, try to bait this ability out before committing to the all-in.”
NegativePhoenix says “Decently manageable honestly. Poke him while you can but remember he can use minions to E in your face and then dash back out before you can retaliate so once he hits 6 try to play near tower so he gets tower aggro and even better, dies if he gets ulted by you.”
Lightning_Ranger221100 says “Perma ban this champ no matter what (unless he is on your team). He is the worst matchup a Sona could ever have since he counters all of your abilities and can easily get you. If you do fight him, pray. ”
Body Those Fools says “This matchup is Azir favored imo. You out-range him. Let him push into you; try to freeze the wave near your tower so you can farm safely and harass him when he farms. If you push up too far or let him freeze, he'll just E through your minions and run you down. You can dodge his Q3 tornado with W+E. Don't walk up to him early; his level 1/2 is very strong with Lethal Tempo. Experienced Yasuo players in higher elos will know that they can Windwall your Q and your Ult, so be aware of that if you all-in him. His Windwall spawns from under him and pushes out in a direction so if timed perfectly he can negate being hit by Azir ult. If you're about to get knocked up by his EQ, you can also Ult him so you're both knocked up at the same time so he isn't able to Ult you.”

R 3/10 only good for maximising damage 1v1 (The passive effects are useless)”
Waqas says “Yasuo is a very annoying matchup for Ahri. His passive allows him to tank through your trades easily early game, his dashes allow him to easily dodge all of your linear skill shots. and he can even wind wall all 3 of your abilities as well. A good Yasuo should be able to dominate Ahri in lane.”
RivenHentai102 says “dziwny matchup
lvl 6 jak dobrze grasz wygrywasz
exhaust jest w miare git
zacznij od doran ringa
w early zbuduj tyle ap ile da rady bo inaczej przepierdolisz
maxuj E potem W”
KayyeN says “A good Yasuo can make your life hell. You can only ever step forward to your wave when you have another one behind you that's coming from base. Otherwise, you can't jump away when he inevitably dashes onto you through minions. In general, his E allows him to close large gaps as long as there are minions. If he's on top of you, there's no way of preventing his R either, since he will just E-Q-R you. Also, his windwall prevents your Q and your R blades from hitting, and even your Q dagger from landing.”
Zarasaras says “Just farm, he will eventually troll because he is thirsty for the kills and you outscale just play safe
before he buys his boots if you have aery and dodge 2 Qs you can win skirmishes”
DragonMaster45 says “Yasuo is one of the biggest Zed counters. Unless you reach LvL 6 and he uses his W, your chances of winning the 1v1 are not very high.”
Edex_StarsUpYourASol says “Yasuo is a skill based matchup. Its his quickfire movements vs your positioning. If either of you snowball, the other is useless for the rest of the game. Just make sure to remove his shield whenever possible and avoid pokes.
If both of you are somehow even in gold mid to late game, you still have the dps and survivability to keep Yasuo at bay so overall he will struggle every time he meets you”
angeLoon says “lethal dblade in resolve bone plating and unflinching.
yasuo is weaker than yone late game.
but early he's too strong,so be careful when trading early.”
just pick yone says “Don't fight him lvl2. Fight him when his passive is down. (doesn't apply to late game). Also if you're close enough to him your Q3 can go through his W.”
Amarusis says “Try to poke with Q, be aware of his R. Brothers are quite easy to dominate in next levels just dont let him feed in early to give you the opportunity gaining CS.”
KatloveGG says “Yasuo is a very big threat if the enemy has mastered him in 100%. This mainly applies to very high elo. Winning the line on him is hard, you should farm and avoid his Q. You can roam the bot to gain an advantage in gold”
Asaabye says “Try to abuse his early game by poking him whenever you have the chance. Avoid his (Q3) tornado by using your (W) Never run away from him through your own minions because he can easily catch up with his (E) Try instead to run through river/jungle or even through your shrooms to slow him down. You can not blind his (Q) so take advantage early game because late game he can spam his (Q)”
C4V3IRINH4 says “be careful with hurricane, ask your team for help because yasuo might not be a big problem or he might be the big king of the match so be careful”
L9 zangetsu says “yasuo is a very interesting match up i recommend putting like 3 points e early so he cant just windwall all of your damage and build eclipse with the bruser runes and you can usually win 1v1s against him and burst him late ”
Brofish says “With this particular play style, Visions of Empire will be almost impossible to confirm, focus using it in the side lanes instead. Begin maxing out Death's hand after level 6 since it goes through wind wall giving you a consistent and reliable option to damage him.”
TroyLoL says “A (good) Yasuo will make the game unplayable for you. Windwall your gold card even if you hold it and try to outsmart him by trying to make him waste it. Also he can windwall the katty minion early on so you can't walk up and last hit it. All around sucks.”
Errevandare says “После 1 уровня он сильнее, но обыграть и убить можно. Если нет миньонов, на которые можно дешнуться, то он крип в мид-лейт гейме, легко кайтиться и убивается. В своих миньонах лучше не файтить. Если подойти вплотную, то автоатака бьет через стенку. На лайне лучше зафризить пачку под своим тавером.”
DabiDabi says “Yasuo's windwall counters you pretty hard. It blocks both your Q and E but not your W. Position and play aorund his windwall and don't take too much extended fights. His passive shield allows him to fight you better.”
ze kraken says “You can beat a Yasuo. Having said that, it's not easy - his passive is annoying and his dashing is similar to irelia's but slower. Use your AA to rid his shield and poke him down with some Q's and an E for more AA's. Steer clear of minions so he can't dash around like crazy. ”
Super08131208 says “Level 1, try to poke him with your Q while avoiding his Q's. Your Q is both longer and wider range than Yasuo's. Dodge his tornadoes. Let Yas dominate level 2. You'll win from lvl 3 and up. This matchup is actually very easy, it all depends on who gets more hits onto each other.
”
feejee says “Passive shield + good wave clear + being able to windwall your Q makes this matchup really hard, but doable if done properly. Start dorans with ignite.”
Zoose says “His Windwall blocks your Q, E and Ultimate, however, your E will still hit him if its cast before he uses windwall. You can still W flip him behind the wall. Luckily, his windwall is 30 seconds early game and your Q is less than 6. Keep trades short as he will win extended fights. Try to remove his passive shield before you go for trades. Look to predict his E dash with your E stun. Be extra cautious against junglers with displacement CC, as Yasuo can then ultimate combo on to you. Seekers and Zhonya's are solid defensive options later on. ”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: Aftershock or Phase Rush]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport or Exhaust]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring or Corrupting Potion]
[Don't get knocked up or he will use ult]
[Don't get outplayed by his mobility]
[Buy Plated Steelcaps and Zhonya's Hourglass]”
basrty1p says “After Taliyah rework, he has no longer being threat to her anymore.
Use your Q,E harass him as much as possible since her E has a stun for dashing.
Beware about his Q, If you're hit by his Q, you're mostly hit by his R after that. Buy Zhonya's or Banshee to fix this problem.”
King Turtle says “He's currently my perma ban as his windwall just kinda ruins the lane for you in general. He probably won't be killing too often as long as you play safe as Xayah is really good at countering all-in champions, Yasuo's windwall just cucks any trading power you have.”
SadgeBoyK says “dodge his Q's in lane, kill his minions and ground him when tries to dash through yours. you can goo him when tries to R so he can't ult.”
Esrucnl says “Even matchup. Better player will win.
Don't play too much into the minion wave since he will just permanently dash. Also make sure you pop his passive shield (+bone plating rune) before you all in.
You will never be able to R2 or R3 ult so just Q into R instantly (he has windwall)”
Azurio says “I personally found Yasuo matchup really tough. He can dodge and wall all your spells, even your autos, while trading you in wave. Avoid his tornado or E Q combo with your dash. You can farm safely all lane with dash and smoke screen.”
ddieguito_es says “If he gets close, he can be a nightmare. You should win lane to him, but a great Yasuo can be a problem. If you suck at fighting Yasuos, get exhaust.”
King Turtle says “his windwall absolutely cucks you and makes landing combos extremely difficult. Aside from that he also has his passive shield which negates early poke and makes it hard to get him low without blowing all of your mana.”
Akamatsuu says “Yasuo é uma das matchups mais balanceadas pra Qiyana, baseada muito mais em skill do que outra coisa. Tome cuidado ao usar o combo padrão E>Q>W>Q contra um Yasuo, já que um bom Yasuo vai usar a barreira pra trás se você pular nele. Baite a parede dele antes de você levar gank do seu jg. Qiyana no early e no mid tem bastante vantagem numérica, mas Yasuo tem o scaling muito superior.”
beansoce says “Try to walk up level 1 and proc electrocute, deny him off wave so he doesnt have control over the lane. Try to autoattack his passive shield before using q, your q can travel over your windwall but his e cannot. Use pool early game if he's constantly dashing on you, once 6 you can use pool to dodge nado or just w after he casts. Try and change up your e charge time to deal with him windwalling.”
xoBunnihime says “Runes:
Aery

Start:
Corrupting Potion

Barrier/Ignite + Flash

Depending on your playstyle, I prefer taking Barrier + Flash with this matchup. It's fun to see Yasuo's try to all-in/Dive you under tower with Ult, and you juke them with a Barrier/Flash + Charm. Watch them die and you get an opportunity to make a highlight clip of your outplay. ;)

Try building into Everfrost - this Mythic goes through Yasuo's Windwall.
-----
Always bait out his Windwall before Charming!
-----
Use auto-attacks to deactivate his passive's shield.

Try not to push your lane too much - too many allied minions allows Yasuo to dash multiple times!”
S4mst4r says “He and his stupid brother aren't easy to play against in early - but manageable...
They can kill you easy when they got three-digit IQ and buy Wits-End”
Zanannya says “Recommend you to build frozen heart, you can use your R to go through his tornado or dodge it. Try to do short trades with E+AA+W+Q. Keep in mind, yasuo spams his E, giving you stacks to your E.”
ColdStuff says “Yasuo has more agency than Karma in this lane as her CC is delayed and her burst is tied to an ability that can be blocked with Wind Wall. That being said, you have plenty of tricks to generate space for your team should he knock-up your team. ”
clytt says “I usually win this lane. AA to proc his passive shield before poking w/ abilities. Step back when his windsh*it is up. He'll windwall to block our combos, but it's usually easy to sidestep poke bc he'll try and hug it.”
Twisted Tea Fate says “Just a skill matchup honestly. If you can consistently space his Qs and keep pressuring him with autos and Ws, he'll waste his wind wall and be open for an easy gank.”
annak3ndr1ck says “It depends on player tbh, some Yasuos will charge u where u easily kill him with ur Q and W, some will play it safe waiting for u to overstep. Extreme Skill Matchup”
moso says “• Better than the Yone matchup but still easier to play as the Yasuo.
• Ivern can outscale Yasuo pretty hard with Daisy in teamfights as long as Ivern has a few melee champs.”
ARealFakeIdentity says “As he will likely deal a lot of damage and out-damage you, if he builds any type of antiheal such as Mortal Reminder, he may pose quite a threat. You can easily break his Way of the Wanderer passive early game with your Q, and if you ever feel the need to engage, it will nearly always be worth it to try break his passive first.”
Chocodino009 says “such as yone. just wait him to e in your direction and you will be able to land your e easily, also when he q2 you from distance press w as the same timing to avoid his r.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: Summon Aery]

[If he ever comes closer to you, punish him]”
donidaking says “A really good yasuo is really hard to play against since he will just step up and use q to farm and will wait for level 2 to trade with you while utilizing his passive.
Yasuo has mobility and more dps than you so long trades are no bueno.
Break his pasive and do short trades auto+q+shortE and procc electro.
At level 6 you can all in with electro if you manage to get a good trade on him.
Your Q goes through windwall but your E damage gets blocked by windwall even in pool.
If he E+Tornado Q you just pool and you are fine.
But he might E+stackedQ+Flash+R you if you are low hp.
If he s bad just keep killing him.
Shadowflame is an option if they have a lot of shields.”
qosmox says “Be careful to not take extended trades lvl 1-2. Only do short trades when you have a full minion wave he can’t fight inside. Once you hit lvl 3 though, you can start winning trades using your W and keeping your E for disengaging if he ever tries to all-in you. Once he grows low and you wanna finish him off but he’s dashing around everywhere, a tip to hit your taunt is to look which minion is the obvious “dash-target”, and once he starts that E just instantly taunt the spot he’s gonna arrive at.”
TheKingUltra says “He will dash around and will concentrate on damaging you more than on farming. The same goes for his brother. You should be able to outfarm him, because of his ignorance.”
Aut0Lycus says “Wait for his E, if he has already used it on you just Q him, send him away and leave the fight. He can't do anything if you have your stun ready.”
akol1ght says “Pretty easy matchup. Back off when he has Q3 and be mindful of his dashes. Try and land an auto to pop his shield before you combo for elec”
Whitelies says “You should be fine if you playsafe until level 3. Keep poking him until he forces himself to use W that's where you can jump in and kill him. Buy prowler's claw to catch up with him and burst him down and buy Serpent's Fang to counter his shield. However, don't get too cocky in late game. He hurts more and more.”
Exiled Heretic says “yasuo is easy if you just e him in and land your q before he can wind wall but he can wind wall your q and w if he gets it off so only go in if he wastes it or if you don't need a full combo to get the kill. beware of his lethal tempo trading power.
”
Dustyacer says “lvl 1 can poke but his passive shield blocks most of it. range of our q > range of his q1/q2. lvl1-2 he wins. Its fine to just wait to lvl 3, his wind wall is useless so we end up with an extra ability. lvl 3-5 we hard win, can zone him. lvl 6 + we win too since he never gets to hit q's on wave --> not knockups --> no r. Careful of jngl gank if u play too aggro, especially if jngl has a knockup (since yasuo shouldnt get q stacked, thus no q3 until fight has been happening for a while).
Early can try to get lvl 2 first and jump on him or can let him push lvl 1-2 and try to get the wave on our side and zone him off the wave.”
Nitress says “his windwall blocks almost all of your combos, but if you manage to force him to use it, you can try to fight.
You need to know, if you use W and Tornado hits you in your w yasuo cant use r on you!!”
RandomNPC777 says “Ban Yasuo every game, will windwall your entire kit, will dance circles around you, and will laugh on your corpse. Only hope is that the yasuo is bad.”
Nighswan says “Yasuo is a hard matchup because of his wind wall and mobility. Most of the time he will wall your charm, stopping you from getting a pick and if he has units to dash through, he can escape or close the gap very quickly. Take advantage of early levels where he's weak and wait for ganks at later levels.”
Ahri Simplord says “2nd hardest matchup in my opinion. He can outrade you early,his shield is annoying and he can even dive you since he usually runs triumph,a good windwall timing can kill you since your charm will go to waste,you can never get priority in lane since he'll perma push himself and if you walk up you'll get harassed.”
Malzahar MID says “Malzahar does a ok job of beating Yasuo. Normally, he wins a acceptable 50.9% of games the champions fight each other in. In Malzahar vs Yasuo games, Malzahar’s team is 0.1% less probable to get first blood. This indicates that he most likely won't be able to get first blood against Yasuo.”
KeNaNFoR says “Unpleasant in the early and middle games, there are a lot of opportunities to evade the Kassadin ult, a lot of damage from buying the first thing”
VyoS says “Go in when he got no Windwall (W) and don't try to fight in minions, play save when you ulted or w'd him and you couldn't kill him. Try to dodge or to predict his Q-nado, If you dodge it with your ult you win the fight almost everytime”
Dj Memelord says “Harder version of yone. Laning phase is usually unplayable, but once you get out if, Yasou tends to stick to your cage like a fly to a spiders net. Keep procing his passive with your auto attacks.”
m0rfeazz says “I personally love this matchup, dont fight until you hit 3 and dont engage in long trades after that the plan is simple KEEP HARRASSING HIM he will get out of lane eventually, now the combo is kinda tricky E in then AA (to get his passive off if he has it)then wait for his W bait it E2 him Q and finnaly W to get lifesteal(dont forget to AA while doing the abilities to maximize your dps)and then quickly get out”
Xalt says “Personally ban this champion. His Windwall and itemisation makes it is very easy for him to beat Diana. Try to kill him early before he hits his boots/vamp sceptre and if he's playing too safe, shove your wave and roam. Avoid extended trades as it's likely he'll have lethal tempo and his autos will chunk you while your abilities are all on cooldown after your initial burst.”
Silcy says “He's one of your biggest counters.
Don't waste your combo on his wall.
Wait for the moment to stun him with easy Conflagration and Sear combo, followed by pillar and ignite, cast your ultimate while he escapes around minions.”
Bundif says “He wins pre-level 6. Don't trade autos with him. Look for opportunistic trades. With your lvl 6, you can look to dodge his E+Q with your R and win.
Serpent's Fang is a must-buy item against him.”
angeLoon says “dring grasp/scorch
laning against good yasuo's is really annoying,if the yasuo is good build tabi's if not just buy lucidity and cloth armor
remove his passive shield and try short-trading against him with your W and Q.
yasuo have Windwall,be careful when trading with him,he can easily dodge or block your E and R”
JoacoT31102 says “pick nunu against yauso, whit his windwall cant stop the snowball if you ar still casting it (no yauso expect that) and at lvl 6 basicaly go in with e and R and you kill him every time.”
EclipseMints says “Can block your whole combo with his windwall(w). He can also dodge your attacks by throwing q and teleporting(r) past them and fatally combo you.”
officialwiseguy says “Did you know Yasuo's windwall can't block your q or w? Most yasuos don't! Poke heavily, use autos to pop his shield when safe to do so. Standing in your minion wave will result in death.”
DaffeLaffe says “His Windwall and itemisation makes it is very easy for him to beat Diana. Try to kill him early before he hits his boots/vamp sceptre and if he's playing too safe, shove your wave and roam. Hit your q to hit of his shield, before you go for a trade, or an all-in. ”
soulentt says “Yasuo has great ability movement with his E, and his Q makes you airborne. Stay away and poke. Do this till the end of game, and also stay away from minions. If he engages, wait till he gets close to you and then Q him.”
Light99YT says “Wind Wall blocks all of you damage. Bait out the Windwall with your E Hail of Arrows, before you go for the all-in. Varus Mid does not have many threats at this time since he out damages and out ranges nearly every mid laner from start to finish. Keep your distance and you should be fine!”
Magmora says “Like yone but harder to find a decent player. Watch out for when his tornado is up (you see the particle effects and noise), and back away. Remember he can dash through minions and block q. Though he only blocks it if he hits the centre with windwall, a large enough q can just stun through it.
Yasuo may feel unwinnable to newbies, but from my experience he is one of those champs where understanding your enemy is the best and sometimes necessary way to fight them. If you are struggling with him, buy him and try him yourself to learn how he works.”

[Never use your R when his W is up, just farm and ask for ganks]
[Buy Zhonya's Hourglass]”
Juon says “Not that bad, since he is melee he is very easy to abuse. Start E so you don't get level 1 killed. This lane is basically just farming because if either of you make a mistake the other is dead. Run electro for free trades, and max E second.”
A Wanblee Wasta says “I really don't like Yasou. He can get easily snowball if he kills you on the lane. He can dodge your casts with W and E, he has a shield in passive for your full cast. Try to wait or bait, when he should use his W, for example, shoot him E + aa, then you will have about 10-13 second for new cast. Try to poke E + Q + AA in this timing. Don't let him poke himself with Q3.”
RyomaSengoku15 says “Yasuo's barrier can block your Q and ruin your entire combo (But that's not a problem if you consider that 99% of Yasuo's players are horrible)

TrueGIXERJ says “his W blocks everything that matters, which is a problem for you. Ideally bait him away from it or only fight him while it's on cd, but if you have to fight around it, use Q to jump through and around it to keep doing damage. dodge tornados.”
Fake Supp says “its one of the hard matchups for pyke but its so easy if u can predict him and u know when his Tornado was ready and he starts E around be patient when he E you .. you wil E away simple as that ... yes it need some practice to do so but you will get a hang of it eventually ”
NotGudAtGame says “A good yasuo will try to kite you so you cant even get close enough to auto attack. He outranges you and does better in extended trades.”
ChrisWasTaken says “The hasagi brothers are realy easy. Level 1 is a flip, I usually go for it. IF you do go for it, you have to dash auto, bait his q, auto auto etc. Basically I think of Xin as a kindof 3rd brother, basically same build only much easier execution.”
desch3445 says “Yasuo matchup is pretty micro-intensive. You're gonna have to juggle dodging his tornados, keeping track of his W CD 'cause a good chunk of your damage is projectile based, procing his passive without overstepping, and god forbid the enemy jungler has a knockup.
Take the First Strike page; Yasuo's a melee champ with unreliable poke. The worst you're gonna have to deal with is his Wind Wall, but that's annoying FS or no FS.”
ThePieBeam says “Yas is a weird champ, but it's really not too bad. His Q is pretty easy to dodge and his windwall can be played around, but his dashes can go over your wall and his E+Q combo is very scary for a widdle Anivia. Basically just play this lane as if his entire effective range is a little ways off of all of your minions. Don't throw 'Q's at him, he'll just E away or W. Basically just try to bait out his windwall with a really good W+E or R+W+E once you get it. If his windwall is down a good R can be devastating to him, just be very careful of him landing a Q2 since if he does that post-6 you're just dead.”
Bairdd says “Do not pick Twisted Fate into Yasuo. He will make lane miserable for you. His windwall blocks your entire kit and he can easily get on top of you.”
Massim00 says “Se il nemico prende Yasuo counterpikkare con Pantheon ti porta a vincere tutto l’early game e a rendere Yasuo inutile per tutta la partita (se I compiangi collaborano).
Da livello 1 bisogna cominciare a colpirlo con la Q ogni volta che si avvicina per fare un minion, cercate di fare il livello due prima di lui, e quando il suo scudo della passiva non é attivo(se é attivo colpitelo per farlo mettere in ricarica) colpite con la w , altri 2-3 auto-attacchi, una Q potenziata e se non é morto l’ignite.
(Consigliato primo set di rune)”
Epic_Semibold says “Really hard matchup. Not impossible... more like a random chance of getting obliterated. Try using your W when he uses Windwall. And do not press E until he lost his W.
Try dodging his skillshot and bait him under down with his ult with your ult. If he has a lane advantage, immediately build anti heal.”
TrueGIXERJ says “very very easy matchup, your Q outranges his so you can poke him with it, and if he decides to engage on you you out-sustain the majority of his damage. The only fears are if he Es away from your R or wind walls your W. but seriously, easy lane.”
Xerathiel says “QWR pass through windwall. Proc his shield with AA. DO NOT PUSH. Winions + his E = your death. He will outsustain your poke. Just ignore him he isn't a threat. ”
Raimi says “His passive shield can limit your burst, but it's not the end of the world. Make sure to wait out windwall so he can't block your ult or hide it. Make sure to kill him as you will get outscaled”
fLeXeRlol says “His W (Wind Wall) is able to block a whole Combo. He's just a Horror to play against with Ahri. Ban Yasuo in the Banning Phase to avoid playing against him.”
Callmebee says “I actually don't know which of the brothers I hate more. Stay a bit to the side/at the very back of your wave, nowhere near close to minions, so he can't dash to you. Farm with abilities but do try not to push, he is good at chasing. Don't try to poke him down outside charging your manaflow band, it's genuinely useless. The white bar he gets represents his shield: if needed (maybe you get a gank) pop this with an AA if it's safe to do so. Tip: your R goes through his Windwall, nothing else does, not even your shield. Take Barrier or Exhaust.”
Eriosunx says “Pretty hard if the Yasuo knows what he is doing.
He can punish every level 1 minion Q with AUTO+Q.
He can also nullify our E with this Windwall if the E collide between it.
Make sure to E orizontally and avoid all-ins if he has windwall up.”
Sandor Clegane98 says “Okay so the HASAGI samurai wannabe here can either be a really bad yasuo and get dumpstered like a bronze 4 or he can actually be good and make good E Q trades, effectively cheesing you into your ultimate death.So for those reasons it is generally better to be on the safer side and take a doran's shield,laning pre 6 is in your favor for as long as you dont get yourself MEGA harassed with his tornados so be sure to dodge them,all ins are in your favor,and since yasuo has quite a pushing nature don't hesitate to cheese him with jungler early for the extra tilt on his part,post 6 is also in your favor assuming you didn't horribly screw up,if you do, always consider that cheesy steelcaps rush.Some more smarter yasuo's will try to play you by denying you your passive by E thru minions while it runs out,so for extra kill potential on your part try not to stand near minions unless you know you're gonna kill him,same thing goes for late game if you feel like he can kill you.
Dshield or Dblade.”
Polartech says “Now his shield will parry your Autoattacks and your Q, first problem. Yasuo's Damages is surely higher than Kayle's Damages even after level 6, second problem. Try to play under tower taking less risks possible.”
TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Doran's Blade start.] This is personally my perma ban. This matchup can go very poorly if not handled well. This is the only matchup where I think maxing your E is better because your Q will just be removed by his windwall. Poke him every time he uses his tornado and get your E off before he can get to you. Do full swings and try to maintain distance until he is in kill threat. Post 6 be ready to disengage once he starts dashing through minions.”
lonestar1870 says “Yasuo is definitely a hard matchup for Syndra and a decent ban, but it really depends how good he is at Yasuo. A good Yasuo is really hard for you to deal with.
Good to set up slow pushes & let him push into you.
Freezing is great. He will get bored and go for a bad fight or your jungler will be able to gank him (One of Yas's bigest weaknesses is jungle ganks).
His mobility is tied around him using E on your minions. Throw Q when he isn't near your minions. Go for fights/trades away from minions. If you q-e-w-auto him, make sure to path away from your minions or he will be able to catch up to you.
His windwall will stop your Stun and Ult, butyour W goes through windwall.
You can stun him by predicting when/where he will E, it's easiest to land stun with W-E or E-Q. You need to play very patient and you may die if you miss abilities.
Don't waste abilities when his shield is up, auto him before you trade.
Yasuo can run you down. Don't push up far in lane unless you know you're safe. If he catches you out in river you probably lose the fight.
If he uses his E aggressively behind you early (near your tower), look to E-Q him to stun him under your tower for a free kill (happens a lot in lower elos).
Sitting on cloth/seekers helps a lot if you struggle vs him.”
Adventfaith says “Really comes down to skill on this one. Dodging his q's is vital. You can still tether him through windwall. so keep that in mind for ganks and self heals.”
Desperate Nasus says “Against Yasuo, for starting items buy Cloth armor and 4 potions. On your first recall buy Plated steelcaps and survive as much as you can. Take your second recall once you have gold for Sheen. After you have those 2 items with 100+ stacks you can run him down. Be careful when you all in a Yasuo. Make sure your minion wave isnt that big so he wont be able to dash many times. Bad news are after his Lord dominik's regards and Infinity edge he outscales you. Make sure to finish the game before 30 minutes.”
Markcelzin says “Ezreal DPS isn't realiable. Yasuo can close distance fast and the windwall (W) can nulify all the damage of your skills, leaving you only with Autos with a poor Atk. Speed since you haven't hit any enemy.”
RIPStollie says “The laning phase vs yasuo is not terrible, but the threat with him is his windwall. Later on in the game, try to wait out the ability before throwing your ult, or else you might be really sad.”
BlockPad says “like yone, yasuo still doing crazy damage and can block youre spell so take care. Need to harass a lot, start with Q and care of the timing he can engage you.”
Dorom says “Another skill-matchup I think, but Sylas is more likely to come out victorious than with Xerath. Yasuo will be trying to stay on your ass 24/7 with his Lethal Tempo, which isn't good for either of you. You can try and dash through his windwall and then knock-up him and ult him with his own Last Breath if you guys are already 6. Untill then, Sylas is still better I think.”
Lowkii_d says “Yasuo being able to consistently get on top of you makes it hard to grapplehook and his windwall makes you almost completely useless if used well.”
CashLOL says “Windwall shuts down all of your abilities. A good Yasuo will make teamfights very difficult for you. In lane his shield will need to be autoed off which will normally eat your passive. Lot's of dashes also make him hard to hit.”
Nafnegle says “He out-sustains and out-damages you. Did I mention his mobility? Make use of your max range, try to poke for Manaflow Band and play for teamfights. You CAN kill him early game but you have to know the match-up really well and most of the times it's not worth it. Dodge sideways, not backwards. Late game he becomes very problematic, so you and your team need to CC him and burst. Take Barrier and stay far, far away.”
DanielC0029 says “What can I say here? You heavy counter him, as an extra, on lvl 3you can deal a basic on him to waste his shield and apply a full combo, you win this trade without even using ignite. Use ignite when he flees under tower.”
ShokLoL says “Against Yasuo with ignite and E max you will have a lot of kill threat. Make sure to harass him with auto attacks and try to punish with your E whenever he wastes his tornado.”
pwins says “BAN. THIS. BITCH. Yasuo definitely invalidates Zoe as a champion. Try to hit his shield whenever you can and play passively. Look for an opportunity when he dashes towards you and put him to sleep. Lastly, try to bait out his windwall!”
TorvusDog says “He has a shield that constantly nullifies your "E" damage and the mobility of a god. It really depends on the Yasuo. If they are good then this lane is a nightmare. I would just go normal nasus.”
ObeyRageRr says “Due to him being melee you can get a lot of easy damage off in lane. However, you must watch out for his Q's through minions, You must not attempt to R him when the windwall (W) is in between you and him.
You should never panic R him while getting knocked up, if he R's at the same time it will cancel the sleep.”
Juplicate says “He has lots of dashes, a better early game, more overall damage output, and builds lifesteal. Don't fight against him early unless you are sure you can win, never Q3 if he has his up.”
Miscake says “A windwall é inútil aqui porque você consegue passar por baixo dela com seu E+W. Abuse no early e mantenha vantagem de HP, você deve ser capaz de dar oneshot nele com o back de Alternador Hextech, ainda mais com o setup de Eletrocutar + Ignite.
O único jeito do Yasuo te matar na lane phase é em uma troca longa onde o conqueror esteja completamente stackado e você esteja muito avançado graças à mobilidade infinita dele. Tome cuidado com a build de Brk, ela acaba sendo muito mais efetiva aqui do que a padrão de crítico.
Outra dica é não buildar armaguarda mesmo em situações onde você está atrás, a ult dele dá armor pen de graça então você fica em uma situação melhor tendo mais HP.
Também se acostume a soltar o E mais rápido que o normal, dar menos dano que a quantidade máxima é melhor que não dar dano nenhum contra a parede.
”
WayOfTheTempesst says “He is a lot stronger until level 3. Just don't take too much damage early and you're fine. He will
look to Windwall your Q3. You can always W his passive away. Try not to fight in the minion wave because he
will E over and over. This matchup is purely a skill matchup after level 3.”
Katawina52 says “Keep track on the minion wave while you're laning, the more minions the easier it is for Yasuo to perma E around like a headless chicken making it hard to trade properly. Yasuo is really vulnerable to ganks because he enjoys perma E'ing in so ping your jungler. Try to always let him come to you when you go for trades so he takes minion aggro aswell, so just let him E in and then you use your W > E onto W (remember that your E resets your autoattack, you're gonna use this a lot in the Yasuo matchup) Try to hold onto your Q as long as possible so he can't windwall it and render it useless (also useful tip in 2v2 fight or if your jungler ganks you). Also remember that fights in the jungle/river are way worse yasuo, because he can't perma E like he can on a minion wave so try to force fights there with your team.”
PlayCabex says “very easy match up against a bad yasuo , just poke and don't fight before lvl 3, your q can go through his windwall. Against a good yasuo it's quite tough to play into. Your best bet is to try to not die in lane and be even in levels”
eiensiei says “REACTIVE lane, not proactive - the only way to win this match-up is through Yasuo's mistakes. I won't step up higher than the line my ranged minions form in lane to avoid him dashing to me with E. I'll AA him whenever he comes close enough to remove his passive, but I won't waste my spells if he still has minions to jump to and dodge (if I hit anything, I'll proc my passive, as long as I STAY BEHIND THE LINE MY RANGED MINIONS FORM IN LANE). After 6 it's ideal if I'm around half HP and I get hit by a Q under my tower and he gets baited into diving me with R, forgetting I have barrier up. Otherwise he's hard to kill (ahead or not) without jungle help. His W doesn't stop Lux's R.”
Drewmatth Taliyah says “2 Dorans + Pots / 2 Dorans + Refillable + Tabis + Time Warp Tonic / Minion Demat for survival + Extra Cloth Armor if needed (which later will turn into Zhonya anyway but don't complete
anything until midgame because you will lack damage). Against Yasuo I'd play with Ignite because on ganks it will help you seal the kill, and compared to Zed/Katarina he doesn't have
that much kill pressure till mid game where he might burst you (but by that point you are far away and you have your team with you mostly). Alternative: Heal/Barrier
Perhaps one of the hardest matchups since he deals a lot of constant damage and unlike Cassiopeia who has a mana bar to take care of, his resources are limitless. I hope mostly that
Yasuo is banned by a teammate because I will prob ban Katarina. His kit counters pretty much of our kit. Our E does not deal that much damage to his dash so it's not really reliable, our Q gets easily countered by his W. The main point in this matchup is just to outroam. He will certainly follow but he is predictable in dashes so it's easier for your team to respond after you ganked. Your E will however lategame destroy him if placed properly (and if you are decently farmed/got some kills).
Your minions are his dash points so you will always have an idea of when he can reach you, so play accordingly. His Q's are dodgeable and you should try as much as you can, just side step when you see the animation. You should never get hit by his tornado post 6 because he will ult you. The tornado is much more simpler to dodge than his small Q's. Play with Exhaust, Heal or even Barrier for his ultimate. Always think where he is on the map so he does not catch you off guard and sits on top of your head for the next 10-15 seconds. His follow potential is insane so never get that close and just play safe in lane as much as you can. Ask for ganks if necessary and roam a lot. Try to get the kill with your jungler only when you are 100 percent certain you will get the kill - so when you have a hard cc spell available. You can use W+E through his wall if you position properly and you can get a huge
chunk of burst if you use E right before he dashes to you, BUT stay always close to tower post 6 because he has kill potential on you with his ult.”
Yeager says “Conqueror and fleet footwork both good options as this is a skill match up. Both of you will be playing for the same powerspikes
Things to keep in mind here:
Yasuo can windwall your third Q (unless you're super close to him, then he will still get knocked up) but you can deny his knockups with E2 and R since you can't be CC'ed during this time, so if you play it right, he shouldn't be able to ult you. All of Yone's abilities are skillshots and Yasuo is super mobile, so don't ever use your ultimate if he has minions to dash to. Always try to combine it with a Q3. Yasuo is squishy and Yone has ridiculous burst damage, so you always want to go for the short trades when your E is up and then you back off afterwards. Go for a fake engage to make him waste his windwall and then you can look for a all-in.
”
xblademojo says “Don't push at any cost, he will jump on the minions 24/7 to punish you. Try to let him push, play around your Force Pulse and iniciate quick trades only. Starting from the level 6 matchups get's easlier and you have outplay potential. Proc his shield with your Null Sphere.”
Polarshift says “You will need near perfect spacing/tethering skills as Ryze. Keep the wave at your side of the lane and don't take extended trades. His windwall will block both your Q and E, but not your W. Learn important ability cooldowns through an external website and fight enemies when their abilities are on cooldown.”
ISterbenI says “Annoying matchup. Just play safe and farm. But don't forget to punish his mistakes. Also try to land a sneaky Q on him, and if you do, don't forget to also E him. But don't get too close!”
TygoVe says “He can't do anything against you in lane, you outscale him and your ult does wonders against him in teamfights, basically just a free matchup. Only thing that can go wrong is that he will get a bunch of kills on his roams, but you can still easily destroy him in teamfights.”
AP WormMaW Mid says “This guy is definition of counterpick (if he knows what he is doing). Main problem is that he is hard to poke, due to his E. Another thing is that, if you try to autoattack minions, he can jump through them and harass you a bit and then just jump back, which will make laning against him annoying. Another thing is, that when he uses his wind wall, he can deny your farm, expecially if you try to last hit under your tower. Its really tricky even in lategame, when your team tries to go all-in against him, because if he uses right wind wall, you basically are unable to deal damage properly for several seconds, where in meantime your entire frontline might melt. On the other hand if he gets behind, he is not too hard to deal with, but it's always going to be frustrating.”
Avucado says “Start Q and try to hook him, the shield will absorb your q and part of your first auto. Never E through him because he can dodge it very easily or just windwall it. Ask for ganks because you never win 1v1 unless ahead and half of your kit is countered by windwall. Roam if possible but he can shove really fast so be careful not to lose too much. Steelcaps are really good if they have more ad on their team.
Matchup is a 4 in threat if he has other champs with knockups on his team. Dodge if he has a diana on his team.”
crabbix says “Did you know Yasuo's windwall can't block your q or w? Most yasuos don't! Poke heavily, use autos to pop his shield when safe to do so. Standing in your minion wave will result in death.”
LunarVortex says “The Yasuo matchup is surprisingly easy. He has no magic damage to break your shield and he can only get out of your R if there's targets to dash on nearby. Don't try to Q him if his Windwall is ready, instead, start the fight with ult, wait for the ult to stun him, then melee range Q him. Exhaust makes this matchup a lot easier. In teamfights, prevent him from doing anything with your E. Shut him down with Q and R as soon as he goes in. His best bet here is to sidelane instead because you make teamfights too difficult for him.”
Halfhand says “TIPS: Same thing as Irelia but this guy can also block all your spells with his shield. Don't push the lane, try to keep the wave just in front of your turret range and wait for ganks or just scale up safely. Yasuo players tend to make 'silly' mistakes, punish him when he messes up.”
Yeager says “Yasuo loves this matchup. Early game you need to let him push the wave. You can try get a freeze infront of tower so you can farm safe. A good Yasuo will always win this matchup 1 v 1, so you need to stay safe and farm until your lvl 6. At level 6 you gank the other lanes and get your teammates ahead so they can carry. ”
Curt Mcbeltpants says “Even matchup, if he runs fleet he out sustains and if he runs conqueror he out trades. One mistake and it might be gg mid. Most yasuo's play like kamikazes though so is easily gankable. Early steelcaps and seekers, bramble is viable as well.”
Fuzzmonkey says “Yasuo is a decent matchup for LB but it can work in favour for Yasuo if
he plays it well. Bait windwalls out with Q/autos. Land chains on him(very important). If he windwalls your chains, you'll be forced to dash or flash away. Edit: In patch 9.3 Crit items were changed and have made Yasuo even stronger especially with the new Phantom Dancer. I would suggest trying your best to snowball/killing him as many times possible early before he gets his Phanton Dancer then start roaming as you will not be able to kill him once he get's PD.”
Yeager says “Let him push the wave and attempt to freeze at your side of the lane. He's melee so he can't do anything if you get a freeze. His windwall can block your ball mid-movement, so it stops right infront of his W.
Corrupting potion is a good start into Yasuo, as you can get a lot of extra damage with autos and abilities. It also screws up his passive shield .
”
Fuzzmonkey says “Ok, so I found Yasuo to be completely aggravating to deal with. Baiting his windwall is extremely hard since your E animation isn't exactly fast. I'd highly recommend trying to bait his W out to do anything to him. Otherwise he'll be able to walk all over you.”
iZianni says “E

E

E
E
E
E
Windwalls our ult, I hate this guy.
You win pre-4 if he doesn't start E, but once the mobility becomes an issue you basically can't touch him. Wind wall is just too impactful in this match up, look to win team fights through pick potential.
”
Aegox says “His wind wall will block almost all damage you do. He'll dash onto you and almost instantly kill you. Pretty much your only hope if he gets close to you is to hit an E and run.”
Folver says “Don't get too hit by his Q abilities, which you can try to hit him with every missed Q.
When it has Double Q just wait
I recommended playing ignite flash
Doran Shield safer
But I like Doran Blade :D”
wDesired says “You do nothing to him lvl 1 just try to get all your CS until you get at least lvl 3 and start poking him , let him waste his windwall before going all in.”
ToHadesWithYou says “Another mobility champ. Be carefull to not play aggressively, cause he could rush from the minions. Depending on the player, if he could block your E that is a trouble. But if he uses his W after you hit him with your E, try to hit him from sideways or even use your passive cause it pierces through his shield.”
mrmundo says “A skill matchup. Try not to be near minions too much because he benefits from them. He can infinitely dash and dodge your abilities. If you catch him off guard, you can easily beat him. Be wary of his windwall. It can block your E and R ”
ShokLoL says “Honestly it's a pretty good 1v1 matchup with electrocute ignite as long as you make sure to get rid of his passive shield before you fight, and don't get your E wind walled. The main reason this is hard is because Yasuo will normally be paired with Diana or Gragas which makes teamfights absolute hell for you. Definitely pick up a zhonya second item.”
leonidas44 says “He has a lot of mobility. Use protobelt or q to destroy his shield. Be careful when you go in to take minions or to deal him dmg. Use your w wisely so you can stun him and get dmg to him. After the protobelt rush anti-healing if he takes immortal shieldbow.”
Kords says “Yasuo is a funny one. He is hard to deal with but as you get better at Sol, the easier this matchup becomes. Yasuo start Q are a free lane, just shove them in, Yasuo's that start E however, is an entirely different story. You have to give up priority for that time being and farm safely, otherwise you take bad trades and you don't really want that. During the rest of the lane. You will most likely be forced to stay mid because his ability to take towers are among the best in the game, and you REALLY cannot afford to give up mid tower so early. But what you can do is force a gank on him, he can get caught in the middle of trying to EQ you, just use your ult on him to slow him, wait for windwall to Q him, it blocks it. Should you be in the position to get ulted, you can ult him under tower after he lands from his ult. He outscales you every time, so make sure to stay away from him later on.”
ShokLoL says “Yasuo can be quite difficult if they have a strong AP jungler, the most important thing is not to waste mana. If you throw skills you have to be sure they will hit otherwise you will run oom. Recommend phase rush TP.”
ShokLoL says “QW trades will be really good for you. Make sure to pop his shield before going in. Be careful of him dodging your W with E. Save E for when he dashes onto you and try not to let it get windwalled.”
iZianni says “Windwall = Ball stops
Sad.
Its hard to hit a 900 dash champion and deal with his sustain from omnivamp. Side laning is a nightmare due to wind wall too because he can kill us very easily, but I think this match up is Orianna favored skill wise.”
Ambitieux says “Yasuo matchup is like the Fizz matchup, its nearly impossible except for Yasuo its more of a mental block. If your able to bait out Yasuo wind wall the champions isn't that good against you, but early lane his passive allows himself to stay in lane and naturally farm for boots/attack speed were the lane slowly gets harder. I very hard suggest jungler support in this matchup, look for charm when he is dashing through minions and try to throw it out at either erratic times, or point blank in his face. A big secret though is he CANNOT w while he is animation for his tornado q. This is the safest time to land a charm, BUT this is also a double edged sword because if you miss, you could die. Probably look for armguard TECH and roaming around map. And double armor runes.”
Elite500 says “Can be EASY AF or HARD AF, all depends on how good the yasuo is, if you play consistantly though you'll have experienced this matchup a lot, aa his shield away, play around his tornado, pool it at level 6, q him at every chance you get, play mindgames with his windwall, let go of E super early sometimes, fuck with his brain”
Dr Eggmund says “His early game threat is his mobility advantage in you, this is the time where you need to play sensible. With no mana costs and spamable abilities, he has the upper-hand so respect him. He is very prone to jungler ganks so it may be best to wait for one, otherwise test him out with some pokes and get a feel for what you can get away with in this match-up.”
kindo says “Yasuo is much easier of a matchup than you'd think. Many of the small lane trades he takes benefit Kindred more than him, you can walk up to auto his shield off whenever, just save W for when he engages and uses windwall. When he throws windwall, drop W so that the windwall is near the edge, walk to the other side of your W circle and wait. If he stands in the windwall, your W will continuously bite him for free damage. If he walks past the windwall, you win in melee range. Never fight when your W is down. Even post level 6 you can win by baiting him in to overextend in your ult and execute him after. Something to note, it is possible to get your ult off between the point his ult damage hits and throws his q. It's tight timing, but spamming it is possible. The problem with yasuo begins when midgame comes around and team fights start. A teammate with a knockup can easily bring him on top of you and force your ult, then disengage with windwall. Given your long ult CD, this tends to be a problem and he can snowball hard from it. Just be aware what knockups exist on the enemy team and try to not let him get in range for free.”
Baion says “His only counterplay is his Wind Wall against your E and his mobility. Poke him when he last hits minions and destroy him early game to get a mid gap at late game. Your ult is really strong against him.”
iZianni says “You basically just afk farm because you are permanently pressured in this match up without jungle assistance.
He can't kill you because of the range advantage, but you can't really do anything to him either.
You can easily win through team fights, but Yasuo is a hit or miss 1v9 so giving him that opportunity is scary.”
Baion says “High mobility and Wind Wall. Yasuo is a great counter to you. Don't engage, just wait he goes to you. And his shield is really annoying. Best combo when he dashes to you: Q + 3AA's and E to leave.”
Zethal_Na says “If you are inexperienced vs yasuo as cassio, this matchup will be really hard. DO not throw out your qs as decent yas will dodge them easily. If he dashes towards you, q onto yourself.”
Coldsong says “Yasuo is a skill matchup. If he is good, his W will negate 80% of your damage and he will dodge every W you throw out with his E. Make sure to play around his passive shield by breaking it early and don't engage when he has his tornado Q up. Plated Steelcaps is good into him as well since his Q counts as a basic attack.”
DemonDiana says “Scales better, more lane sustain, windwall to block Q, can fight you at all times. Can take Elec into the matchup as Conq doesnt give enough healing or AP in early-mid game to reliably trade/fight him. Yasuo's weakness is fighting in an area w/o minions to E to and this is when you can fight him reliably. Yasuo is weak to a camping jungler and Diana is great with a camping jungler. ”
Shikikashi says “He outscales us late game and can easily beat us in the early game, best thing to do is max E first since we cannot hit him with our Q in most times, especially if it is a good Yasuo, bait him to using windwall so that we can then all in him if we are ahead.”
zedlove6969 says “This depends on the yasuo player, if its a yasuo OTP, you may be screwed because he knows how to play with his windwall to block your double/triple Q's. If its a new yasuo player, you should be fine for the most part because they won't know how to play around his windwall.”
TismoTheTilted says “Bait out his windwall and try to remove his passive shield with your Q before doing your combo.
Try to stay away from minions in fights, and if he's sure to R you, you can dodge it with yours.”
Marxismo says “Another super easy matchup. He can only tornado slowly at early levels, so if you dodge his first tornado, get in for free harass. At 6, just ult whenever you think he will ult you, and then all-in him while hes trying to recharge his tornado. Even if he lands ult on you, you can usually take him on.”
resetwice says “He scales well so take care. Use your W to remove his passive shield. If he wastes E to get closer to you use you mQ for crit damage. Remember that his windwall can block your combo so only all win if this ability isn't up. Try buying Executioner's or Serpent's Fang is he's feed. BEST RUNES TO GO: CONQUEROR”
Kessi says “This matchup is whoever thinks ahead of the other one. He's probably gonna abuse his lvl 2 and outpush you. Tradings are safe (with bush) but I recommend getting his passive out before
doing so. Remember Yasuo is still really squishy. Perfect example of a skill matchup.”
Beardo1557 says “Quite easy pre 6 but after lvl 6 if he catches you with an ult you will die as he can stand inside you to deny you using your e to escape”
MaiconMST says “Com essa runa pode ser complicado, por causa da barreira de vento, que pode atrapalhar todo o combo, e também sua mobilidade que faz você errar o Q e o W facilmente.”
Nodrog says “His windwall can stop your 2 shuriken throws from you and your shadow, and you cant get your electrocute proc. He also has high mobility making it hard to land your combos.”
jmo0 says “Yasuo is another tough matchup for Ahri. A skilled yasuo will hold his wind-wall for your charm, but play around its cooldown and try to bait it out with a Q or W. MAKE SURE to take off his shield with a Auto Attack before trading, and rush seekers. ”
angeLoon says “he can punsih you very easily early,but if you be patient you will just win.
try to not mess up your minion wave to give him a free freeze”
Sylvan Lore says “Yasuo is a matchup that you will improve at over time. I used to think it was a lot worse than it is. Early game when he is a low threat, make sure to auto attack him to get his passive shield down before going for a trade. Take not of whether or not he takes Q or E level 1 as he can surprise you with mobility and damage by taking E level 1. You outrange him but if he ever gets close to you or lands an ult, you are in for a lot of pain. I would recommend building some armor so you can take a bit of damage, but mostly you just want to get lots of damage to poke him out before the trade starts. Always respect his ability to get close to you through a minion wave and he should be fine.
Recommend: Exhaust and Vs. AD Assassin. This is the one time i take exhaust against a champion since there is always enough time to exhaust him while he is Ulting you and you can block tons of his all in. ”
Wholesomefrog says “He can basically block everything you have, i would consider banning him because if hes good you will end up feeding him very hard.”
TheDisconnectEUW says “FOR MIDLANE AND TOPLANE
In toplane it's impossible! You need jungle ganks or it's a go next!
Still very difficult in midlane, but atleast a bit more playable. His windwall and general mobility is not playable in a 1v1 situation. With ganks it can be okay.”
Saddest says “Stay away from your minions, as he will use them to get to you and inflict a max damage E on you. Avoid the ranged Q's. Everyone knows that you cannot duel a Yasuo, so do not make an attempt to take an extended fight with him unless you're extremely sure it will end with him dying and not you. Try and proc his shield with your Q bounce (he will wind wall a direct Q) and quickly trade him and whittle him down until you can take him out. If he R's you, E away from him as he will have temporary armor penetration that gives him a tremendous spike in damage. You usually do not want to all in him until his wall is used, so be conscious of it and its CD.”
Yumi Project says “This two matchup are a waste of time
He cant kill you, but can Outfarm you.
your all-in is better BTW. (but his healing are better then yours).”
Avyxia says “Windwall counters us entirely so force it out if you want to try anything but he just destroys us with his e being able to dash everywhere too”
SpoonMe says “This windshitter's windwall can mess you up pretty bad. He can also get on top of you pretty easily and you can't do anything about it.
If the yasuo player isn't the best, this will probably be an easy matchup.”
Potato Power says “Slippery slip slip, his stupid pasive shield and E are so annoying... and on top of that he farms so well, this is basically just a farming contest and nothing else”
Mr. Popper says “This is a skill based matchup. get in his head dodge his Q's and respect how fast he can gap close.
I recommend taking a tanky build with frostfire gauntlet or goredrinker with a more damage focused build.”
Impossible2Gank says “Due to the nature of his kit and not needing mana he can be troublesome early game but still easy to bait for your jungler though so look out for those plays.”
Mylan2122 says “Doable but he can dodge a lot just by clicking e. Your Q and W go through his wind wall so it is practically useless. You should be able to keep enough social distance to mitigate his threat. ”
ReapeRGP says “Don't play near minions and dodge the tornados the best you can. Bait his W before using your R. Consider taking Exhaust and build Zhonya's.”
N0EG0 says “Hard lane, can be playable though. break shield with your Q and try to E him if he dashes on minions or W as he last hits. don't take long trades u almost never win them. try your best to save R to dodge his nado at 6+. ”
duhnx says “If you take short trades and focus on not getting ulted, you can easily win this. Just don't get cocky and remember that his windwall blocks Q and E.”
King Turtle says “He's someone you can occasionally poke, and win quick trades against. with your wide swing you can sometimes bypass his wind wall and get some cheap damage off.”
richardlized says “A skill matchup, Yasuo is in theory a Zed counter since his windwall can block Zed’s Qs and he can also dash away from them. In this matchup, Conqueror E max is recommended. Level 1 just try to farm and same with level 2. Level 3 wait for yasuo to stack up his nado, walk up to him so he uses it and immediately WEQW forward to dodge his nado and get a easy trade. After 6, if he is around half hp, ult him and start autoing him while weaving Es into the combo. Note that you DO NOT want to ult him when he has nado stack, because a good yasuo will just Q behind yourself or do the point blank EQ flash guaranteed knockup trick.
”
Katasandra says “[1] Your W instantly stops his dash
[2] Don't sit in your minion wave: your minions are his mobility.
[3] Back off when his 3rd Q is up and dodge it.
[4] His W blocks your E. Be careful when pushing up as this can deny your escape if his jungle ganks him.”
PH45 says “Try to pick fights when there aren't many creeps for him to dash around. Try to stay out of line with your minions when he is farming so you won't get poked at the same time when he is farming. He is relatively squishy so you can probably take him on but try to take out his shield before a fight. Dash around his windwall to make it as useless as possible. ”
Thresh Mid says “Likewise with Yone, Yasuo is impossible for Thresh to death with. With multiple ways to disengage from your damage, and his windwall killing your engage from Death Sentence.”
Hienaa says “All super easy because they are melee, and if you hit 1 Q on them, they get instantly half hp and cant even contest the trade, super free lanes.”
xMetix says “Take down his shield with long range Qs before trading. Watch out for his windwall when you want to ult, they will usually use it instantly when you dash with E so just wait it out with Grass.”
DabiDabi says “Yasuo is probably the most skill based match up for Talon. Yasuo hitting his Q's determines the fight, so try to avoid them. Calculate his windwall so you won't miss both of your W. Yasuo will usually windwall backwards to block your returning W and dash to you to hit melee knockup. If his windwall is down, W to proc his passive and all in him if you are sure you can kill him, or at least not lose trade.”
Nanelol says “Tough matchup but not the worst. If he freezes the wave ping your jungler. Play with your W around him, Q when he has his shield up again and trade with AA and W.”
DabiDabi says “Level 1, try to poke him with your Q while avoiding his Q's. Your Q is both longer and wider range than Yasuo's. Dodge his tornadoes. Let Yas dominate level 2. You'll win from lvl 3 and up. This matchup is actually very easy, it all depends on who gets more hits onto each other. Your Passive bypasses his Windwall.”
Nanelol says “His windwall will negate pretty much all of your damage, because it takes away Q. Be really careful because he's very mobile and a skilled Yasuo will make your life Hell. If he goes on you, the best bet is to kite him out as much as you can. Stay back from the wave and let it push into you. If he's going to tower dive, try and root him. If he hits you with a tornado, I'd kiss yourself goodbye, because he's gonna ult you, and you probably stand no chance after he does. ”
tozosi says “Skill matchup. Try to get a good trade off at level 2 by proccing passive since Yasuo players almost always go E level 2 and just press it on the entire wave for some reason. If you're able to get a good trade level 2, then the lane shouldn't be difficult. If he happens to get some kills early though, you're lane is usually pretty screwed unless Yasuo misplays.”
TheSecretsWithin says “Yasuo is actually surprising even, don't be scared. Max your E, against Yasuo with how much he spams his Q and E. Your E should be up 90% of the time. Conqueror in this matchup is your best friend. The dueling from E and Conqueror is so strong. Don't forget to R away if he has his tornado to prevent an E-Q guaranteed knock-up. Frozen Heart into Yasuo is actually quite effective, the armor for his damage. The mana to match his sustain and the Ability Haste that allows you to stack your conqueror quickly. The passive to reduce his attack speed which affects his Q cd.”
3Riptide3 says “Counters AP TF but not AD. When he engages on you cycle through your cards to threaten his full dive when he overextends past windwall. Punish when the opportunity presents itself.”
Nanelol says “He Has All Tools To Deal Against You. His Windwall Blocks Your E, Avoid Staying Near Minions and try to bait out his Windwall and then use your E. But as most Yasuo Players tend to play aggresively, get help from your jungler as he burns out his "W". He wont be able to his W much often and will play much more safe.
”
Gamile 99 says “Este puede ser un enemigo molesto porqué está todo el rato moviendose y tiene mucho daño y sustain, pero si la jugamos bién no tendriamos porqué perder.”
TheDuskWalker says “MID
Flash Ignite or Ghost Ignite. Phase Rush or Electrocute.
Respect his early mobility and poke. Giving up some early cs is fine. Farm up and outscale him. ”
Jinx_48 says “He healing so much with d blade early try to poke his passive shield with Q short trade with him with using W in the end. His ult from your hand can be only used fast while second E when you land it so spam like yas main this .”
FYCK says “Yasuos wind wall (W) is very overpowered against ranged champs.
His wind wall can block all enemy projectiles except tower shots.
He can play around the wind wall, poke you down from behind the wall and you will die in no time. Only try to go in when he has already used his wind wall.
Note: Yasuo also has a shield as a passive. You can bypass that shield by simply just autoattacking him once when his passive/shield meter is full. Serpents Fang will be very useful against them filthy Yasuo mains as it removes some of the shield.”
Nanelol says “You have to understand Yasuo's R mechanics and where he will be placed to win against him. Place a smart stun field post-6 to trap him when he ults and pre-6, poke him out while keeping your distance. Since your empowered auto attack goes through windwall, abuse him when you can then peace out when he starts stacking his Q. Preferred rune: Summon Aery/Phase Rush ”
lolzayno says “High mobility making it hard to hit skill shots. Has wind wall to block abilities which heavily counters ziggs. During the early game you want to get auto attacks off when he steps up to farm if possible. Standard combo to maximize damage when he goes up to farm is auto + q + auto. When he aggresively charges at you with his dashes and gets closer to turret, use satchel to knock him into turret to force damage on yasuo. Satchel is essential in this matchup as its the only ability to use to get separation other than flash.”
Sanctuar says “Experienced Yasuo players will close the gap quickly to deal damage in the most efficient way possible. Always make sure to keep your distance and past level 6, punish him with your entire combo if he commits into a fight. He is a melee champion, so harass him as much as possible to prevent him from dominating the lane.”
fanchessfan says “Most people would say that Yasuo is a very bad matchup for Vayne, but he's .... Yasuo. If he dies once, he will reach his powerspike in no time. In the mid-game, you must be very careful in side-lanes as once Yasuo goes 0/10 recall immediately and hide in your fountain until he goes 0/11.
On a more serious note, against Yasuo if you get knocked up once your pretty much dead. However with q-max you should hopefully be able to dodge each of his nados. If he tries to e onto you you can simply e him away. Both the range of your auto attacks and the range of your E outrange Yasuo's e so if you space well he shouldn't be a problem. ”
shidonryoku says “Unpleasant match, you will be farming under the tower. In general, it is possible to kill him after level 6, if you dodge at least one Q and wind. After buying 40 AP, you can poke him very often and a lot, after 6 lvl you have even more opportunities for poking. Rape him.”
Vispectra says “Ah Yasuo , this one is entirely skill based. A good Yasuo will often Q dash into your face Autoattack you knock you up and dash away , leaving you barely any time to react to it. The one's that abuse auto-attacks are the ones that will hurt you the most. Fleet is a good option into Yasuo and you max E to not only slow him to stop him from getting to you , but it also goes right through windwall. You can often R the second he has knocked you up which will displace you although you'll still be ulted by him you can make it so that he is under your tower. He scales pretty well so don't rely on your late that much into this.”
Iannis623 says “// Can counter you easly //
His windwall can screw you over completely, block all your abilities and since you're a slow attacker, if he jumps on you, you're done for”
RTO says “E can be used constantly as gap closer as long as he has minions around. Be wary of his tornado. His windwall will block your Q and put it on CD. Get armor!”
StarTundra says “Yasuo's biggest assets are his gap closing E, his windwall which blocks all of your abilities, and his shield which prevents your burst from doing 40% hp and cuts it down to a measely 25-30%. Fighting yasuo as anivia is one of the more big brain matchups that aren't just dodging everything because they outrange you. In order to fight yasuo, you have to play near perfectly. Take phase rush, Proc his passive shield whenever it's up with an AA. also just kinda chuck those at him early whenever possible because he can't do anything about it except maybe use his third Q. After he gets his dash always be wary because he can engage on you at any time so long as you are within minion range, and your q wont save you until after his windwall is gone. You can bait out his windwall with E's and AA's pretty effectively. Yasuo is very dangerous and should be treated with caution”
Basse74 says “Really high mobility, short cooldowns and a great amount of damage makes Yasuo very hard to play against if you cant get your w and e off at the right time and dont have enough early damage with your items.”
SeptikYT says “Similar to Yone, it is a skill matchup but it is more Garen favored. Dodge his Q3 and also play behind your minions as he will dash to them. Take Conqueror or Grasp depending on whether you need to be a tank or do damage.
”
cookanarities says “Yasuo is much easier of a matchup than you'd think. Many of the small lane trades he takes benefit Kindred more than him, you can walk up to auto his shield off whenever, just save W for when he engages and uses windwall. When he throws windwall, drop W so that the windwall is near the edge, walk to the other side of your W circle and wait. If he stands in the windwall, your W will continuously bite him for free damage. If he walks past the windwall, you win in melee range. Never fight when your W is down. Even post level 6 you can win by baiting him in to overextend in your ult and execute him after. Something to note, it is possible to get your ult off between the point his ult damage hits and throws his q. It's tight timing, but spamming it is possible. The problem with yasuo begins when midgame comes around and team fights start. A teammate with a knockup can easily bring him on top of you and force your ult, then disengage with windwall. Given your long ult CD, this tends to be a problem and he can snowball hard from it. Just be aware what knockups exist on the enemy team and try to not let him get in range for free.”
httprmc says “Same as Yone : he outstats you and can dash you in from the other side of the lane so be careful kite him around. Whatever happens, DO NOT let him ult you”
TheWerefloof says “Makes your ultimate more useless then it is, but pre 6 has nothing on you. He has to be in your wave to use his mobility, so marking him for your swing should be very easy. Don't engage if he has wind, or when he has boots + 1 stack towards it since he can get it pretty quick. Though that doesn't matter if you dodge it, ofc.”
InstalockVayne says “Skill matchup, play around he's Windwall, go in if he wastes it and if you fighting hold your autos when he uses it and get to a better position.”
DarDarThePenguin says “Yasuo has higher base damage than Yone early game while having more mobility due to his E. This makes the early game against him rough. After item power spikes you beat him. Take the Standard page and Armor.”
PRoli03 says “Not easy but manageable. You have to play this lane as boring as possible. He can walk up but you can run. Try not to lose early on and make him lose patience. An overaggressive yasuo is easy to bring down. (Lethal tempo)”
P3PPR says “its like the Yone matchup (see the tiny tab) but windwall makes it a tad harder. a good Yasuo wont get caught but in hindsight when was the last time you saw a good Yasuo? ”
iamcasualty says “A good yasuo will dodge your skill shots, windwall your stun plus ult. he'll spin circles around you. A bad yasuo will waste his windwall and not reliably use his E dash to dodge your skill shots. tank brand is fun into him :)”
Kirito OTP Xerath says “Durante la fase de líneas mantente al tanto de cada cuanto tiene su tornado para intentar dodgearlo, evita estar pegado a la oleada de minions ya que se puede acercar con su E, y asegúrate de ver cuando gasta su muro de viento, ya que con este puede cancelar nuestro aturdimiento, cuando tenga nivel 6 deberías considerar Zhonyas para evitar su tornado y al mismo tiempo evitar que use su definitiva.”
TheMockingSnowman says “Buy Seeker's Armguard and/or Plated Steelcaps early. He have too much sustain along with an item powerspike. Either wait for your jungler to gank your lane or outroam him as much as you can.
”
A55AILANT says “Windwall (W) can stop the majority of your damage, he's extremely mobile and can shred through you easily. Try keep the wave near your tower, kite him and try to avoid his tornados.
Avoid extended trades.”
Boomblight says “gg ez, In lane start using e and then q him and instantly recast to stun so there is no way for him to outplay you with minions. You will never lose 1v1 with mortal reminder”
3pitesgiro says “If you are not careful he is a major threat, but you can deal with him with the help of your jungle. Try to trick him to use his wall, after he uses it, throw all your spell on him and you will be fine”
SirGRC says “Keystone: Fleet
I have had a lot of games sense this was last updated and all you need to do to deal with Yasuo is to just play like a coward. Hug you tower and try not to leave it. Dodge his tornados and his Q pokes. He will get annoyed and either try and tower dive or fall behind or off as the game progresses sense he cannot get any gold. Be careful thought because of his split push potential. ”
Dimitrisbabas1 says “Yasuo is a good matchup because he cant touch you with most of his attack while you are in your E nad also u have 0 projectiles witch makes his W ussless.”
GhoastlyGiant9352 says “kite him well and you can win in the early game if you dont sidestep his tornado you will lose lane pressure.
his 10 death power spike is your main fear.”
Oxydation says “Skill matchup. Dont play it, if you are not confident on Akali. Yasuo has so much Playmaking potential. Dodge his E Q(Whirlwind) combo with your E and W if he Tornado you, so he cant R(he need to see you to R you).”
DeathStar04 says “Debating on whether Yasuo is a Major Threat or an Extreme Threat. Dealing with Yasuo can be very tricky, as his Q3 can poke you out if the Yasuo can predict your movement. He also has no mana, and low cooldowns, meaning he can poke you very frequently. Also, the biggest downside to this matchup is his Windwall (W). It can block your Auto-Attacks, your Q (Empowered Auto-Attacks), your W, your E (although a good Yasuo shouldn't be blocking your E), and worst of all, your R. It has a long cooldown at Level 1, but Yasuo can easily put a few points into W before maxing E, or just max W second (He always maxes Q cause it's Yasuo). A very good ban choice.”
NINSHINIK says “Every Yasuo player are bully lane because he can farm better and faster than you on every phase of the game. Get babysitted by your jungler to shut him down (when he will be 0/4) for longer game.
”
pastizio53 says “wouldnt say extreme but its more like even. He can actually kill you if you take 2 many bad trades. If your jungler is good and reacting to his overextends than its free elo but you cant depend on that and thats where yasuo gets really annoying.”
FrostbiteMW says “Hard to play because of his mobility. Upside is that his windwall can only block your stun, so be careful when using it. Be aggresive early and always try to poke, dont step too far tho since he can easily go in through the wave.”
FrostbiteMW says “Hard to play because of his mobility. Upside is that his windwall can only block your stun, so be careful when using it. Be aggresive early and always try to poke, dont step too far tho since he can easily go in through the wave.”
Daers says “Get your W first, and try to get his shield passive down whenever it comes up. Go in for quick trades since he beats you in sustained fights. Don't go on him if his passive is up. Keep poking him with your Q. Take ignite.”
SpartanDumpster says “Definitely a skill match up. Right now I'd say it's more in Yone's favor, partly because he is newer. Yasuo's pretty common to see, sometimes it feels like not banning him might as well be an invitation for someone to play him. As Yone, you could have the advantage of having more experience against Yasuo's, you might have some idea how they tend to play, when they'll try to engage, etc. Yasuo could have the advantage of having more experience with the champ, since they could have been playing him since a good while before Yone was released or even on PBE. So while you've only had months to practice Yone at this point, that Yasuo could have had years!
One advantage Yone has is that both of your Q knock ups have about the same duration. If you and Yasuo Q3 at each other at about the same time, you'll both get knocked up and be interrupted for the same amount of time. This could mean two things, early on, you both have the chance to back off and sort of reset in lane. Once you have your ults, Yasuo can't use his since he was also knocked up, but you could still use yours once you're back on the ground. Of course, if there's anything for him to dash to, he could dodge your ult pretty easy.”
Sailor MOwOn says “Yasuo can be annoying, but even with GOOD Yasuos in Low Elo, they're not a big problem for you. Windwall does not block your R and it has a long cooldown anyway.”
VeneficusFerox says “Seriously annoying with his Wind Wall, blocking each and every one of your attacks. Avoid matchup when possible. Also because he will feed on your team mates, just like Diana.”
Excalibxr says “This matchup is very Yasuo favored, although it is my current favorite matchup for Katarina, as there is a kind of dance to it. Yasuo can dash through your daggers to dodge the damage. Make sure you have proc'd his shield when you try to trade him or you won't win the trade. When you place a dagger, stand on the center of it, and if he tries to e through it, walk backwards so that he can't dodge it. Past level 6, use your e to get behind him when he uses his 3rd Q. When you ult, make sure he has already used windwall because it will block your ultimate. ”
Joseph Evanss says “He will beat you early a little bit, and the matchup is super volatile. If you and your jungler kill him its basically over and you also out scale him by a lot because your champion is simply better. Try to be close up to him when you use q3 because the first half of the ability cannot be windwalled, also use w or a q to break his shield if its up before going in. If he presses q on a minion you can walk up for a free q because his will be on cd but then walk away. Go Bone Plating, Overgrowth + D Blade.”
ahspaghetti says “track the minion wave as yasuo will be able to e around the wave like a headless chicken. in this matchup you will always want to use auto -> e -> auto combo. so the best way to respond to yasuo enage is to w -> auto -> e -> auto -> pickup dagger -> auto -> e -> auto. but make sure you get rid of his shield first. remember that you almost always want to fight in the jungle or river as yasuo is less mobile in which he cannot e around as much.”
BlackIllusion1 says “Very hard matchup, go d blade for start and rush BOTRK. Try to all in him lvl 3 but wait for his passive to be off. Keep in mind his Wind Wall is 30s cd on lvl 1. ”
Black Shadow QIYANA says “Dont go for a 1v1 without removing his shield and poking him he will kill you really easy and has windwall which can dodge your q or r”
7daysko says “Use your AAs to proc his passive. His wall is better than yours and if he's any good, he will attempt to play around it when fighting you. Don't try to fight him around your creeps as he can potentially dodge everything. This matchup favors you hard late-game, but your laning phase is going to be sub-optimal.”
JoshAy says “Don't let him poke you down and you'll be fine. He is mobile so hitting your E will be hard especially with windwall. Try and get onto him with a W before so he can't windwall you. Your E2 is a knockup so you can use his ult. Ult is okay for 1v1 and can be really good in teamfights if you have a knockup on your team.”
JustMTK says “A good yasuo can be a real pain 1V1 as qiyana. He'll be able to block some spells with his windwall (including ultimate). Also since he's dashing through minnions some Q's won't be able to hit.”
ryzetrox says “Yeah braindead yasuos wont win against you but good ones will be untouchable. You basically have no abilities thanks to his E and windwall. After he gets PD hes immortal. You wont kill him.”
harris tegas says “the only thing that is scary is his W because he is problem for your Q and E but do him do it first . but if you cant just try to dont block your E”
The Jhin Cena says “Take either Conqueror Rune Page. A Yone vs Yasuo lane typically comes down to a skill match up, though personally I think Yone has a slight edge over Yasuo in the mid to late game. While Yasuo has the tools to outplay a Yone, it is easier to outplay a Yasuo as Yone. The most reliable engage I use is if Yasuo has his Q stacked, I stand away from him and once he throws it, use my E to dodge and then engage from there. If Yasuo tries to dash his Q onto you, you can also avoid the stun by casting your E and recasting it right when he dashes onto you, and from there you can duel him since he won't be able to dodge your abilities by dashing through you. If Yasuo tries to ult you, face your ult toward him and right when he ults, you will get your ult off and teleport behind him. This however is a last resort if you don't have your E to dodge his Q. If Yasuo windwalls, it will block the projectile of your Stacked Q, but to counter this simply get close enough to Yasuo to where you will dash through the wall and knock him up. ”
Ryank30 says “Fleet or Conqueror. It is very Yasuo favored in the early game, but his damage output is almost the same as yours. Respect his mobility early on, and try to punish him if he misses his Q3, and use your E and your own Q3 to fight back.Take short trades only. His annoying dashes and Wind Wall makes it easy for you to miss your skill shots, so when fighting him mid to late game try to take advantage of him when he has no other targets to dash to. You both are playing for the same exact power spikes so keep that in mind. It's pretty much down to whoever lands more Q's and dodges the most skillshots, which Yasuo is more favored in that too. He is one of the easiest champions to gank so try to freeze your lane and call for jungle help if you need it. You scale much harder than him so once you snowball you take the game from there.”
Campersnake says “Wait till he use the Windwall then autoattack with Hail of Blades, put the 3 marks, use R to proc the marks and charge your Q + W, then he is dead.”
Mpegial says “**CK WINDWALL PIECE OF ***. Sorry just got a little mad the windwall literally blocks all my damage. Generally you want to bait his windwall and kill him with a full combo afterwards.”
eternalkuuseki says “you have higher base stats lvl1. do not trade with him before you get e. if you're running him down, use flash before your e, as that will force his flash, then just catch up with e. in lane just don't get hit by tornadoes. most yasuo's in bronze will get overconfident and int if he gets ahead. use this to your advantage.”
Lavishmouse1032 says “This is a skill base matchup in my mind with the only thing that makes this champion annoyinng is that he has his wind wall which can block your w and ult so you can't get passive easily. yasuo players always most of the time take q + e then get their wall after so thats when you take action”
Zileni says “Pretty much skill and having knowledge in Yasuo. If you dodge his Tornado early you should be good, W yourself if he is about to go on you. If he has a huge wave he has a better chance in winning against you. You can also W yourself if he has Tornado up, just walk into it and they won't expect the W.”
mihaila says “Very good matchup. U can dodge his Q with E. Take his ult only in E2, either he will block ur R with windwall, u can use ult while u are stealing it in E2 as well. Buy antiheal in midgame.”
XD001 says “If the Yasuo is good this matchup is borderline unwinnable for you. You can go next to even in lane if you play safe and farm under tower with Q. Just dont fuck up the wave with constant Q's since he can freeze it and make your game hell. Do your best to match his roams to jg and top/bot skirmishes and try to have lane priority. Although you win short trades, he can usually heal back up so its more worth to shove the lane and look for plays on the map.
Late game you can't match him and you should look to buy grievous wounds.
Yasuo outscales Ekko.
take Elec + sorcery page”
GabomanDeLegado says “Yasuo debería ser pan comido y baiteamos su muro de viento, así le daremos la Q sin problema. Tradearle cuando la oleada sea pequeña también es ideal, así no rebotará lo suficiente para quitarse el CC de la Q. contra un Yasuo es obligatorio snowbolear. ”
Sojurini says “İf this is a good yasuo player he stomps you everwhere just try to poke him at early as you can and don't let him farm if he dashes e into you at 2 lvl try to q him or you will be punished at 3 lvl just respect his w and wait for your jungler if he used his w already just try to poke him with auto attack and e him to slow use your q and do aa + r + aa to kill him if you miss your q just wait for your jungle ”
Luciiid says “Garbage. Take conqueror to out sustain him and out damage him. 1 point in w and then max the hell out of q. Just dodge his early tornadoes and you'll be fine. You can start q into this matchup and try to walk up for an aa q aa for free electrocute proc if u take it instead of conqueror. He has infinite dashes so it's impossible to hit both w's when wave crashes at mid. If he gets ahead... You're dead.”
mc_jojo3 says “Champions with a lot of dashes, cc and poke are big red flags for Shyvana mid.
Doge his Q and make sure he uses his W bafore going in. However the average IQ of an Yasuo player is usualy below average so don't worry.”
Havenia says “I put Yasuo as extreme because low elo players tend to somehow block abilities with wind walls, I will never understand how actually. You want to bait his wall out then go for an all in, if he all ins you first, you want to use a stopwatch or something (that you bought earlier) to face him, when he ults you, ult him and use your stopwatch. If you don't have your ult, then you're gonna have to use flash to live.”
Noodles912 says “Skill based. You win short trades while he wins extended trades. Play safe against his level 2, and look for a level 3 all in. If he wastes his wall, throw your shark. He also has a sustain and shoving advantage, but you have burst. Avoid fighting in minions at all times. Electrocute is better in this lane.”
Int4Kindred says “He's a hard champion to play against in midlane when you are playing a marksman due to his gap closer with E, his W negating abilites such as your Mounting Dread, and his passive in general. Will be a hard matchup, try to roam more often than usual. Worthy of a ban.”
FerretInADurag says “If you're against a Yasuo, take time to celebrate because this is a free win for you. Although his windwall can block you Q, you can bait it out. It also has a much longer cooldown than any of your own basic abilities. His E over time becomes easy to predict. You can easily bully him away early and shut him down, just don't forget about his famous 0/10 powerspike...”
Jinx_48 says “in early good played fizz winning but late game is funbny he is low and lfiesteal givving him health so dont forget to buy anty healing. middle of battle ignite him to dont lething him lifesteal”
elnino9 says “Keep track of how many minions he can E onto, try to fight Yasuo when there are no minions around for him to dash to so he can't dodge your spin damage on daggers. If he windwalls correctly, shunpo back. Setup Q dagger on minions and shunpo in, W for the full refund pre level 6, then go back out by shunpoing on your minions. Mainly a farm lane, call for ganks as he is very vulnerable to getting ganked since he lacks mobility. sync your Q when W lands, it animation cancels.”
PASS10NE says “You have to be careful and not underestimate him. Yasuo can Windwall your W and R, and wins against you lvl 1. Try to take as much hp as you can at lvl 2. Once Yasuo reaches level 3, he wins if he blocks your W with his Windwall. You'll have to bait his W first and combo him once it's on cooldown. Do not take trades with him if his passive is up. Take his passive down before engaging. You can place the wave near your turret, so Yasuo can get turret aggro when using his E on minions.”
pavelp420 says “Depends on the Yasuo. Most of the time they just int until they die 31 times and spam EZ, but if they are good, play very safe and only engage if you are certain you can kill them.”
NuclearAkali says “Very annoying if not handled correctly. Yasuo's wind wall is very irritating and it is best if you ask for a gank if you don't have good matchup experience.”
lordsaladito says “Can be annoying to fight against him cause the dash and the poke. Try be alert when he has the tornado and specially after level 6. To kill it try predicting his dash, but be aware of the wind wall”
Wunsch3957 says “50/50 coinflip matchup. Who's better who wins on even skill. After level 6 it's easier, after lane ends it's much easier. Ask for ganks and have the wave on your side. Either conq/fleet with red/green tree is viable. flash/ignite.”
Twitch.Tv-LimitBreaker88 says “VIDEO : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMeBp5Nipl4
60>40 for Azir. You have to make sure, to save your Q for the right moment, so he can't dash away from your soldiers. As against other melee all in champs, set up slowpushes to create big waves,m he can not fight you in. if he somehow manages to E on you with his tornado up, ult him. This matchup depends a lot on the jungler matchup aswell. Can they set up his R? Play more cautious.
Stay at max range and keep poking him.”
ReYkoTheLord says “Be careful about good yasuo players, don't be impatient with your W, always use it BELOW yourself, because he has to get close to you to be able to trade, dodge the tornados and use your autoattacks often to poke him.”
Talon Abuser says “I ban yasuo every game because of his wind wall and shield which really defeats the purpose of 2 of our main abilities. Not only that but his cc and dashes. ”
Whinit says “Pop his shield with long range auto attacks and annoy with Q and W. Beware of his shield tho cause he will parry all of your abilities at once if you combo onto him while he uses it.”
Coldsong says “Yasuo is actually pretty weak against Annie, as his W cannot block Tibbers or her W. Bait out his Windwall with autos and pop his shield before you go all in. Also, his Q counts as an auto, so he will damage himself while your E is activated.”
InkHeiko says “Yasuo is the kind of champion that the difficulty of the matchup depends on how well your oponent and you know this champion. But normally, Yasuo is hard to fight as Seraphine since he builds lifesteal so he nullify her poke AND can beat her in 1v1, not talking about his W that can make her useless. I normally bann Zed and play Poppy against Yasuo ans Yone.”
Gloglito says “A champion that is only countered by junglers. Try to save your E as much as possible, if he gapcloses into you and you don't have E available, you either flash or die. Also, windwall is very annoying.”
Abbyca says “Yasuo Has wind shields, walls, and hyper life steal, and can hyper carry if fed enough, play around his windwall, bait it out, Q his Shield off, and go for a combo ignite.”
l2ingeR says “Like Akali, a short ranged melee inconvenience.
Glacial Augment does wonders in neutering his ability to fight back while Windwall is down, but he's a decent threat otherwise.
We don't have to fight him head on though. Play his "hide like a pussy behind a wall" game.
Plant traps, roam. He wants to fight you outside of lane? He's dead without help.”
kennybang says “bait out windwall for ur w and also take his passive shield off, dont forget to proc passive on this dude so he can go cry like a little bald kid”
Remmacs1 says “This match up is quite literally impossible for Aphelios. Yasuo can run you down and delete your chakrams making it really hard to get favorable fights. I normally dodge this match up, but if you do decide to play it look to play level 1 really aggressive and get lane priority from the get go.”
yougelly says “Ahri is a champion that thrives on mobility. She is highly threatened by champions that have point-and-click abilities that she cannot dash away from. ”
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “His Windwall is very annoying to deal with. He can use your plants to E and stack his Q up and if he knocks you up and uses his R, you will die more than likely. ”
xxseraphinaaxx says “Absolutely annoying to deal with, as his windwall can block off your CC and your Frostbite, your main way of damage. His tornado attack is hard for Anivia to dodge and his dashes make him hard to deal with, as he can dash easily out of your Flash Frosts. As soon as he pops that tornado + ulti combo, you're practically dead as Anivia in early game if you're not under tower. In days where I swear almost every single person mains/plays/one-tricks Yasuo, I ban him most often. ”
BigFatCat909 says “Zed should almost always win this matchup. If you don't trust yourself with your Q's or playing around His W/E, i recommend maxing E. Though an Eclipse buy is more than enough to destroy this matchup and possibly Plated Steelcaps if you find it needed. Consider Serpants Fang for his Shieldbow.”
P R O L I F I C says “Stack grasp often, pop his shield often, and bait out windwall when you can. save E for dodging his knockup. Do NOT use E to pass windwall, thats what he wants.”
Johan Paracelso says “His wind wall is a headache. And his playstyle is pretty flashy, so it can dodge all of your abilities with well timed E's. Build armguard into Zhonya's for him, to keep you safe from his burst potential, although his great AS makes it easy for him to deal maximum DPS, so watch out for this. Hug your tower during laning phase”
Hiimkata says “Keep track on the minion wave while you're laning, the more minions the easier it is for Yasuo to perma E around like a headless chicken making it hard to trade properly. Yasuo is really vulnerable to ganks because he enjoys perma E'ing in so ping your jungler. Try to always let him come to you when you go for trades so he takes minion aggro aswell, so just let him E in and then you use your W > E onto W (remember that your E resets your autoattack, you're gonna use this a lot in the Yasuo matchup) Try to hold onto your Q as long as possible so he can't windwall it and render it useless (also useful tip in 2v2 fight or if your jungler ganks you). Also remember that fights in the jungle/river are way worse yasuo, because he can't perma E like he can on a minion wave so try to force fights there with your team.”
Johan Paracelso says “Your brother has a skill match-up with you as well. Both Yasuo and Yone have similar things, they both scale with Attack Speed, they both makes use of 2.5x Critical Stryke, and both of them are weak early game. But, Yasuo has more mibility than Yone, he can trick you with his E and chunk you down, tmaking some trades to his favor, but, if you can chunk him down before he chunks you, you can win easily”
CaptianMike says “It is nearly impossible to hit yasuo with a Q during the laning phase due to his insane mobility. He is very hard to deal with if fed. Let him push the wave to you so you can farm under tower.”
ShadowSlayerMain says “Trading him before level 6 is difficult because he can block your Q's with W and he's got Heavy Melee Damage so just last hit minions, Death's Dance, Edge Of Night and Serpent's are optional, proc Electrocute with AA,Q,E when he approaches you with his E (not when he can throw tornado), using W,E mechanic may make him waste his W because he may think you'll cast Q so he can block it, dodge his tornado so he can't R you”
mrsuits says “Tough lane. They can always stay away from your soldiers if they have a brain so try to respect that. Yasuo Can wind wall your Ult and stop it completely so be carefull about it. Exhaust might be a good idea if you arent comfortable vs him. Push early levels as much as possible and put some deep wards. ”
Poppi Sama says “Dangerous matchup if not approached carefully. Yasuo is capable of blocking all your skill shots. However, use the opportunities when his wind wall is down to poke, as well and AA to remove his shield.”
Justin58111 says “A good Yasou will bully you. Try to get his W out, hit him with an AA to get rid of his shield and then you can attack him, just be careful that you have your E ready, in case he tries to hit you with his whirlwind. ”
ParkChnm says “He blocks pretty much everything you throw at him. While his windwall is down you have room for poke. Throw down your minefield if he goes in and Satchel Charge him away.”
ParkChnm says “Not really a hard matchup once you get good at Orianna. Auto his passive down and then go in for poke if you can. Don't let him get close.”
KataTocDo says “Skill and Experience matchup. Don't tilt. You can win early. He will beat you later into the game because his windwall is stupidly broken as he can stop your Q, W, and R. If you fight him, make sure his passive is down.
Runes: Conq- Resolve or Elec. - Resolve
Starting Items: D Blade”
Csapi says “He can be strong if he plays agressive at lvl3 but if you play safe and u use your Q on farms when the Q hit the minions and Yas too then you attack him with the passive he will gonna play a litle safer bot not for long so just play safe againts him”
Aramigo says “Yasuo kann durch seine hohe Mobilität gefährlich sein und in Teamfights muss man darauf achten, dass er Eure Ultimate nicht blocken kann.”
bleapintosh says “I'd say this is a skill matchup even though he can block your q with his windwall. When he has tornado, just juke or walk to your turret when he has ult.”
Jnewbringspain says “He isn't much threat to you, but you will have such a difficult time landing a Rupture on him. Try to anticipate where he will dash and hit him with Feral Scream first. This silence throws off a lot of Yasuo players because they are so used to dashing around with Sweeping Blade. Landing Rupture becomes much easier if you remember to do this. His shield is annoying, so try to keep hitting him here and there with Vorpal Strikes if possible, to keep it on cooldown. If he manages to ult you, it's time to run because he gains 50% armor penetration and he will cut right through you.”
1Recycle Bin1 says “too annoying
go conqueror for sustain in lane, you can go double armor in runes as well
bait his windwall and try to remove his shield before going in”
wildersovereign says “This matchup is one of the big reasons why I recommend Morgana mid for low ELO players such as myself. He can't do ANYTHING against you once you get to Level 3, and it will remain that way for the rest of the game. His Q tornado is telegraphed, so E-ing it is not a challenge. He should never be able to ult you unless he has help from his jungle and somehow manages to catch you with your E down away from your tower. A single tick of your W completely wastes the shield he gets from Flow, which becomes especially easy to consistently do once you get Lost Chapter. His wind wall is a little annoying at first, but its cooldown is much longer than that of your Q, so you can take advantage of this window early. The one danger he poses is roaming, but since your waveclear is so much stronger than his, he shouldn't be able to do it often. Even skilled Yasuos will fall to this champion due to how uncommon she is, so take advantage of her and smash the samurai.”
BubbaStudmuffin says “Some might argue with me that "Yasuo counters Akali" or "He is broken and is always a threat" but fuck that! We put Yasuos in their fucking place!
1) You are more mobile than him in lane (and especially out of lane). If you can lure him in the jungle he doesn't stand a chance.
2) Your E is perfect for taking down his shield passive. When you land it... Chill for a second. Wait for his shield to fade then go in. Furthermore, if he decides to dive you thinking he is gonna land a knock-up / ult combo just flip back with your E. You dodge his tornado and then engage on him when he is as far as he can get from having his knock-up back up.
3) You might be thinking "But what about his windwall? It will block my Q and my E!" Yeah sure... It does but Yasuos are bitches and are eager to use their windwall. YOU! On the other hand are patient. His wind wall cant block your ult. So when you land your E on him and reactivate it to engage dont blow your Q so quick. He will toss up windwall and you can ult past it. Drop shroud and now we dance! He will probably try to step back on the other side of the wall now and thats fine. It will be gone soon and you got time. Out position him. In and out with your Check Marks and finish with your second cast ult. Easy.
4) Did you think I was done? Nope! So long as you arent an idiot and dont let him ult you when you are already almost dead you have a get out of jail free card! When he ults he is gonna be looking to use the bonus damage it gives him for the next few seconds to auto you to death. Just fuckin shroud and dance around him. You dont even have to attack. Once the shroud is up re-engage if you have the HP. If you dont, dip out. ”
ITSDEBEAR says “Similar to yone but sometimes tends to be tricky with his constant dashes. Play mind games, cancel e sooner, auto whenever the passive is up, etc. Predator lets you punish him harder but electro works as well.”
rajsovsky says “May be annoying, just rush armguard. As he is melee champion you should win. Just poke him in early but remember that he can dash thru minions what gives him tons of mobility.”
CastratedSeal says “Yasuo counters Nami harder than any other champion. You can never bubble him because he's permanently dashing, and you can never ult or use your bubble as long as his windwall is up. Avoid picking Nami into Yasuo. ”
invalidd says “Really obnoxious matchup since he's got a lot of dashes and his windwall blocks your charged hook and E, he usually won't let you hook him into
you if it's a good yasuo player and kill you slowly with his EQ poke and tornados, you have to use your tapQ a lot in this matchup and be careful with your
ult placement against him. Complicated to gank.”
lkycch says “If your team is all squishy or has no cc, I suggest dodging in champ select. His windwall will make you waste your Q+W+Q combo, so you need to approach him at a different angle if he uses it. Use your E to slow him, then throw out one Q. He will windwall to stop your second Q, so W+E yourself to re-position yourself, then try and land your bomb from a different angle. It's difficult, I know, so don't feel disheartened if you can't do it. Yasuo is a superb duelist, so it's better off ganging up on him with your teammates. In lane, dodge his tornado and let your jungler gank. Shutting down Yasuo early is the way to beat him, so make sure you follow his roams and don't let him get fed. Remember: Summoner's Rift is a 5V5, not a 1v1. You don't have to stay in lane and suffer a losing matchup!”
Fox_Gan says “If he gets 50% crits faster that you get TriForce - he can easily win fights against you. You can use your [R] to deal damage to him, when he uses [R] Last breath, it can win your duel. Use your [R] nearly before {Airborne effect}. to do it. Plated Steelcaps is best option, I recommend to buy it first.”
SkellyBirb says “Yasuo might seem really hard to deal with for an ADC, but for Sivir, he's not too bad. Your W can be used to make sure his shield is never up when you throw a Q. While you can't do much against his windwall, it has a long cooldown that lets you poke or burst him down with in the process. Additionally, you can stop his knock up with your shield, which is huge since it means he can't easily use his ultimate on his own unless he hits his knock up while your shield is on cooldown.”
lkycch says “The windwall completely blocks off your Q+W+Q combo. If he has an aggressive support with him, it will be very difficult to deal with as they can engage on your ADC while you won't be able to stun them back. You need your jungler for this matchup for sure.”
RedNBlue says “This is a back and forth slish slosh at the beginning of the game trade wise but later in the game if he has farmed enough he starts getting annoying if your E playful/trickster is down. He will build life steal so hard that you will do your burst and he will Q slash and heal half of it back at LEAST.”
SXafir says “Champions with mobility like dashes and blinks are harder to hit with your R and Q, if you know that they have some kind of mobility try to predict.”
KASSAW1N says “Kass vs yasuo: Este match es mi preferido ya que no tienes que comprar guardabrazos, Consiste en llevar las runas clásicas (electrocutar) de las que hemos estado hablando y luego el truco esta en lo siguiente, Mientras tiene el escudo y el tornado activo para tirarlo, tírale la Q para quitarle el escudo, y luego de que tire el tornado, entras por detrás de el y pones todo el combo, eso si, te mueves para los lados para que no te aseste la Q (compra hielo eterno o eco de luden)
”
Rauschel says “Yassuo is strong because of his and yones buff of their pasive. For him it isnt so easy to get to you because he needs a knockup or minions to use his E on. You cant really punish him and even if you do, his 2 Item powerspike is just really good and heals him insanly much. Play safe, punish him if he has no minions to E on and try not to die.”
iDc101 says “can't poke him well, shoves really easily, even if you ignore him and dodge his skillshots, he can just roam and get kills off of you're teammates, all you can do is ping danger, dodge skillshots and ignore him”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- Buy seekers first back unless EXTREMELY ahead
- Tabi's or "pLAtEd sTeElCaPs" will reduce his damage significantly too
- His E early game has a relatively high cooldown (0.5s) so when he dashes into you, you have plenty of time to E him
- After you E him, you can Q - auto attack - W and run away while he is taunted
- This will win you the trade
- Do not take an extended trade in a minion wave - he will win
- Learn how to dodge his tornado with your E - it will make it very hard for him to kill you if he cannot knock you up
- Outroam him using your ultimate and teleport”
Big Shawn says “Yasuo has not been a strong pick in recent patches. You should consider engaging trades when you reach level 3. If you execute your full combo you wil ALWAYS win trades. The movement speed allows you to exit peacefully from the situation and you just repeat the process over and over again.”
Ambitieux says “Very annoying laner. He can bully you out of lane pretty easily with his mobility. His windwall never helps with trades and you will lose a good portion. The biggest trick up your sleeve for this one is throwing miasma in the middle of the wave so he can't spam dash his E. And during his E animation on minions he is forced to look at you, so this is a perfect time to ult him. Other than that try to predict his movements with q's and you should be able to keep your distance.”
Scyrine says “skill matchup. if hes a good yasuo he'll windall your q and e, but usually if you bait him to use it and then engage you can win it. just dodge his tornado and engage. ”
BCota says “Windwall stops E thats it. He hurts a lot but you hurt more. Bait his wall with your E perma poke him with Q but beware if his nado. When hes low enough just oneshot him”
Chili Dog says “Can be EASY AF or HARD AF, all depends on how good the yasuo is, if you play consistently though you'll have experienced this matchup a lot, aa his shield away, play around his tornado, pool it at level 6, q him at every chance you get, play mindgames with his windwall, let go of E super early sometimes, fuck with his brain. Electrocute recommended.”
grebe1231 says “Same as yone, although this matchup might be even easier. Whenever Yasuo's passive shield is up, use your Q to pop it and back off until it expires. Without his passive shield, trades turn massively in your favor.”
JR Lil Baby Boy says “Okay, Yasuo is gonna be a hard matchup but all u gotta do is try and harass Yasuo with basic attacks cuz u got Pix (Bonus AP dmg)”
kimjisoo8 says “Although a lot of people hate Yasuo, in my opinion he is one of the easier champions to go against. What you need to do is bait his windwall and break his shield with autoattacks. Abuse your range. Easy.”
Loading..Please wait says “He will be very hard and annoying during the laning phase. don't even try to contest farm. Optimally yasuo and zed will both be banned. His difference with zed is that you can just nuke him late game and he won't have much to respond with.”
FalleN3 says “This 'should' be a relatively easy lane for you but be careful of his mobility by using (E) through minons - don't let this panic you into silly trades. You can use your AA to down his passive before you trade.
He is squishy so from level 6+ you should have no problem 100-0 him.
His windwall only blocks your (Q) and your AA. Perhaps max your (W) before (Q) in this matchup.”
Redsundark says “so i wanted to say like 3.5 cause these are still threats but can be manage able to a degree people like yasuo with Wind wall will block all your auto attacks but once thats gone or down should be able to stun him and take him down with your attack speed , another thing to avoid with people like him are people that can Dash to you or knock you up like Chogath or Diana or akali once they get the dash or knock up on you they will most likely try to excute the combo to end you there are ways around this stuff like flashing or yellow carding on time can slow them down or stop them enough for you to possibly get away ”
Sushi_Cat says “This matchup entirely depends on how good the Yasuo is. If they're bad or okay at the champion, Mordekaiser wins. However, if they are good or great then this matchup turns into an even one. I've always dreaded this matchup because you cannot tell how good a Yasuo is based off of their Mastery. A 250k M7 Yasuo could go 1/17 but a different one could go 17/3. Other than that, poke out his passive with your Q and look to all in. Yasuo is almost completely fucked in Death Realm unless he's super fed. ”
Last Roar says “Pretty consistently strong, you can harass him early with aa's but beware of him dashing through your minions (limited to once per minion). AA him every time his shield comes up to remove it. You can Q 2/3 times for every windwall he chucks up. He's susceptible to CC. So if you go even in lane, he'll be strong but can still be countered quite well. Keep your wave close to turret so if you land a Q you can all in him and he has no escape.
/
/
/
Obj: Play Defensive (minions next to ally turret), if he's the stereotypical yasuo, you can punish him for dives or have jungle punish him being pushed up. If he roams you can follow (Don't facecheck) as he now has no minions to escape or gap close, so you can outrange him.
”
SkellyBirb says “Yasuo can be hard to manage because he can dash onto you and chase you down with your own minions, as well as being able to block your ultimate and Q with a basic ability.”
PROJECT BZ says “Yasuo is a complete skill matchup but whoever is worst will definitely show in this matchup. Zed can ult the tornado of yasuo so he can completely avoid being ulted by yasuo but at the same time, Yasuo can ult Zed out of Zed's ultimate.
Zed can keep distance easily from yasuo with shadow and yasuo cant really itemise armor so it wont ever be hard to kill him unless hes extremely fed.”
vCraze says “Yasuo can be quite a hard matchup to play against because of the amount of mobility he has. Play safe and farm as much as possible while poking him when you can. You can buy seekers early but that is personal preference whether you do or not. The only ability he can stop with his windwall is your E so take advantage of this. You need to always respect Yasuos damage as even if you have a massive lead on him he will most likely still be able to delete you.”
Sadkid says “If you can land an E on yasuo he is pretty useless. Play mind games with your E hold it or sometimes even unexpectedly use it. If you hit it you win if you don't he kills you. Make sure play away from the wave. ”
OxiteoMyst says “I usually don't have problems with this matchup, play around phase rush cd and his windwall cd.
Note that he can delete your E with his windwall, making it more difficult to trigger phase rush.
If you know that you're about to get R'ed by yas, drop your W underneath you and yas will be animation locked and stunned allowing you to escape. If the yas is good (Not in gold) you may have problems. ”
SkellyBirb says “Yasuo can deal quite a bit of damage and has a lot of dashes to avoid your elastic slingshot. However, if you manage to land it, you can do a ton of damage to him. Seeker's can be super useful against him. ”
PedrinhoXD says “Yasuo can be a pain in the ass because of his windwall, but i found it very easy to bait it out, just farm with Q and whenever you use W stay safe, or else he will dash his way onto you, and you'll have a poor trade”
MobbyF says “Against Yasuo is skill matchup against Zoe. Beware of Yasuo's Barrier (W) play in the possible safe to not die. If you have a hard time at the route stage buy Seeker's Armguard”
zee160 says “His wind-walls might be a little bit of an inconvenience, but he is very easy to catch up to and R+Q. Normally you'd probably W then RQ, but with yas, if you were to W then RQ, he'd escape your W, then come running at you, making your RQ useless, even with the small movement speed reduction on his end.
Just as long as if you RQ then W, yasuo does not counter you hard at all.”
open_48 says “not as strong as zed or talon, but you can't win against him before level 11. Rush seeker's armguard. DON'T PUSH AND FARM UNDER YOUR TORRET, (with kassadin is not difficult). he can't dive you without jungler.”
Cap Jack says “Can be very difficult if he gets early advantage, otherwise fairly even. Bait windwall before all in. Conq runes if not comfortable in matchup or trade sudden impact for taste of blood and q him to heal.”
MartyBG says “Lux's probably hardest matchup, because he can block your q with his windwall and can kill you easily afterwards, try to be patient with your q and when he goes on you try to e on you so you can slow him down a bit.”
Stormleon says “His windwall is one of the most broken things in the rift. However, if you have a lot of mana and u poke his shield with auto attacks u got him.”
SF Shadow says “If a Yasuo player is good, he is able to destroy a Zoe. Not only by using his W. He can use his E to get in Range and Poke. When Zoe tries to E, he just E back. Remember: The Zoe E has a 20 second CD at lvl 1. The Yasuo Windwall has lower Cooldown. If the Zoe actually hits her E, you can just W in front of her before you sleep in. She will Q into your Windwall.”
Papzz says “High mobility + Phantom Dancer + Burst damage. Most yasuo players doesn't know how to play right so you should be fine, otherwise I suggest you to just poke him a bit on early and play safe late.”
economistastonks says “Toe to toe. Use your W to evade his Q. If he starts farming way more than you, you'll need executioners (because he runs Conqueror).
Mind his short sword poke. ”
Elpatronchico says “And ofcourse, our little brother Yasuo.
Yasuo can be very hard to counter if he knows his brother well.
Try to go close when you get your mortal steel third q, try to get close so he can't use his windwall to block it. And try to stay out of minion range, so he can't dash you out with his E.
Also, try to go around him so he misses his Q's.”
Bobbab says “He can windwall all your daggers, his passive breaks down your q poke and his extended trades are better. Short burst trades when his passive is down is adviseable.”
sweodigaming says “Not hard, just AA him on his shield like you would with any other champion. Try to bait is windwall with AA's. Stun him with your W instead of Q since it can go through the windwall. ”
Aukaren says “He Has All Tools To Deal Against You. His Windwall Blocks Your E, Avoid Staying Near Minions and try to bait out his Windwall and then use your E. But as most Yasuo Players tend to play aggresively, get help from your jungler as he burns out his "W" and as of Patch 10.12, his Windwall Cooldown has been increased so the matchup has become a bit easier as he wont be able to his W much often and will play much more safe.”
Midlane God says “If he is a dumbfuck u can kill him easily. Take electrocute and wait for him to engage.
Not a big deal unless he buy Wits End then he will become impossible to kill 1v1.
”
TheFwnK says “This champion is easy to fight with, If he blocked your Ultimate with his W. Uhm…. From here you are on your own. I ain't helping you. Try to kill him early and he will be 0 the whole match.”
neverwanted2be says “Once u bait his wall, he's urs. Very cool match-up, make ur brother regret. But don't be very confident he can easily dodge ur skills with "E"
Conqueror is a great choice.”
Raigiku says “He can kill your turrets with E => auto, dash through them to prevent grenades, prevent any ability with wind wall which makes it impossible to protect your turrets and he has crit damage which is very effective on Heimerdinger. He will outpush you, so you need ganks from your jungler. Punish him when the windwall is down.”
Slumberdork says “While mid lane scalers (Yasuo, Vladimir) are on even ground with you, you can a lot of the time go even or even win playing it right, ignite would be a good choice to even the kill pressure, just remember melee champs normally have a mechanic to close the distance on ranged champs quite easily, be safe my Grins.
”
Trolley. says “Has high mobility and can probably dodge most of your skillshots. Windwall hard counters Seraphine's kit and make her less impactful in teamfights”
KormitLeFrag says “He will always windwall your Q and E onto you to bully you. You can hold stun for when he dashes and instantly stun him and walk away. Play on his mistakes, a bad yasuo is a free lane. ”
ItzJavAgain says “high damage output the whole match,especially once he gets his 2nd item powerspike,his W can block your E easily and,even worse,your R ,build ninja tabi and try yo bait his W since has a lot of CD and you should be able to kill him with both on first ítem since BORK is a much bigger powerspike for Irelia than Phantom Dancer is for yasuo,from there on,he outscale you,once he gets 100% crit”
aL3x888 says “Depends on the Yasuo, whenever he dashes in you with E-Q, you Q-E-aa and proc electrocute, and dodge his nados with ur R, try to keep his pasive shield down whenever you can with Q.”
kenichiii says “For me i would say its pretty even, but since i've been playing yasuo a lot, i understand both the champions. Anyways Max E, u can buy the new ninja tabi if u need to. Be careful with his dashes on minions.”
crepezeee says “Windwall will fuck you over so hard. As soon as you sleep him he will wind wall and then you won't do as much damage because you have to hit the Q sideways.”
XayLies says “Yasuo is really strong. Fighting him as Yone is almost a mirror fight but he can Break your Armor after Ult. Try to Dodge it with Q/E/Flash and Catch Him In Your R when he got no minion to Dash into. Better Samurai Wins!”
AkiraHopeXDDDD says “Yasuo can windwall your 2nd W but you will almost win every trade if you Melee Q Yasuo, You can also save your W and bait out his W so you can easily win trades, Never try and Range Q him or else you don't win trade”
Yeager says “Start corrupting potion so you can counter his shield. His windwall will block your Q, so you have to bait him before you use it. Sometimes Yasuo players will use windwall when you blink to them because they think you're going all in.
You can also animation cancel your Q with E, so he has to react REALLY FAST if he wants to block it.
In the laning phase you want to take short trades, by proccing your passive with electrocute, and then you back off. You have higher burst, but Yasuo has much better sustained damage. Make sure his shield is NOT up for when you do this.
Get seekers armguard after hextech protobelt, AND ninja tabi if they have full AD or 80% ad team. ”
Yeager says “Neeko struggles against high mobile champions, and especially yasuo as he can cancel out both her Q and E. Therefore you should avoid fighting him until his windwall has been used, and then you can go for quick trades. He can run you down if you're overextended, so i suggest playing at your side of the lane by pulling the wave. It also exposes him to jungle ganks.”
PH45 says “Can be a bit of a tricky one. Try to stay away from your minions as he can just dash through them to you and 100-0 you pretty easily. His windwall also blocks your projectiles so it can be difficult to poke him down in lane at times.”
Lunasta says “Yasuo is quite a easy lane for qiyana, he can W your ult and Q but he probably won't be able to, since you can use your E to get behind him and using the rest of your combo”
Veigarv2 says “Free ganks for your jungler, has no way to escape your cage. strong all ins and scales good so dont let him get fed from you.
You can go electrocute with biscuits timewarptonic and corruption pot.
or kleptomancy page if experienced with the page.”
FalleN3 says “Due to his (E) Sweeping Blade, he is incredibly mobile which makes it very difficult for you to land your abilities on him as he can dash through minions (and you) consistently. His (W) Wind Wall is able to stop your ball in it's tracks and he also has a shield from his passive. Make no mistake, this is a nightmare match-up for Orianna and a decent Yasuo player is going to make it seriously anti-fun! Take Exhaust or Barrier for this match-up and you can consider taking Ninja Tabi's depending on the rest of the enemy team comp, if Top or Jungle is an AD champ too - go for it. An early seekers armguard can go a long way, you don't have to upgrade it to Zhonyas Hourglass right away. You will need to dodge his Whirlwind often and this is crucial after level 6 as he will then use it to pop his ultimate (R) Last Breadth on you. Concentrate on farming and use your jungler to your advantage, hopefully it's someone with plenty of CC.”
Haywyre says “Matchup is always bad for you. Bait out his windwall before you go in. Try to be more passive until you have gunblade and mid game should be in your favor. ”
Yeager says “You should not push the wave at all because he will run you down. He can block all your damage with wind wall and there is almost no CD on his dash. Let the lane push towards you and attempt a freeze outside turret range. Melee champions can't do much to you when you manipulate the waves like that.”
SkellyBirb says “Yasuo is really hard to deal with. He can dodge your Q easily with his dashes. He can also windwall it. He's also really hard to burst if his shield is up.”
Frixen says “One of the worst matchups there is. You can't do much since he has his wall and passive. So just look to get whatever you can get in lane, don't die, and look for roams. Don't try to splitpush against him. ”
FalleN3 says “This 'should' be a relatively easy lane for you but be careful of his mobility by using (E) through minions - don't let this panic you into silly trades. Only trade with him once you have taken away his shield. You can start cloth armor and health pots for some extra protection against him. He is squishy so from level 6+ you should have no problem 100-0 him.”
SkellyBirb says “Yasuo can deal quite a bit of damage and has a lot of dashes to avoid your elastic slingshot. However, if you manage to land it, you can do a ton of damage to him.”
Bouhhsolene says “I'm putting this in hard as not a lot of people know how to deal with yasuo, with every champions, but this matchup gets easier as you play it.
Play electrocute, and try to hit a combo when he gets close to you with his E. Not comet, so you can get more rewarded when you hit an E. You powered W autoattack go through his windwall, so if he uses it, try to poke him and get his shield down with it. Play exhaust and first back seeker's to avoid dying 1v1, wait for your jungler.
Also for trades, try to wait for his windwall to be down and try to hit your E. You can kill him if he makes a mistake; but if he respects you when his cd are down, you won't be able to kill him.
You won't really be able to match him sidelanes, so try to send your toplaner to match him, and in Teamfight, try to cc him as much as possible !”
PH45 says “With his high mobility when around your minions Yasuo can be tricky to deal with. Keep your distance and mostly just try to waveclear and potentially roam. His Windwall also blocks your 2 main abilities.”
Tauricus2017 says “Your W counter's his engage greatly, you win every short fight but in long fights you will struggle, dodge his tornados and feel free to build Randuin's Omen or Ninja Tabi to reduce his damage output.”
FalleN3 says “This is a skill match-up. He is very mobile amongst minions in lane and this movement can sometimes troll you into either wasting abilities or unfavourable trades. He is a manaless champion so can spam his abilities as much as he wants while tring to get you to waste yours. After level 6 the lane swings in your favour but be careful as his windwall can block your ultimate from landing. Play defensively before 6.”
SirGobogi says “This champ can close gaps fast and block basically all of your abilities with windwall. Yasuo is a very hard matchup for Seraphine like most mages.”
Ambience14 says “Mundo is a great counter to Yas, one of the best around. Unless he's very skilled and you misplay horribly, this should be a free lane. Build Cape and Frozen Heart as your first two items. When fighting him, stand on your minion wave with W on so he gets hit no matter where he goes. Just follow him around as he dashes and time your Qs to hit him when he's not dashing. If you're low and you know he will go in after hitting a tornado, ult immediately. If he ults you or overextends trying to hit the tornado, he's dead.”
Forscythe says “He is so dangerous with high mobility and his Windwall, since all of your abilities are projection. He can counter you on teamfights with his W, put pressure on lane on level 3. Don't pick Seraphine against Yasuo.”
Reason97 says “Yasuo is a tricky case. On one hand, you can lock him down easy, like most midlane assassin's and fighters. This makes it easy to punish him for mistakes. On the other hand, he's highly mobile, and isn't as hurt by your silence as other midlaners. A good yasuo is still gonna make your lane hell, even if you "supposedly" counter him. ”
Reason97 says “Yas can be tricky. The biggest issue with yas is that it doesnt take much for him to get ahead. one good kill and he can start to win a whole game on his own. However, he's vulnerable too. His wind wall is useless against your blizzard, and if you're fast and have good awareness, you can use his dash against him when he goes to push up and land an easy Q. However, if you struggle against mobility champs, its ok to just focus on farming and playing safe. Remember to use your auto attacks to burst his wind shield regularly. ”
I count to seven says “Remember to poke him with your aa to take his passive off. Easy to play on lane, his windwall blocks your E and R but you can time it. You can Q and W behind the wall ad he probably don't know that. H's got a decent late so try to defend your teammates to don't feed him”
westbroekie says “try to poke with q lvl 1, respect the lvl 2 all-in and pkay safe, yas will almost always push so try to freeze or to get a gank, try to dodge his eq with e if he engages try to dodge ult with w, if he lands ult u will probably lose fight”
u fool says “A good Yasuo is hard to hit with any of your abilities; try to roam other lanes in this matchup. He can waveclear much quicker than you and generally has more sustain due to his passive.”
arcanejhin says “def a skill match up.
dodge his Q2 and you should be able to poke him harder. Use your E combo, but make sure your body is not near minions so he can not follow you. If he kites you he might follow you to your body and kill you. his WW blocks the wind knock up, not your body.”
ShroudedBRH says “You can punish this pick early in the game before he access to all of his tools however once he gets 2 items it becomes extremely difficult. Avoid fighting in creep waves and when creep waves are arriving. Fight with team”
OverjarlZane says “He's an odd one. A really good one will stomp your face in most times post-6 but bad ones are wet towels. Just respect his damage and ability”
Twist21 says “Yasuo is pretty hard to beat if you don't have fury built up so I would recommend just letting him push the first 2 waves into you since his champion is bound to push waves due to his aoe dmg.Once you have fury built up you should be able to win all ins.Standard runes and sums for this one.”
Fadedreformed says “You can try killing him level 1 with w and d shield, or just play the lane passively till you get 6. After he takes his boots do not try approaching , since he is good at taking last longing fights”
Kaiev says “Hate him despise him, all your abilities gone dashes too much for you to land anything. Ban him or just stay under tower and if he's on your face ult! Recommend building seekers after lost chapter for this dude.”
xXkillercrackXx says “Due to his mobility, yasuo can be hear to deal with. Like Kat, hitting Yasuo with a Q is almost impossible. That coupled with the fact he can windwall all of your damage makes this a pretty tough lane. He has no real way to follow your roams though.”
ShockMaster says “He is one of the eassiest to kill,start with doran blade,poke him hard,rush hextech protobelt..Play with ignite,he can t react to your e+r+prot+w+Q combo if you use it good”
Yuki H. says “Skill based matchup, but the early game is in our favor (post level 4). Melee vs melee isn't too bad of a matchup in general, especially when the opponent has no real ranged poke. His only way of damaging you is by his tornado which can be dodged, or E + Qing through minions, which can be punished very heavily. Make sure to pop his shield first before fighting, since it does make quite a difference after a few trades. Remember, you can dodge his tornado with your ult, but the Yasuo will most likely try to bait it out by windwalling to make it look like he is using his tornado.”
fwii says “Break his shield with W first before trading. Max Q and wait for him to get close so you can Auto-Q-Auto him for massive damage. Dodge his empowered Q. ”
tyo professor says “Windwall blocks e, if he rushes wits end good luck trying to kill him. Go for short trades with electro, also your Q isn't a projectile so it is not blocked by windwall.”
roadtopenta5 says “Easiest matchu up ever to be honest, you can just harass him with your E AA Q combo till level 6, and then you can all-in , even if he builds PD you will be able to kill him, just rush AD Items like Drakthar.”
BEYBLADE NOXIANO says “Even match up. LvL 1 e 2 dele um pouco mais forte. Lvl 3 vc consegue ganhar, mas comece seu combo com o E e não com o Q, pra ele não conseguir usar a WindWall.”
Proma says “Dblade
Start E lvl 1 as 99% of yasuo's start Q.
Stun him, auto 2-3 times then back off limiting his ability to trade back.
If you charge hook and he wind walls walk through it if possible. A tiamat doesn't hurt as the passive can proc Yasuo's passive. Play smart and respect his damage. A good Yasuo can be difficult to deal with. Wait for him to make mistake.”
Chiefsnake says “If you're against a really good Yas player he'll abuse your star range and dodge your Q with being able to dash in and out with his E. He can also windwall your Q but you can detonate it before it touches the windwall and it might still stun him. However most of the time yasuos will end up outplaying themselves and letting you ult them into tower after they ult you. In this matchup you want to play around where your minions are so he can't dash in on you and doge the tornados.”
Veralion says “Frustrating matchup, but very winnable with careful play. Yasuo players have a big problem with diving and throwing and 1v5ing and generally being retarded, which is why his winrate is so low. You outtrade him, but since his E has no cooldown a good Yasuo will simply E forward, knock you up for poke, and retreat before you can retaliate. They will also look to Q you when you walk up for farm, being careful to stay out of your range. Yasuo is at his most mobile and dangerous while your creeps are running into lane, so take care while they are if you fall behind. At 6, tag his shield with an E and then all in the second you have the cooldown back while his shield is still down. Count his Q's and try to do this while he is still stacking to his third. Initiating while he has no knockup stacked is much more important than initiating while his shield is down. If he starts dashing at you with 3 stacks, he is planning to knock you up with his E to guarantee his ult. Press R when he gets to you to immune the CC and leave him without his ult's damage, armor shred, and free passive shield. This should guarantee you the win. Alternatively, simply ult through his tornado to initiate. Hold E for a half second to wait for his wind wall, which should be immediate if he knows how much trouble he's in, then find an angle to nail him. Do NOT let him fizzle or dodge your E, as that's where all your power comes from. If he does land his ult, he will always dash through you right afterward, and neither your E nor R are fast enough to beat it, so wait for him to do so. ”
Nodon says “why is tiny the smallest threat? you let him push stand at your minions wait for him to get close because he's a yasuo and then just q and throw him into tower it's sad for him tbh”
I1oveZombie says “Its hard to face him as he has hes E and W to dodge your poke and is highly mobile.
So in this matchup id advice to go vs ranged build or just glacial and build Lost Chapter into Twin shadows as he cant wind wall those.”
Filosh says “Can easily dodge your E+Q combo and block it with his windwall/dash.
BUT his windwall DOESN'T block your W (do not forget!) - so you can easily bait out his windwall and try to take him down.
It really depends on the player”
bruhno says “Yasuo can block both your q and e with his windwall so he seems a pretty hard matchup but if you abuse of your range and you root him you can snowball and beat him.
”
Grimkyle says “yasuo is a lane that you should dominate since he can use his wind wall at all not even your ult( to explane this better he can block the fish from moving but the shark still spawns, what you can do is hide your ult animation with the q+r combo, or you can q+r on him and he can't windwall that regardless not even if he windwalls perfectly) he does out mobility you with his e but you can simply e his e+q3 and e or q his q3.(always care about yasuo when he e's because he can e+q flash or even worse e+q3 flash and ult on you) yasuo is a late game champ but should be squishy enough for even you to one shot him like he's an adc| note if he has qss try ulting someone next to him so he can just run away easily ”
Dare366 says “Love playing this matchup. It's a true skillmatch up and it tilts the enemy yas everytime. Always get your reduced armor auto in before melee q+w+e. It's just like poking him down and all inning. Should be free just remember that you will most likely have lane prio so help ur jg. ”
K3y5 says “You have to dodge all of his Qs to even consider trading with him. Your trades also have to be fast enough so that he doesn't hit his E - Q knock up. Be careful about his windwall- it can delete the W dagger if it's on the floor, so use W after he uses windwall.”
Stiwy says “Hasagi ! Hasagi!
The only real threat is his tornado but you can clearly see when he is ready to cast it. If he ever tries to dash to you with his E just predict from where he will come and launch your E.
His wind wall is preety annoying as it will block the first cast of your ult.”
Nooldles says “Yasuo is an even matchup which obviously favors him early but as the game goes on you have more agency to outplay. You can steal Yasuo R and use it in tandem with teammates abilities but more importantly with your E2. This can catch them off guard and provides unexpected burst and CC if they aren't aware. Just play around his windwall and your E2 accordingly. His windwall halts Sylas' Q onto the windwall but if Yasuo is on top of his windwall he will still get hit. Keep the wave on your end when possible to minimize his E's effectiveness.”
Omega Zero says “"Brother?" You ask, "Why are you in the jungle with me?" Yasuo smirks as your team lands more missing pings right on top of the two of you than both of your tornados combined. "Well, if death is like the wind for me, then I shall be your wind." Yasuo answers your question as a Smite takes the Red Buff, though no one said it was YOUR smite. Your heart sinks in despair as you sigh heavily, wishing you'd just read the other build's Threats for more details.”
ai darkfluid says “You have to understand Yasuo's R mechanics and where he will be placed to win against him. Place a smart stun field post-6 to trap him when he ults and pre-6, poke him out while keeping your distance. Since your empowered auto attack goes through windwall, abuse him when you can then peace out when he starts stacking his Q.
Preferred rune: Summon Aery/Phase Rush”
Raiiny says “Not that hard of a match-up. Depends on the skill of the Yasuo player and yourself. He can block both of your rakes. However if you manage to hit him with your first rake, and uses windwall. You will still get 2 passive. If you have ult you can use it since he can't see you and so he can't use his tornado. ”
TheWindWalker says “Not a threat at all. If playing aggresively let him dive you and ult you, after he does use W and Barrier if you have one and quickly get his ultimate and if possible activate it under your tower to snowball.”
Brentonlop says “Although you outscale him, he is very annoying in laning phase. He can prevent your Q and E with his windwall. Use your W wisely or he will kill you.”
Dzsuz says “Probably the easiest lane you can face against. Just focus on dodging his Qs and wait until he uses his W after that you can easily kill him.”
Zoe Sparklepop says “Be sure to stun with W or R so he can't windwall your stun
You can easily dodge nado with E
There isn't really a way you can lose the lane unless you screw up.”
xtrinity01x says “Disgusting champion. winnable but please, PLEASE take barrier. dodge his tornado and stay back. Just focus on farming and ask your jg for a gank.”
ThatOneKatMain says “Really easy matchup respect him early game do quick trades. Q a minion then e to your dagger w auto catch w dagger and e behind your wave. Poke him down like this and all in him with ignite when hes below 50% hp. Post 6 bait out his tornado then e behind him when he uses it and burst him down. Try not to get your ult windwalled.”
Iruminati says “A good yasuo is almost impossible to 1v1. His windwall can block all of your spells even ultimate. you can trade him early game thanks to your reset AA on your shunpo
Un bon yasuo est quasiment impossible a 1v1. son mur de vent annule tout vos sorts même votre ulti. vous pouvez le trade en early grace aux combos et aux reset auto du shunpo.”
AlolanFairy says “Yasuo's skillset isn't the threat, having him in your game is.
Remember, you're in low elo. Yasuo mains are as common as the black plague in medieval Europe. And your team WILL feed him.
Make sure to ban this abomination of a champion every game!”
The PaIe King says “Anti-Assassin

”
MrMoonBird says “His wind wall can counter every single one of your abilities, so try to bait it out every chance you get and quickly move around him. Yasuo also has good kite potential against you. Play it safe and ask your jungler for help.”
snukumz says “Major asshole in lane after lvl 1.
Once he gets level 2 stay back and play carefully.
Use your Q's to last hit safely and be careful when last hitting with auto attacks because Yasuo can dash over to you and do a ton of damage.
You are way better in teamfights so that's where your win condition is. Just farm up and win team fights, you'll only rarely be able to solo kill him, or with the help of your jungler.
One cool thing to note is that your ultimate goes through his wind wall. ”
1256 says “everything depends on the wave position and how good the yasuo is, same shit as irelia can be either hard or easy af, you permahave e becuase of his q on wave, pop his shield with q, take good trades, it's quite questionable if you outscale
electro, fleet if not used to electro”
Pentakai says “Play pussy until level 3. Afterwards, press E>AA>W when he tries to all-in. He will lose fights if he's in the minions. Always respect him.”
KitsyMamori says “Yasuo will press W and you will cry. If you are against him, make sure to bait his W out or wait for a gank and then full burst him.”
SicKitty says “this dude, is not a dude #4 ban. if your stuck with him or somebody else hasn't banned him already then just try and throw around his shield and wait for him to go near minions,”
TotallyEclipse says “This matchup should be free. His q's are auto attacks so look to e his second q to delay his nado and chase him down with your q +e. Rush tabi first item and then the only way he can match you in damage is with an early BF sword, to which he ends up delaying his first crit item. Burn his shield then all in him and you'll win. You can rush bork into this matchup after tabi and kill him over and over again.”
LizzyElune says “Este match es complicado de describir.
En general un buen yasuo gana la partida antes de que anivia le pueda hacer pelea, cuidado con esta lane volatil.
mismo consejo que con Coki, limpiar waves y esperar peleas en equipo.”
Zwengo says “Build Zhonya's first and make sure to bait his windwall before your combo. Try to auto attack him whenever his passive shield is up and make sure to bully him with your huge auto range. You should be able to blow him up if he uses his ult when you are around your turrets.”
Art1val says “Auto-attack as often as possible before he backs or hits 6. If you sleep him throw your q to the side as he will almost always put up his windwall infront of him. If he knocks you up, ult if it lets you and he will ult where you teleport to which lets you get away. Play safe once he gets his first item.
tl;dr: Auto-attack as often as possible. Throw your q to the side.”
SimonNGarfunkel says “He could be more dangerous but tbh most Yasuo players don't know what they're doing. Go max E into this matchup. Space properly, poke his shield with Q and bait his E into Q poke, then go aa+E to his face. That will scar him for a good while. When you all in him with R, just stick to him aa and E, don't bother throw Q until the last second. Chances are he already wasted windwall when you press R.”
PepeOnDrugs says “This 'should' be a relatively easy lane for you but be careful of his mobility by using (E) through minions - don't let this panic you into silly trades. Only trade with him once you have taken away his shield. You can start cloth armor and health pots for some extra protection against him. He is squishy so from level 6+ you should have no problem 100-0 him.
”
MageSlayerr says “dodge this... if not then get a barrier, when you both LVL 6. stand under your tower with 50 proc. hp (make sure he is full hp) and let him hit you with his wind he will R and ignite you under your tower. then you instantly pop barrier Q-Flash backward And E R him while he also tanks turrent. that is the only reliable way to kill goo Yasuo. other than that jungle has to hold your hand”
GG Yasuo says “Since you're on a guide I assumed that you don't know or mastered fundamentals yet, Yasuo is tough to deal with for people who don't know basic lane management and laning fundamentals so Yasuo pretty much dominates. Orianna scales harder that's why I didn't put the threat level on 5”
ImaTastyPancake says “Yasuo has plenty of dashes and windwalls in his kit to block your charm. You want to play defensively around him and hit charms when you know you can. You can play aggressive but you should know if you can escape/survive an all in.”
Ekko Rush B Guides says “Yasuo is a skill based match-up. His mobility can give you a hard time landing abilities and his nado can zone you from minions.
When trading you want him to come to you, because this will give him less options to dash back. I also suggest that you don't use your Q instantly when you dash on him, as most Yasuo players windwall as soon as you jump on them.”
KataFlix says “Yasuo plays a big part in late game and early game with his W, his W cancels your most important abilities, to counter back await for jungler ganks or counter build him with armor”
manipulativexd says “If he gets a red buff because of your jungle, your lane is over. If he freezes, ask for help. He can suprise you with huge trades. Also yas can be easily beaten and out traded. His E will stack up yours and you can work from that. But a a good yas with good macro will make you a hard time.”
CallMeDaddyGR says “Yasuo is not as big of a problem as most people think, its clearly a skill and experience match up, you have be aware of his wind wall and dont let him counter your q with it, after 6 if he misses his tornado he is doomed, so i recommend engaging with ult and then using e or w to prevent him from hitting his q”
forever0lp says “If you beat him to lvl 2 and don't eat too much poke before lvl 3 this matchup becomes a free lane. Respect his damage and tornado harass early and you will demolish him post 6. Buy berserkers on your first back, following with phage or stinger. Don't use E everytime he will dash on top of you in the minion wave as he can easily dash back with minimal damage taken. It's better to Q him when he gets close and then chase him with E. Respect his 0/10 powerspike as it will unlock his secret FF powers.”
Zephorgames says “Yasuo is easy to play against, just kill him when you're lv2 or bait him with your W and do Q - R - AA, it's very easy to play against Yasuo”
panger 174 says “VIRGO CHAMP. es tu counter mental, si no se te apaga el cerebro cuando se te tira le ganas, jugale chill pokealo un poko sin arriesgar. cometa o aery no se, me pongo nervioso cotra yasuo”
audiboo says “ If you do end up fighting him you should try to signal for help.
Yasuo can cancel out both her Q and E so you should avoid fighting him.
”
Debonair Karma says “Karma has the upper hand on Yas cuz she can W him while running away with E. He can block all of your dmg with his W though. Take exhaust.”
Axelote says “Almost unwinnable match-up. Try not to go into minions, farm only with Q and wait for your jungler. Only use your ultimate after he used his windwall.”
Gageowago says “If he is good he can easily avoid all your skillshots. Abuse with autos level 1 and always make sure his shield is down when trading abilities. After his windwall is down, you have about 22 seconds of a window to abuse him. Remember that if Yasuo gets ult off on you he will always appear behind you (except when near turret in which case he will appear as far from turret as possible), but most Yasuo players will immediately dash through you so charm him (if he has dash on you available) when he is locked in his dash animation. Also very easy to call for ganks against because without minions Yasuo is immobile.”
topal says “In theory this matchup seems super favourable.If you overextend and die it's hard to comeback play a bit safe and don't miss your cc abilities otherwise you will get destroyed. ”
YunaDragoon says “In my opinion Yasuo is one of the easiest matchups against Talon. Be sure to dodge his Q's when fighting him. And if he has whirlwind up then don't let him dash on you. This will force him to try and catch you in the wave or to use it as a ranged attack (if used as ranged, be sure to dodge). His windwall is a problem because it blocks projectiles. But if you bait it with your W you should be free to use your R on him. Just be sure that he doesn't get fed cuz then your game could be over. Personal tips on this matchup: 1. Poke a lot, just to bait his W and get his shield off. If he has no shield you should win most trades. 2. Wait with your R because of Windwall. Make him use it and it's a free ult.”
Ignix0 says “Yasuo wins this. His w is really annoying. I recommend just setting up a freeze and punishing him for every roam/ward placement he does. Only fight if his w is off cd”
Papapostolou says “Easy match up, if he picked yasuo after you, well he actually trolling as an every normal yasuo. The game is pretty much over for him. Try to always poke him and you should be fine”
Kataspina says “Same as Zed. He is pretty hard to deal with in the early game because he can windwall your Q, once he uses it he is vulnerable and becomes weak, rush seekers and he can't win 1v1s unless you fuck it up. ”
Lil Tidepod says “His windwall will negate pretty much all of your damage, because it takes away Q. Be really careful because he's very mobile and a skilled Yasuo will make your life Hell. If he goes on you, the best bet is to kite him out as much as you can. Stay back from the wave and let it push into you. If he's going to tower dive, try and root him. If he hits you with a tornado, I'd kiss yourself goodbye, because he's gonna ult you, and you probably stand no chance after he does.”
Capparelli says “Worth a ban, W can block your combo, his shield means you have around a 100-200 damage less then you should, and he can stop your R with W, even a bad Yasuo can blindly win this lane, your saving grace- if you get a lead you grab his balls and crush them, Tiamat to match his shove”
Giurg says “His Windwall completely denies your Q which is your engage. If you are ever going to face him, punish his bad windwalls by hitting him with your Q but never go all in. Farm and wait for ganks.”
BigBushMan says “Yasuo, like most other Assassins/Bruisers on the list, has a range disadvantage, but when they stick they don't let go. Especially not Yasuo, namely because it is so easy for him to stick onto you due to how he takes advantage of your own minion wave with his E. Freeze under turret and call for Jungle help, Yasuo can do nothing about ganks unlike Akali and Pyke who have escapes. ”
I main support says “He's very mobile, making it hard to land your charm, and his wind-wall is also really annoying, but when he doesn't have any of these, or the person playing him is bad, then he's not much of a threat.”
ahrienthusiastmain says “There's no counterplay against a good yasuo when he can just windwall a good charm. However, seeker's is a great item against yas. You try your best to go even in lane and be more useful than him out of lane. ”
JccmSaysNom says “Depends on the player who is playing Yasuo, Either the lane will be a breeze (heh) or you will get your ass handed to you, the wall is a big problem even if Yasuo sucks.”
serruh says “can ignore all your poke without much effort and stomp you early. if he has hands he can also windwall most of ur dmg and your root actually requires you to hit E on him so it's not as free to lock him down in a tough scenario or a skirmish”
Miandros says “Technically Fizz counters Yasuo, but if the Yasuo knows what he's doing he's going to bully you in the early stages. Play back and just absorb exp farming when safe for lvl's 1-3.”
Pline says “Dashing and prancing, it's hard to hit him with anything, especially with that annoying windwall. Try to hit him when's going for a minion or E him when he dashes through you. ”
HeyItsLeemo says “Annoying as hell, he will pick exhaust if he's good, and he will poke you with his undodgable tornados, and then go in for a easy ks with his ult.”
Malmortious says “He is all sorts of annoying and counters you, I won't lie. Try to get him behind early; he'll surely farm a lot after that , so deny him even more when he starts farming or roaming.”
Prenora says “yeah, his windwall sucks...but it's a 22s CD early, so when he uses it, unload onto him, get away from your wave when your cd's are down”
kujosrevenge says “You can first blood him at level 1 very easily and potentially snowball if he decides to stay in lane but if he roams around the map like he is supposed, to he will outscale you and you won't be able to do anything about him.”
The Venerable Racoon says “What a guy. Try to auto or W him to proc his shield before you attack. Always assume he has R since its low cd, try and predict the tornado and be careful since he can use your minions to dash to you. Ask for ganks early”
Inscaped says “Skill matchup with your advantage. His Windwall counters your Q, but the rest of your combo goes just fine. His E procs your E, so if he wants to engage you, just lay the "carpet" and his willing to kill you will drastically reduce in a second. Real easy, unless playing against Yassuo.”
t3rminated says “Some people think he is the hardest matchup, but he is actually not that bad. Not to mention, most yasuo players found in SoloQ are braindead monkeys that flame their entire team. Once his dashes get really predictable you can basically just full combo him and they are really readable. Maybe take exhaust as well. Note that his windwall does not block your R but blocks every other ability you have. Poke out his passive shield before using Q. ”
Loki029 says “if he ults you just avoid the fight, he gets 45% armour reduction on you. just go in if he has no ult, then silence to reduce his outplay capability and his w is useless vs a projectile garen (Hint: use w when he decides too fight and ignite when he has warlord and lifesteal)”
santifazio says “Su W nos corta la W y E pero al ser un melee debe hacercarse y podemos hacerle mucho daño. Con las botas puestas dentro de la torre le podemos esquivar todos los tornados rapidamente,”
spoilwrc says “Go glacial vs yasuo, you go attack speed/ap/armour runes, and poke him as much as you can while keeping distance. Start trading with spells after level 4/5. Wait for him to cast windshield first. If you cast your combos all at once and he windshiels --->> R and ruuuun. ”
KILLALLATONCE16 says “WELL MOE WOULD DEFINITELY KICK MY ASS BUT MOST YASUO PLAYERS SACK AT PLAYING YASUO AGAINST TALON
WELL HIS PASSIVE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WHEN YOU DIVE HIM”
ur_mom_gay says “Fairly even matchup. If you ever get ahead, its a nightmare for Yasuo, especially if he chooses Berserker's greaves over Ninja Tabi. Eventually you won't even need to hit your Q's and just Death Mark + auto a few times and he'll die. Try to freeze so that he can't run you down the lane. Proc his passive before stepping up to farm with your Q. If Yasuo dashes in to trade with you, Q + AA + E should proc electrocute, and usually you'll win the trade provided he doesn't hit multiple Q's. Ask for ganks. If they tend to dash through you after you R, have your WEQ at the ready for a guaranteed double Q. ”
chrisloths says “Yasuo is just a really annoying counter to Zyra. His dashes make it difficult to land both Zyra's Q and E and allows him to escape Zyra's ultimate before it knocks him up. His wind wall blocks both Zyra's E and her plants' auto attacks. Generally try to avoid picking into him.”
theboywhodominatedaplat says “Yasuo's will push pre level 6 always
let him do all the yasuo thigns untill u reach 4
before you all in him Q his shield
and then u win when u R him unless he somehow dodge all your Qs ”
Sloyr says “One, in my personal opinion, of the hardest matchups. His W can deny your Q and R, and his E makes a good Yasuo nearly impossible to hit with your Passive. Play safe and try to help your botlane, in teamfights try to look at his windwall to avoid it.”
s1rnasty says “This is the hard counter in lane.
The way is still doable you just need to always control the wave. You must either push or freeze the wave. Never ever let lane stay neutral or frozen in front of his tower.
The way to fight him is to hit q while he is locked in his e animation, which again comes down to wave manipulation.”
G7_Zeke says “Very squishy. You can very easily 1v1 him. Don't attempt to trade when there are loads of minions, because he can easily dash through them and do stuff like that, and then that's when you realize he's ulting you when you're on 100 hp. But, overall, easy pick.”
Eccentricks says “God help me its Yasuo.
This champ is my permaban normally, and it probably should be yours.
I haven't fought many recently... sorry, I mean any. Yeah, I ban that many.
Some tips though. Keep your distance, and be sure to listen for the audio cue of him getting his tornado.
Other than that, if you ever see him pop up on the enemy team, you might want to just dodge.”
Gogicha55 says “ANNOYING MATCHUP, Can avoid your damage with Wind Shield and can dash through you to dodge second W, Try to dodge his Qs and you might be able to win the trade, just hope that you get a trash yasuo.”
8wolf says “His mobility is an annoyance and if he gets close he outdamages you. Poke from a distance and dodge the tornado at all costs. They are usually over-aggressive so post 6 you might be able to get a nice ult and throw him in your tower for an easy kill/flash.”
Daedralus says “His shield and mobility can be a problem, but he cannot duel you either. Your healing is far superior, and the damage reduction from your E makes his initial E+Q combo non-existent. If he throws his tornado at you, Ult him! You cannot be interrupted while you ult, ignoring his tornado + suppressing him + healing yourself a lot + damaging him a lot. If you see him coming with a charged E + Q combo, hold down your Q, as you cannot be displaced while using it, which also stops him from ulting you this way. You can pretty much end a game without ever dealing with his ultimate.”
MrRiots says “Starting Item: Doran's 2/pots
Id say this is pretty even, because if you can dodge the whirlwind he wont do much dmg too you, until the team fights. Poke hes wall with W, then Q him when wall is down and R him to death, R goes thru the wall. ”
HeziEune says “Honestly it just depends on the yasuo. The threat level could be 1. Even if it is a competent Yasuo, he will probably just E into your tower at some point. I can't even say how many Diamond Yasuo players I've seen play like animals. Then I've seen some smurfing silver yasuo look like what Moe wished he was. Idk. F Yasuo lol”
Gemarn says “He can windwall your E, if he does not, he can windwall your following Q. So you lose laning phase no matter what, he can just dash in and outtrade you always. Is only playable if you're a lot better than him.”
lmasters says “50/50, a skill match on Qiyana rarely win, try getting him on a wall with R and burst him, before lvl 6, the better way is evade his trades and play safely”
Tehqo says “He's melee, so you have to poke him hard. Whenever his passive shield is up, you want to auto attack him to trigger it. This will make trading a lot easier, as his passive shield negates a fair amount of damage. You also just have to avoid his tornadoes and the matchup is already won. If he tries to go in on you, make sure you go near your turret to just ult him towards it. One main thing with this matchup is to make sure that you DO NOT WASTE YOUR Q. If the enemy Yasuo is at least decently smart, he'll realise that you're in a weak spot, and he'll dash to you to bash your skull in. It's fine if you're under turret if you're attempting to bait him though.”
NebuIa says “If he's e'ing in towards you, save your bubble. Odds are he will use the windwall immediately. Just try and observe his use of it. Maybe an early seekers. Use q in a creative way mid game to get around his windwall (throw to side). Consider phase rush or barrier if struggling.”
ApWuKong says “I dont even know why is he so hard, ah yes his e, you e to him he just e's you whole minion wave comes back with his 3 q stuns you ults you and u cant do anything, unless you w run and then he r's your clone.”
Je Suis Azir says “Set up a slowpush, he can't fight you. He seems to be annoying as shit, but there is something you can enjoy here. He is an all in melee champion, and you can fuck him in the skull if he is not as good as you. You need to use your Ws around minions he will dash to, and use your Q when he tries to leave or if he is going all in, don't use it too soon in a trade. Your ult makes his ult a liability to use.”
TheSpark says “His W stops everything minus your ult, can dodge constantly to make hitting him impossible. Try your best to pressure him early before he gets his core item, if you lost lane just shove and roam, you can't fight him.”
Tartertoot says “Yasuo's Wind Wall is quit annoying, but he's easy to counter when it's down since Yasuo relies heavily on minions to spam his dash. Neeko's E is empowered when it hits minions.”
Eriuboom says “Most Yasuo are brainded and only push wave. You are fizz and cs well under tower, just wait for him to dive you or get help from your jungler. You can also dodge his Q with your E”
DirtyBellyDC says “Stay away from your minions or Yas will dash to them and kill you.
Ping your team when he goes MIA so he doesn't snowball off a roamGet Zhonya's after boots.
Your Ultimate goes through his Wind Wall. (not a projectile!)”
Impswitch says “Wind wall sucks. other then that lane can be a little rough if you let him e up to you without punishing him. His 6 really isnt strong because your ult just wins it. However he is a late game beast and you wont be 1 v 1ing him there....”
INT Zimmi says “A matchup some of you probably would rate as hard so i will give you my thoughts. I personally believe its the best AD matchup you can get. Poke his shild with your q if he goes for lasthits w him and when he dashes out e him. After the trade or while trading you can auto attack him for gaining either fleet/electrocut or grasp. If you cant get fleet of in the trade just hit a minion and then wait for your cd's and fleet to come back. ”
GalioPlayer says “Melee assasin that does good dps , literally spells out dont pick galio but you can somewhat play against him because of your ability to get a zhonyas .”
cobbzy says “A goood Yasuo will pressure you early game and try to poke with his Q and tornado while you're walking to get CS. Farm with your Q and wait for an opening to E in. Make sure to take Doran's shield for this one as well. Early game you have him as long as his passive is down, but make sure to stay clear once he gets some crit. ”
KK Antitoxin says “His E gives him mobility to dodge and he has a wind wall that can block your Q and has strong CC that can lock you down for his teammates to kill you. when comboing around a wind wall, try to throw place W in a line with the wind wall to have chance of hitting him with more Qs rather than just placing W in his face where he can walk through the wall to blck all your damage.”
ioannissid says “Yasuo is dangerous because his windwall and block your winds of war plus he can dash around to escape from your spells. A good counter play is to use your shield of durand before he does anything so then you can use your abilities without the danger of him escaping or windwalling.”
vaske_lol says “Avoid fighting Yasuo if he has his tornado stacked and try to disengage after a short trade since he wins all-ins and you win short trades. Opt for Ninja Tabi.”
Poppy Kuma says “If you're a good Morgana mid, you should have no problem destroying him and winning lane. Deny him farm and don't let him get fed. It's your responsibility to make him worthless.”
HSperer says “He isn't thaaat bad. His windwall is annoying but well... he's paper. And if you are using my runes/armor, then he shouldn't be a problem to you.”
Rosalinn says “he can dodge your q easiely, because of his w and e, of course u need to don't panic with hos huricane and don't use e to fast. rito pls nerf yas. but at all his windwall don't block your w and r”
BlueCarding says “He counters TF. Let him push into you and play it like vs. Fizz. Bait him to use Q on cs, so it pushes into you. Later on you can outkite him. Don't goldcard in his windwall.”
i am a heron says “yasuo can't really trade favorably with you in lane, and most yasuos will underestimate your power and int into you. however, he will outscale you if he survives the laning phase. If every yasuo, instead of just most yasuos, played aggressive against you, this lane would have a rating of 1. The yasuos who sit back and don't fight you and wait for plays are the reason this lane is a 2.”
CupOLatte says “Probably one of the worst matchups. Extremely high mobility and his windwall makes most of your abilities useless. Avoid as much as possible. Just play safe and ask for lots of ganks.”
charlton says “He can W your Q and E and can easily dodge your E with his E. Look for level 1-2 trades and snowball on him. If you can Q - E him and use all your HoB autos level 2 then you can chunk him nicely. Also, use your stab Q instead of hook Q so he can't W it.”
Aizenvolt says “After Kassadin nerfs on his armor its a hard matchup. Poke him with q e and w when he gets close. His wall cant block your e. When he has his passive up use q to burn it then wait for q to return to engage if you want. Dont trade with basic attacks with him just do your e,w,q combo and get out. Also don't get far from your turret pre 6 because he can use his e and gap close fast and kill you with basic attacks and his q. Dont give him free kills because he can destroy you if he gets ahead. If he gets 1 kill dont leave turret for any reason unless a gank is coming.”
stupid katarina says “(Q + R + W*) If you are playing with a Twitch, you will have hard time shooting through his windwall. Ask your Twitch to ban this champion.”
Poro_King says “if you are playing at low elo, this lane isn't completely unwinnable. He can counter your q+r with his windwall, and he can negate a lot of your damage with his passive shield. always keep his shield down and never approach your minions. Because of his dash it is kinda hard to stun him. I would advise you to stay under turrent, farm, and wait for your late game.”
N1VA says “Yasuos mobility and wall is Anivias largest threat. Anivia needs to land her Q followed by her E to deal damage. Yasuos ability to dash around the lane and wind-wall Anivias abilities completely negates the opportunity to do so. Yasuo can then cancel Anivias Ultimate cast by landing a tornado on her and knocking Anivia up. Bait Yasuos wind-wall and then engage, utilizing the high cooldown on his ability to your advantage.”
Mr Scandalous says “Yasuo players can counter veigar 's ult ( R ) or any other ability acept for his stun ( E ) with their windwall ( w ) so and with their insane damage they can kill you preaty quickly if you dont play it smart.”
Mid Win Repeat says “I ban him 100% of my games. A good Taliyah CAN lane vs him, your E shreds him but its just too difficult to stop him in team fights or prevent him from getting fed off of your teammates.”
SupaSnor says “Either the yasuo is shit and you win easy, or you play vs The_Legend_27 yasuo and you are gonna have a rough time, yasuo can go from minor treath to exteme depending on the player. You should have the advantage because he is melee, spacing is super important in this fight.”
Sq_09 says “Worst matchup. Bullys you pre-6. You don't have kill pressure bc of his Passive. His W blocks your Q. He can easily kill you off of 1 R post-6. Try to play safe and wait for your jgl to assist you. Compensate for your lane disadvantage through roaming. ”
SrAlex-kun says “Yasuo es un emparejamiento basado en las habilidades y el farmeo, tienes que procurar alejarte de los minions cuando pelees contra el para que no pueda usar su E en tus minions. Tambien te recomiendo que no tires la Q solo te lances sobre el para que asi no te lo pare con su muro de viento, esperate a que lo use o simplemente este bajo de vida. Aparte tendras que usar bastante tu pasiva la cual te da velocidad cuando le petas las 3 marcas, usa esa habilidad para simplemente pegar los 3 basicos o habilidades y volver rapidamente hacia atras sin recibir mucho daño. No crees peleas muy largas ya que te va a acabar ganando.”
ToilettenHund says “Yasuo is not an assasin, but landing skillshots will be hard because of his dash. Also his passive shield will make it hard for you to oneshot him.”
YeeDS says “Can windwall all of your damage. Pushes you hard in the early game and will make you lose a lot of minions. To counter him use your E W combo on him when he uses his Tornado so he won't be able to ult you.”
Xelaadryth says “Good matchup for you, but you have to be very skilled at kiting. Don't stand near your creeps as it will give him a free dash to you; stand off to the side (hopefully the warded side). Try to maintain at least one stack on him so that if he engages, you can stun him with Q+W if you need to. Worst case you can E+Q+W to stun and disengage. If he wastes his dash on you, once you get out of auto range you can pepper him with autos, but beware the low cooldown on his Q stabs. Don't waste ult on him if he can jump away with his dash. If his wind wall blocks your charged auto it won't be wasted. If he's standing out in the open, he's probably waiting to wind wall your Q.”
Braddik says “can be annoying, after level 3 do short trades with your AA + W + E, his windwall cant block your E. Later on you'll just 1 shot him. Try to dodge nados as its really strong poke vs you. yo ucan buy seekers and tabis early if you want”
EvilBird090 says “Yasuo could also be placed in minor or major threat level, it really depends on how the lane goes. Whoever gets an early lead in this lane will destroy his opponent. Watch out that Yasuo does not just auto you to death level 2. You can Q and Ult through Yasuo windwall but your E gets blocked, so try to use it while you pool under him to guarantee it hits. If defensive try to dodge or if cornered pool his tornado to deny him the free knockup and ult.”
Calabeast says “This dumb champion is OP with Conqueror and will just walk into you level 1-3 and auto attack you to death. Also gets an item or two and solos your entire team.”
Calabeast says “This guy is a dick with conqueror, does so much damage levels 1-3, and once he has an item he can basically just heal back all the damage you can put out in a rotation.”
HeisendongNA says “Yasuo is one of the worst match-up for a few reasons. First, he can super easily E+Q turret to kill it and shield from his passive keeps him from taking too much damage in return. Second, his windwall blocks every ability in Heimerdinger's kit even the ultimate therefore one good windwall can completely shut down your turret. Build Zhonya's and take exhaust to survive against Yasuo”
Lasoor says “[General] Yorick can beat Yasuo, but it relies on being the better player(Neither has inherent advantage and both can burst the other quickly). A skilled Yasuo can beat a less skilled Yorick easily. It is best to melee poke him constantly with your Q before you all in him. Don't all in him unless he is low health and you will usually want your ultimate. ”
spark2 says “One of my least favorite champs, but Ekko does okay against him. He's at his weakest right after he misses his tornado Q, so trade then. Stay away from your minions so he can't get that BS mobility, and know that he can Wind Wall your Q. Also, be sure to pop his shield before you try to trade. If he ults you, ult him right back to undo some of the damage and probably catch him in the radius.”
Cloud375 says “Yasuo is difficult to lane against, but only depending on the situation, this is a harder skill matchup leaning to him but you can actually win this if you play it right. This is of course, presuming that the Yasuo knows what he is doing. If he doesn't, this lane becomes a whole lot easier.”
Tayna says “Ohno, if he goes all in and blocks your Q, you're dead.
He can get out of R, he has ABSURD DAMAGE just by hitting you with basic attacks!
Ask for ganks and dodge everything!”
Yu_1 says “Skill matchup, use a Q or E to break his shield before using your basic combo on him. Bait out his windwall before ulting, as if the Yasuo plays it well they can easily use it to block all your Qs.”
Garybaldo says “Depends on the skill of the yasuo, if he uses his E to dodge your E he has a good shot at winning, if you can land an E on him he's done, you blow him up with your Q at melee range, try and kite, your Q goes through his wind wall. In any case, you might wanna rush ninja tabi”
Sneaky boi says “Go tiamat versus him so you can proc passive and push the wave if he goes to roam to punish him. After you use tiamat for his passive try and trade with him but be carefull because his damage is insane. If you have ult you should be able to kill him with jungler help. Go tabis.”
YoussefJoe says “Higher Mobility champs causes his/her skills predictions are a little bit harder but you can always land your W at the right spot which he/she would stop by and do your skill order ”
Novok says “Play it smart. You win. Stay close enough for him to start smashing you with autos after dashing from a creep, you lose. My personal Nemesis. ”
worddog says “Windwall can mess up your combos and limit your outplay potential, his passive can also help him win trades if he has a minion wave to kite you with. This matchup is skill dependant slightly favouring Ekko as the Yasuo needs to play very well, not just as good as the Ekko.”
kali Jayce LAS says “DIFICIL:
CONSEJOS. BOTAS, MOVILIDAD Y CDR.
COUNTEREA SU W CON LA CARTA AMARILLA SIN LANZARLA, ESPERA PACIENTEMENTE QUE LA UTILICE LUEGO MUEVETE ALREDEDOR DE SU HABILIDAD Y LANZA TU W Cuando ya no tenga modo de pararte. ESQUIVA TU Q siempre !!!
Es un juego aparte esquivar su W.”
SirZeros says “This is pretty much a skill match up. A big downside for you is his windwall and his great mobility. But he is meleeranged, which makes it easier for you to farm and/or stun him.
He most likely will be way stronger than you late game however...
Especially in 1v1 scenario's, so try to teamfight against him or splitpush until he could come to you, then you just need to go away.
He can counter your E into Q pretty hard with his wind wall and so does he counter your first and most powerful auto attack if he wind walls or just by having his massive passive shield.”
ShuUis says “Now this. This is a true skill matchup. A battle for both players to test their mechanics. The matchup can swing in anyone's favor, so careful!”
MironW says “Yasuo has a lot of mobility, his windwall denies everything you do, you have to hope you can enable your team to carry because this matchup is impossible to win if he knows what he is doing.”
ratasniper says “He can easily kill you, and more with the Hail of Blades Q thingy, Yasuo's E can easily dodge your skills and his W is a great counter. Try to catch him with your E while he is dashing, make sure he has no W and all in him. ”
Flakees says “Having an ability that blocks your ultimate in the early stage of the game can ruin your snowball potencial.
Yasuo also has more wave clear with his E_Q combo, and no real weaknesses against Fizz.
This is a matchup that is hard for any Fizz to win, unless the enemy is trolling.
You will be pushed to your tower everytime, so try to get your jungler to assist you.”
Xalt says “Play around windwall cool down to ensure you get your reset on your ult also E him into turret range which is easy to do as he dashes forwards a lot!”
Euphoric Toaster says “Permaban. Yasuo fundamentally counters Heimer in pretty much every way. He has an anti-burst passive, hyper-mobility, he can very easily kill your turrets and he can Windwall any attempt you make to go aggressive on him/completely negate your presence in a teamfights with it. Windwall literally is able to block every source of damage in your entire kit, and the hit box on it is massive. In lower elos this matchup isn't as bad, but if you play against a Yasuo who has a decent idea what hes doing, you will feel worthless as a champion.”
J Husky says “He can only block your E with his windwall, your Q is undodgeable by him. As fizz, he is melee, you can abuse him and dodge his tornado with your W.”
xdKami_ says “Play safe:) This guy is smurfing and will dash on you with ignite, miss 3 Q's and kill you with conqueror and basic attacks.
Or if you're lucky he'll wait till 0/9 powerspike to kill you.”
Exscind says “Yasuos biggest advantage vs Kat is his windwall. To win this match-up, play around cooldowns and try to only fight after baiting out his W.”
Chromuro says “His windwall can block like 75% of your kit, it' pretty annoying and can all in you forever. There is still counterplay, but you have to be a bit skilled to win”
SeeEl says “Abuse whenever his windwall is down, and respect his dashes + all ins post level 2. Play the lane to farm out and you can easily outsustain with corrupting pot. You can go for priority level 1 but it is generally correct to pull this wave and zone post levels with your ball. ”
Big Shawn says “Kennen vs Yasuo. My Main vs my Main. Kennen should have barely any problems facing a Yasuo due to the amount of poke and CC he has available against him.”
Froakinator says “He can wind wall all of your abilities, rendering you useless while he is free to charge into you. Either play around windwall, rush Zhonya's, or play far back.”
DVL CHALLNGR says “Skill Matchup
He can easily dodge your Q's with his E and can block your W and your Passive damage so try to predict where he goes and you will stop his dash”
DVL CHALLNGR says “Skill Matchup
He can block your shurikens with his W and is much stronger with his auto attacks
You can cast R after he casts his Q3 before it hits you to dodge it and he won't be able to R you because he will need to hit you with Q 2 times and it will be hard for him
It's a good idea to R him after his R but it's a risk with the damage he will do to you”
Zeyan says “Windwall blocks your daggers and all of your abilities, If you bait it out he's relativily easy to 1v1 but if he isnt a smooth brain he will win lane.”
Patoxic says “It's hard, but not to much, is what you can say, tolerable, make sure that they don't have the passive when trying to poke, or even kill, but is easy, evolve Q first cuz wind wall can't stop all turrets hits.”
MrxHudsy says “He is able to block everything apart from your ult with his windwall, which causes alot of trouble when trying to poke him, Try to stay back and dodge his hurricanes so that he has less all in potential on you”
ZenonZeni says “Yasuo is weak early punish him before level 6. But if he does hit level 6 do not go close to your minions and play under tower since he will block every one of your abilities with wind wall. Wait for a gank or outplay under tower if he's greedy.”
DanDosXR says “His windwall is the only problematic thing about him. Either bait it or just play safe and try to bait him into coming to you. Once he gets too close you can ult him into your tower/allies to burst him.”
Wizboy73 says “If the yas knowes what hes doing its a hard lane, you can stun him and blow him up but if he has windwall and blocks in time he wins te trade.”
OnlyCheeseBreads says “He can't block your ult and he usually won't level up wind wall until 3, so as long as you can harass him early he's really not that big of a deal. The wall is still a problem, so don't just fling your spells at him past level 3. Respect his tornados.”
ranyyyy says “Not a Hard matchup if the yasuo player is bad, make sure you have your stun when he wants to engage you, dont waste your stun against him, also he can windwall your ult”
LiakoZ says “Yasuo will easily be able to dodge your Q with his E or protect himself with W on early game. The advantage there is that Yasuo does not use mana. Ekko would slowly spend it all and would have to recall. I would suggest playing safe by staying under your turret or at least close to it, to prevent ganks and yasuo killing you.”
Massive Nuts says “Yasuo is annoying but once you know the matchup, you can kind of control his pace and in teamfight you can E him and he loses all his mobility.”
deixa akali open says “Just make sure you will hit him your Qs and punish him. He can outscale you if you don't take care with his skills. It's a minor threat because he is very predictable”
Sundown23 says “Conqueror Champs generally counter Ornn, however Yasuo can dodge with his dash and makes extended trade go in his favor by kiting and using his Q on you.”
TwilightKid Zoe says “His passive Way Of The Wanderer makes it hard to trade with him keep far from minions and poke him to break his passive push him out of lane early to keep ahead stay clear of his Tornado and his W Wind Wall completely negates E Sleepy Trouble Bubble try to make his use Wind before hitting him with E Sleepy Trouble Bubble
”
TruePvPYT says “In this lane you either go even , or you loose lane and throw the game. Try to avoid his short trades and go for all in's only when you get your lvl 6!”
kiewe says “With this build i won over almost every Yasuo i was playing against,unless his jg will gank u every minute you will be ok as long as u can
catch him with q even if he dashes,if he's playing very aggresive then just poke from afar and then when he has like 50% health you can just one shot him with the combo Q+E+R this works for other champs as well.”
Zero Two says “As annoying as he is, if you bait out his windwall he is as good as dead. This however does not mean that he cant outplay you. Play with caution, and look for engages when both his shield and windwall are down.”
PizzaMarine says “This is the baby man that you will inflict the most pain on. As a Fiddlesticks going into Yasuo, make sure to harass him early game with many crows, and to suck him off when he attempts to bat you around with his pool noodle. However, do not let your cockiness get to your head, as it is possible that the Yasuo will achieve what is known as "Ultra Instinct," and will continue to fight you and burning you with Ignite. They will taunt you and think you are some lowly scoundrel. but do not fret, as your job is to tilt the player and not actually kill him in-game.”
vzelt says “Yasuo is a good matchup for akali due to your shroud being a way to dodge his tornados. With both these champions being mostly melee it is hard for you to be bullied by yasuo as long as you are poking with Q and disengaging from any bad trades/ganks.”
SepekuAW says “This matchup gets really hard later on, it's kinda like ekko. this entire lane is about predicting his e.
Yas windwall only blocks your E and your R. you can Q + W over it.
pay attention to where your minions are, don't stand too close to them or he will dash straight for them and get on top of you, you lose if he's on you.
If yasuo gives you space you should walk into your minions and zone him.. this makes it so he can't e since he is too far away.. q him when he goes to walk up to them.. and back off, slowly poking him down. if he positions close to them, you can walk at him like you're gonna q to force him back. If he doesn't back just poke him with q.. at lower elo it's easy to predict when he's gonna e through a minon cause he'll wait till it's really low then start running towards it.. this is when you wanna get ready to q + e him!”
Flygenring says “Really depends on the yasuo's skill level, hug tower if he gets lvl 2 before you. As he will stack conqueror and hardcore out trade you. MAX E to disengage him.”
Xavier Senori says “Yasuo is pretty easy to deal with pre-6 because of your Miasma. Yasuo players are notorious for all inning around level 2-3, so just have a point in miasma ready and drop it and move into it whenever they engage on you. This will allow you to get off at least 2-3 Twin Fangs while you retreat. Take Exhaust, invest in armor runes, harass him whenever he tries to CS, and avoid confrontation in your minion line, as he will just dash around, making it impossible for you to land your Q's. Buy an early Seraph's Embrace/RoA and Zhonya's Hourglass and you should be able to easily out duel him at all stages of the game.”
The Jhin Cena says “Grab a Randuin's as your 5th item when facing him. Unless fed, he shouldn't be too hard. If they have no AP, then grab a Randuin's as your 2nd item instead of Visage. Your lifesteal will make you win 1v1s against him.”
Kaized says “Can bait your ultimate by dashing in and out of minions. Windwall blocks your bind which is a major component of your damage. Sit back and save your shield for Tornados.”
Pumparum says “Yasuo is manaless and slippery and does high damage, but he isn't impossible to fight. Getting damage down on him early before he can sustain or go for long fights is key.
Early on you may need help from a jungler so he doesn't pressure you out. Watch for tornado if you decide to Snowball engage, the windwall doesn't block it until you let it go.”
kilgta says “Should be pretty easy. Keep wave on your side of lane and you wont die ever. You both have equal wave shove but you poke him hard after liandries.”
MechaaZero says “Personally I love this matchup. Genuinely. What I do here is stall until 6 and piss them off for doing nothing, and all in them after they muff and tornado. Watch the wind wall and it will help you get damage off: Q after he places it if you land a sleep. He can win an all in almost every time if he lands a tornado.”
Latarnia40 says “Yassuo is a bad champion. Attack him after his shield is down. If he uses his W jast wait till it ends. The only problem is that he can doge your abilities by using his dashes. ”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Do you hate Yasuo? Good. If you see that he's going to be top, you will absolutely DESTROY him with this build. Rush Sheen and tabis and only Q him when you have your grasp ready. After level 6, he has no chance of killing you.”
maplecat21 says “He's annoying. A good one will ruin your day pre-6, a bad one will int you. I play it safe and ban him, since you can never really be sure. You can fight him post 6 by dancing in ult though, and you can catch him mid e with q, since he can't windwall while dashing.”
EvilOranges says “Corruption Potion or D-Shield. This matchup is a skill matchup. If the Yasuo pushes, you win. If you push, he wins. If it freezes in the middle, he wins. Let him push the lane, otherwise he has a lot of room to kill you as you are running to tower. You beat him after 6, he shouldn't be able to land a tornado against you.”
CoffeeCube says “This match up is purely a test of skill. Dodge his Qs and be very wary of when he hits 6. Like most champions once hes in the cage, he has no abilities to escape.”
Altis says “Naturally, having an ability that blocks projectiles will cripple your chances of damaging him, since he can throw up the wind wall just before he falls asleep. But sometimes you can outplay him, but that's all on how skilled he is. Play safer and try to bait out the wind wall.”
Wrxith says “Quite difficult if the yasuo player knows what he's doing. It'll be near impossible to hit Q or E due to his E. Most Yasuo players get cocky and try to play aggressive, so you can go for a Q into tower and then E him when he have no minions.”
RagexAddict says “Yasuo won't be much of a threat to you in the laning phase, unless you happen to misplay at levels 1-2. Avoid throwing your ultimate at him when he is aware of your presence and has his windwall available. The real threat from Yasuo comes in the late game, when his ultimate can decimate your team if he has the right supporting cast around him. Put him down early and keep him down. Make him your priority target in team fights. ”
Envel says “To Mobile for Ahri but can get also hard destroyed by your Ahri you can easy Charm him if he tries to e you.
While he flying to you or threw minions he cant dodge.
”
Vombat says “Use your E on lane to make him unable to dash between minions without taking damage. It may be hard to land a combo but when playing safely and slowly poking him, you shouldn't have any bigger problems.”
MadMaster523 says “This matchup heavily favors yasuo. His windwall makes your q useless and he has a pretty big gap closer. Mega form is the only time u should trade with him. However, if he uses his windwall you can q him and try to auto attack him.”
The Jhin Cena says “Most Yasuos I've faced haven't been an issue. However if they don't have really slow reflexes, then you may have trouble landing a fully charged ult on them unless from bush or out of their view range. If they're new to Yasuo and don't know anything about Fizz then you could maybe bait them into windwalling and then land your ult on them. In the end, facing a Yasuo depends on how good they are at the champion, because Yasuo does have a lot of outplay potential. Though an unfed Yasuo vs. you should be easy since your damage should be superior to him.”
0mega best says “Super easy, you do more damage and you are tankier than him, you will simply destroy him. Destroy is mini passive shield then poke him to death has much as you can, very easy and high chance of winning.”
SrSuders says “Die frühe Laningphase ist nicht schwer, aber ab Level 6 wirds schwieriger! Demnach bis Level 6 aggressiver spielen.
Ab Level 6 Situationsbedingt handeln, entweder spielste gegen einen 2/0 Yasuo oder 0/2 Yasuo.
Beim zweiteren kann man auch ab Level 6 weiter aggressiv spielen um Farm zu verhindern.”
Yegie says “Not the worst matchup, go for boots early to help dodge his Q. You usually negate his passive with your E's passive, since its hard to avoid being hit by that as a melee champ. Pretty skill dependent.”
Fluctuation says “Yasuo is another champion you might have a hard time against. Try to get your jungler to gank early to gain an advantage. Don't engage him unless his shield is down.”
LyndonK9 says “Yasuo is pretty annoying mainly because his shield allows him to trade in his favor, and your early damage just isn't enough.. Try and auto him to proc his shield and go for trades after it's down. His e is pretty annoying because it allows him to dodge your abilities but it actually makes it easier to charm him while he's mid dash. Another reason why this sucks is because your charm doesn't last long enough to get your second Q part off, as he usually windwalls backwards. My advice would be to continue to push the lane and roam or ask your jungler for ganks. Even if you manage to trade with him early you will use up all of your mana and be forced to back. ”
Yuriina says “Yasuo being able to dash around and poke at you with qs and nados are a massive pain considering you are super immobile, ontop of that Yasuo has his windwall which blocks all your spells. ”
hipstersora says “Beware a good Yasuo player. Their windwall negates your entire kit, from Q to W to E to R to even your autos. What you think was a good ult will be windwalled. He basically makes you useless, even if he's behind. If he's ahead, then GG the enemy team is going to get hypercarried.
However.... he has to save his windwall to protect himself from your ult, so in lane post-6 he's susceptible to ult. He still has dashes though. I insist you focus on clearing the best you can, and whenever you're alone in lane roam bot for a kill. You certainly won't be killing Yas unless he all ins you and fails or doesn't play safe.
It should be noted his E has a fixed distance so if you ever see him start to E around you can WQ where he'll end up and he can't dodge it. ”
LighterDay says “Yasuo's dash makes it hard to land skillshots and his windwall can block them. However, he is squishy and since windwall has a high cooldown, baiting out a Yasuo windwall is best to just poke with autos and stack on enemy minions.”
DaytonMcCloud says “His passive is annoyingly strong, and he has a windwall that can negate most of your kit. You'll be under tower most of the time. Trade after his 3rd consecutive Q. All in with no windwall when pushed in. Ping Jungle.”
KatAirlines says “His windwall will ruin all of your combos by just deleting your Q dagger. Do NOT shumpo into your q dagger until its landed. Dodge his Q's in early game.”
PhoenixianSlayer says “The higher the skill, the higher the danger. No skill Yas is easy to kill. High skill dances around and kills you whenever he pleases”
TotallySugoi says “Yasuo isn't too big of a threat, however his wind wall is very good against Lux for blocking both her Q and E. Aim to stun him when windwall is on CD and then use your combo. Play lane passively while farming and poking.”
Ahrimu says “Just try to bait his windwall before you start a fight and don't play too aggressive against him. Don't forget to move a lot while he's going to cast his tornado, the chances of him missing it are higher.”
SkyLaws says “It all depends on your early here. If he falls behind, you're his nightmare. If you do, he is yours.
Watch out for his E, the dash can be tricky and make you miss your abilities and combos. Try to land the abilities when there are no minions or try to predict.
Insist on basic attacks to trick him into using his W for nothing, once that is used, he's all yours.”
YourBestSenpai says “Yasuo is hard to deal with, but shouldn't give you too much trouble, unless he is hard Yasuo main that is actually skilled. Just try to farm and wait for your jungler to engage.”
Ec40494 says “Pre level 3 you lose. Don't engage when pre 3 because you will lose 100% of the time. Try take out his shield with your q before all in. Level 6 you win but if enemy yas is good he can win as well.”
BL00dY3nD says “Counter his Q Storm with your E+W combo and you dodge it + you will deal damage. Get Hextech Portobelt and Zhonyas to dodge easier and you will be the hero of the game. He will roam alot so don't forget to SS. Your Q wors threw is Windwall (W)”
Bughans says “I ban this guy every game. I just hate yasuo in particular. But still, he can shut down your combo if he places windwall on himself. And if you go in, and he realises you fucked up, he'll just Hasaiyo you to death. Just fucking annoying to play against in general.”
Helnakensbrorsa says “Farm with q and try not to push. Play safe until 6. After 6 just do small trades and proc electrocute. Later into the game you beat him harder.”
Mern says “Your general AD champion which counters Kassadin.
BUT It's not as bad as Talon or Zed.
Depends a lot on player skill.
Rush Seeker's and after lvl 6 if you dodge tornados you are fine. Try poking him down. Also whenever he Q you, teleport sideways and E>Q combo. If he gets too close, trade with W and run away with R if needed. After lvl 11 it's free win.”
hetter12x says “It might be suprising but yasuo W, passive and high damage early is complete pain in the ass for kat! He can delete your daggers mid air!”
Swift_Trapper says “Can W your Q longer fights he win
But
If you just play def and wait for him to get to close burst him down and run away
Wining trades easy against yasuo
his early is weak .”
Best Karth NA says “There are a couple ways you could play this lane out, but I usually prefer to just allow him to shove early on and keep the wave towards my turret, setting up your jungler for a gank. Yasuo is going to have the advanatage 1v1 early on unless you can hit all of your Qs, so just look to build a CS lead and punish him for any misplays. ”
Siand says “Yassuo is a weird matchup in the sense that its outcome mostly depends on him. Careful use of windwall will make you somewhat useless against him, so try to bait it out with your w and auto attacks, Barrier is pretty much a must in this match-up.”
NescEI says “Go in when he got no Windwall (W) and don't try to fight in minions, play save when you ulted or w'd him and you couldn't kill him. Try to dodge or to predict his Q-nado, If you dodge it with your ult you win the fight almost everytime”
noolan says “Completely dependent on skill. Bait out his wind wall before using death lotus, and of course dodge his tornados with shunpo. This will definitely be a difficult lane for you if he is good at Yasuo. Although his wind wall has a long cool down, he can still block your entire combo with it. Abuse him when his wall is on cd.”
BoopForTheTroops says “If he gets fed early then you will be useless. Auto him to proc his ult then once he releases his tornado then go in for some poke. You beat him early game.”
Shderen says “You can silence him through his E, but that's really all you've got. If you can manage to hit him with Qs and autos then do so, but he's likely to all-in/poke you. Seek jungle assistance as he nearly always pushes up. An experienced Yasuo knows their duel limits extremely well, better than most players. If they seem confident to go in, retreat immediately. Wind Wall can't be up forever, predict his E usage and leave him a nice little Starcall and run away.”
HerrSolahri says “Fight him either in a big enough Wave so he gets a lot dmg by Minions or in no Wave so he can't e. If the wave isnt big enough he is too hard to hit and builds up his Shield too fast.”
Fruxo says “Yasuo against Jhin can be pretty hard if done wrong. If he tries to poke you down then return some auto attacks and use your Q, it's an even better situation if you can proc get him CC'd during this period of time aswell while not taking to much damage. Your W is also pretty good to use if you are with a Support that can land CC on him for a good W like Leona.”
Default Ryze says “Despite being a melee champion Yasuo can be difficult to handle. Remember to play safe in lane to minimize the advantage he has over you. Try to bait out his windwall and use your root to zone if he gets too close. Also because of his mobility he is difficult to hit, so harass him with Flux Spread.”
CharmingFeather says “Early game you crush yasuo, mid-late game of course that will turn around, but do your best to not let him get 2 or more kills. So sit under turret and wait for a dive, if you don't he will E Q to poke you down and engage with ult and by that time you're dead.”
Extro Huski says “This annoying piece-of-shit can block all of your attacks, making you have to reorient your ult to at least try to get somewhat of a trade off. This is Sona's biggest counter.”
aButteredPoptart says “Yasuo is a dangerous counter to Ahri. He has not just mobility from E, but his wind wall as well to dodge your skillshots. Always poke off his shield when its safe and respect his tornado when its up. These two things along with respecting his mobility can actually win the lane if you play it right.”
SmokeyEggs says “Remember, i am assuming that all the players in these matchups are beyond average, so Good Yasuo's will rush Wit's End and Mercs against you. His damage and healing will shred you, along with his Windwall denying your Q and his pushing power as well. Building an early Seekers will help in matchups like this and try to suprise him with ganks. ”
BicBee says “Stay away from minion waves. Look to AA his shield and W to harass. Don't throw abilities out too fast because there's a chance he will block with his wall. His wall is around 18s CD so abuse that. ”
Ethereal Ezio says “Yasuo's wind wall does not block ult or Q, but does block E. He can get to you quick and a very very aggressive Yas will be very challenging. Otherwise poke and farm, and you may even kill him. His danger ranges from a 3 to a 9 based on skill, and is the most unpredictable matchup here. ”
BicBee says “Stay away from minions if you can. AA him to break his shield before you land your skills on him. Building seekers can help you in this match up if you're struggling. It's pretty easy to land your skills onto him when he's dashing forward. If you can't then stick to your AA's and shield as he's coming in and look to land skills as he's exiting out. ”
AzureArmatt says “When bad yasuo won't even bother with efficient use of his E dashes, good yasuo will actually doge all your skill shots while leaving you defenseless when he closes up the distance where he shines. Later in the game he can literally use 3 attacks on you to kill you if he gets a lead. If you keep him on your side of the lane it will give you more space to chase him (he will be further from turret) and also he won't be able to use your minions to dash around as he wants too. Your best time to attack is when his wind wall is on cool down so he won't be able to block your skill shots (mainly charm). He counters skill shot reliant champions and we're on great disadvantage here so don't skip seeker's armguard and even consider buying ninja tabi (if they have many AD champions).”
ninjashmon2 says “Yasuo can block you'r Q with his windwall (W) and you'r Q does probably most of the damage. But also you can dodge his abilities with you'r W and also poke him with it.”
javimc17 says “He can't do nothing against you. Stay focused on farm and poke him with E. If he engages, use your E+W to survive his first strikes and kill him easily with your Q+R. ”
NocUout says “Mostly a skill matchup, he outdamage you first 2 levels, but level 3 you should beat him. Unless you're ahead, dont engage on him unless you see an opportunity. When you WEQ before of him dashing to minions to dodge the abilities, and use your ultimate to dodge his tornado so he can't ult. ”
Gerrage says “This will be your EASIEST lane of your life. He can't do anything against you, as long as you make sure you do not get hit by his tornado, you will be winning every single trade. ”
SerbianMafia says “Good yasuo will dodge ur passive spins easy, block your q and r good and make u suffer so much because that. His tornado also can cancel Kats ult so you should realy take care of him.”
thedonk says “The main problem is his windwall. If it's on cooldown, you can go in for a trade. It's best if you use your chains against him as it will stop him from dashing everywhere. Dodge his Q's and tornado with your W. ”
kiNGSHADE1488 says “Not a threat, but he have a shield too, and that's hard to harass him. He will just running around like a chick and waiting for ganks.”
Dudstrol says “Depois de alguns jogos contra, yasuo se tornou, para mim, uma das rotas mais difícil do jogo. Sua alta mobilidade é bem chata, sua parede de vento impede suas habilidades e seu dano critico o torna bem poderoso.Caso ele tenha gume evite trocas.**Não consigo ajudar muito, pois todos os jogos que vou de Ryze eu tiro yasuo.”
Padrepio says “His wall blocks your Q and your R, but you can hit him with E and W! Remember to keep his shield down with AAs (or passive if you're lucky). He can dash over your minions to reach you, avoid engages if he has 3 stacks of Q. Care of his 100% crit chance.”
Valor_Chaos says “An annoying lane for sure. He can windwall most if not all of your damage, but only once. Wait for your opening, clear those waves and try your best not to die. Best option here is to sustain out the lane and get 11, then split”
Jazzmonkey says “skill matchup. Go tiamat vs Yasou it can proc his Passiv so its rly usefull for you. Trade him after his passiv is gone. Try to kill him with level 6. ”
overweight_zoe says “Hyper mobility and the OUTPLAY BUTTON (W) are super obnoxious. His passive shield also helps him eat that early harass. Can decently bully him levels 1-3 but will eventually have to play around your ult post 6. ”
EmperorEthernity says “In the laning phase he can be a huge threat. Stay back and dont fight him directly. In Team Fights he can be easily dealt with your Ultimate”
drunken hunter says “Yasuo sux against Rengar in the early game, especially on the top lane - you can carefully try to do the early poke, dodge his (Q) and do safe engage if you are lvl 3/4 or higher. ”
Dr Wonderdrugs says “Son mur de vent sera une vrai plaie pour vous mais en ce qui concerne son passif je vous recommande de lui donner une balle normal ou un spell puis de le tuer avec vos gros dommages.”
Zaradine says “People say that you counter Yasuo but it's more skillbased. Whoever get's the first kill or two wins lane. dodge his whirlwind and watch out for his E. He'll more than likely windwall as soon as you jump on him”
Tipurrs says “Pop his passive with your AA. Wait for him to waste his Windwall then Burst him at 6. He's too squishy unless he rushes Hexdrinker or other items that gives MR. I suggest using W to stun him as he will use his Windwall to block your Q and AAs.”
tsyuu says “You should always beat him, but watch out. Good Yasuo players will usually give you a hard time.
But lets be real, who is really good at Yasuo?”
Finish Flash says “Yasuo has more overall dps than you in the early parts of the lane, so look to do short trades with him until you can chuck him out enough to all-in and kill him. Don't extend trades with him unless he's low enough for you to kill. Rush Seeker's Armguard and don't use your ultimate proactively on him as his windwall will block it. Save your ultimate for when he dashes onto you.”
BARAL says “His Wind Wall can block all of Lux's spells besides her ultimate. During laning phase, he passively builds up a shield from Way of the Wanderer, and has movement in lane due to his Sweeping Blade. This is a hard counter, so stay passive and watch out.Your Final Spark can go through his Wind Wall so you can do this when him or someone else is low.
Your Lucent Singularity can't go through his Wind Wall but you can place the middle of the bubble in front of the wall.”
LionLifeSteal says “Can windwall your ult and your q but if you hit him with anything and he doesn't have magic resist he will die quickly. Play with your team to counter him.”
mcasterix123 says “It's kind of odd. On one hand you can just push him around if you avoid being too reckless, but at the same time, his W can nullify your Ult. You MUST only ulti when his W is down.”
ikiilyou7523 says “Contra un yasuo te serviran las runas de aliento agonico (las de valor)
Tambien intenta ir pokeandolo con tu Q o con tu E ve bajandole el escudo de su pasiva.
Despues de nivel 6 puedes esquivarle los tornados con tu R y asi hacer que no use su R ”
moutenn says “Fun matchup. You have the upper hand, but a really good Yasuo will know what to do against you.
Think about it this way. If yasuo hits his R you will loose, if he does not you will win, Therefor use R to juke his tornado. Also try and bait his windwall with your W-E. He will panic and send it out. Wait till its down, then take it and AA him. He will use tornado so R him, and kill him with your Q's.”
qasddsa says “Skill matchup. Max E from the start and run Grasp. Whenever he gets into range for E, use it immediately before he dashes out of range. If he comes into your melee range, you can do a full spell rotation along with a Grasp proc with E + AA + W AA + Q + E (assuming he has used 4 abilities) to trade back extremely well against him. Most of the time though, a simple AA + W AA with grasp + E is enough to trade back against him and stop him from going in further.”
Yadashi says “Yasuo can be quite tricky. Because of his high mobility and windwall, it's hard to land your ablities. Keep a distance to him when his tornado is up. You're able to hit Yasuo with your passive through his windwall!”
WhiteSheepz says “Yasuo is simply an annoying champion to face, his wind wall can block your E however it cannot block your Q. Try to poke him down and don't stay too close to your minions. If he dashes too you try and stun him- similarly try to avoid his Q tornado shot so that he cannot ult you. If he does ult you do your best to back off as he does lots of damage.”
vitim do morro says “He can be dangerous if you dont play smart because of his shield wall that can stops your ult. You need to go in with the combo a talked early and try to land your R close because far you won't”
Rugie says “Probably the hardest enemy you can get. Is extremely hard to trade with him if he is doing good. You need to take his passive shield or his windwall down if you want to trade something. Try to dodge his Q's. Take doran's shield. Ask for gangs from you jungler. You can also take armor runes to be more tanky.”
Draczor says “Don't get near minions and dodge his tornado's. On level 1 he can't do anything against you so make sure to Q + AA him as much as you can to establish a lead so you can do the same thing on level 2. Just make sure you keep a good distance from him so he can't dmg you. If he goes in to trade, AA his passive shield and land your combo afterwards as you walk away from him. You can use your gravity field to stun him if he goes too deep on you and has no minions to dash away from it. In that moment you can try to all in on him with your ult and quite possibly kill him unless you already are low on health or behind. Exhaust is pretty good in this matchup. If he has the advantage then don't try to fight him, focus on farming and wait until he makes a mistake or for your jungler to gank. ”
mandatorycloud says “Windwall completely shuts down your combo potential. Be careful looking for trades if it's available as you will never hit your W or E if they're good.”
weinerman says “hah, pathetic, you might think that yasuo would be good against adcs as an adc but he actually sucks against sivir. you know the way that yasuo's tornado is already the easiest thing to dodge in the game? well to make EZ sure that it never hits you have a spell shield. also you can just spell shield his q. also you out-damage him if he engages and u spell shield his q. also you win btw.”
RYZE number one says “Mesmo que muitos considerem skill match-up, e que você consiga solar ele nível 2. A partir do 4 a lane vira completamente para o Yasuo, ele te sola muito fácil por possuir muitos dash, sem contar que você não consegue pegar siege contra ele.”
XBlackyX says “Just do the damage until he's upset he will come to kill you then use your combo (In early game he's better than you because he uses nothing for cast skill Just Shout HASAKI) ”
Felispo says “Fica mais difícil quanto mais você sobe de elo, pois geralmente em elos baixos o Yasuo irá focar tudo no "Q", sendo que o Aurelion é stompado se ele focar o E.”
Andicus says “Again, depends on your skill. Watch out for level 2 fights. He generally beats you pre-6 with more consistent faster aa damage and Q's. Try to go all in when he doesn't have windwall. Get E second if you can fight him early when he E's to poke you. If not get W to play safely. If he lands his knockup and ults you before you do anything, try to ult him as soon as you land and flash away / w away and then Q E. You can usually bait his tornado and W R E W Q him.”
JohnnyC says “I'm just joking he will knock up but you can bully him and late game if he ask you for a solo just say yes and free kill I just messing with you of course yasuo can't be a threat but this is just a tip”
rimzaki says “Down him shield with ur basic attack dont trade him early game when hes shield on save ur sanguine for hims tornado He no match against ur sustain and nuke Hes wall can not protect himself ”
Sozzoh says “You counter Yasuo because he's melee, so auto attack him if he has his passive shield up, then poke the living hell out of him. If you dodge his nado's, then you've pretty much won lane. If Yasuo is missing, warn your team right away because if he gets only a few kills, he can snowball pretty hard and be unstoppable, especially with 100% crit after two items.”
Master_Yagyu says “makes your amor useless,because of penetration from ult,avoid him when he have tornado,then kill him if he doesnt have tornado and thats should be good.”
Prenora says “Yasuo is stupid, while it might seem like you have the advantage because he's melee, you don't the more minions, you have the stronger he is, so don't push him in, instead let him push you to 3/4 your side, just out of tower range, and keep your wave there. dodge his skill shots, and just focus on managing your wave, should he choose to leave lane and roam, push it right to his tower and reset the process. Dont try to fight him or you will certainly die. his windwall blocks most of your damage”
TacoLubber says “His Dashes are quite annoying so he can usually get out of your W fast IF he is paying attention. Try to always have his shield down before a teamfight happens”
Witwickies says “Difficulty lies in foreseeing Yasuo's location after his dash. And, of course, dodging his tornado. As Zyra it's easy to just activate his shield once per while and simply poke him. If he has no targets to dash nearby, you can go with all-in. Take note, that his W can't block your Q, as you press button behind shield.”
Prenora says “Yasuo is by far the hardest matchup, his windwall blocks all of your abilities, his dash makes it impossible to land your bubble and his passive shields nullifies the damage of any poke you do manage to land, your goal is to keep him around half health through E and W, don't even waste your bubble until your jungler comes to help.”
undeadsoldiers says “His kit was made to counter mages. Especially squishy ones such as Zoe. The best thing you can do is ban him, or try to work your way around him.
A Yasuo always strives to keep 3-4 minions still alive, so he can use them to E dash to you to engage, and to disengage. Don't let him do that and try to E him while he's trying.
He can windwall your E, so either pray he has bad reflexes, or simply punish him when he wastes it, since the cooldown is much higher than on your E.
You can poke Yasuo a lot early game to pop his Flow, but he's annoying if he can get in your face.
Once he uses his W, he's open to your combo.
If you find yourself unable to sidestep his tornadoes, you can use your ult to avoid them.
If he gets a kill he'll snowball hard.
Suggested: Armguard rush if necessary”
Morathin says “His winwall can block all of your abilities (except R). It also block your W, even if he gets hit by its 1. instance and casts his W after. He also has very high mobility with his E.”
pokeball says “Pretty difficult matchup because he excels at extended lane phases and extended trading. Ekko does not do well in both of these situations early game and you need a couple of ganks to handle this lane. Pushing is hard because he can deny a whole wave with windwall.”
macspam says “Mosquito-like champ, everyone knows how irritating he is. On paper you think you can just E him, but he will just 'outplay' you by dashing out of the radius. Also be careful because his ult is a blink and will go through the cage. ”
wo xiang zhaoo says “Same as Talon, if you don't give him unnecessary kills, you're in a fine spot. Your E can surpass his Windwall. Surprise him with that E max through the Windwall.”
PilkkuOffical says “He has good waveclear and you cant really do anything when he jumps on you by using your minions to dash, stay far away and farm safe. ”
Jukapiz says “He can be annoying to deal with, just focus to autoattack him once, when he has his sheald. Then poke him and it'll be all good. If he windshields, go besides it, combo, and you'll be good.”
Kaeze Poulsen says “Yasuo has a lot of DPS and burst damage on his kit, as well as CC and mobility, but his Windwall will make your Starsurge and Voice of Light useless.
You can't take Exhaust because he usually takes Conqueror and you can't roam, you just need your jungler's help.”
Itsyaboyorchid says “Be aware of his wind wall, it will stop your ball mid-movement. His mobility counters Orianna, play safe, try to snag a bad Yasuo player with R under your tower (he WILL try to dive you).
”
JuaniG17 says “His windwall, if thrown properly, can deny your rake's(W) damage and stacks for Talon's passive. This ability has a long CD though so bait it and then try to all in as soon as your W is up and he doesn't has the shield on.”
Eccentrik says “Okay, first of, he's annoying with his dash, second, he's painful as heck if you keep getting hit by his Q's. He has no mana so it's best you ask help from your jungler everytime he's overextending. Fake your charm by auto attack cancelling on him multiple times until he uses wind wall. Also remove his annoying passive shield because let's face it, you can't deal max damage with that up.”
Prenora says “Yasuo's waveclear is the main problem for you, he can push the wave so fast, and his passive shield while easy to pop makes going in on him tricky, wait until he gets too close then jump on him. keep your wave even with his best you can or wait for jungle pressure”
AQRC Turtle says “Skills matchup, avoid to extend ur trades early game and dont fight in your minion wave. Post lvl 6 u should be able to win the 1 vs 1
Talon outdmg Zed early. Be carefull of his passive 3rd AA Proc but keep ur lane pressure to avoid his roams
evbut it mostly skill match ”
asffg123 says “Yasuo is limited in his reach, so playing correctly (not staying next to minions) will allow you to get good auto attacks and abilities in. Dodge his skillshots and play semi-safe. You are likely to win laning phase.”
Rosie Posy says “You can keep a match with Yasuo even if you allow him to push under turret and can bait out his windwall since without it he will won't be able to fight you or avoid you. ”
GeneralJ0hn27 says “He`s a very aggressive laner which means he does half the work of killing him self by running into you. First thing is level 2 (both of you), once he E`s in that's when you strike with Q and E. after that the lane should be a snowball and continue pressuring him at all levels past that.* his wind wall blocks your Q.”
Bengineer says “That annoying windwall can block your E, but, when you have an empowered Q, it can't block it. Don't lose your guard, but, if you want to poke him, make sure to auto him and then Q him. ”
Snowyfreezer says “This is mostly a skill matchup favoring yasuo as he has more dashes and can easily escape your W and could possibly Wind wall your Shark”
BattleXD says “Yasuo seems like a 50/50 to me. Yes your W does stop his dash but for a way to short of a time for the amount of dashes that Yas has. His wind wall blocks your W and your E but not Q. ”
Sadmanv2 says “Level 1 Aggression. Stay away from minion waves, constantly knock off his windshield. bait his wind wall, his melee threat is severely reduced. ”
Smol Jelly says “Your Q, E, and W are skillshots. Yasuo's Wind Wall blocks all of those. He's highly mobile and prevents all of your major poke. If you're lucky enough to land a root, he'll still block the E. He can't stop your ult though. Regardless. He eats Lux for breakfast.”
KarateciKagan says “Honorable mention:
yasuo is not that big of a threat when faced in toplane considering others in this list, but his wind wall fucks up ornns ult so bad I nearly always ban yasuo when I play”
ShokLoL says “You can't really kill Yasuo but you can W his tornado so unless you let him get on you, you should be pretty safe from dying. Keep the wave on your side so he doesn't have a lot of room to run you down.”
ShokLoL says “Yasuo can be scary early but you do incredibly well into him in teamfights and will overall be much more useful unless you lose early game very hard. Focus on trading defensively and keeping the wave on your side. Don't give him room to run you down and you should be all good.”
n1n3Liv3s says “Play smart with your fear, don't fight without it
Windwall stops your E as well.. I learned that the hardway. Just wait for its cooldown”
Zeekar says “Another champ that has to get in melee range to get value. Pay attention to how aggressively he plays, and if he is good. A good yasuo can ruin your day, but a bad yasuo is an easy target, and will typically make his trading patterns very obvious. ”
Chuleex says “Yasuo isnt as self reliant as yone but on lane he is as great of a bully as his older brother, play with your wave, yasuo loves to move between minions so if you trade against him in middle of lane you wont win, his w is also another strong counter to your damage and his passive makes him quite tanky + his sustain, look to all in once he pushes, has no w, or once you get ecplise, still he is stronger on the long trade so you should do small trades with w back, remember to do this only if he has no wave of yours to play with, overall a skill matchup without minions is easier to deal with. onzed usually goes dshield and waits for his powerspkies or any mistake the yasuo player can make, play with waves and patience.”
zolamalo says “Poke him with your E while keeping your distance, and try to bait out his Wind Wall before committing to damage. Focus on wave management to deny him farm and avoid extended trades where his passive shield and mobility give him an advantage.”
ShokLoL says “Vs Yasuo take grasp + boneplating, if you are relatively even in lane you are winning super hard. Play mainly for Q poke as E poke probably isn't worth it for the mana early since his sustain is so high. Try avoid isolated”
ShokLoL says “Yasuo will bully a lot early but you mega outscale him in teamfights. Keep the wave frozen on your side and just try trade defensively + farm. Take grasp and rush steelcaps. As long as he doesn't snowball either in lane or on the sidelane you will just win for free. Be careful because he can windwall your ult.”

Tips Against Yasuo in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
forsakn says “Can be major if the Yasuo knows how to space properly.
Levels 1–5: Yasuo’s early trades with Q (Steel Tempest) + autos can be oppressive, especially with his E (Sweeping Blade) mobility. Avoid overcommitting—he can dash through minions and knock you up.
Wave control: Let him push. Freeze near tower to reduce all-in threat and stay safe.
Trading: Short trades with Auto + E poke work best. If he tries to all-in with Q + R combo, kite backwards and use Q + W to poke from range.
Post-6: His R (Last Breath) can turn trades instantly if he combos with a knock-up. Maintain spacing and avoid extended fights.
Summoner Spells: Flash + Teleport is standard. Ignite can help if he dives aggressively.
Scaling: You outscale Yasuo mid-late game. Once you hit level 11 with core items, your sustained damage and kiting surpass his early mobility and burst.
Yasuo top hits hard early with mobility and knock-ups. Respect his E + R, stay patient, and by midgame your range and consistent damage put you in control.”
Hoikatop says “Easier version of Yone. Poke his passive shield off with an auto or poison before you fling him. Your W stops him from using E or ult. you can fling him as he knocks you up with e+q to stop him from ulting. He can beat you during all-ins because of lethal tempo, but come online faster than he does since he has expensive items and needs a lot of gold. TBH singed kind of counters yasuo in 5v5 as well, but he can block your W with his windwall. You can fling him off of your backline, and just shit on him with poison + kiting. However, yasuo does scale like a demon and can always turn a fight with the right characters getting knocked up, so never get complacent even though this should be in your favor. I rush Liandry's.”
bricee says “your q doesn't block his q and he has a wall, play far away from your creeps and force him to windwall if so you can run him down while dodging his q ”
Volkeran says “His early is bad against Fiora. You can W his 3.Q or just reduce his ATK speed which also gives him a longer Q CD. His Windwall can only block your W, besides of that, if he dashes through minions, you can just constantly Q on him, so he has no escape tool against you. You have a stronger eraly dmg than him, so focus on that to get ahead and run him down once he enters the lane. I advise Press The Attack + DBlade start.”
TTVTobuwuyas says “Harder than Yone, but not too much. Secure your W with E and W combo. Early levels can get tricky with LT on him. After 6 u demolish him”
Geish123 says “respect yasuo , dangerous champ. start W level 1 and play for prio. and if he tries to all in just fight him and you will win
get level 2 and look for EW, and fight him always outside minions
look for E stun always thats your angle
- you can ult on the animation of his Q3 ”
Mzrr says “
Se o jogador de Yasuo for habilidoso, a lane pode se tornar bastante desafiadora. No entanto, se ele utilizar o W de forma precipitada, é possível vencer as trocas ao se aproximar. Evite ser atingido por Qs de forma gratuita durante a fase de rotas. Seu campeão tem uma progressão de escala superior, então mantenha a calma e jogue com paciência.”
xXSaWiAcZXx says “He's no real threat for you early and late game, he might try to kill you lvl 1 unless he'll play safe and not fight you lvl 1, if he doesn't play aggressive, go E, if he plays aggressive, go W. PTA/HOB recommended.”
xkukx158 says “pretty easy. squishy, no healing. if he pushes and your low, heal back. watch out for his W to not waste ur Q.
=usefull passive if he messes up=
=easy dives=”
CodiFly says “A very difficult matchup. Yasuo can easily jump on Teemo with his E, he generally wins a stat checks and Blind is not reliable - it may get blocked by Wind Wall, or just get ignored by Yasuo's Q damage.”
SStoqnS14 says “Conq/Hob/electrocute/grasp skill matchup easy with form dont let him dodge your w and watch out for his lethal tempo ( if he has it.) dont fight in waves.”
Deddy says “Jax countera abbastanza Yasuo. La nostra E para perfino la sua Q [[Steel Temptest]] (come con la Q di Yone).
Lo battiamo 1v1 in ogni stage del game, l'unico modo di perderlo è farci outplayare (cosa che è possibile, visto il suo kit) scattando con la sua E [[Sweeping Blade]] attraverso i minion, baitando la nostra E e logorandoci con Q sfruttando il suo range aggiuntivo. Prima di fare un trade lungo, cerchiamo di poppargli il suo scudo della passiva [[Way of the wanderer]] con un auto, e se ce l'ha, anche [[Boneplating]], perchè con entrambi potrebbe parare veramente un sacco di danni, vincendo il trade.
Rune: Grasp
Item: DBlade”
kayle1v9 says “ You can stand inside of his Windwall and you will be able to hit him. Try to avoid fighting in waves since he can use it very well with his E”
brunaisse99 says “Too many dashes, not to mention his windwall, however, or R goes through it, I usually start my All-ins with my R.
Save your E for when he has his knock-up.”
Loocalol says “Runes: Phase rush/Grasp
Early: just start E and look for manaflow/cs. Play aggro after first reset.
Tips: Prep W, go melee range, full combo him, walk out. Do this 2-3 times and he's dead. ”
liucan says “Unlike his brother, he has nothing to do to u. Use E or W to dodge Q and dont get ult, u stat check him and more if u go ext ignite. make him regret playing this. Beware of his E to dodge yours.”
Coke Rat says “Flash + TP. Conqueror. Sudden Impact. Doran's Blade.
Play after lvl 4 with your wave bounce. Q-poke to get rid of his passsive. Dash around him to make it hard to auto attack and hit Q.”
Dom1nus says “he has kill pressure at lvl 1 and 2. At level 3 u can all in him, auto him to get his passive shield off and poke him at lvl 2 with e and q. At level 3 if he has 50% hp or less, auto him to wore off his passive and with empowered w kill him doing a full trade plus ignite, After the first kill the lane is free.”
FromKarlinc says “YASUO AND TOPLANE EARLY AGGRESSION CHAMPIONS LIKE PANTHEON/IRELIA/YONE. COULD GO SUMMON AERY AND SCORCH TO MATCH AGGRESSION OR ATTEMPT TO SURVIVE WITH PHASE RUSH IF YOU ARE THE LORD AND MASTER.”
a_k_z7 says “side step his q and q3
you can easily w his e for a good trade and try to e after a w stun for a better trade
bait your auto passive anamtion so he uses w and trade the passive after that
antiheal is good if he goes BORK
frozen heart later in the game can help your team aginst him”
Nithril says “This champion is stupid, we all know it, proc his passive when possible, stay on bushes or riverside and not atop minions so he either choses to Q you or the minionwave, W often against ganks, his Q3 cancels your E and he kills you, if he has no W punish him.”
Houcs says “This champion will most likely dash into while you being near your tower. So just drag him to it whenever that happens.
Note that his windwalls cancells your Q and W.”
parker3n9 says “The early game can be a bit rough, but the matchup shifts in your favor starting at Level 5. A key advantage is that your Q goes through Wind Wall, and most Yasuo players don’t realize this. However, your E does not, so time it carefully. If he engages with his R, you should immediately use your ultimate to counter. Additionally, if he runs out of minions and uses Wind Wall, you can chase him down and secure a favorable trade or kill.
Recommended Runes: Aery
Summoner Spells: Flash and Teleport”
Raideru says “This matchup is all about short trading him with your passive and abusing the fact u are just simply a better champ than him in all stages of the game just remember to not all in him too hard since LT is strong on Yasuo so keep that in mind. after 1 or 2 resets if you didn't int you should perma win trades. I advise Conqueror with Trinity rush.”
UrPersonalGod says “Really not as hard as some people claim it is.
He has a lot of movement but its kinda expectable because once he pressed E on a minion there is a small time window where you exactly know where he lands so you can predict Q him.
His W blocks yours so your best chance to hit its is immediately after you hit a Q knock up.”
tictac9090 says “The only time he can actually contest farm is level 1-2, make sure sure his Q doesn't hit you. There isn't really a lot to say about this matchup, you hard win at any point of the game.”
Skaarlschloch says “Need to go aggro Dblade Ignite early stuff then you can beat him
W Start
Conq with POM, Cookies Jack of All Trades Runes
Rushing Steelcaps giving you 5 Jack stacks
Serpents is an option if theres another target
Usually pref Crit Eclipse build over Bruiser as he gets Bork ”
ABL Pantheon says “TOP/MID: Same as Yone, one of your easiest, You stat-check him you can run him down level 1 with Ignite. Use Q to destroy his passive shield then engage with W. E his Ultimate and remember that he can cancel your thrown Q with his Windwall.”
SemenDrinker says “Bone plating Shield or blade is fine.
Poke him level 1 if he starts Q, he will beat you in prio likely and Yasuo level 2 is actually pretty deadly to deal with as he will use your minions to perma dash around. You can try to predict with q but that can be a bit difficult. Fighting a yasuo when your minion wave is pretty hard so just try to slowly poke him down while hes slow pushing to you. Level 6 also gets quite difficult as his ult gives his critical strikes armor pen. Get plated first and never be too overextended in the lane. ”
IvanBeifong says “Pretty fun matchup, although if the Yasuo knows how to play him, it'll be hell, you can dodge his E+Q3 if you time it good enough with your E, and also, you can E2 at him, steal his ult, and in the middle of the jouney you can press R again to Yasuo ult him.
your best bet is to kill him when he has low AA.”
Niemi says “This is the average Yasuo player who doesn't realize your AAs can go through his windwall.
But if you face someone who is dashing all the time, yet somehow poking you, he will be a couple tiesr higher. Just be mindful not to waste your hooks on his wall”
Frankoloko says “Extremely easy if you survive early and follow the right build. Take TP because you will lose early and need to back for HP. Build Randiun's Omen first then Rylai Second. After your Blasting Rod he never wins a fight anymore.”
Zagreus16 says “yasuo you can deal with but only if you can lock him down with your E and W combo so the true dmg lands. maxing q is good for the short trades with him then going all in after his passive shield is down”
step1v9 says “Yasuo generally wins this matchup at levels 1-3, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't touch the wave at all. Try to tether (move in and out of the range) his Q and look for autos while his Q is on CD. If you can't auto him auto the wave. If his passive is up ALWAYS E away to avoid it soaking up damage. Once you're both 6, look to all-in when he doesn't have access to a minion wave. It's better to fight him under his tower even than fight him in a minion wave.”
YuletideGlory says “In the early levels, Yasuo isn't really a threat since anytime he wants to fight you can out-combo him, but you will never manage to start a fight on your own thanks to his practically infinite dashes, it will be almost impossible to land a stun E.
After he builds a couple items, Yasuo is very dangerous, try not to fight him unless you have help.”
Raideru says “Very easy matchup, zone him lvl 1 with Q or W, short trade him till he gets low enough to be all inned, remember to use your e to guarantee your q cause he can dodge it by dashing into you”
Haxorr says “Yasuo is a pretty easy matchup. Bring DBlade + Grasp and you should win at all stages of the game unless you really misplay. Rushing Trinity is best against Yasuo. You can get prio if you hit wave early but if he has his passive shield + bone plating it's really hard to trade on Yasuo, so it may be worth giving prio. Fighting Yasuo in his wave is good because he can't E to minions, so qing on him when he's trying to crash a wave is very strong.”
DuckQc says “You don't really need to do anything as most yasuo's outplay themself when fighting you. Trade with him pre-6 and then run him down with your r. Remember he needs to hit his knockup to ult, so if you all-in him he can't ult. Build: Hexplate/Rav > Shojin/Stride”
Arthapsic says “Level 1 he destroys you hard so don't fight him. Start Q and last hit the first 3 minions if he doesn't push at all. Try to tank 1 autoattack in a way where he tanks the wave so he pushes the wave. His level 2 is his strongest point and it's very scary so make sure you don't push into him early as he will run you down with e and kill you easily. You can win post level 6 but you have to outplay him and it's pretty hard so I suggest just chilling if possible. Your opportunity to kill him is if his shield is down ( you break it before then wait for cooldowns then try to kill ) and if you don't R into his windwall ( it's really easy for him to do this tho since it's easy to react with windwall to gwen R so don't rely on it). You would also have to dodge his nado to win as well. Can win on first item but you have to outplay him ( as said before ). He is a hard 1v1 through all of the game but you outshine him in teamfights so use it to your advantage”
Beeware says “Back away whenever he has Q3 ready. Watch your minion waves - he can dash to them if they're approaching when you run. His wall can eat your R as well. ”
TeiWasTaken says “Yasuo is not a hard matchup. Proc his passive before engaging him by using your Q. Make sure to bait out his W before getting dismounted so your pellets can hit him. Mark him with you E so he does not escape with his dashes.”
ArmedDad says “due to his skill expression it can be complicated but now especialy without LT, he is pretty easy.
Remember:
- proc his passive shiel with w before fighting
- his e is free dashes with minions areound, he can and will dodge your e
- he spikes infintly harder than you with the two item 100 crit and his extended duels are better even with 1 item.
he also does not even have his w wall to use in this matchup <3”
Shark of Void says “Take Phase Rush and Ignite.
He can use W to evade your skills. Use your abilities during his E to trade freely. Just one shot him!”
Belle19 says “ALWAYS E MAX
basically yone with more sticking power. Rush a randuins third. When yasuo top is actually meta it's kind of a problem, he IS good at zoning and it takes a while for you to outscale the 1v1 but generally yasuo top is piss weak. I'll put it at a difficulty of 3 but realistically its usually either a 1 or a 4 depending on if the champ is playable top”
Skaarlschloch says “Very Mobile and Hard to Space, also can block e and ult with Windwall. Might wanna consider Tank vs this Matchup if its a good Tank Game”
Ulsur says “He's pretty easy to beat but just don't fight him in your minion wave, be patient and he'll walk to you, try to predict his E when he walks up to all in you, so hit your Q1, auto attack and hold for a second and then hit your Q2 behind you without dashing, he'll most probably dash and move into your Q2, then hit your Q3 + E on him easily, your W is pretty much useless if your minions are around, so just play back but you hard win, he scales decently but you can still beat him, if he has a Diana or something on his team and you're getting babysitted then gg lol.”
PinkBlood says “Yasuo is quite scary level 1 with his q stacks and lethal tempo but after sheen you usually end up winning and outscaling. Just make sure to not q into his windwall when trying to hit the barrel and just auto attack it. ”
procatking says “Conqueror, ignite,D blade, take rune NO.2.
*Favorable for pantheon*
THE FIRST WINDI BOY.
remove his passive shield before engaging, you're stronger then him but respect his DMG and Q3.
you can freely all-in him if u poke him to half health with your Q.
u can stun him right before he
E-Q3 u so he wont plip u up and after level 6 his ult will almost always spawn him behind your back so Aegis Assault(E) it if u can react to it.
(he can bait your E this way so Pay attention).”
conqiyana says “same as yone - matchup isnt too hard because you can dodge his q3 with your w,
he will win every trade though so just poke to stay around even health”
MaesePerez says “Aside from lvl 1 you win this matchup pretty easily, he can't kill you after you buy frozen heart. Watch out for his early q damage with lethal tempo and ignite, and you should be fine. Also, its a weird matchup since whoever has more enemy minions typically wins, since your AOE spells will kill them allowing you to heal from passive, and will allow him to have more dashes to dodge your q.”
AilZar says “Impossible. Perma ban. Dodge. Give up. W counters your entire kit, passive counters poke, dash counters skillshots, good scaling, no. Just no.”
Sugenrift says “The Flush (Yasuo): Yasuo with his wind wall can negate Twisted Fate's wild cards and has the mobility to dash through minions and close the gap, representing a flush. Playing against Yasuo requires patience and clever maneuvering to bait out his wind wall before committing to an engagement.”
forlid says “Yasuo's laning phase is entirely dependant on his ability to use E. He is quite difficult for Aatrox to reliably hit because he can just dash around so try to fight him when there's no minions around. His windwall can block your W so beware of that. Tabis are extremely useful here because all of his damage apart from his E and R are counted as auto attacks.”
zwartebliksem says “With the removal of Lethal Tempo, Yasuo is a much easier matchup. However, you cannot underestimate his damage. He is rather weak early if you manage to sidestep his Q's. If you dodge them, you should be able to win lv1. If not, you will most likely lose to his CC.”
AWierdShoe says “Yasuo has a ton of mobility when you minion wave is present. He can dodge out your skillshots like Irelia can and get you low with Qs+Lethal Tempo. Go for Q poke level 1, but play it safe in the next early levels (level 2). Try to Q to the minions where you'll think he will E onto. Sidestep his Q3 projectiles. The best position you can be versus Yasuo is freezing the wave near your tower as this dissuades him from aggressively E-ing towards you or else he takes tower shots. Play patiently, and don't go for extended trades until his passive shield is down. Tabi rush is very good in this matchup. ”
Haearnbleidd says “You negate his r, you stat check him, the only way he could win is by playing it pixel perfect kiting you. Even then if you have R you just kill him.”
MYCATRENGAR says “Fleet
This can go bad if you walk in a straight line.
When you leap, be ready to move to the sides as you return to the bush. Avoid trading on his 3rd Q
”
Akuzai says “Hard to 1v1 early and snowballs a lot. Rush boots and try not to get all your ults windwalled. Respect his level 2 spike. and general mobility. ”
PPlongcook says “Dodge his tornado with E. He is basically a walking bag of gold if he is even remotely behind. Only reason this isn't 1 is because a good Yasuo will always have the possibility of outplaying you. In case of a good Yasuo, don't go in unless you have E and R up, and you hit him with R. Don't get baited by his 0/10 powerspike, and remember that he can block your ult with windwall.”
lolkayleee says “[Conqueror/Grasp + Trinity]
[Ignite/Flash + TP]
Start W. Don't trade lvl 1 or 2. Level 3 just W him to remove the shield and hookshot onto him. You can R his tornado to prevent him from ulting you. Take short trades. Lethal Tempo is op in Season 12.”
hoflol says “Yasuo requires minions in lane to be effective. As a Singed, you will be killing minions by default when fighting/proxying.
Matchup can be hard late game as he will have so much damage, but up to level 11 you should be able to win every 1v1 with ult.”
GheeseEmpty says “Not a very good matchup for you. Yasuo can match both your speed and all in power early game, which makes him hard to play against. He also outscales you. Look to outvalue him in teamfights with Phoenix, or burst him in sidelanes with Bear. Just keep in mind that playing against him is a time trial against your favor. Consider buying Wardens Mail or Plated Steelcaps early.”
NegativePhoenix says “Yasuo in my opinion is harder to fight than Yone mainly because of his dashing and the fact his ult ignores 60% of your armor
You'll meet two kinds of Yasuo players toplane: The one who dashes on every minion TRYING to intimidate you with a Q3 dash out, or the one who only dashes for a quick Q3-auto-E escape trade. The second one is who you should be concerned about.
Remember to ping when he's gone if he can't get kills on you because he'll want kills off roams if that's the case.
Once you get 1 chain/bramble, 2 chains or 1 chain/1 warden and steelcaps with any of those he won't do damage”
X_TRM says “(Start E/W) He can mitigate most of your damage with his passive shield. Always try to E him if he get's to cocky and dashes around too much. Your Ult cancels his Q3 tornado. Randuins Omen Shuts him down for a bit before he get's more items. Stride - Clever - Shojin - Overlords - Steraks/Hullbreaker”
LilliaFanBoy says “Same as Yone but Yasuo can more often jump on you.
Play a little more safe and poke him down slowly.
Try and stay around your side of the lane in case he tries to run you down.”
WhendZ says “Baita a parede de vento e não bate parado. se você tiver reflexo o suficiente, ele não consegue te ultar se você usar a laranja rápido o suficiente. recomendo buildar Frozen Hearth.”
LegacyOneTap says “yasuo just, doesn't exist in this lane but, you can still lose if he knows his limits with wave mechanics. without wave and you fight him on correct timer he loses 100% of the time as long as you're even in gold. In lane, just kind of follow him with e early level 1 and he dies. I'd say to deal with his funny minion dash for bonus time or to run away, you can follow him and save your jump and counterstrike when its a good timing. This lane can end up horrible if you aren't careful about his movement ability. most of the time though when you get used to it, he dies and goes 0/10 usually. lethal tempo dps items plus 2 tanky items he dies everytime. if it reaches late be smarter about optimization and kiting him and dodging his tornados as often as possible.”
JPGamer10BR says “Yasuo é mais difícil que yone, tome cuidado no level 1, caso ele upe o E, você precisa ter cuidado pois ele pode só surfar pra cima de você e te bater até stackar o Ritmo Fatal, cuidado com o W dele, recomendo esperar ele gastar a barreira para aí sim cegar ele.
Pode usar, Aery, F.F ou PTA (Não recomendo Grasp).”
The Saucy Saurus says “Rush thornmail. When you have it he can't do anything to you unless he is gigafed. Block his engage/escape with W. Beware his passive when both at low hp.”
BurritoTopKing says “Similar to yone but even easier imo, just be careful the first levels as he has lethal tempo (you can match it if you feel like it)”
WarwicksSimp says “Yasuo is difficult due to his mobility and damge but as soon as you get tiamat you can win this match pretty often as it helps vs his passive if hes near minions to q you. Exhaust is optimal here. Most difficult part about this matchup is hes super easy for his jungle to gank you so being camped by enemy jg is usually gg. Make sure to bully him and use wave management to your advantage. REMEMBER TO Q OR R WHEN HE Q3'S TO CANCEL THE KNOCKUP!!! VERY IMPORTANT YOU CAN Q THROUGH MINIONS TO HELP THIS TOO.”
RivenCarriedYou says “literally Yone matchup. but 10x easier. He can't run away from you when you stun him on top of you. you can take any trade you like. just fucking demolish him. ravenous hydra really fucks him especially if he walks up to a minion. you can take your minion and proc his shield”
Chaddouk says “Pretty similar to Yone. Can win off an all in level 1, depending who gets to stack lethal tempo first, so who facechecks loses. Like Yone, bait him to Q by faking going for CS and then go. Yasuo is easier for trynd than Yone, you just have to be aware that he is 10x stronger when he has an enemy wave to play with, kind of like irelia. Other than that not much to say, track his summs timers (he might go ignite or exhaust), dodge Q's when possible, kick his ass.”
BaotoGame says “Like his brother.Very obnoxious because he can E around like a rat and dodge your skills. Play safe or aggressive, doesn't matter, just try Q'ing a lot if he tries to do anything spicy.”
daitolol says “TOP/MID
- Early levels he is stronger then you but after 6 the matchup becomes akali favored
- when he goes for e on the minions to gap you can use E to get a free hit(unless windwalled) Always wait out the shield after using Q/E before going back with passive/e2
-You can usually stand in the windwall to get your Q to hit or just positiong yourself better, it is very inconsistent hitbox
”
_WhiteSnow_ says “You can cancel his e if he ever tries to dash through you and you can chunk him very easily with your short combos. just don't get full committed on in a long fight as you can't out dps his lethal tempo.”
Nurakami says “SKILL
Remember that his w blocks your q3
His early lvls are strobger than yours due his passive.
Don't cast your r until you hit q3
When he r you and you r right on time you can leave him behind you will take dmg but he will too and you can wait until passive from his r runs out.
Super snowbally match up.”
Quinnculated says “Сложность зависит от личных навыков и линии. На миду 1-2, на топлейне 3. Доджить ветерки и давать е на е. Держать в голове количество рывков”
BezMemow says “Buy steelcaps, go rylai, it's pretty easy early to midgame, late game he beats you but by that time you don't need to 1v1 him.
Start D Ring”
Antecc says “You beat him level 1.
You beat him level 2.
You beat him level 3.
You beat him level 6. So on and so forth. :) Only tips to give is that
you should hold Q for when he dashes away in an attempt to avoid your E and that you can dodge yasuo & yone's Q1, Q2 and Q3 with E.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “ You outscale him but you need to be carefull early on beacuse if he sticks to you lethal tempo will fuck you hard. Sit on the barrel and poke him, but dont Q him if you know he will recharge his passive before another poke. You can W his ult, he still deals dmg and gets his armor shred but you are not cced. Very squishy”
lordimboutabust says “Try not to fight in minion wave. Q behind you whem he E's through you and shouldnt be too much trouble. He outscales at zerks and 1 item so be careful | second wind | Dblade - tank mythic”
Bernardian says “Shit brother #1. Very easy, you do not win lvl 1 if he has ignite and lethal, look for lvl 2/3, once you get abilities straight up run him down auto w, save your e for the q+e combo because he can dash into your q,rush ninja tabis same as tryndamere, yasuo has no defensive stats early on but because of lethal tempo he has the dps to trade with you so tabis is a very huge buy against him”
FaNTOP says “Сложный поединок по скиллам, играйте вокруг стен и следите за перезарядкой его стены ветра. Максимизируйте использование своей "w", так как она наносит наибольший урон, а все равно вы не попадете по Ясуо с помощью "q", поэтому становитесь у стен для своей E.”
Herbietron says “The classic Gnar counter. He can cancel your boomerang with Windwall and can easily get on top of you. However, with the state he is in ATM your ult directly counters him and unless he is ahead you will be more useful. Rush Tabis.”
PeanutTime36 says “dodge tornado and only jump away if he uses e on YOU not a minion next to you. poke with Q, all in is easy if you hit stuns and you aren't in any wave.”
TheGBabaYaga says “He can outscale you very easy until you get bramble vest, then all goes back in history, with the runes i use you can go easy 1v1 and fight him and use R only if its nessesary somehow”
demirkaiser says “Don't fight until level 3. Dodge his tornado. He can dodge your Q and E with minions so be careful. Post 6 is easy as long as you dodge his tornado. Rush Warden's Mail.”
UmbreonQueen says “Easy lane as long as you don't underestimate him. Get rid of his shield with your Q whenever he tries to farm and proceed to harass him until you get a lead. Be mindful of your wave or he'll be hard to catch and will turn the fight around with a good knockup”
Althalosofsirun says “lvl 1 he will always beat you, you can kill him lvl 3 cause you will have one more ability that him if he starts winning buy goredrinker and punish his E by all ining when he shoves with it.”
LocaLAM says “You can block his only form of CC, and it's pretty easy to dodge anyways. Remember to proc his passive with your E, not your Q, and you'll destroy him.”
Black Demon Ezel says “No way to use wind wall effectively. All you gotta do is annoy the hell outta him and you eat him at like half health. Just keep him cc'd so he don't heal nearly as much and you're golden”
stefanko says “Probably the best Jax matchup in the whole game, dont get spaced by Yasuo q level 1, level 2 always start trades with your e, never q on yasuo, especially if he has minions he can use to dash through, cause then he can kite your e. Level 6 you hard win all ins. (lt or grasp, tp)”
Ulamog says “Conqueror Build; Second Win + D Blade.
Second Wind, since he can proc Bone Plating very easily.
Q+W into his Q3 is best way to outplay, BUT they can Wind Wall the parry. Note that Wind Wall has 30 seconds CD in early, that's more than your W.
You outscale him in late as long as you don't fall behind early.”
Galactities says “Just a skill matchup, if Yasuo is really good he can do some crazy korean shit and outplay, but generally you can kill him early on, widdle him down with Q's and then all in him, after 6 be cautious he gets a big power spike. Sidestep his Q's and tornados and you should be good. Plated steelcaps is needed.”
dzsama says “Very slippery once he has his E leveled. You can trade with him early but be mindful that he will dodge your E if you fight him in a minion wave. You can block his Q damage if his Q doesn't hit minions at the same time. After level 6 you should be able to outrade him with your Q + passive R proc. Steelcaps are good against him aswell.”
Akalimetall says “He can't splitpush or dodge your R so lane won't be a problem if you perma-bully him with aa's, but a good yasuo otp can still win lane against you. Be prepared!”
lorensj81 says “This is a skill matchup. Remember you have to proc his passive shield before going in on him with Q+AA+E+R. Do not fight him in your minion wave because he will dance around you with E and stack his Q into tornado.
After he has Shieldbow, remember that when going allin so you do not press R before it has been procced!”
Pep_Shin says “He is annoying on two points :
- He can Ninja dash out of your R by spamming his E in your minion wave.
- He can windwall your Q so you can't reset its cooldown.
But he isn't a real threat, he can't really knock you up and if he does and ult you, he roots himself because of his animation.
You statcheck and crush him”
Irelius says “Скилл мачап в пользу Ирелии. Костяная пластина имба. НЕ ДЕРИТЕСЬ НА ЛВЛ 1. Не получаыте его куханы бесплатно. Если он дерётся за прио, отдавайте ему. Никогда не влетает в олл-ин, предварительно не выбив из него стенку. Механизм таков — жмем E, байтим стенку. Ждём откат E 16 секунд), итого у нас 14 секунд для влета. Жмем W на его Q3+EQ+R. Вы сильнее с лвл 2 и после ботрака. На двух предметах он аутскейлит. Мачап надо сноуболить”
Puyi says “Slightly harder than his brother Yone, but still a minor threat. The only time he should be able to tornado you is with an EQ on top of you, which you should still be able to avoid with W most of the time. Watch out for an early all in with lethal tempo. Get early steelcaps.”
Irelius says “Irelia favored skill matchup. Bone plating is a must. Dont fight him at lvl 1. Dont eat Qs for free. If he fights for prio–give it to him. Never all-in him without baiting W first. Your engage tool (E) is 16 seconds cooldown, his windwall–30
W his Q3+R.
He outscales you if matchup goes even.”
JustSad42 says “This is a very skill-based matchup if you fight inside of a wave. However, if you fight outside of a wave, Fiora will always beat Yasuo if there is no significant gold gap. Steelcaps has huge value in this matchup. Yasuo W can block Fiora W. If you see Yasuo E into you using a minion, or he just Es on you, then you can Q into the Yasuo and you will dodge his E-Q (This is especially useful for dodging knockup when he has empowered 3rd Q). You always want to proc Yasuo shield before the fight starts, and you want to avoid fighting yasuo when your minions are alive. The fights are winnable, but you want to, as much as possible, only take the fights that are sided for you or are very consistent. You outscale Yasuo, but inside of a wave, if you misplay or he plays the fights extremely well, he always has the potential to win the fight, so take fights inside of a wave at your own risk. Don’t bother getting Grievous Wounds against him since buying your core items as quick as possible will provide you with more value. Only get a Grievous Wound item after completing your first item.”
Azekar says “Conqueror+Bone Plating.
Start Doran Blade.
Ghost+Teleport.
Yone's stronger brother. His W can block all your R stacks, so watch out for that. Highly mobile character with good 1v1 potential. Don't get hit with his double Q and try to play further than your minions so he doesn't get close to you with his E. ”
Night Guy says “He isn't a threat but is annoying to play against. At first he will dash all around but when you start landing your Q's and slow him down to auto him then try to push him away from the wave with your W and just keep fighting him. After 6 he is rendered useless you have higher damage and can fight him head on, if he tries to ulti you use W and just proceed to destroy him. At early bully him a lot from level 1.”
SrMolinv says “Yone can do something against Riven. Yasuo can do something for only 6 levels. At level 6 is not even funny for him. Dont all in level 1-2. Start trading level 3 and from 6 onwards make sure he doesnt block your R with his W. RIP Yasuo bro.”
TwTvRANGERZX says “Avoid his Q poke. Avoid fighting inside minion waves, as he gets lots of power from being able to kite you with his dash. Hitting W very important.”
LeyzeHP says “Fleet/Conqueror
Eclipse
First 2 levels you can't say anything to him, sit back and take exp. After some levels you start to be actually good against him but he can outplay Rengar. He has high waveclear and can permapush wave so that you are not allowed to get in bushes.”
Smudey says “You win short trades very hard so try to abuse him early. Don't go for long trades due to Lethal Tempo. If you get him low with your short trades, you can taunt in and kill him. Try to bait and punish his Qs if he misses them. However, he can always dash through your minions so make sure he has no escape route. His Wind Wall blocks your Q blade, making you unable to get empowered Qs or W block so watch out for that.”
Fizzy says “It's very annoying against yasuo because Fiora's W is considered a projectile... Always try to trade with him when he spends his W on you, avoid trades where he uses the rune for a long time dealing a lot of damage to you.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “easy, poke him to get his passive off, place barrel underneath you and he cant do shit, remember to auto not q the barrel if he has windwall. You can W his ult (not damage but cc its very helpful)”
HightLoL says “care lvl 1-2, then good
do short trades since most yasuo go lethal tempo. use e q combo to guarantee q to hit b/c hes mobile.
dmg item components good early, wardens mail good if behind, go bramble after he gets shieldbow.”
hamgi says “the brother match up is no different than it is mid lane, altho as top laners typically play weak side and he cant roam to bot lane to pick up free kills, its more skill based than ever. yasuo is considered a counter to yone bc he can w yone's q3, but yone can e his q3. both go on relatively long cd's, but the best part is yone does not have to meet any criteria to r, as well as getting in 1-2 hits after the ult with greater atk spd bc of prolonged cc. at least for top lane, yasuo beats yone early game while yone beats yasuo late game, and this is primarily bc of wave control. it is a lot easier to control ur wave in the top lane than it is in mid lane, where volatile champs, like yasuo, primarily want to shove and roam or bully their laner. yasuo's main kit revolves around enemy units, so the best u could do against yasuo is early freezing and trading him if he gets greedy for cs. dont try to bully him under tower unless hes low as he has ur minions to make plays on u with. try not to use ur e to dodge his q3 as that is ur primary engage of getting on top of him to avoid his w. as long as u keep an eye on him, unless he e+q3's onto u or his teammates have means of airborning u, u will never get r'd. play smart and be the better brother”
Nexon22412 says “Too much dashes his position gets out of control really quickly, not to mention if you all-in him with mega he can just press W to counter your Q”
SanyGame says “I permoban Yasuo when I play mid.
First, keep in mind that you shouldn't try to kill him that hard. Your best situation is when you go even.
Try to position your turrets in a triangle, but keep them far apart so he can't dash from turret to turret straight at you. It's the same situation as with Irelia.
When he engages in your turrets, run away from him and don't cast [E] before he uses his windwall.
When he's not trying to engage you or just farming CS, poke and harass him, he's a melee champion after all.
Bad Yasuo players are pretty easy to play against, but if you face a good Yasuo, you're doomed.”
JustCallMeVox says “Azir completely dominates Yasuo since his windfall is absolutely useless. He has to all in you to deal damage, so when his Q3 is ready, have a sand soldier prepared for escape.”
TwTv EUWXYZ says “watch out lvl 1 lethal tempo ignite could get u killed, otherwise this matchup is the free'st matchup. keep ur E till he throws nado cast E before he throws nado so u cast it before u knocked up other then that thats about it dont R into the windshield R passive thing yeah and if u E when ure knocked up he cant R since he is pulled as well”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Be cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his Sweeping Blade(E) to dash through the minion wave to get on to you. Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times. Try to keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map early on. This will reduce his ability to play aggressive and look for an all-in. Good times to use CC abilities or to trade with Yasuo is when he is overextended after using his E. You could use his poor positioning to go for a favourable trade to get him low.”

kajinator says “Phase Rush and Flash + Ignite to catch up to him with dashes. Disable his shield and just kill him with ignite. Don't fight him levels 1 and 2, from 3 onward you should be fine to bully him.”
BreadyToCrumble says “You'll outscale Yasuo, but he's a pretty tough threat in the early levels. What I like to do is use my ult and walk into his tornado if I know he's going to follow up on it, and he should be a free kill. You'll start to win once you get Nashor's Tooth.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Watch your own minions since Yasuo can use them to get close to your champion. If you are trying to run away from him then don’t go the way with your minions, better use some jungle paths. In the early game you can try to do short trades when his Q is not stacked.”
SrMolinv says “Yasuo gana del nivel 1-5. Aun asi se puede intentar ganarle en esos niveles pero a partir de nivel 6 este matchup es injugable para yasuo. All in con ulti y tirar la ulti antes de lo normal para evitar el muro de viento”

pura4 says “"[Aperto dos Mortos Vivos com Osso Revestido, Escudo de Doran, E > W] - Essa lane é bem fácil, se estiver confiante pode ir de incendiar e TP, faça pequenas trocas e espere a passiva do seu escudo ( 10seg) voltar, faça de primeiro item a bota de R$1100, em seguida brasa ou corta cura de R$800, com isso fica bem fácil matar o yasuo depois do lvl 6, apenas tente desviar de todos furacões dele "”

Zorroh says “Yasuo can be a tricky matchup mainly because of his E dash, which allows him to easily close the gap on Mini Gnar. He has a lot of burst and shields which makes trading with him as mini especially difficult. His W windwall is able to block and destroy Gnar's boomerang or boulder, leaving you with a high cooldown. This is another matchup where you will want to play safe as Mini, and take short trades. You can walk up to auto Q him when hes close since your auto range is higher than his Q, but just be cautious of him E-ing onto you. Armor boots are good to rush in this matchup and can help out with kiting away from Yasuo. Do not chase or take any extended trades as Mini. His Lethal Tempo and insane attack speed will make it easy for him to destroy your HP bar in extended fights. You can play aggressive in Mega. Yasuo is a fairly squishy champ that relies a lot on lifesteal and shielding, meaning if you hit your stuns on him, he won't be able to utilize his passive or healing, and you should just one shot him. If you miss one of your stuns though, try to disengage as fast as possible. ”

WelcomeToLosersQ says “play smart and you can win, stay out of attack range and proc Yasuo shield when it is up. Play around his wind wall and you should win lane. It is all about positioning though”
CosmicTurtle88 says “Yasuo constantly dashing around is annoying but as soon as you land a Q on him he'll die. Don't trade into minions level 1 as his Conqueror is strong and you'll be fine. If he's constantly
dashing through minions I'd recommend not throwing Q and just autoing him down while he tries to dodge something that isn't coming. If you need to you can R him at the same time he
starts his 3rd Q animation so he can't ult you too. ”
lenithebot says “Spam q and barrels in lane and if he gets too close use your passive he can't match your damage output and I suggest going ignite and trying to kill him early and you can also w his ultimate which is very useful although be careful of him late game since well he is yasuo late game.”
Farmer Cleetus says “Easy to beat in the early when you play Lethal Tempo, cause you both can go for the extended fight but you will clearly outdamage him as you are tankier than him and also have the strong side of early laning phase. You get outdamaged if you took Hail of Blades, as it's for short trades only and if he took lethal tempo, then he can abuse it on you and outfights you and then you made yourself a Major+ enemy. Also funny is getting in range with Galeforce on him.”
Maxpiku says “Скиловый матчап (польза у ясуо). Очень важно уклоняться от Q (а это довольно таки трудно) и уметь держать позицию. Если линия с ранних минут пошла по женской репродуктивной можно собрать комбо таби+рандуин (это не так плохо как кажется). P.S Его Q проходит через наше ослепление”
Taiquyorah says “Très bon duelist donc pas de trade long qui lui permettent de proc la léthal tempo.
Pas de sustain en early, fragile en early donc il faut prendre plusieurs petit trade.
Si GP rate son combo de baril, alors yasuo gagnera le trade hard.
En late game, yasuo peut se faire tuer si GP joue bien avec ses barils mais si Yasuo arrive au CAC, il peut tuer GP facilement.
Faites la différence en teamfight.”
BigDaddyPantheon says “Baby easy, don't even worry. Just Q when he has his shield up and W in at full stacks. If he tries to fight back just use your E.”
Yiphen says “Start Doran's shield and E. Do not try to buff steal. Bully him out of CS and try to kill with Ignite. Poke him and back away when he has tornado available. His shield helps him survive your poke. Freeze wave near tower. Do not dance.”
gekigami says “Yasuo atualmente é tambem uma das matchups mais difíceis pro gnar.
Ele consegue anular seu Q com sua parede de vento. fazendo que seu Q fique com o CD total (20 Sec).
A alta mobilidade dele em seus minions deixa ele livre pra anular você de farmar em paz.
Dica pra você é fazer tabi ninja e deixar ele puxar a wave.”
7EyesNoSkills says “People thinks windwall is a problem actually it isn't that big problem since you can stack your lethal tempo, you will hop maximum twice to dodge his windwall. Beware his Q3 due to airborne+ult, try to kill him as you can pre-6.”
Groovywelsh says “It all depends on the skill of the Yasuo it's like the irelia matchup if he is good, and kites you whit his E he kills you if not you kill him ”
WildSamu says “DBlade + Red Pot.
He's stronger early levels and can enagage or disegange as he wishes near the wave. Look to W his passive. Position well so you dont fight him in the wave. His windwall blocks your Q3 damage but not your dash, it also doesnt block your ult dash. Very skill dependent matchup, but I would say you have the advantage.”
VituVonDoom says “One of the windshitter bros, Yasuo is a very skill based matchip. Keep track on his W CD, take out his passive and Bone Plating with autos, and all in when he doesn't have both. Use regular Cannon Q's to create a habit of him windwalling that, so when you QE, it gets him off guard”
Michcio says “auto ur barrels cuz he can block your q with windwall. You can W his ult (dmg stil procs but you cancel cc) you outdamage him with your passive and barrels”
Aberrant Demon says “You can look to Q him level 1 if you dodge his Q. You typically want to start your trades with your E to proc his passive and Q him as he begins to E away. As long as you have hands and don't let the wave get stuck on his side, it's really straight forward. W any Q that you can't dodge and run him over. Yasuo really doesn't like to run away, he much prefers to chase because of his access to minions for his E. Post-6 you hard win as long as you respect his passive and it's unplayable for him after you get Stridebreaker.”
ColdStuff says “Yasuo has more agency than Karma in this lane as her CC is delayed and her burst is tied to an ability that can be blocked with Wind Wall. That being said, you have plenty of tricks to generate space for your team should he knock-up your team. ”
NegativePhoenix says “This is a case another case of "I'm gonna dash around if I feel in danger and you can't do anything about it until I engage". When he steps up for trades, try to Q him if you can as long as his Q3 isn't up or he has better trades. Bait out his passive shield before you fully commit or he will tank a good chunk of your damage. Level 6 he will definitely act much more aggro if you're at half health.”
Xarmat says “When he gets near, he will get dangerous. Stay at max AA range by moving all the time. As soon the waves crash into each other, place your traps at the melee minions to prevent his dash. Buy an Stormrazor as second item to stop his movement. Tip: Use Control Click and switch to target only champions. This will allow you to attack him while dashing around (no point and click miss).”
Ludwig RageQuit says “My personal perma ban in general, he can be stupidly annoying all lane and all in you every time in the game. If you dont ban him for an motive, pick fleet footwork and harass only for proc the rune (farm simulator lane)”
IcunoX says “Max E and play safe untill he gets inpatient, overagressive and does something stupid where you will punish him. Windwall is annoying but you can win playing around W and E.”
Potent213 says “Runes:
PTA
Goal in lane:
Bully him on level 3 and onwards.
Wave 1-4:
Play passive, look for Q poke, its usually hard to get prio in this matchup before level 3.
Tips:
Very similar to the yone matchup, look for poke, proc his shield and then look for an all in while dodging his Q's you don't want to be too pushed in, as he can get short trades and u cant run him down.
Look to parry his Q with a QW through the windwall if possible as they will often block your Q.
Care not to carelessly spam your Q as he can use the dash to dodge your Q and make you miss vitals.
Use the movespeed from vitals and ultimate to dodge his Q's.
Hold your Q to follow him when dashing as if you Q too early he can just kite you out too easily.
You win with short trades, Q AA E1 E2.
Pull in waves and look to all in him, tabis are a really good buy here.”
Scallywag says “Skill matchup.
Bad yasuo's are very easy to abuse and you easily win this matchup
Good yasuo's can dodge your barrels with his e and block your q with his w at the right time to win the trades.”
Black Demon Ezel says “His wind wall screws you over because it simply keeps you from marking him. He's also hyper strong if fed and even if not he has the famed 0/10 powerspike behind him as soon as he gets his immortal shieldbow mythic”
CreatedThisAccBecuzGotTil says “Same with yone avoid q2 u can win in just auto fights lvl 1 at late to mid game he starts to hurt but if u always avoid his q2 u will always win”
ShacoMagicTrick says “Well, your boxes give him free dashes, he has a Shieldbow and is very broken. But you can still outplay him in early. Make him int before his powerspike and you should be good to go. ”
SilverAvalanche says “Bully: Yasuo is more mobile than Yone and can windwall your abilities, but it is practically impossible for him to windwall your R E combo. but in general you can pretty much just kill him if he ever over extents but R'ing onto and W so you can Q him down and E when he has used his windwall.”
Trundledaddy says “just don't fight in minion wave,
abuse his early, stop being
scared of yasuo early, lategame can be annoying if ahead with 3 items cause of sustain (shieldbow, ie, DD)”
powerfullgeo says “He has to auto attack you making your minions attack him. Take advantage of that and if he tries to dash next or on you just press W to stop him. Don't throw your R2 on his W combo it with your cc.”
Federals1 says “Yasuo is a very easy matchup. His Windwall is useless and you can stop him from dashing with your q. The matchup becomes hard if you greed and dive randomly without ultimate or give him too many tornado hits. You can really get to beating him down fast if you also get speed to match his speed. Focus on building speed first, like Aether Wisp or tier 2 boots. Both q and w maxes work. Doran's Ring and Blade both work well into him.
Flash+Ignite are the preffered summoner spell choices. Second or third rune page should be used.”
TheDeadliestMacarena says “Destroy his 1-hit shield with 1 auto. Tilting a Yas player is an art-form. But he has more mobility than you. Watch out for his Tornado, especially at Level 6. Don't waste your abilities on his Windwall. Keep your mana until that wall & his shield goes away.”
Nekoparry says “///////////////////////////ENGLISH//////////////////////////
Take his shield out and try to poke him without getting hit by his Qs, you can parry his Tornado for a stun and then you should be able to kill him as long as you dodge his Qs. Take tabis + whip and you should be able to win. Bramble vest is also pretty good.”
Xpoxy says “He can windwall even after your Q lands, denying you from any cd resets.
Take: Footwork/Grasp
Build: Divine Sunderer/Stridebreaker (E spammer)”
desch3445 says “Yasuo matchup is pretty micro-intensive. You're gonna have to juggle dodging his tornados, keeping track of his W CD 'cause a good chunk of your damage is projectile based, procing his passive without overstepping, and god forbid the enemy jungler has a knockup.
For this matchup I'd reccomend Phase Rush due to his powerful sustained damage.”
ogilabadabahamdala says “he is a little bit harder than before because of lethal tempo. level 6 you destroy him. you have to destroy him early or you lost the game”
RYKKAI says “You can pop his passive using pellet spread on minions and dodge his eq3, bait out his windwall and the matchup becomes a lot easier (harder mid than top)”
Anothaoneforym6 says “Wind s*** and his brother are easy matchups regardless of what you do as long as you avoid them pre 6, dont push wave and win. E rush isn't that good on yasuo due to his passive, but its not terrible because you can hit him with 1 or 2 E's before its back up.”
MHLoppy says “Starting from level 1 until he has 2-3 completed items, the only way he can take you on is by abusing his mobility. In any other fight you simply deal more damage than him while being harder to kill. That means you just have to be mindful of where you throw your Q (so that he doesn't isolate you from it), while keeping an eye on your OWN minions and your own position so that you know where his possible dashes are.”
LimitlessHavoc says “Respect his level 1, he can hard win and poke you out of lane.
I usually start short trading from level 3 onwards.
Don't let him W or dash round to dodge your ult, you can stun him prior to using your ult to make sure it lands.
During 1v1s try to Q dance to make him miss his Qs.
Level 6 you can run him down with ignite as long as he doesn't have many of your minions to dash around with.”
Kocykek says “Yasuo is like Yone. You can go Bramble Vest and just eliminate him from the game. You can go anything and outdamage him anyway. You block his E.”
Helzky says “Yasuo can Q your ghouls and you all in one go. Don't walk up to the wave and play under tower. Bring Ignite or executioners if you're planning to solo kill him and also your W does nothing for you in this matchup.”
OliveeGarden says “ take conq + ignite. Just auto him he is significantly more mobile than his brother so don't go chasing him around, focus on dodging q knock ups and just save E for E + W ”
havy says “keep in mind he'll try to dash through the minion wave to gap close, just dodge his tornadoes and you'll be fine, just like yone, respect his item spikes (also his wind wall blocks your ult)”
Ujiyo says “Yasuo's windwall will make you feel super worthless in teamfights since you can't stack up. Just hold R until he uses it and you will be fine. (I think)”
Wawza says “Although not a common pick on top lane his mobility allows him to dodge your Q's with ease unless you reposition with E. Try to trade with him far from minions so he cant abuse his mobility. He always dashes behind his target so keep that in mind when positioning your Q's.”
ChowJunior says “More of a nuisance than anything. You should be able to punish for CSing and lock him down when he tries to spam his E. He won't be able to box you. Avoid getting punished too hard when going for minions.”
Mushroomuwu says “Can be pretty annoying as he can windwall your E and R, start E and be passive as he beats you hard early levels. Let him push you in and once you have passive stacked, try and get him with your E. If he doesn't windwall you crush him. Be careful though as he has better mobility than you in minions (he doesn't need to last hit them, just press E on them), if he kites you and spams Q on you, you will lose. Its better to fight him when he has minions and you don't assuming its not before you have cutlass, since you will heal a lot from the minions rather than get destroyed by them. You beat him as long as you hit either E or R on him even into much later levels but he will beat you if he gets to jump on you first since he can drop windwall right where you are and you won't be able to react. Always have passive stacked before fighting.”
SadgeBoyK says “dodge his Q's in lane, kill his minions and ground him when tries to dash through yours. you can goo him when tries to R so he can't ult.”
Your Desired Username says “Pretty easy match-up, poke and play safe until level 3, at which point you will start beating him, in all-ins that is. Rush tabis no matter what. He has his E to dodge your Q's, but he can only use this once in Brazil and missing one Q usually doesn't lose you the fight. Post-3 items he gets crazy strong and low-key beats you so don't ult him then unless you're ahead.”
boboderaffe says “This is skill dependent. A good yasuo can ruin your life, a bad one can block your E and mildly annoy you.
Don’t give him opportunities to dash out of your ult through your wave!
If he hits his 3rd Q past 6 you simply cast your W on top of yourself (make sure he can’t dash away with minions before the next step!) and spam ult. If he doesn’t already have 34% life steal he is going to die or flash away. If he tries to fight you within his wind wall, walk away. He can block your Q and E. Worst case, you gotta wait a while to be able to ult again. If you’re lucky, he’ll get greedy and step outside of it, opening himself up to be killed. ”
AlexFL7000 says “Usually you don't see Yasuo in top lane. This is due to the fact that he is squishy, just like you. He is only a threat because you cannot block his Q's damage. Just make sure that he cannot get on top of you and you should be fine. Recommended Items: Oblivion orb/Morellonomicon, Plated Steelcaps”
Rayli36 says “It's pretty easy matchup just try to engage when he threw his Q3(his hurricane) and then you can poke him until he's low enough to kill him also remember that his passive shield can decrease your R dmg
AD-dmg”
Belle19 says “if he walks into your auto range you can pretty much kill him. Make sure to q in a way that he cannot dash in or out of the sweet spot. If that isnt possible just e q without the auto. He does outscale you but it takes him way too long for it to make it a bad matchup. Set up a freeze. Dont fight in a way that he can dash through your minions as an escape. Rush wardens”
just pick yone says “Don't fight him lvl2. Fight him when his passive is down. (doesn't apply to late game). Also if you're close enough to him your Q3 can go through his W.”
At_Tar_Ras says “yasuo's level 1 is stronger than yours. do not level 1 fight this dude. he will windwall your stun/ult so either bait it out or trick him into missing it or catch him off-guard with a QE+E2 stun. it's a tough matchup due to good yasuo's guarnteeing at least one of your abilities getting deleted by his W. not to mention he spikes at zerkers already which is faster than your bork spike. really tough matchup, i need to play more versus it tbh”
LunaticDancer says “Gambler kinda viable, D Shield. Annoying lane, you want to really CS as good as possible. The best thing he has against you is his E, as he can effortlessly make himself impossible to hit and initiate the combo. If you do somehow hit the E, that's gonna hurt very bad.
Get anti-heal eventually.”
Captain Bane says “he will be able to fuck you over if you don't play it correctly, I would advise you to freeze the wave, wave manipulation against Yasuo is key, because he relies on the wave to outplay his opponents.
E his passive shield if your passive is down (so you don't waste it) tap Q when close instead to trade passives (your passive will recharge quicker than his) or just AA-E-AA-E-AA and Q away when your shield is up, cuz you will be wasting his passive with an auto. Ult when he's about to hit you with a tornado and don't let him E-Q-R you.”
Herbietron says “A good Yasuo will be able to destroy you. His kit allows him to easily get on top of you and block your Q. Once he gets lifesteal he out heals your damage. However bad Yasuo's can end up 0/10 before hitting their power spike.”
space cat says “You are extremely tanky compared to him. just avoid having drawn out fights where you cant hit a single q because of his mobility and windwall and you should win.”
Adventfaith says “Really comes down to skill on this one. Dodging his q's is vital. You can still tether him through windwall. so keep that in mind for ganks and self heals.”
Larkana_ says “As long as he doesn't windwall your stun you should be fine, if you do land it however wait for his passive to expire before attacking.
Outscaling edge teamfights/duels: Skarner [Low]/Skarner [Low]”
OnslaughtOfPwnys says “High mobility champion. A good Yasuo player won't ever get hit by your Chain (w) and your Qs. Same as Yone, count on his mistakes.”
Black Demon Ezel says “Yasuo may be able to dash around and has a wall that stops projectiles but that's very meaningless to you. You have no projectile abilities so you can go right through the wall. But be careful, the nature of his build makes him impossible to kill. Go Ignite and rush thronmail as soon as you build boots and mythic to slaughter him”
5Head Builds says “Surprisingly his damage and life steal usually wins against you in ult, and if you are laning against him he is hard to punish because of his mobility.”
Prof Harambe says “Unlike yone who requires two thumbs to pilot effectively, this character actually requires skill to win into you. You can easily force his passive out, Daisy can threaten him 1 on 1 since his mobility is more conditional and you can punish him for overextending since he doesn't have yone e. Bad points include the fact he can q stack daisy, then dash onto her and onto you for a guarenteed ult if you don't tether well, he can windwall your q to stop engages and he also outscales you. Nowhere near as bad as yone.”
MrZoltannn says “His windwall can block your Q, putting it on a very long cd in the early game, his lvl 3 all-in is much stronger than yours, so stay back, but YOUR lvl 6 is stronger than his, go prowler's against him and try to oneshot him.”
xPetu says “Tips: Your W blocks his Q if you are the first target it hits. He can windwall your Q pull and deny you from getting the Q stacks. Only very experienced Yasuo players know this, but if they do it correctly, it will cripple you severely. You will lose the energy in casting Q and have no way of getting it back.”
Stinkee says “Yasuo top lane is pretty rare. While he is annoying by dashing all over the place, he is pretty weak early. His Windwall blocks your E but it will not block a minion that you throw at him. Most Yasuo's will play very aggressive making them susceptible to ganks. He is almost definitely going to push you under tower. Take advantage of this and create a freeze by leaving 3 or 4 enemy caster minions just in front of your tower but not under tower. He will have to walk all the way up to CS and he won't be able to dash away. This will make him very vulnerable to ganks. Watch out for late game Yasuo. No matter how bad he plays early game he will shred you later on in the game. Don't fight him 1v1 once he gets 100% crit. Late game you want to get a Randuin's Omen to counter his crit damage.”
Sovereign Kitten says “You can not blind his (Q). Purchasing Ninja Tabi, however, will decrease how much damage this ability does to you. Never run away through your own minions, run through the river/jungle. You will not escape him due to his minion/champion (E) dash. You have a better chance running into his ally with no CC, than you do letting him catch up, using his second (Q) knock up into his (R). You have to predict his tornado and learn to side step. That's all. He lines it up with minions. You want to keep poking and keep tabs on his passive / wind wall which negate all damage and projectiles. If he places a wall, move in between it.”
Anoying bro5 says “This is an easy lane if you land riposte. Be careful that he can windwall your riposte. If he is good he will try to dash from your riposte but try to read him. Predict his Q tornado and his E Q dash knock up on you to riposte and deny him his ult. If you are losing lane rush tabis or even executioners if he is building Shieldbow.”
Thing in the Ice says “Yasuo is an absolute nightmare for Gnar. His E can be used indefinitely as long as he has minions to use it on. Because of this, Gnar’s only option to stay at a range is to step far from his own minion wave. The best time to trade with Yasuo is when he has no minions to E through. Watch carefully for when Yasuo has his tornado. Yasuo’s W will eat Gnar’s Q and put it on the full cooldown. It’ll also stop Mega Gnar’s Q from travelling. Rush Ninja Tabi.”
lol Wero says “depending on the yasuo player if he's used to the range match ups. (If yasuo is able to correctly use Windwall and his dashes versus the AD Neeko).”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Thresh/Yasuo is a skill matchup. His windwall counters your hook but can't block your autos, allowing you to poke him constantly. He has armor penetration from his ult and his passive can block a lot of damage early on. But you can cancel his dashes with flay and hook (if he's not expecting it) and he has no way to block your R damage - or slow. If either of you gets ahead it's very hard for the other to come back.”
quinn adc says “With Yasuo, you must be extra careful with your minions especially. Yasuo wants the lane to be frozen in front of his tower so that he can pressure you in your minion wave and dash through them to punish you.
First, it's important to save your E always because if you waste your E, Yasuo will dash onto you and all-in you.
What I like to do is use blind on Yasuo in lane, and most times Yasuo will use his windwall to block your Q. However, this is amazing because his windwall is a very long cool down. Our goal is to pretend that we wanna all-in, and then when he wastes his windwall, just play back until it goes away.
Our vault has prio on Yasuo’s E, so if he Es onto you, just retaliate with vault always.
Watch out for his empowered Q tornados by using your move speed to dodge it, or out run it by playing a little bit back.
After level 6 it’s critical not to get hit by his tornado to avoid his ultimate hitting you.
If Yasuo ults you, instantly retaliate with vault and run away. Most Yasuos will windwall after, but make sure to quickly E-Auto before he windwalls so that you get your harrier move speed mark consumed before his windwall blocks your auto.
If Yasuo ever wastes his Windwall or misses his empowered Q, retaliate with an engage because he relies on those two moves to win trades.”
Phrxshn says “You win trades early game before Yasuo late game power spike. All in Yasuo while dodging his Steel Tempest(Q). Avoid getting knocked up by his Q or he can use Last Breath(R) which let him blinks to you and knock you up while your airborne for 1 second. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Singed Early, Yasuo Late) (Outscaling Edge: Yasuo) (Recommended Items; Rylai's Scepter, Demonic Embrace, Boots of Swiftness) (Mega Adhesive prevent Sweeping Blade(E) and Last Breath from being cast) (Fling overrides Sweeping Blade)”
PH45 says “Very slippery once he has his E leveled. You can trade with him early but be mindful that he will dodge your E if you fight him in a minion wave. You can block his Q damage if his Q doesn't hit minions at the same time. After level 6 you should be able to outrade him with your Q + passive R proc. Steelcaps are good against him aswell.”
PH45 says “Can be tricky to hit your W onto him since he can dash through you to avoid it. Get tabis and try to W him when he has dashed through you and has nowhere to escape from its path. Also can windwall your Q and ult so can be tricky.”
Phrxshn says “You win trades early game before Yasuo late game power spike. All in Yasuo while dodging his Steel Tempest(Q). Avoid getting knocked up by his Q or he can use Last Breath(R) which let him blinks to you and knock you up while your airborne for 1 second. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Dr.Mundo) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Recommended Items; None) ”
slogdog says “Sidestep his Q's. Very obnoxious because he can E around like a rat and dodge your skills. Play safe or aggressive, doesn't matter, just try Q'ing a lot if he tries to do anything spicy.”
Raen says “Tabi rush against him. At 6 lvl stack AS and try to all in him, you should be able to get him. Be careful with yout E a bit cuz he can bait it riding across the minions and dodge stun quite easily. Your E block his Q and Q2 dmg. Active his shield before fighting with him. Get MS item to match his MS.”
Hijitori says “Yas wins first levels if full-in for first blood.
His W shield blocks your E only. He can dodge your Q with E dash, but it won't happen if you use Fog of War.
Rule 1: Yasuo's E dash is faster than your W animation so you will miss silence if you use those at the same time.
Rule 2: Using Q on self on the moment Yasuo knocks you up with his Q - he can still dodge it, you are longer in the air than your Q is getting ready to hit.
Otherwise, don't move next to the minions if you if you don't have Q, you need to poke him down in order to kill him when he can just take the advantage of your Q cd and go all-in spamming his Q/Aa and kill you w/e % hp you are. In late game (around 5th item). Your power spike is in mid game, where you can one-shot him, but Yasuo overpowers you for 1v1 in late game.”
SaltCat says “His w blocks you e and r so take care, you usually win this match up easily, level 1 if you get passive you hard win. after he has his e and w it becomes easy for him to dodge your e so care”
Phrxshn says “You win trades early game before Yasuo late game power spike. All in Yasuo while dodging his Steel Tempest(Q). Avoid getting knocked up by his Q or he can use Last Breath(R) which let him blinks to you and knock you up while your airborne for 1 second. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Trundle) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Recommended Items; None) ”
laoshin3v3 says “Conqueror
Don't fight near minions and parry his Tornado with Q+W since you can dash through his windwall with it. In Lowelo most yasuo's won't know that they can block parry with W. ”
LoLReal says “Yasuo shouldn't be much of a problem. He's reasonably strong level 1 & 2 but we can out trade him and punish him hard.
Don't fall behind in this lane.”
Justkb says “Yasuo can only stand in lane against Darius at level 1 and 2. After this once he has shoved brainlessly, run him down with ghost and try to E his E to land an easy Q. Once he hits level 6, try to trade close and time his knock-up with your E so that he can't ult. Yasou does outscale you but the game should be over by then.”
P1Legend says “Im going to copy paste this for both Yasuo and Yone because the matchup actually plays the same for both champions. Be aware of his third Q, because this is usually when he will follow up on the trade with either ult/ dash engage. If he misses third Q, you can take this as a chance to trade with him. In Yasuo's case specifically, you can cleanse the airborne status by using empowered W, making him unable to ult, so keep this in mind for when he tries to ult you.”
Phrxshn says “You win trades early game before Yasuo late game power spike if you play around his Windwall(W). All in Yasuo while dodging his Steel Tempest(Q). Avoid getting knocked up by his Q or he can use Last Breath(R) which let him blinks to you and knock you up while your airborne for 1 second. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Recommended Items; None, prioritize core items and stomp him) ”
Eriosunx says “Pretty hard if the Yasuo knows what he is doing.
He can punish every level 1 minion Q with AUTO+Q.
He can also nullify our E with this Windwall if the E collide between it.
Make sure to E orizontally and avoid all-ins if he has windwall up.”
Phrxshn says “You win trades early game before Yasuo late game power spike. All in Yasuo while dodging his Steel Tempest(Q). Avoid getting knocked up by his Q or he can use Last Breath(R) which let him blinks to you and knock you up while your airborne for 1 second. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Warwick) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Recommended Items; None, prioritize DPS and stomp him) ”
Fan22 says “Lategame he can be a pain to deal against and he can easy dodge your Q.
i reccomend Slowing him with active items and your E and using your W to deny him from using abilities and then finish him off with R.
Alway try to eat him in fights and focus him, unless theres a bigger threat in the enemy team such as a feed Adc.”
Kacto15 says “si vas full armadura no tiene oportunidad, si le das con tu control de masas y el no tiene minions es muy probable que le ganes, puedes ir Sion LETALIDAD O TANQUE, cuidado si tiene minions y esquívale sus machetazos”
Phrxshn says “You win trades early game before Yasuo late game power spike. All in Yasuo while dodging his Steel Tempest(Q). Avoid getting knocked up by his Q or he can use Last Breath(R) which let him blinks to you and knock you up while your airborne for 1 second. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Sett) (Outscaling Edge: Yasuo) (Recommended Items; None) ”
TroviStyle says “[Conqueror] skill matchup If u stun him with his third Q you can kill him, but he can windwall it. Just farm and punish him if he tanks your minions early on.”
OTP Toxin says “I personally think that it is an easy lane! You gotta keep moving and proc'ing your E on him, that way you keep reseting his Shield, play around him so you can AA him even if the wall is up! Don't be afraid, go into him, he won't expect and you have more damage to win the trade. :D”
SilverAvalanche says “W to get his shield and try and get ahead early or crash and roam, he will be an issue from 7:00-11:00, since that is the window he will have his ult and you are without your form.”
pokeyminch5236 says “Yasuo is very squishy early and you can beat him out early. Break his passive with an auto or Q and once lethal tempo is up, go for the stun and damage. If you see the tornado coming and he is in range, ult him so that way he can't ult while you are airborne”
Drake6401 says “Yasuo is easy if he tries to fight you, annoying if he only runs and stalls. His level 1 is stronger but you beat him at level 2 from there on out. I like to start Q then W because he can't completely zone you off the wave and just pokes at level 1. At level 2, he gets a dash, but you get a lock down or dash.
Your Empowered W punches straight through his passive shield. Land one Auto to trigger the shield then instantly W. This behavior is standard Renekton habit anyway so no real change.
Fighting away from minions cripples his mobility, but you like fighting in minions too, so either location is fine.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - EASY LANE. DON’T ALL IN LEVEL 1/2. FREE AFTER LEVEL 3. STEELCAPS RECOMMENDED WHEN BEHIND OR AHEAD.
Yasuo is a very free matchup in all honesty. Just don’t get outtraded by him levels 1 and 2 as at that point, he is stronger than you. He can sneak in a cheese kill if he is packing ignite so be mindful. After level 3 it is just very easy to run him down. If he has his Tornado, try to save your E in order to pull him in AS he throws it out. This way, even though you will be knocked up, he will be stunned by your E which means he cannot ult you. At that point it is a simple matter of popping Ghost and running him down. Yasuo WILL be able to beat you if you missplay hard though. If you need to pull him in for an all in, try to just E->Insta Q or a W->Q if you are fast enough/are on low ping as Yasuos will try to dodge your Q by dashing into you. Just land your spells and you should be good to go. Even if Yasuo cheeses a few kills early, Level 6 should be free as your ultimate is better than his. If he is putting up a good fight every trade, consider a Steelcaps rush which will shut him down for good. Yasuo will only be able to beat you hyper lategame but as a Darius, you should be trying your best to make sure the game doesn’t get to Lategame unless you are vs a low DPS comp.”
The Rock Titan says “"[Grasp w/ Bone Plating, Doran's Shield, E > W] - Once you get bramble, start taking more aggressive trades.
- You never want to max Q because that's the only skill shot he can block.
- He dashes everywhere... becareful.
- I think I put him Medium because Yasuo players are really confident... They have some crazy mechanics lol. Don't get outplayed!
- All in him with ignite once he's low enough
- Try to get Warden's Mail first back"”
sock217 says “Obnoxious and hard to catch. Windwalls your Q and can escape from your W. You dont even have the early game advantage due to his Q simply being better. Might be able to cheese something out before minions get to your lane.”
maxlid3 says “Keep your distance. He can't do much early and his windwall doesn't even block your autoattacks. But it blocks your W so watch out. After level 6 he may become a threat. ”
Rhoku says “He is similar to the Irelia matchup. With minions, he can dash around and dodge your minions with ease. You do NOT want to fight him at levels 1-2 as he wins straight up. From level 3 you can look for longer fights if you land your Q but the minions allow him to retaliate VERY easily. Once you get level 6, he is just done. Unlike other champions, there is NOTHING he can do to beat you in Death Realm. You can try to play the lane out aggressively and you will win if you are the better player but for a guaranteed win, just wait until level 6 and just destroy him. You won't need it but Ninja Tabis are great into him.”
PK Noob says “If he isn't 0/10, Yasuo can be an extreme threat. His windwall can completely negate your Ultimate and this can lose you a fight. Yasuo's mobility around minions will make it hard for you to hit your Q too so try not to fight him around minions.”
Psychopathic Top says “Yasuo is very mobile and fancy but if we take away his minion wave his nothing. Like Irelia, Yasuo requires a good sized minion wave to work his magic. Early game, focus on scaling and having him push into your turret. Rush tabis if you find his poke too much (as he is likely to rush Berserker’s, easier to catch him this way too). Post sheen level 6, try to fight him when he loses his wave. A good yasuo player will only play around minion waves, so if he doesn’t engage, just farm to triforce. You outscale in teamfights hard and wither demolishes yasuo’s abilities at teamfighting. ”
Olaugh says “Dont stay with ur minions is same way so he q minions + you , pretend like you go all in so he wastes his W and pick ghost(my cup of tea ) or flash so you catch him when he starts dashing with e on minions and trying to run way from your R,if you see that your R is ticking and he can potentially turn things around back off before its too late, you can all in him lv 1 and take care if he has ignite
Skill based match up, depends how good yasuo is , he can smash you or you him”
DippyDan says “Can win level 1 with passive. Hard to land parry since Windwall blocks it. Better in teamfights, but can solo him late game. TIPS: [1] Try dodging Q when going for CS. [2] Break passive shield and all in.”
IvernLover74856 says “BULLY HIM lvl 1. He can't win the all-in, but most Yas players think they can. If you win, stay with W sustain and bully him more. Farm him from then on.
If he takes E, you win. If he takes Q, you win. If he takes W, donate to his medical fund.
Edit: Now, thanks to lethal tempo rework, he wins lvl 1 if he hits a tornado, or stacks up lethal tempo”
KoKoNwoo says “Just watch out for his windwall. It will most likely be used to block your E. If he is threatening to tornado you, use your W reactively. You should be able to win as long as you have full stacks.”
Unmasked Kayle says “[Standard Runes, Dblade] Skill lane. Avoid his poke. Burn his passive shield whenever it is safe to do so. At 6 whenever he fails his engage you can punish him and either burn his windwall or poke him hard. Beware of the position of your own wave to avoid being engaged on. When trading you must dodge at least one Q.”
IAmStryker says “Starting Items:
-Dorans Shield
-Cloth Armor + 4 pots
Lane:
Can basically run you down at any point he feels like it, because of his dashes. Try to stay further back everytime a new wave comes in so he can not just dash onto you.
-Rush Berserkers -> Anti-Heal
PRO TIPP= Most Yasuos get impatient and find a way to kill themself some how. Just wait until they miss play out of arrogance.”
Beecai says “RUNAS RECOMENDADAS: AERY.---------------- Intenta pokear lo máximo a Yasuo en early (SIEMPRE MIRANDO EL MINI-MAPA Y JUGANDO CON CABEZA) Cada vez que tire su ''W - Muro de viento'' retrocede para obligarlo a que te persiga con su E si quiere hacerte daño y dicha habilidad pierda efectividad.
Generalmente los Yasuo suelen jugar muy agresivos dasheando entre los minions con la E lo cual te da posibilidades de aprovechar y castigarlos constantemente.---- Esquiva sus tornados post 6+ o este podrá ultearte.”
NeroZYN says “I feel Yasuo is very easy to fight against. You can dodge his EQ , Tornadoes and proc his passive very easily with the spray of your auto attacks against minions. If he attempts to EQ you, just auto e auto to dodge it. Simple!”
Alan234 says “Go the standard PTA build. Prioritize zhonya to stop him from knocking you up later on.
Yasuo is a skill matchup. Try to auto him right before his passive is up so that your poison tick can prock it. Try to be unpredictable with your q because he can windwall it. With shrooms once he starts to dash around you can sort of plant them in his face and kill him, however extremely good yasuos can outplay you. Its difficult to explain in a guide, because the matchup is heavily dependant on your auto spacing and how you react to his q's”
TXK_ says “Another high mobility champion who gives Mordekaiser a hard time. Your R limits his mobility due to a lack of minions so only look for fights at level 1 or post 6. Build full damage due to the armour penetration granted from his R.”
SemPelo says “He can poke and farm with his Q.
Take his passive shield off with a basic attack or a Q(not empowered).
If he does not have his shield you can combo him. Press the attack is an excellent rune against him.
”
SmollJon4s says “His windwall can't block anything from your kit other than your hold q. Take ignite to minimize his mid/late-game heal and all-in him if he is playing greedy.”
Vandenelis says “strong early, you can take down his shield with poke of your e spikes. you can win short trades as long as you don't get hit by his tornado.”
DarkyTheReal says “Skill matchup but better for Riven. Just sidestep his Q and remove is shield, then you want to try to give a little of poke before going for all-in. If you have problems get plated steel caps”
Lupus_ToplaneMain says “Parry his 3rd q and you win. With his e he lands behind his target, so if he tries to e + q you with 3rd q, parry behind you to stun him! His windwall can block your w.”
RTO says “You can easily kill Yasuo, you stick to him and negate his escapes, along with how squishy he actually is if you catch him. Just be careful if you get dismounted, he can turn it around easily then.”
RTO says “Windwall can stop the majority of your damage, he's extremely mobile and can shred through you easily. Try keep the wave near your tower, kite him and try to avoid his tornados.”
LoLReal says “Easy lane assuming Yasuo doesn't snowball on us. Respect his level 1 & 2 and you shouldn't have problems. We win after 2 and onward. All-in him at 6. Build tabi.”
SanLourdes says “Yasuo has a lot of tank shredding power, and his knockups can be very difficult to deal with. Your E is blocked by his wind wall. Using your ult is really tricky on him because of his dashes. Chasing him down with your passive will prove impossible because of all the mobility and CC he has. Your best bet for fighting him will be to clear the wave of minions so he can't use dashes while fighting. Thankfully you will almost never see him in top lane.”
Viego99 says “haha easy match up for viego .you win every duel in early/mid/late but you need remove shield.if he play aggressive use your w e aa q aa contiune aa ignite his dead. windwall block your w remember.you outscale yasuo and your teamfight is better (if enemy team have malphite... same tf )”
calbino says “Yasuo is usually more of a threat the more minions you have. His mobility and early damage potential are something to consider when fighting him.”
Jaori says “Don't let him stab you at level 1. You beat him in a 1vs1 at every level, but he is going to dash around the minions and keep being annoying. If he wants to fight, you can kill him easily. You win lvl 6.”
ForgottenProject says “This is a Skill Match-up but it favors you because his Knock-up is so easy to parry.
[1]Q-W his Tornados to stun him.
[2]Make sure his Shield is on cdr when you go for Trades or All-ins(You can turn it off by using Q on a minion near him and using your tiamat at the end of the Q to damage him with AoE).
[3]Ninja Tabis are good against him since All his damage is from auto attacks.”
epic blitz top says “Yasuo players never expect your damage, especially since they rarely build any health/armor/MR early. You can almost one shot Yasuo level 6, and remember that your ult deletes his shield. You can also look for hooks as he is dashing through your minions. Watch out for windwall though, unless you get a lucky grab you want to begin trades with E.”
Sopachi says “Yasuo is basically just a cannon minion for Kled. His only redeeming quality is that he can Windwall (W) your Q when you all in. Be patient when you dash in with E and bait his W and then throw your Q after and you will win every time. Yasuo never threatens Kled at all stages of the game. ”
SavagePridestalker says “Very bad idea to go tank Rengar into Yasuo, you want to dominate him in the early game, thus you want to build damage. If you let Yasuo scale for free, he'll beat you very soon and take over the game.”
Bricks N Chips says “Can be quite aggressive if he dashes onto you and knocks you up. Keep this in mind and stay out of your minion wave, be ready to dodge some tornados and you should be fine.”
MachDawn says “Annoying for newer or not as good Irelia players. Windwall will be a hard counter as well as his flash E out of R's or E's. Not unwinnable but super abnoxious.”
Safolet says “Yasuo can counter Gnar quite easily, because he has the E, with which he can move around with minions and then get closer to Gnar while he's in mini form. Also, Yasuo has his W, with which he blocks all of MiniGnar's basic attacks and Q. While you are in Mega form, it will be your best stage, since Yasuo will find it difficult to approach you because of your great CC, but remember that Gnar spends more time in Mini form than Mega, so in the beginning of the game, more or less at levels 3 it will be very difficult to farm if Yasuo plays well.”
AlanVenator says “Yasuo is kind of annoying to lane against. He can freely move around minions, making in and out trades that are hard to counter with urgot. He is quite squishy so you shouldn't have a hard time deleting him, however it is quite difficult to land your E as he will constantly use his dash to dodge your abilities.”
SethPRG says “A simple matchup, easy to dodge his Q recast. If he ever walks up early he will just die. The only annoying thing is he can E away from you on the minion wave. Most Yasuo players when making a stupid trade will ego E across 20 different minions to try to escape from you, don't follow them completely as they will most likely just E back away and towards their tower. Their ult is also not really that useful against you except in team fights, and they can only ever really beat you past level 11, but you should have bullied them out of existence before then. Take Bramble Vest eventually, get a Randuin's Omen 2nd or 3rd item depending on if there's another crit champ.”
El Leon Gnar says “Another skill-matchup. Play far back while in mini so that you can trade with Q before he can ever get on top of you, and you should be able to easily win trades while in mega. You get early kill pressure at 6 since your ult is usable a lot faster than his needing a knockup. Just kite well and dodge Q's.”
Helix128 says “be careful with his tornado, he can windwall your q and autoattacks and has a lot of lifesteal in the late game.
try to win level 1 trades and abuse him when his windwall is on CD.
Get grievous wounds when possible.”
Kaizin says “Be careful of Yasuo's q range, if you're walking up to cs try to position allied minions between Yone and yourself, that way even if he hits you, it's pushing the wave. If he ever tries to dash onto you, just drop E and use your Q on him at the same time, Volibear has much higher base damage early game than Yasuo. Bramble vest early is a strong counter to this champion and try to avoid getting hit by his tornado, either walk back (but within XP range) or position allied minions between the both of you, that way he's pushing the wave. Your jungle should be able to punish him if he's pushing constantly.”
I am so chill says “dont fight him near your minions as he can dash with his e around you.Poke him.You destroy him early.Avoid getting knocked up and you win everytrade.”
ryzetrox says “Yeah braindead yasuos wont win against you but good ones will be untouchable. You basically have no abilities thanks to his E and windwall. After he gets PD hes immortal. You wont kill him.”
CaptianMike says “Rush ninja tabi to win lane. Get thorn mail if you want to absolutely destroy him. Once you get a few items you can win. In lane, respect his early levels and farm under tower. After you farm the first wave, let him push because his level 2 is stronger than yours.”
Humitaxx says “Yasuo is not any threat as long as you know how to save your E and your W to stun him, this is for both the normal Sett build and the Tank build, for the assassin, you just have to trade as frequent as possible with hail of blades starting with your E for the extra damage from your runes and then AA - AA - Q - AA - AA”
Womsky says “Scaling setup, Dumbass toplane pick, he is really strong early levels, personally l farm till level 6 then l just, stright up beat his ass even if lm behind abit, over all an easy matchup just dont get cheesed by getting cocky ever early, he is stright up stronger level 1, 2, 3 so please no all in's before u at least reach level 4.”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “Can be pretty annoying as he can windwall your E and R, start E and be passive as he beats you hard early levels. Let him push you in and once you have passive stacked, try and get him with your E. If he doesn't windwall you crush him. Be careful though as he has better mobility than you in minions (he doesn't need to last hit them, just press E on them), if he kites you and spams Q on you, you will lose. Its better to fight him when he has minions and you don't assuming its not before you have cutlass, since you will heal a lot from the minions rather than get destroyed by them. You beat him as long as you hit either E or R on him even into much later levels but he will beat you if he gets to jump on you first since he can drop windwall right where you are and you won't be able to react. Always have passive stacked before fighting.”
tibs2 says “Bramble rush. Always look to w his e even if it is just on a minion. If you can w his e and then q you can get a massive trade win. Only reason this is not a 1 is because he can windwall your buckler which is a really big deal.”
shinsuky says “Best match-up in top if you know how to play teemo a little. Just need to waste his wind-wall, after this free dps and just dodge his Q, really easy with our W.”
DunkinDumpling says “Darius is a very good counter to yasuo, yasuos windwall is useless agianst darius and darius runs yasuo down with ease if hes stronger. I would be careful level 1 and 2 though. Yasuo could actually kill darius with ignite then if he plays it correctly. because remember, yasuos e is a dash so if darius q's yasuo can just e into darius and negate the healing and damage you will do. ”
aWhiner says “Yasuo is an absolute nightmare for Gnar. His E can be used indefinitely as long as he has minions to use it on. Because of this, Gnar’s only option to stay at a range is to step far from his own minion wave. The best time to trade with Yasuo is when he has no minions to E through. Watch carefully for when Yasuo has his tornado. Yasuo’s W will eat Gnar’s Q and put it on the full cooldown. It’ll also stop Mega Gnar’s Q from travelling. Rush Ninja Tabi.”
Noodles912 says “Mid lane, 3. Top lane, 5. Just farm and freeze. If you are against him top, rush seekers+tabi. Yas wins extended trades and can easily run you down. Use W to dodge his nado. Farm and outscale him. Top lane yas is painful, so best is to not pick vlad in this case.”
kohyss says “Do not fight him early wait for 6 and for bramble or plated caps, then all in him and you should win. If he is big problem build randuinn.”
Urgodzilla says “If he is good it might be tricky. His mobility makes him hard to catch and his windwall blocks everything you have except your E. Get Randuin's omen if you are behind.”
Draconic56 says “He is similar to the Irelia matchup. With minions, he can dash around and dodge your minions with ease. You do NOT want to fight him at levels 1-2 as he wins straight up. From level 3 you can look for longer fights if you land your Q's but the minions allow him to retaliate VERY easily. Once you get to level 6, he is just done. Unlike other champions, there is nothing he can do to beat you in the death realm. You can try to play the lane out aggressively and you will win if you are the better player but for a guaranteed win, just wait until level 6 and just destroy him. You won't need it but plated steel caps are great against him.”
Kokob5 says “A good Yasuo will make it hard to land Q's and try abusing you early but so long as you wait till 4 and land an E you should win fights. ”
negoZoma69 says “Very player dependent, but a decent Yasuo should be not losing lane to Neeko ever. His windwall counters you hard and he has so much sticking potential for you to deal with. Trying still don't hurt so I'd suggest you abuse autoattacks as much as you can, maybe even take grasp and always try to bait his windwall before trading. Ult him when his shield is down and you know he can't escape with minions and follow that with your full combo so he can't use windwall. Once he gets shieldbow you can't really win unless very fed and it's hard to snowball this lane because of the 0/10 powerspike.”
SeptikYT says “Easy to trade with as his Q will not do more damage than yours. He has no early game sustain and not much damage, also no escapes at level 1, so abuse this as you can get first blood easily or burn his flash.”
idadees says “Avendo modo di evitare le Q di Aatrox, Yasuo diventa quasi un matchup impossibile per Aatrox, come sempre conviene non affrontarlo 1v1, in questo potrebbe evitare totalmente di subire danno, facendovi rimanere magari senza vita e con il rischio di all in o di dive.”
not normal says “He counters champs who move slowly or stand still a lot.
Move around, get away from your own minions and chip his health away from a safe distance. Please watch how your own minions move before choosing to go in on him; he might escape through them or kite through them.”
TwistedDemon says “Let's be real, it's hard for you to hit abilities on a champion that dashes permanently. Test the yasuo player to see if he actually knows what he's doing or no, you can all in and kill him if he underestimates you early on. You probably focus on not dying and farming as much as possible. It's easier for you to be useful after lane's over.”
raede says “Yasuo is a breeze because his death is like the wind. Your passive will get rid of his passive and he is never able to 1 v 1 you. Get bramble and kill him a lot.”
Runtley says “Yasuo really isn't that hard you just gotta watch out for 1 thing. Wait for him to use wind wall BEFORE you use blind him, you may think "well duh" well many Yasuo players will trick you (50% of them put windwall in the wrong direction though). Really just wait for windwall to be gone then go all in.”
Reformed Ravi says “pain in the ass, he can dash out of your w and just zoom everywhere so just q grasp bonk him and have your ghouls get him when you land your e”
stygiandesolation says “Don't E as soon as you jump on him because a good yas will dash to a minion and avoid it. Preferably, after level 6 hold your E until he ults you then you win.”
Alekra says “Pretty easy to beat. Your kit is just way better against him than his against you. Prock his passive shield with an autoattack before engaging and there should be no way that he wins the trade. Your Q silence prevent him from dashing so you can stack your E for free.”
Erenando says “Hasagi!!!! He'll poke you badly pre 6. Get sheen, tp back, slow him down, press Ult and fuck him up. His game is over and the typical 0/10/0 yasuo goes on.”
ToinoEscaca says “You can hit your abilities very well since he needs to get close to you to give damage, and also he's squishy.
PUNISH HIM :)
Note: use Devour (W) after his ultimate to wait for the extra damage on hit to end.”
Olaf Only says “Easy if you survive until lvl 6.
Timing your R in this matchup is VERY important.
For the most part you should focus on Auto attacking him to death rather than spamming Q since it is incredibly hard to land Q's against him.”
LunaticDancer says “Annoying lane, because of all the poke and dashing around. Try to E him when he's on you, build anti-heal early to deny him a lot of his power. Be wary of the facts that if the situation is clutch for your both, he has a bigger chance of an asspull win, so if you engage, you must be very certain of the outcome. Generally, the longer the game lasts, the harder it becomes for him to tickle you, and how fast do you stomp him is in your hands.”
Dotje says “There's not much you can do against him in botlane. His windwall will deny everything you got, but because you're ad based there's a chance he will windwall your basic attacks. Making you able to use your abilities later.”
SpyDaFX says “Skill matchup. don't trade with him level 1 or he will sh*t on you, look for short trades level 2. you can play the lane in the safer way by only farming and not picking extended trades, and getting tiamat as a first back and killing him level 6, because tiamat works perfectly against yasuo. ur full combo with tiamat will usually kill him early-mid game (sometimes u will need to ult and ignite), unless he gets really fed. go Conqueror or press the attack depends on enemy comp.”
Ravenborne says “XD. Free lane. Deny his Tornado with your E so he can not ult you. If you do get low and need to run, run towards River so he has no minions to dash to. Do not let him get free Dash Q's off on you. If he starts dashing through your wave pop Ghost and kill him.”
Kil4fun says “He kites your poke and can just e flash you. Will perma push and not let you farm with autos, you'll need to save abilities to farm at turret.”
DoubleQ says “Can harass you hard. Dodge his 3Q and you should outscale him. Beware of his passive and ult which can kill you though. Not recommended fight him near an ally minion wave.”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Yasuo is already a coinflip champion, but seeing as you pop his passive with your Q (Making it redundant) as well as being able to cancel his E and R with your W, he's hot garbage. ”
Devilofthewest says “early game yas is probably less threatening than teemo. avoid his tornado and always land the empowered W and then there will be very little he can do except take damage. If you know his ult is up, use your E when he hits you with the tornado, its a habit of alot of yasuo's to automatically hit R once they land the tornado, Your E will block the whole thing and you can stun him right after and fight to the death.”
ModelitoTime says “This matchup also depends on the type of player. He can block your Q and your R sadly with his windwall, if he his low hp make sure to only ult him if his windwall is on cooldown. Other than that if you land an E on yasuo and full combo him he is dead 9 times out of 10”
ChevalierArlo says “Pré-6 ele é bem mais forte do que você, mas passando disso, basta não dar kills que ele certamente será o 0-10 do time dele pela dificuldade que ele terá de passar pela sua armadura, vida e dano.”
nvckxwsky says “You counter him pretty well and yas can not 1v1 you after lvl 3
Take Dblade, wait for lvl 3,rush steelcaps and he can't even touch you
Rush anti-heals!
Stomp him asap and dont give him any single way to come back!
”
ineptpineapple says “Blocks your escape tool and your qs, i dont usually find it hard to deal with yas though. When he engages you can punish him so hard and you proc his passive sooooo easy. make sure that he doesnt force you behind him so that he can stop your e. Otherwise you are good.”
Hyzerik says “You will win this match super easy. He needs to build crit so he doesn't have health and needs to get close to you. Make sure your E stuns everytime.”
zFoxy says “Annoying Prick. His Shield means you cant poke and his range with Q is more annoying than Lux. Ban if your mid. Also go Heal Barrier as he cant tower dive you. Sounds throw: works.”
Raylzaw says “Why Yasuo?IF he is good,his E can ruin your entire combo in laning phase,and dodge the last hit.Although,if you know where he will dash,its not that hard of a matchup.”
Raideru says “Pretty easy matchup, you're always stronger than him just try to not lose ur e from his dashing and be sure to not miss it since he can win the trade after that if ur both even in HP. I advise Conqueror Dblade and sheen is very good here bcs of perma jumping on him to do q into auto w.”
LeSocair says “You can W knockups so he doesn't ult. Remember to play around his wall CD. Keep his Passive Shield down with Q. Fight away from creeps. Kegs are strong against him.
You can sidestep the Q if you do it at the right time.”
sauronkaiser says “Really depends the player. A good Yasuo can be a real cancer to play aganist, but thats not often seen. Remember hes very squishy when he has no shield. Once late game is reached, you will only beat a good one with an ally that CC him.”
TioKirb says “Mobility: check
Damage: check
Crowd Control: check
A shield that you must time your passive to effectively break to avoid wasting mana: check
This matchup is harder than your average one, it is winnable, but it is also challenging. If you want to ult him, don't do it while he has a shield, or if he's going to get his shield. Because he will deny the effect. I know, it's bs.”
EU_Toxicity says “Try to extend trades when he tries to q poke. Cancel his tornado with your E and you should win most all-ins, if you see that he has a chance of killing you, run to river so he can't chase you using the minion wave.”
iZeal says “Yasuo's strength lies in Level 1 and 2, after that it's all downhill from him until at least 2-3 items. His only mobility is offensively based, so as long as you don't walk in front of him he has no way of disengaging towards his tower, only into your minion wave. Don't waste your Q when he can maneuver around your wave (also auto-attacking him 5 times into ult is basically enough to murder him at level 6). Try to pull him if he throws a tornado at you so he cannot use his ultimate on you. If he EQs into you with a knock up you have to flash if you want to avoid it. Yasuo will outscale you, but getting Randuin's Omen and Ninja Tabis will severly limit his damage against you until very late into the game.
DBlade, Tabis!, Phage
Randuin's later on”
DasGrauen_ says “He has good dmg. But hes not very tanky if his passive is down. After your first lethality spike hes literally oneshotable. Laning phase is pain though.”
bocchicken says “Skill matchup. Bait his windwall before ulting, and care for his mobility when using your E or Q. if you catch him, guarenteed kill at 6 with ult+ignite.”
NoxianBlood says “Yasuo I would say he's an even matchup just try to survive early phase rushing Tabi and Omen, and if team didn't feed him you should be fine, but don't underestimate him he can be quick and dodgy at times, he might wind wall your roar of the slayer so you can't slow him, try to break his shield before doing your combo, and a fed Yasuo Hurts even if you are heavily armored cause of his 50% armor penetration buff from his ult, so always stomp him don't laugh and walk around circles with him.”
DarkWolfDavid says “I dont recommend banning him, becouse this is mostly a skill matchup. Her windwall can counter your E and R, and his knockup is dangerous, especially in teamfights. You have more Defense and damage with the right build, and if you are ahead you can kill him easily.”
cartoyhu says “After enough items, two to three autos should be enough to kill him. Same for all the rest of the squishes, stun them, autothem, Q3 them, auto them, they're probably dead”
byThiagus says “Yasuo y yone es facil ganarles, segunda pagina de runas y espada de doran, A partir de lvl 3 ganas cualquier 1v1 en cualquier situacion Si pegas tus q con el borde”
Boblet says “Yasuo is skill based like Riven but is in for a rude awakening if he thinks blowing on your fists are going to keep them away from his face.”
AWierdShoe says “Be careful to not take extended trades level 1-2. Only do short trades when you have a full minion wave he can’t fight inside. Once you hit level 3 though, you can start winning trades using your W and keeping your E for disengaging if he ever tries to all-in you. Once he grows low and you wanna finish him off but he’s dashing around everywhere, a tip to hit your taunt is to look which minion is the obvious “dash-target”, and once he starts that E just instantly taunt the spot he’s gonna arrive at.
”
I Am Goliath says “Hard matchup since he is so slippery and can dodge most of your stuff, very hard to hit Q's on yasuo's and sometimes E if he is really good. Your best bet is to try to win this matchup early because at 6 he can kill you if he lands a tornado on you. Yasuo is pretty punishable early though so take advantage of that just be careful because if he snowballs at all the lanes probably over. Remember that his winwall does not block your E since the minion is not a projectile.”
I Am Goliath says “Try to punish him early you can outrade yasuo very hard. If he snowballs at all this is going to be a tough matchup, make sure you stay even cs with him and try to keep him under control, don't allow him to do anything for free or he will get out of control, I like to hard zone yasuos early, and rush a ninja tabi and bami's cinder. Also remember you can use your W to dodge his tornado, and poke his shield down with your Q before all going in on him.”
StrikeX114 says “Yasuo's main counter to you is Wind Wall (W). Be sure to kite around it to poke him whilst remaining at a distance. Also, because its Yasuo, going toe-to-toe with them may tilt them off the planet enough to make it a 4v5 in your favor. This goes for any champion, but Yasuo players are, shall we say, notorious for this.”
Saarlichenbog says “Yasuo's entire lane presence is dependent on the state of the minion wave. This matchup ultimately boils down to wave management and freezing under tower to deny him the chance to jump on you. This also prevents him from being able to escape a full combo and use his one utility spell, his W windwall. Because of the fact his W has such an absurdly long CD, its prime to just go ham on him during this time to which he can basically not respond until he hits a couple items later on in the game.”
ItsPaulygon says “Yasuo can be a nightmare for your team late game. This is a skill match up. Take Corrupting Potion if you are confident in your skill. If the Yasuo is a level 7 with 200,000 Mastery Points and you feel scared, take Doran's Shield. Be careful not to get hit with Tornadoes, and be careful if he tries combo's like Flash + Keyblade stuff. You can beat him pre 6. If he reaches 6, avoid getting knocked up as much as possible. Also be mindful of his shield passive. Once you stun him, you out damage him. After that, be careful not to get him with his Q's. He has more mobility with minions around. So it's best to trade with less minions. If there are a crap ton of minions, wait for them to clear. Rush Sheen and Ninja Tabi's.”
llametekudasai says “XD?XD?XD?XD?XD? juega bien y gana la linea, no hay mas explicación.
facilito hasta que saque 6 items, en ese momento procura jugar en equipo. si te mueres en el juego temprano porfavor no te tiltees tu power spike esta en el lvl 6, en ese momento el yasuo no para de tener la pantalla en negro, da igual si va 2/0
ten cuidado de que el consiga un item antes que tu o si no ya no podras hacer lo del lvl 6
”
Biko14CS says “Yasuo's main counter to you is Wind Wall (W). Be sure to kite around it to poke him whilst remaining at a distance. Also, because its Yasuo, going toe-to-toe with them may tilt them off the planet enough to make it a 4v5 in your favor. This goes for any champion, but Yasuo players are, shall we say, notorious for this.”
pedrohnasc says “He can dodge your Q's using your minion wave, if he can't dodge he's a canon minion.. Use Grasp, he stacks conqueror a lot faster than you.”
Nicklstherealone says “He is harder than his brother to manage. He will dash through you and his Winwall blocks your Autos Q W and R. Furthermore you wont escape him becuase of his. Try to hit your E to trade... ”
Frostyfps says “Can be pretty annoying as he can windwall your E and R, start E and be passive as he beats you hard early levels. Let him push you in and once you have passive stacked, try and get him with your E. If he doesn't windwall you crush him. Be careful though as he has better mobility than you in minions (he doesn't need to last hit them, just press E on them), if he kites you and spams Q on you, you will lose. Its better to fight him when he has minions and you don't assuming its not before you have cutlass, since you will heal a lot from the minions rather than get destroyed by them. You beat him as long as you hit either E or R on him even into much later levels but he will beat you if he gets to jump on you first since he can drop windwall right where you are and you won't be able to react. Always have passive stacked before fighting.”
Defensivity1 says “Dblade start is good vs yasuo you can kill him level 3/4 with 4 ghouls as long as you run conq, be careful and don't push the wave, instead back off and sit back and wait for yasuo to push the wave towards your tower.”
NaCLBait says “Don't let him run you down on your minion wave, don't q in your minion wave, and don't charge q when he has r. You can r through his tornado.”
TangoVallhala says “Pretty easy, avoid his skill shot, and all in him every opportunity you get, if he gets on to you reserve a second and third Q with W to decimate him, be poking him as well.”
Penguinoverlord1 says “Yasuo is a pretty easy matchup as long as you avoid his poke from his dash. Also be conscious of his windwall every time you use your E.”
SkYRiiKZz says “Definitely a perma ban for mid lane. All Kindred's abilities are mainly based on range and shooting her target making Yasuo and his Windwall/W a problem.”
Liko888 says “Yasuo can dance around for you days if there is a minion wave, but he is a sitting duck if no minions are around. In addition most yasuo's are dogs, they might just int into you.”
qasddsa says “Relatively easy champion as long as he doesn't get fed. In most cases, you can still duel him as long as you ult his ult or ult right after he ults. If he uses Windwall, you need to kite around it or bait him out of it; fight away from your minions as much as you can if you're dueling him.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “CONQUEROR / GRASP (SCALING) SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Yasuo is a really strong champion but its a really player dependant, in the right hands, he is one of the most broken champions, in the wrong ones he will hit the 0/10 power spike in 2 minutes. In early laning phase (lvl1) you can look to bait his Q by getting in range and inmediately back off to force him to shove in the wave, respect his early game since it deals a lot of damage if he plays it properly. Once you hit lvl 6 and Sheen you can all in him if overcommits, usually while fighting him make sure that you use E to get rid of his Passive Shield since it negates some Q damage, also be careful to not fight him in a big wave since he can use it to his advantage but usually its too much damage for him to take. Later on to the game, depending on how much CC the enemy team composition has and how fed he is (If he is), you can choose either to Splitpush or to Teamfight, but usually Splitting is better since you negate his chance of hitting multiple people with a Q Tornado and get a multiple target R, In the splitpush he won't be able to handle you solo so be prepared for 1v2 or even 1v3 scenarios. Also if you are kitting him, look to run away from your minion wave since he can use it to gap close to you.”
SkellyBirb says “If the Yasuo is good, his windwall can block everything you have and he can also dash using minions to avoid your q and e. Play safe.”
Gxxllx says “You are favored vs him but depending of his skill and enemy jungler ganks he can win you, just take care and ward your zone, do short trades”
Monza de Bodykit says “Same as Akali, you have to be carefull. At the early levels, its a little dangerous to fight with him, but you can change that with life steal and Greivous Wounds”
SubHuman Filth says “go grasp or electrocute.
Yasuo is an annoying matchup. be careful because a good yasuo wins this every time. (master+)
dont q into his windwall, just shroom the wave when he goes in and bait out his windwall.
get seekers and health early.
”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash Long sword refillable potion start. Lethal tempo can sometimes be ineffective against yasuo because of how well he can kite away from auto attacks in your minion wave however if you catch him away from your minion wave or he stays in your auto range too long this is they better keystone to take. If you can build up fury without taking too much damage level one you can look to get level 2 advantage and take a good trade. To avoid damage from yasuo's q walk inside his q range, then instantly right back out to bait out his q and dodge it. If you are looking for a trade against yasuo, first try to take away his shield by damaging him with an auto attack, then engage on him after the shield expires. Yasuo has very strong level 1 and 2 allins, so if you take too much damage level 1 building up fury, let him push you in, sustain back up so you can fight him when you hit level 4. After level 6, Tryndamere can win an allin with yasuo by sticking on to him, after he uses ultimate, Yasuo must look to try to kite with his knockup and dashing through your minions. It is always best to fight Yasuo away from your minion wave.Typically post 6 if you are able to engage on him and dodge his tornado in the all in you will win by default because he cannot ulti. In the mid-late game you can win against yasuo away from minions although in your minion wave if he is even with you, he can fight you well. Once Yasuo is 6 items it becomes a very even 1v1 even away from minions.”
Nabura says “Harder in longer lanes where he can dash through lots of minions. If you can't side step his tornado you need to use R as he will follow up with his own R.”
STIERNACKENTYP says “This matchup depends on how good enemy Yasuo is. I would say u have a easy lane vs 90% of the common 1.8 kda yasuo mains, if he is one of the 10% who perfectly abuse this champ, u need to play passive and farm.”
HoldMySake says “Hard matchup if you were running Conqueror, as he stacks it WAYYYYYYYYYY faster than you. But Grasp makes the matchup more manageable. He may be able to dash out of your abilities, but he can't dash out of a passive + grasp + sheen AA.”
qazx1427 says “If, one day, I saved the world and was granted a single wish, I would make Yasuo top bannable. He can engage through your ghouls, ignores your wall, and will do nothing but make your life a misery. Buy Tabi and wonder why the good Yasuos are always on the enemy team.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “Most yasuo players will not be remotely good enough and should not be a threat at all, dont eat free poke and just bash his brains in, if he tries to do EQ with knockup ready you can ult him and you dont get knocked up, if there are no friendly minons nearyby he cant run and if you rush tabi he deals 0 damage. Randuins is also really good vs him.
Take armor.
Take armor.”
AfroNinja542 says “Yasuo tends to focus on his Q and AA, so use your W wisely and you can win with conqueror. Otherwise, try to poke with grasp and build some armour up before he gets fed, because let's face it, it's Yasuo.
”
xXkillercrackXx says “50/50 lane. Gangplank has the potential to destroy yasuo early, and vice versa. This matchup totally depends on the players and how they pilot their champions.”
Dreadscythe95 says “Kayle wants to avoid interaction with the enemy early game, you goal is to farm as much as possible and scale. Now add to the mix a champion that can dash on you on the blink of an eye every time that you try to farm because of your minion wave. Now consider the fact that this champion scales pretty damn well so it's not like he can't deal with your late game. Now also consider the fact that hos windwall stops all Kayle dmg. A nightmare of a champion for Kayle.”
berronii says “Destroy his passive with a basic attack, dodge his Q with E, land 1-2 basics and then Q him. Keep damaging him with basics and don't be scared, you have your passive. When he drops to very low HP, use your W (increased by 1% hp your opponent is missing) and ignite if needed. ”
wallobear53 says “Yasuo is extremely agile and will be using the minion wave to his advantage to dodge you skillshot abilities. Do your best to CC him when possible, especially when his W is down as he won’t be able to block your abilities easily.
Make sure you dodge his tornadoes whenever you can. It makes up for a lot of poke damage as well as allows him to reach you quickly while you’re knocked up. The last thing you want in this lane is facing a Yasuo in melee range.
Always break his Passive shield with your ranged abilities and Auto-Attacks whenever possible. It mitigates a deceptively high amount of damage and you don’t want your damage to get absorbed by his Passive when you manage to CC him.
”
laoshin3v3 says “Yasuo has a lot of moblity so be careful that he doesnt poke u down when he jumps on minions. If u fight him after both minion waves are down u win hard.”
Murderman5 says “Can neglect the damage of your blind with his shield so don't use it early, Can easily dash at you so be careful of that, As he uses his ult at you, unless you have your blind, You will be taken out immediately, Try to stay ranged and poke constantly”
Fiora Pogjet says “ Care about the first levels where he can just poke you down with his Q and jump arround with his E. You can prarry his 3rd Q Tornado very easy tho so he can't ult you. Midagme you should win these fights. Try to buy Ninja Tabis and trade him if his passive shield isnot up.”
NullPC says “I swear this paracite of a champion finds himself in every lane under the sun, overall his infinit dashes dont matter in your minon wave as it just procs more of your legs and loses hard without his items.”
Ashookaa says “50/50 if its a typical yasuo main u won just try to make him try to dive u or go all in so u can outplay him and boop the game si 5 vs 4 now but when yasuo has brain freeze lane u chill”
Murderman5 says “Yasuo's dashing is just as annoying as Yone's although they are very predictable since he cannot use iton the same minion's take your chances before a minion wave arrives break his shield with w and do the damage with q or e.
[remember to take randuin's omen T_T in case your opponent is skilled] ”
Doktora says “yasua is strong but have some weak early game to level 6 you can take him down if you miss to kill him or leave him to farm easy you will lose the lane and late game you yasua carry the team,but if you stop him early the game it will be yours. ”
Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash Long sword refillable potion start.

Mohid97 says “Absolute super BS windwall can block your ult and also is to mobile so becomes extremely hard to use E effectively against him. (P.S riot please nerf these brothers) ”
BloodyDream81 says “Match up gratuit, évite juste les trade aux niveaux 1 et 2, mais c'est gratuit une fois niveau 3, essaie de l'affronter loin de tes propres sbires car il peut les utiliser pour s'enfuir !
Mais une fois ton fantôme activé, il a peu de chance de s'en sortir même en utilisant son flash, prend rapidement tes tabi ninja et ton phage, et si tu as vraiment pris beaucoup d'avance dans les premier niveaux, il est relativement facile de le dive quand tu seras confiante sur Darius.
Astuce : N'utilise pas ton E pour engager, attend qu'il essaie de dash pour s'enfuir afin de le retenir, et de t'assurer le Kill.”
Dantheman81 says “Yasuo's in any division are either very good, or very bad. A thing I've noticed when playing against or with Yasuo mains is they always like to go in no matter how behind or ahead they are. This game you want to build a Randuin's Omen after Sheen to counter his crit and attack speed. Anytime he uses his ult on you or a teammate, throw whatever ghouls you have at him.”
Xplor says “Yasuo can block your "E" with his wall. Yasuo can avoid your "E" easily. But you already know how to play against him. On top with Yorick, there's nothing different. Just poke and poke and engage when you think is safe to do and you can secure a kill. Once you do it, the lane is all yours.”
Darrkescru says “Pega exaust top e a runa pode ser colheita geralmente e bem facil espera ele gastar a wall e pokea ele ate ficar low e conseguir o matar (ja ganhei do courtesy assim)”
darksage1234 says “Should be particularly an easy lane for you. Yasuo cant outmaneuver you very well and does not have the damage to take you down in early levels. You can easily push him out or kill him at level 3. Make sure you do not trade with him once he has his tornado. ”
ACE4291 says “you can destroy him early...
the buff movement speed is a problem without Frozen Heart.
its Yasuo. hard late game but you can beat this guy 1v1 if he isnt ahead of you
OMEN is recommended for items”
WatchersGrim says “Basic duel that goes into tryndamere's favour as yasuo has no real getaway from your E or W. Better sustain and an ult to counter his ult. EZ stuff!”
Beatport Expo says “Minor Threat in the early game but a Good Yasuo can change that but he'll still have a hard time fighting you
You PROBABLY still can fight him later on but you won't him win unless you bought Thornmail or Randuin's Omen”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “PUNCH HIM AND HE DIES, YOU CAN ULT HIM AND DODGE THE CC FROM TORNADO AND HE IS COMPLETELY DOOMED, GO TABI IF YOU FUCK UP EARLY AND WIN ANYWAYS”
Subject3 says “yasuo is rather weak, just get omens, and dont let him get his q off for the tornadoes.
if somehow you see yourself losing in the trades dont let him get the kill or else he will snowball off on you.
”
Starci says “Q and W into his tornado and if you get the stun off you win. Even if you don't, you should still win the fight fairly easy. Even if you don't have your parry up, it's easy to dodge his tornado.”
Destroya777 says “Yasuo is usually too mobile to land a Q, W or E. Stay out of range and use Q to farm. Don't use your R until you know his W is on cooldown.”
Discord Rengar Mains says “It honestly depends on the ability of the yasuo in question. Bad Yasuos are a weeb minion, good Yasuos have to be respected, and great Yasuos can beat the shit out of you before you even notice what the hell was going on. To beat Yasuo early, focus on poking him down little by little, abusing the time his shield is down the best you can, then going all in once he is at 50% HP or so. His early game is fairly bad and he is one of the most item dependent champs in the entire game, so if you actually set him behind he can't do much - but if he gets a lead, the very same thing goes for you too. If he is smart he will rush phantom dancer, which means you will have to work around at least two shields, but if you are ahead it won't be much of a problem. Always be careful around his W, he can block your emp E and screw you over since your ferocity is down. Once he gets iE+ Zeal item + sustain his damage and dueling becomes insane, and you should only fight him then when you have around 2 to 3 completed items yourself. Exhaust works well if you feel you will need to slow him down in fights, else ignite also does the trick. Conqueror or HoB are good for the job.
”
Senpai Broccoli says “Unless a Yasuo is insanely fed, he wont be of too much harm to you. But still keep in mind that he can dish out more damage than the normal champion easily with a couple of crit items. His Windwall does not counter your auto attacks or your e which is all that you need damage wise.”
Itreallyhim says “Hasakeep inting.
Ult his nado, Kill him and tell him in allchat to stop playing yasuo.
Always try to rake him, he cannot windwall it.
Q Behind you if he E-s onto you.”
Rivenetto says “Dont fight level 1 and 2 becouse he is stronger.After level 3 he is easy.Just quick trade him whole time,all in him when he's low enough.Dont throw ur second cast of ultimate becouse he will windwall,just wait for that windwall and ult him.”
King Mcbean says “You can never land a stun because of how his windwall works, and he can dash away from any skill shot you try to get him with. Also it is very easy for him to close the gap and get in your face which is Xeraths weakness.”
LycheeMochigome says “Land your q and e, good yasuos will try to dash around in your minion wave. If you land q, you can wait a second for his q to expire so that you dont have to hit his shield, also your q damage procs by the time his shield is down. You win lvl 1-3 but not after 6 for sure if youre behind”
AkaiAsura says “Yasuo is not really a problem because GP is capable to destroy him in early, but a lot of depends on the player. This matchup is like 50/50.”
I Play Blitz Top says “In the off chance your fighting yasuo top, be happy cause you have won lane. Yasuo will almost never build defensive items so you wont even need tower for trades.”
OGIntel says “Yasuo is one of the few champs in the game that can beat you early. Fortunately, Yasuo top is rare. If you see the enemy team picking Yasuo top, either counterpick with Darius, or if they picked against you, just farm safely with E and poke if he stands in his minion wave. Once you hit 6 and get some items you can win the 1v1.”
SuperPopo7 says “when you hit a Q on him all in, only tricky part is trying to hit Q when he has windwall and dashes. So do not E in head first just Q and if you hit him then all in ”
ShinyEmo says “Dodge his knocking up Q with your Q and gg you win unless he is fed. If you have Guinsoo's, he can't even knock you up once if you can calculate his Q's and dodge them with your Q. ”
hephephepeEPEPE says “Yasuo is by far the easiest matchup if you buy ninja tabi and bramble vest he deals no damage to you and you can kill him any time”
Poljca2 says “You just destroy him. Only three things you must watch out: 1. If he gets ult before you, he can deal too much damage while "kiting" (dodging) your Q's. 2. Ganks. If he gets 2 successful ganks (2 kills) he will be able to outscale you (except if you farm more) 3. Late game. Yasuo is really powerful in late game so try to stack Hemorrhage on someone else and than apply all 5 stacks on him so you can ult him as fast as possible. The rest should be easy.”
AkenoSenpai says “A very annoying match up to the last minutes of a game. Yasuos windwall can easly block you E's and R with his windwall denaying you many stacks, which can easly render you useless. In lane phase its not THAT big of a deal as u can play around his cooldowns and mistakes he could possibly make. I have often hear people say "just bait his windwall" but to me it just really doesn't make sense as his windwall instantly blocks E and Irelia's stun has a cast time which leave yasuo with quiet a lot of time to react to it, so there is not really a need for him to panic. What you can try to do tho is making your E as small as possible so that you have a chance it doesnt touch the windwall (basically throwing your E twice on top of yasuo without moving your mouse really, or if he has already placed his windwall you can also try throwing it diagonally ”
lugzinho says “Bait his Windwall so he doens't block your Q and if you can, use your R into his nado to kill him.
He'll try to run away as fast as possible from your Q and since he can be pretty slippery even for Kled because of his E.
But if you get onto a fight with him in the early game you just outdamage him so hard because of your W.
PS: Randuin's Omen is a good buy into Yasuo.”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “Depending on how good the Yas is this lane shouldn't be too hard. He can not block your auto attacks with windwall since Thresh's auto attacks are instant damage not a projectile. You can also cancel his dash to you with a flay and hook him before getting hit by a Q to deny him from ulting. He scales incredibly well though so don't fight him alone late game unless you are ahead”
6MillionBreads says “Skill matchup, he can't WW your E which is most of your trade damage, but he has far more mobility than you. If he tries to E into your minions to Q trade with you try punishing him by using a short ranged E on him into W Q
Don't underestimate his damage though, even a shitty unfed Yasuo can shred you if your play is sloppy because Yasuo :/”
ForgottenProject says “Don’t die to him early
Get Tiamat and Ninja Tabis as soon as possible
Q minions with Tiamat to pop his Passive Shield
If he E+Qs you with his Tornado ready, Q behind yourself in order to land the stun”
Braddik says “This matchup should be free. Rush tabi first item and then the only way he can match you in damage is with an early BF sword, to which he ends up delaying his first crit item. Burn his shield then all in him and you'll win.”
Pedrokis says “É uma baita skill matchup, muito focada nos seus predicts. / Você deve tentar ver esse cara surfando com o E nas suas waves e posicionar seus Qs de modo que você vá parando ele e vá deixando com quase metade da vida ou algo assim. / Tenta usar o W com pouco range, deixando difícil pro Yasuo bloqueá-lo com a barreira do W, e longe da sua minion wave, pra que ele não saia dando E e acabe saindo da área de puxão.”
VahitcanT says “Easy and hard. If your enemy is a good yasuo player. He will be kite you to death just play safe on early and ult him and kill him on realm”
TheRevenantsHand says “As with the others, he will do a lot of damage to you since he is an AD crit champ. Use your R right as he casts his tornado so he can't use his ult in the death realm. Be careful of his early.”
Split King says “Just farm early and make sure not to fight him if he uses ultimate. The armor penetration will end you. Once you have ninja tabi and sunfire you can start dominating lane.”
BeautifulWinter says “I hate yasuo but he isn't broken. Try to bait his wind wall before throwing E as it will block it. His Windwall will however not block your Q or tentacles at all and you should be able to win if you land E when you have ult.
Use your Ult to dodge his knock up as it prevents his ult from going off.”
K1M0CH1 says “ poke him hard and just to him when he as no minon ez food take pink chroma pretty cat to make yasuo mains look down on u and fck him up good wait for his tornado to be out and poke him ”
ExfIamed says “He has the early game advantage cause his Q and E have practically no cooldown meanwhile ours both is 8 seconds, but you outdamage him and can kill him pretty easily, try to dodge as many Q's as you can though cause they add up and watch for his shield, DO NOT ULT WHILE HE HAS HIS SHIELD UP, ignite him first and wait it out and THEN ult if its a tight situation or just out damage it. Overall an incredibly easy matchup though.”
9690 says “Easy lane assuming Yasuo doesn't snowball on us. Respect his level 1 & 2 and you shouldn't have problems. We win after 2 and onward. All-in him at 6. Build tabi.”
Loevely says “Rengar favored despite the indirect buff Yasuo got with the new conqueror. Rush tiamat and use both its active and passive to keep his shield down throughout lane phase. Engage fights as early as level 2 or 3. Post 6 you can use your empowered W to cleanse his R. Any rune setup works. ”
numpadddd says “Whoever gets ahead wins, Yasuo has the comeback potential as he scales super hard, so watch out for ganks and be careful with his Tornados”
ENX Kai says “This ronin can be either easy to play against or super hard. One good trick is try to get into his Q range when he has 2 stacks and ready to throw you tornado, timing and E him with you so both of you will be knock-up this will make him unable to R on you after that destroy him.”
Luthy2278 says “He will lose trades because of your E, and after you hit level 6 you will dominate him. He has no way to escape you in your ult, unlike Zed's W or Ryze's ult, but he can waste your time by ulting you in your ult and escape afterwards with his minion dash (That happened to me alot of the times).”
LoganGarnett says “Same as Akali - lots of mobility vs none of yours. Having your shots ignore his windwall is great, not going to lie, but you won't be able to abuse the Support item against him. ”
LuxIsMyCrush says “try to trade him at low levels, when he put a point on E do not stay to close on your minions, also place shrooms when you think he will dash-go before next minion spawn”
Defensivity1 says “Before level 6 let yasuo push the wave in constantly try to dodge his tornados and keep some distance.
Once at level 6 you can look to all in yasuo with the maiden”
Wish7 says “His air barriers and wind wall really puts your strategy in halt if u trying to go for a penta.. But fret not because driving him to a tower gives u an advantage, if not u need some help. Solo tips is when u get enough AttSpeed you can win him.”
riveru shen says “Skill matchup, early game is harder, because if he is good he can soak a lot of your mana with a good windwall, most of the time they will run it down anyways, just take exhaust.”
mightydylan101 says “When you are against a yas top it is bad for you. If he's half decent he will be able to wind wall in time to block your poke and can dash through the minions easily to hit you. Be sure if you are against him not to stand in or beside the minions as he will kill you for it.”
ProgettoYorick says “Yasuo can become a problem only if (ONLY IF), he is one of those yasuo who knows how to use the E by not making meaningless laps, in early do not be hit too many times if you have too little life the top will be lost in a moment, I advise you to wait for level 6 you will destroy it.
Advice from OTP:
Yasuo with his E shot your ghouls.
Prioritize tabbi ninjas.”
Greekamol says “Easily outplayable. He can parry your w but that's it. just keep going for vitals and take extended trades as you win them all the time. Parry his tornado.”
Koulh says “Respeite o espaço dele se caso o Yasuo causar muito dano no inicio. Tente desviar dos seus tornados, use o W para se defender se caso for atingido e use sua passiva para causar dano nele junto com a marca da mãozinha verde.
Em uma luta direta, use o Q e o W para ficar ativando a passiva e causar muito dano.”
Nicoucha says “Borring matchup, if the Yasuo is bad you can win your Lane very quickly, but if he's a little bit good, he will just give you a beautiful KDA, 0/10.
// Matchup ennuyant, si le Yasuo est mauvais vous pouvez facilement win la Lane, si le Yasuo c'est jouer un minimum son champ, il va vous laisser un magnifique KDA, 0/10. (Il s'agit d'un des plus gros counter pick de Neeko)”
AutumnPumpkin says “Can Dive on top of you and you cannot do anything about them, so stay away from him late game. if you are facing him in lane, bully him ”
Siren Senpai says “Will try to trada and get you low as posible to win a lane so you need to play more passive. Mid/Late game yu can win against him if you have right items and havent fallen of with cs a nd Q stacks.”
Ze mentira says “Max: E-->W. Rune: PTA page.
start with doran shield, try finish bramble vest as soon as possible, then do Trinity Force and you beat him easily.
//Frozen heart and randuin are anothers good items to fight him.
”
BearRider says “Yasuo is not really counter for Shen. It is very hard to win farm, but when they are fighting, Shen is absolutely able to stop him. Building Titanic hydra and Randuin´s Omen is very effective. If you take exhaust, Yasuo will be zero and useless in teamfights.”
Pacal Votan says “Cloth + 4. Try to rush a FH amd doran blade for sustain. ignore him and AA to destroy his shield, and after that poke him with Q sometimes.”
Polkadog says “*sigh...* Everyone knows that everybody hates Yasuo players. Most of the time they have absolutely 0% clue of what they're doing if they're on your team, but once there's that one who has played only Yasuo since they began playing lol in the enemy team, they make you want to commit horrifying acts IRL. He can get out of your W, he can escape you even if you hit him with your E with your R up. His wall can SOMEHOW block your Q and after he has done that, he dashes into you, probably whispers in real life "hehe, *snorts* nothing personal kiddo" and just yeets you into the air and ult you and boom, you dead.
The only reason I wouldn't say that Yasuo is an extreme threat is that Yasuo is that character that everyone hates and when someone plays him and the player isn't socially challenged, they suck.
One super effective way to counter Yasuo is to taunt them and suddenly they have the urge to prove themselves to be "the chosen one" and that their 14k hours on Genji in OW and their 8th complete marathon of Naruto binge-watching have impacted their training. Yasuo players have practiced long the ways of the blade since they were a little boy when a horrible tragedy happened when they, players learned that they are...
LACTOSE INTOLERANT!..............
Just play safe, and avoid his whirlwind. Do not push the lane unless he has recalled or died. Never go too far in the lane in case there's a jg ready to gank you.
Your W is useless so pop your ghouls and throw E at it like trying to cleanse the embodiment of pure sin. ”
Chromuro says “We all know the reputation of yasuo mains and it's half true: you can find good yasuo that will do the impossible to push you under tower (succeding in it) or you can find some that belong to the dark side of r/yasuomains that will give you free kills. The windwall can block your E, it's the only thing you have to know; he moves to fast, try to hit him while he uses his Q without E.”
blunderr says “Yasuo can be a threat but he usually isn't, bait poking him with a Q so he uses his windwall and after he has used his windwall start poking. Dodge as many whirlwinds as possible and place shrooms where he usually walks so you get free damage. Be careful though because everything that goes through the windwall will disappear, yes even the shrooms. ”
EpicDan01 says “He beats you until you get Sunfire. Let him kill some of your minions before fighting to reduce his dashes and making sure your cleavers hit him.”
Poppu says “W counters his dash ability and mobility. Play around wave management and denying cs, make sure you don't spam W too much or he will outbait you. Good yasuos save tornadoes and EQ after you use W, then all in you when they ult. Build Randuin's to stop his scaling dmg.”
iUnderClap says “Even if you E his first (3rd Q) you would still get knocked up plus the decreased movement speed on your E gets you vulnerable for all ins”
Shady Zane says “Reason why I put Yasuo here is, cause you can poke him with Q and if he tries to dash at you.. Just use your E and he will take some damage and slow down.”
Petethebossch says “Can heavily pressure you early. Wait for triforce or jungler to fight him. Can max e. Can 3 shot him late game 1v1. Get bramble vest.”
PhoenixianSlayer says “He has good kill potential if you can't dodge his Tornadoes and can dodge all your skill-shots really easily. You can kill him, its just a lot harder to abuse him early on”
Lynboe says “Ce match-up est incroyablement désagréable quand le Yasuo adverse ne se surnomme pas Jean Hasagi. Afin de le battre vous devrez acheter des Tabi Ninja au plus vite car il peut très vite vous énerver avec des dash + proc du Conqueror.
Commencez avec un Doran’s shield afin d’éviter de prendre trop de dégâts dans les premiers niveaux.
Afin de gagner les trades il faudra le punir sur ses déplacements, en lui assénant un combo Q+W par exemple lorsqu'il commence son dash, souvenez vous que si vous activiez votre Q au moment ou il vous E dessus il se retrouvera en plein sur votre Hache. De plus votre niveau 6 est bien plus puissant que le sien, jouez donc autour de ça (agresser sur la transition niveau 6).
Mais le but principal lors de cette laning phase sera de placer les cs de manière à l'empêcher d’utiliser son E comme il le souhaite.
”
TheOsKaRoO says “You're most likely to have more damage than him, isn't considered a high level threat, can be hard to hit the edge of your Q due to his E dash.”
Jnewbringspain says “Not a bad matchup at all, you can keep up with his mobility somewhat, and Counter Strike puts the hurt on him. His Windwall is completely useless against you. Try to basic attack him every so often to pop his shield before using Empower to do real damage.”
messketchup says “If you face this guy top lane, just stick close to him, avoid his tornado and hit him a lot since Darius' passive is a bleeding device. You pretty much won that lane if you know what you gotta dodge. But other than that you will surely win.”
Devitt45 says “Yas plays right into you and you should win this pretty easily. Try to avoid his Q and try to stop him from farming. If Yasuo wants to trade with you, you can just run up to him with your Q then start spinning. He can only dash towards you, and his wind wall is useless. Just get Ninja Tabi and you will be fine.”
Jnewbringspain says “Engage at level 3. Your W and passive is extremely helpful in this matchup early on. Do you best to pick up a kill or two. After level 6, avoid that knockup at all costs, otherwise your defenses will be shredded and you'll lose the fight.”
M2 Jizu says “Atraviesa tu Q siempre, no le inicies con tu E.
Bloqueale sus ataques y Q con tu W.
No es muy complicado este matchup. lo unico "feo" que tiene es que Yasuo tiene muchísima movilidad entre minions.”
ColonelDukeMayo says “Yasuo is another one that can really punish you if you don't keep a strong eye on his Q. Watch for his ult and keep him at bay by keeping behind the minions. Take the extra mana and focus on hitting him with your Rupture. ”
CarlosTheSnail says “Really strong champion to be against. Both hard in early and late game cos of good trade mechanics and mobility. He will probably outscale you a lot early game, but if you make it to mid and late he will fall off a bit to you”
Lil Tidepod says “A very difficult champion to lane against in general, but magnified against Sion. He's excellent at dishing out big damage and being mobile enough to dodge any, and probably all, of your skillshots. Your best chance is to let him push into you and call for your jungler, as he can't dash to his own minions. Keep and eye on when the next wave comes in if you do decide to 1v1 him, because he'll likely be waiting for it to make some plays during the fight.”
Fnaf4powers says “Yasuo is a character with an absurd damage in basic attack or abilities. He is one of the most banished characters in the League of Legends”
TheMess says “6 flashes every minion wave and a wall who blocks all your dmg. He will fuck all your tf power and render you useless most of times. I recommend going for the critical build if hes in the enemy team. You wont land a single ult anyway, so...”
Tior123 says “The tornado man is no match for the true king of storms, yasuo gets countered by anyone who can outduel him early and Voli is very good at it.”
MoreLoliconThee2nd says “The only threat this guy deals is with his All-ins and dodging capabilities so that you can't hit your Q. Make sure that you wont let anyone with Ignite all-in you so that there are no problems.”
ImpossibleLogic says “Yasuo can be a slippery devil however you can out range and out poke him all through early game and if you don't manage to kill him before six don't worry too much as he will win most all in's (If not all of them) unless you can kit with your ult well enough.”
FunkySoul says “Battle of the cancers. This lane depends on your skill and Yasuo's skill. Really uncommon lane, however, as his wind wall is useless top.”
TechnoRenekton says “Avoid being poked by his Q. Look to basic attack then cancel animation with W. If far take his passive down with a dash. Has weaker 6.”
GrGamingTeo says “All that matters to this lane is to let him push while you relax and wait for him to make mistakes. You have to be patient because his passive, his e, his nados will help him run away from you. The next most important thing is to dodge all of his q's because that's where all of his damage comes from, ones you dodge his nado go for a q trade to waste his shield.”
DrMoneybags says “Most yasuos who aren't one-tricks are easy to deal with. You should be able to jump onto him and follow his dashes with E. Try to hit him with a point-blank Q to avoid it getting blocked by windwall. Your R makes you unstoppable, so you can ulti through his tornado to avoid getting knocked up and ulti'd by him. Truly good Yasuo's can be a bit of a pain, so be careful of them.”
Arcthunder says “You. Destroy. Yasou. Your E makes you extremely sticky, which is one terrible thing for Yasou. However, if you get past level 6 and you're dismounted, then be wary of the HASAGI!”
Big Boy Matty D says “Be slightly careful of his level 1 and 2. After that you should be able to beat him in trades with your W and E. If he dances round in your minions just literally activate W and right click him and go hands free. Post 6 he will look for 3rd Q tornadoes to knock you up and ult. If he's in kill range let him throw a tornado at you and ult through it. It will take him by surprise, you wont be knocked up and it will take him a while to get another tornado.”
kubsak26 says “Ban if u can. He is very hard matchup because of his movement and dmg. You need to be quick with your q and dodge tornado as well as you can. If you feel confident to fight him try to bulid omen wouldn't really recomend that but u can try.”
ARandomizer says “Normally Poppy can counter champions that have a dash ability, like Yasuo, Irelia, Riven, Jax, etc... but the only thing that makes Poppy do those is because she can out live them in a fight as a tank. But play her as an AD Yasuo can out damage you because of his critical chance”
OnionMilkshake says “Yasuo's can be slippery devils however you can out range and out poke him all through early game and if you don't manage to kill him before six don't worry too much he will win most all ins (If not all of them)unless you can kite with your ult well enough
(Recommended: Electrocute)”
Jomppe says “[General] Yorick can beat Yasuo, but it relies on being the better player(Neither has inherent advantage and both can burst the other quickly). A skilled Yasuo can beat a less skilled Yorick easily. It is best to melee poke him constantly with your Q before you all in him. Don't all in him unless he is low health and you will usually want your ultimate.”
Nio161 says “Beware of his Wind Shield. When you waste your E you are easy to kill for him. He can also dodge it and your tentacle very well with his E. You need Frozen Heart or Randuins to reduce his Attack speed and lower his crit.”
ApexDresden says “He's very slippery and he'll be able to poke you down using your minions, let him push and farm under your turret and when he gets a bit too cocky - as Yasuo's usually do - engage underneath turret with E + Q ”
ElleryTheViking says “You should win this most of the time. Rush Tabis and Thornmail. If you make it to here without feeding, the lane's over for him. You can still steamroll lane without these items, but if you throw your Q far away or he jukes it, he will out-trade you. Good thing is though post 6 your ult counters his ult while he's in the air mid ult, you're on the grounded still poking the hell out of him. ”
Samas says “Early game to late you will be stronger than him through the whole game. Unless you fail your abilities this will be onesided match up. Bully him early, zone him from the farm, make him cry for taking that thing into toplane.”
E61K says “One of the biggest issues Yasuo has against Darius is that his base stats are really low for a melee champion. Especially his base HP. Add to the fact that Yasuo is one of the hardest champions to truly play well (I am not making this up, that's a fact) and you got yourself a matchup that's easy for Darius. Don't get cheesed Level 1-2 as he actually wins at those levels if he manages to hit level 2 before you. Tabis into Phage give him nearly 0 chance to deal with you in lane. Punish him for trying to CS if he steps up too far and try to shut him down/win by mid-game as he outscales you. Late-Game, given that he itemized correctly, he will destroy your ass. Fortunately for you though most Yasuo players lack the patience and knowledge to actually scale up and then destroy. If you get a lead on him he should never come back into the game. Zone him off of farm and EXP. Don't get too light-minded though. You can get outplayed. If he is smart he will try to wait out the stacks to deny you from using a max damage ult. The likelihood of you finding a Yasuo who can play this matchup really well is extremely small.”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Crit based, High mobility, Consistent damage. Weaknesses: Hard to master, predictable CC, Auto attack/Q dependent. Not that hard of a matchup if you parry his whirlwind. You just need to keep in mind of the minion wave in this matchup. He has agency over the lane and when he wants to engage. You don’t want to be put into a situation where he gets on top of you or is trying to with 2 Q stacks up. If you do find yourself in a situation where he is coming towards you through a minion wave, hold your Riposte until he E’s on top of you or shoots out his whirlwind. If he E’s on top of you, Riposte immediately to prevent the knockup into ulti. If he shoots his whirlwind, Riposte and aim back at him. Keep in mind that his windwall does block the Riposte Stun projectile so he can block it once you reflect it back. Lastly, if he E’s on top of you and doesn’t Q and you already used Riposte, Q behind him or flash away so that you don’t get hit by the Whirlwind. Preventing him from using ultimate is the biggest key to winning this matchup. If you don't feed him early and avoid his Q pokes you should be set. If you fall behind however by taking a bad trade, he will be able to duel you incredibly well for a long time.”
Miracle Matter says “Yasuo perfectly counters Zileans kit in almost every way. The only way you ever beat Yasuo is by him being so greedy that he throws you free kills during desperate tower dive attempts (which you simply revive from.)
Even if so, you will never be able to 1v1 him because his Windwall vaporizes your entire combo. The only answer to Yasuo is to laneswap or farm under turret until you can group and out-teamfight him.
Note: He is rated a '9' because you can at least farm under turret versus him. Only Irelia is a true 10, until she receives meaningful nerfs. She is Yasuo if his dash had 600 range and one-shot you.”
NOH giel says “You can easily take the damage Yasuo puts out, yet while he is jumping around he is really hard to hit.
His windwall is a straight up hardcounter for your ult.”
Saiyan02 says “Just watch out for Yasuos tornado and you´ll be fine. This matchup is pretty even in my opinion. Try and get rid of his shield before you all in him”
MedicineBall says “Yasuo is a bit of a weird one now. Originally he was no threat at all to Kayle. Most of Kayle's new ranged attacks are projectiles now which makes Yasuo more of a threat. I need to test against him more though to say better or worse.”
Daniloooo says “Wait for his W (windwall) try to bait it. Hes prob gonna try to windwall your Q and then all in you. Dont let that happen. He can dash throu your minions super easy and give you hell. ”
TheNecromancerr says “Play safe until level 3. Then you can fight him easily. It would be good if you get early Cloth Armor and a Long Sword for instance, it will make it much easier for you since he is very squishy early on. Later he outscales you so try to stomp him completely.”
LordZeta1313 says “his W is useless in lane due to you having no projectiles and you can burst him rather easily if you get this form and he doesn't have his 3rd Q up ”
Vonhoons says “Extremely hard to lane against. He has arguably the worst ult in the game for you to steal so you've basically got no ult against him.
You win trades if all your CD's are up but after they go down you need to run away as he'll just kill you.
Play safe early and ask for ganks. Go Iceborn if he's killing you a lot.”
polarehare says “Shield V Shield except you can out trade Yasuo, but he can always dash away similar to riven, his mobility is derived from his abilities, not affected by your cc. Also, he's got gap closer, quiet the no-no. He isn't the same threat as riven as he is more Auto Attack reliant then her. ”
Trixelkour says “Just stay way back and poke with Grasp. Get plenty of HP since he melts armor anyways. Rush for Randuin's and Thornmail/Sunfire. Be cautious of his windwall, blocks your R2 as well. ”
Jiben says “While not impossible thanks to his e its really hard to get a knockup on him and his passive will negate any poking with q not impossible but a really hard lane. Just be carefull for when he hist 2 items as he will slaughter you even if you had a small lead before”
heyitsRainex says “Be aware of Yasuo's animation cancelling and E Q poke. But other than that, he's rather easy to kill. If he looks to all in you, stack up Fury and W the instant he engages.”
SirDeRp25 says “Dodge his Q by kiting in a circular motion. Bad Yasuo's will throw out Windwall when u walk up to them, bait this out and proceed to trade when it is down. ”
Beartrand says “Similar to Riven, Yasuo is a bit playful and moves a lot. But he relies on this tool (his E) to engage and disengage. If ever he engages you with his E, just shut him down with your own E followed by Q. After that it will be very hard for a Yasuo to even out the trade.”
Omega best says “You DESTROY him. Every single ability you have counters him, you hit him then flip him, attack him then roar and bite him and even tho you are low you have an op passive which will give you all your health, get an ohmwrecker, then rush him early, you will get fed ( unless if he his more fed than you which occurs very rarely ) Just be careful for ganks but still its possible for you to 1v2 if have passive and ultimate but still, play safe and build armor or ap, depends what he is building ”
Zachlikespizza says “A good yasuo will keep dashing around your q's, windwall your w, and then stick to you like glue. Just practice aiming your q's and you should be golden. Overall skill matchup.”
Coelinha says “Não lute perto dos minions//Sua principal skill contra Yasuo é o "W" Não erre//Não deixe ele te puxar pra debaixo da torre,ele ira Bullynar vc, Se ele puxar de all in nele// Ja matou um yasuo na espadada hoje?”
Skullsunderer says “Yas scares people but in all reality he is only scary because they don't know how to not feed and avoid him. After he dashes through a minion close enough for you to spin, do it, then auto/W/auto/E he will have no way to deal with it and can't escape the CC. If”
TheSuporter says “A good poppy will destroy Yasuo. You are one of the tankiest champions in the game which means he does no damage to you, you can block his dash with your W. And if he does somehow manage to get you low you can ult him away. Just watch your mana so you don't run out at a crucial moment.”
TheSuporter says “His passive shield is useless since you can e it away. He needs to get close to do damage and you can just shield through it and render him ineffective. Watch out for ignite though it will eat through your shield and stop you from healing with w.”
joelblack says “While uncommon, if you know for sure they're sending a Yas top, you better be ready for a fight. His wind wall completely fucks you and prevents you from poking and his mobility lets him jump your ass easy. The only way of tossing his ass early game is to juke him with your autos to make him put up his wind wall, then poking him with Q when it's down. As long as he's actually hurt, around 60% HP left, you can all-in him as Mega Gnar and kill him. ”
OrangeBeard says “His wind wall stops your e, (it counts as a projectile) so you have to ult him into the e, and make sure you get some early armour to fight him after your sheen to deal damage”
Ashnard says “Similar to irelia mathup, yasuo relies on minion waves for mobility. Freeze lane and zone him off. He becomes difficult to duel after phanton dancer, avoid sidelaning against him if possible.”
Dacnomaniak says “Probably my favorite match up. Your W prevents most of his mobility and building tabis and bramble vest and help a lot. Play very aggressive early game. But be warned, you will not be able to fight him if it reaches late game.”
galvapheonix says “ Yasuo's in any division are either very good, or very bad. A thing I've noticed when playing against or with Yasuo mains is they always like to go in no matter how behind or ahead they are. This game you want to build a Randuin's Omen after Sheen to counter his crit and attack speed. Anytime he uses his ult on you or a teammate, throw whatever ghouls you have at him.”
thedunkening111 says “Man, this guy can't even finish his Q when you Q him. You beat him fairly easy at level six. Just walk up to him and start fighting him. Tabis are really good here, and so is an early bramble.
Take Conqueror.”
kagaroo says “🔴Skill Matchup🔴
Threat Scale: 7/10
➡️Very similar to Yone matchup, however this one is a lot more skill dependant. Yasuo can weave in and out of waves better than Yone thus trading better against Trundle. If the yasuo is an otp/very skilled, Trundle will get completely outclassed in lane. However, if Trundle gets a lead he can snowball it very easily. Additionally, once Trundle has his Hydra he can play in waves and punish yasuo a lot more. Try to hold your ult and buffer it as Yasuo ults to maximise the value. If you ult too early he will just dash away.
➡️Rule of thumb:
Bad yasuo vs Bad Trundle ➡️ Trundle favoured
Average yasuo vs Average Trundle ➡️50/50 skilled matchup
Good yasuo vs Good Trundle ➡️ Yasuo stomps trundle.”
Haxorr says “A good yasuo can be really tough to deal with, as he has a good all-in and pushes waves easily into you. You outscale really hard so just don't die early, PTA or Grasp are both really good into him as you mostly want to be taking shorter trades once his shield is down. Be careful trying to parry his knockup as he can either e and hold q or eq into you, and he can windwall your parry anyway. Dodging qs is crucial in this matchup, else you're cooked. Start doran's blade ”
