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

star zall says “Hard matchup. I recommend the Veigar VS Mobile/ETC Build.”
Young Ryze says “Easy in mid, hard in top. You win this lane by having E proc always on him in lane (bounce from minions) so if he engages, you can just W him even if he uses windwall. When he uses windwall you have "prio" in lane to clear wave and roam or to punish him. Keep distance in lane.”

szkibs says “omega high skill matchup yasuo highly wins early leves if played well yone def is better as games goes ”
Soul0fghost says “Depends on the Yasuo a lot. Let him push and take good bone plating trades. After level 6 setup ganks and out scale. Going even is a big win.”

skruub says “D SHIELD Conq/Res He has the early game but You outscale hard asf. Play for farm and rotate! However its totally possible to stay in lane against him, dodge Q3s and take small trades if he takes LT.”
KAYN MID by skruub | Kayn Player
Makilov says “[[Yasuo]] [[steel tempest]] kills your entire pack if it hits you, on top of the knock up it does. His [[wind wall]] prevents you from poking him often. His [[sweeping blade]] dashes close the distance quickly leading to trades you can't win early with his shield passive. He is more killable than the others, especially with [[Serpent's Fang]] but it depends on player skill as usual. Any rune build works depending on your playstyle.”

Soul0fghost says “Ahri's Hardest matchup. Let him push into you and don't trade when his passive is up. Try to predict where he is dashing to land Charm and Q. Don't charm if wind wall is up. Don't play for push you will just lose. You are stronger in skirmishes and need ganks. Also always run through the Jungle to get away. PLAY AROUND BONE PLATING”

procatking says “Conqueror, ignite,D blade, take rune NO.2. *Favorable for pantheon* THE FIRST WINDI BOY. remove his passive shield before engaging, you're stronger then him but respect his DMG and Q3. you can freely all-in him if u poke him to half health with your Q. u can stun him right before he E-Q3 u so he wont plip u up and after level 6 his ult will almost always spawn him behind your back so Aegis Assault(E) it if u can react to it. (he can bait your E this way so Pay attention).”

EueAmor says “Embora ele tenha a Parede de Vento, o seu E e a sua Ultimate passam por cima de barreiras, o que o pega desprevenido. Dica: Quebre o escudo passivo dele com um ataque básico antes de usar seu combo de penetração.”

ELODUNG says “Skill matchup, vyvaruj se mu early a lvl 11 ho prescaluješ, dodguj Q na bait dopředu dozadu, později ho prostě přejedeš na open space na mobilitu. runy: fleet nebo first strike (není ho tak těžký proknout),máš do něj easy poke. ”

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

doomfallover says “this lane is tricky but its mostly garen sided bait his ult and escape as soon as you can after that you pretty much win since he lost his win con”
Garen Guide for 1Mxxd by doomfallover | Garen Player
CurSteel says “Electrocute/grasp. Play for short trades, you always lose long trades no matter what. If you do that and he isn't a good player he will just lose all his hp in no time and it's easy life until 3 items. Care about wave state as if he can freeze the wave it's very hard for you to play. You can R his Q tornado. He outscales sidelane similarly to yone. This lane is very volatile and mechanically intensive, focus is mandatory and mistakes are not allowed. Play with your team to kill him if he doesn't missplay. Exhaust is viable. I generally prefer playing defensively and building tabis before eclipse if I have 1200g base.”
Dragonlord1022 says “Fleet Footwork Bone Plaiting D Shield → Refillable → Sunfire → Plated/Swifties or D Shield → Refillable → Plated/Swifties → Tri Force - Yasuo is like Irelia, your wave might work against you a lot of the time. - Wave manage such that he's stuck pushing into you early. - Yasuo E - Travels a fixed distance, at max range the animation ends right on top of your model. - Stacks to deal double damage by 4th cast in short amount of time. - Yasuo R, will not place him in tower range if you're knocked up on the edge. If you're at risk of getting hit by Q3, either play to dodge or be relatively far underneath the tower. ”

DemicleasTTV says “3 Q > E MAX Skill matchup, you outscale but he becomes very annoying if he goes BORK. He cant really ult you easily because of your passive so just go for short trades. ”

Saneryus says “Skill M.U. Early levels, if he's semicompetent you won't have early priority unless he misses his Qs. Early levels, play to let him shove and hold the wave as long as possible on your side. When the wave is on his side, just stay in range to soak XP since he can run you down. This match up is all about spacing/kiting. **Windwall - his windwall prevents projectiles as everyone knows. This means he can block both your E and ranged autos. HOWEVER, Kayle autos are coded differently based on the distance that you auto. If you auto ranged distance, they are ranged projectiles. IF you auto in melee ranged, they are no longer projectiles and you can actually auto yasuo even if he windwalls if you stand in melee range. - Standard PTA - DBlade / Cloth armor (if you think you'll be dove level 3 against ad enemy jungler) - Q Max - Flash/TP or Exhaust/TP”
PokeRoyal2007 says “Same as Yone, but he can cancel your E with his W, so try to bait him. Don´t all in him if he has the shield active, try to poke it out first.”
Meta Irelia Top Guide by PokeRoyal2007 | Irelia Player
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.”
