Tips Against Yasuo in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 “Basically this matchup is just about not getting cheesed lvl 2 when he is stronger than you or fighting him when his passive is up. Play safe till lvl 3 and then take a good trade against him in ur E when his passive shield is down. also when you go to 3rd q him try to hit him with Yones body instead of the nado, he can windwall the nado but not ur body which is key in this matchup. Yasuo will beat you if he has his passive up and the minion wave is good for him bc he can easily chase you down. Take Conq with boneplating and overgrowh or shieldbhash. Start Dblade. ”
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.”
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.
”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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!”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 in front of your tower and wait for ganks or just scale up safely.”
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. ”
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 “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.”
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

Windwalls our ult, I hate this guy.
You win pre-4, 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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 “Electrocute ignite and corrupting potion. 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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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 Q on him first so that it is easier to land your W, and don't engage when he has his tornado Q up. Steelcaps is good into him as well since his Q counts as a basic attack.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 to 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 this windwall can block your combo so only all win if this ability isn't up. 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”
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.”
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.”
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”
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. ”
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.”
Saddest says “Do not get hit by Q's, and avoid getting knocked up. If you get R'ed, try to E away. You can win trades in the early game, just use your E to get extras autos in. (This is if you're running conqueror).”
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.”
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).”
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.”
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.”
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”
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. ”
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 “Use either HOB or Electro with Prowler's. 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.”
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.”
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.
”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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, if he doesn't get fed.”
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.
”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.
”
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? ”
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.”
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 :)”
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”
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).”
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.”
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.
”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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...”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
Aht3ns says “Yasuo wins against Mundo. Airbornes are a counter to Mundo's tenacity, and Yasuo has a lot of them. Yasuo can also build bork which is scary. Just sit back and try to stack armor and throw cleavers at him to disengage if he goes on you.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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 “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”
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.”
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”
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.”
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”
Aramigo says “Yasuo kann durch seine hohe Mobilität gefährlich sein und in Teamfights muss man darauf achten, dass er Eure Ultimate nicht blocken kann.”
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”
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”
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. ”
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.”
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. Electro lets you punish him but phase rush 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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.
”
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. ”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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”
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”
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!”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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 !”
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. ”
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”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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 “HoB/Sword. Extremely 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 massively in a straight up fight, 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. Though you can't set up kills against a good player, HoB forces him to respect you and not stick around autoing. It is therefore highly inadvisable to take another keystone. If he tries to go for an extended trade, your combo will kill him from 90% health with a full shield. I've been reliably first blooding this champion with this new build. Yasuo is at his most mobile and dangerous while your creeps are running into lane, so take care whlie they are if you fall behind. Seeker's is always a very good idea since his ult shreds armor, so if you're even or behind make sure to snag one. 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 and unleash the blender. Remember that you must land your E before proccing HoB. 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. You land that E and you have that Seeker’s, you’ll win and leave him scratching his head. Yasuos will always commit for the kill and won’t retreat until it’s too late to escape. ”
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”
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.”
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”
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 ”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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

”
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,”
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”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.
”
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”
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.”
Fhizzikx says “This really depends on how good this Yasuo is and how good you are. Although its not a skill matchup, it really depends on if any of you know what you're doing. Keep in mind that your r goes through his windwall and his windwall can block your q w e. Try to bait out his windwall with a split q and if he windwalls there you can follow up with a w e r. Don't try to knock him up if he is around minions because he can easily dodge your abilities. Learning how to lane against this champion takes time and you will get better with time. Also don't get close to minions as he can dash dash auto q auto dash dash windwall and you can't do anything about it. This matchup you have to play safe and be patient until he messes up and you will have to capitalize on it.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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. ”
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. ”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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!)”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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”
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 ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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!”
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. ”
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.”
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 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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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 “A good yasuo is a 10, a bad yasuo is a 1. This champion can be so good at shoving and poking you early. It can also be really good at tanking easy turret shots in the hands of a noob. You ult him in teamfights and you should lock him down. Farm lane if you are allowed, else try to get your jungles help. Can start corrupt pot.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.
”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 .”
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!”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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. ”
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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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”
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”
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?”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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).
”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
