Marlonrank1 says “Pretty bad matchup if hes an otp lvl 1 u win if he doesnt start e otherwise respect him. can windwall ur charm and just destroy u”

Deylan says “Aery/FS Laning phase: Abuse him early and try to poke him down as much as you can. Q Q Auto with aery is enough. try to trade with him at max range and then retreat as if he ever get mele range he can deal a lot of dmg. he control your bubble with his W so you need to outplay it. Mid/Late: mid game and on dont fight him 1v1 in minions at all he can one shot you. look for bubbles thru walls and play with team.”
Rainbow hater says “Runes: Aery Build: Standard Reasoning: 1. windwall makes it difficult to land e onto yasuo and he can use it mid to late game to help his teammates too. 2. mobile with e makes it difficult to aim q and e onto him but, his e movement locks him into animation giving you a short window to e him before he can w. 3. Zoe passive goes through windwall and zoe can curve her q around the wall. Lane: If he starts e lvl 1, you also start e and bubble him if he gets on you. If he starts q, you also start q. look to slow push him and keep poking him with autos and short range q when he comes to cs. After lvl 3, do not use ur e until he uses his windwall or is locked in his e dash animation. Dont stand next to minons and kite him as he dashes forward. If he wastes his w the matchup becomes much easier and you can play more aggressive. Side laning is difficult against yasuo”

kekseres says “He can block your Q and Ult. He can even block the Q while it's in AIR (dagger is falling). You don't win trades since he has a passive shield and he can space you out easily in minion wave. Can only kill at lvl2/3 with AD Kata if you feel confident. AD better for 1v1 because he will not block your autoattacks. ”
EndexGod says “His windwall blocks your Q and be careful of his E as he can dash through the wave onto you if your E is on cooldown.”

BCota says “annoying mosquito champ, just try to not take extended trades or walk into his E range behind a minion, if you do take a trade focus on dodging his Q”

Deylan says “conq + dblade start Buy serphent 2nd if enemy have even 1 small shield. early play around grass q and take short trades with electrocute. later on be SUPER carefull of his 100-0.”
Spaceturtlez says “The harder of the wind brothers as his shield makes short trading harder. You can max W against him and go for longer trades if you are confident you can dodge 1-2 Qs in melee range (it is possible). However, I recommend if you are not that confident to max E and do short trades, pop shield with Q. Take scorch if you want to really grief bone-plating, but an auto + W also procs both. Standard runes + Ignite”
j4ss says “Start trades with passive and finish with Q+E for both avoid over extended trades or to chase. Not hooking him immediatly can bait him into using his W too early, punish that. Plated steelcap rush and start sunfire with Chain Vest. he is very easy to punish with ganks, so call your jungler to bait his attempts to trade and forces his windwall. having your defensive items will allow you to save you important cooldowns.”

Corzn says “Yasuo stands for ALL melee fighter champs. These struggle to find a way to reach Zoe to outtrade her. As long as you dont get hit by important spells like for example Yasuo Q3 you should be fine against these type of lane opponents and win your lane pretty hard. Take Aery or First Strike into these type of matchups. Aery being way stronger for the lane.”

Tips Against Yasuo in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

ObiW says “He is dangerous at Levels 1-2 due to his mobility and Q poke, so play passively. Once you hit Level 3, you dominate him. Rule #1: Pop the Bubble. Always use a quick Tap-Q or an auto-attack to break his Passive Shield (Flow) before you commit your W stun. If you jump while his shield is up, you lose significant damage. Serpent's Fang is excellent here to neutralize his passive resets and Immortal Shieldbow.”
PoEs_tk says “care lv1 if he has exhaust , try to chill and then all in at level 6 , its better to fight when there aren't many minions”

Claude Rains says “You can win vs him pre lv 3 pretty easy (make sure if he takes LT to not all in / take to much dmg early on, you win level 2/3 thought if you poke him to 80% ish. After that you definitly need mobility to not get all in'd. Tabi rush dorans blade start sheen and prolly 1600g zhonya item will help you a lot, delays your progression if you screw up and you may end up stuck if you dont win it with a lot of armor and not enough dmg to kill others, so be carefull here!”
Nidalee Top by Claude Rains | Nidalee Player
TENSION019 says “Grasp, Doran Shield, Flash and Ghost. Once you buy an armor item, the Yasuo matchup becomes easy. Just be careful when there are minions around, since that is basically his entire mobility system.”
The River King by TENSION019 | Tahm Kench Player
zwartebliksem says “Flash + Ignite Very skill based matchup, but I would say it's Kled favored ever so slightly. You have better sustain and damage, but he has a lot more outplay potential. Before you go in, look to destroy his passive shield with your Q. Make sure to land your E onto him, so you can chase him while he dashes around.”

G Experience Requem says “Just annoyng mathchup, stay kareful is Yasuo is good. Windwall denies your fast poke potential, try to hit him with Q”

Inting Briar says “Hey man.. That was my ult. Honestly, the worst part about Yasuo is him always blocking your ult. Dodge his knock up and be nice to your jungler.”

TemoOnlyIfOK says “GOOD BAN (If more popular top) Frequency: 3.5/10 Annoyance: 10/10 Difficulty: 10/10 Summs: FLASH TP Runes: SPEED/DAMAGE/SUSTAIN WHATEVER, IT WONT MATTER IN LANE SUSTAIN should be your best bet O2: YES Strat: Well you cant use any of your skills because of his Windwall. His passive blocks your poke, if you ever get to hit him. You cant farm under tower because io his Windwall. You cant hide in the wave, because he can E infinitly i guess. You cant stand back because his Q3 is huge. You cant build HP, because he rushes BORK You cant build armor, cause his R shreds it He feels like a lab-grown counter to my play-style, I dont ban him, as he is not popular in top and is only ever really picked into Teemo as a counter. When the Jungler is unclear for the enemy, you wont see him nearly as much as counter ( I bring out the Malphite if I ever see this thing blinded). The only thing to do is wait, get xp, outscale and dont die, as he snowballs way too hard for you to contain. Maybe build MALIGNANCE first so you can at least farm a little bit, while somewhat safe RANDUINS is one of the few counters you can build into him later.”

wizliam says “TOP - similar to Yone (obvi) but his E is a problem and your speed can dodge his Q.”
