Tips Against Yasuo in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
WarwicksSimp says âYou should win this matchup fairly often unless enemy jungle just wins lane for Yasuo which can happen easily and often. Track enemy jungle movement if possible.
As you get tiamat you can win this match pretty often as it helps vs his passive if hes near minions to q you. Exhaust is optimal here. Most difficult part about this matchup is hes super easy for his jungle to gank you so being camped by enemy jg is usually gg. Make sure to bully him and use wave management to your advantage. REMEMBER TO Q OR R WHEN HE Q3'S TO CANCEL THE KNOCKUP!!! VERY IMPORTANT YOU CAN Q THROUGH MINIONS TO HELP THIS TOO.â
FrostbiteMW says âHard to play against him since he dashes around alot and can dodge all your skillshots. His W is also annoying since he can block your Q or E. Just try to play safe early and dont trade alot. After 6 just push him in with your R.â
Tokiyami says âSkill matchup its yasuo favored early game until you hit lv 6 because his windwall counters half your kit and he can just deny you so much damage. Also his flow shield early makes it hard to trade with him. Just survive with him early and you can all in him.â
FlopQueenEra says âYasuo is a highly mobile champion who can easily dash through minion waves and engage or disengage from fights. Sona, on the other hand, lacks mobility and can struggle to escape Yasuo's aggressive engages, and can block your Q and Ultimate with his windwall.â
Lindroganti says âDon't fight level 1 outside of q pokes. Can maybe fight level 2. Hard win 3 onwards. Don't let him touch the wave and he can't ult. Use your shield for free trades.â
stormraided says âVery easy if you know how to fight him, take Conqueror. Just bait out his W by throwing out your W, your W cooldown is shorter than his W so you can hit him. When you land both your W procs you can Q and proc your passive, when you're done walk back if you don't have enough damage to kill him. Do not wiggle to dodge his Q, since his hitbox is quite bigger than you think just wiggle a bit and walk in a straight line.â
support_diff says âYasuo outfarms you and you can't hit your E on him if there are minions nearby or if there weren't minions, he can still windwall it. Yasuo can also windwall your ultimateâ
Fuzzmonkey says âDodge his Q tornado, and try to punish him for making dashing mistakes. Don't let him block your Q with wind wall, this cuts your damage in half. Bait it out first before fully committing. â
Shark of Void says âIt is impossible to win, he uses your dogs to kill you, he evades your skills with his W and E, just keep afk farming under your tower and rely on the team.â
Wraithlander says âLike Yone, quite a difficult matchup if he takes ignite as his dueling power and straight up damage are quite high. Good Yasuos will space you completely by E ing through the wave so just wait until he mispositions or has no Q stacks to trade.â
sullyyylol says âMISERY
I go ex/ig and rush bork so I don't mental boom from his wind wall.
You can kill him going ap but you have to be conscious of his windwall and your q usage.â
LewisBlawk says âI swear when Yas goes full ADHD Eing through minions and you ult, the ult can't keep up with Yas E. But anyway take Precision Rune route builds and TAKE NOTE of where he's E'd to so you know if you can shuffle without him Eing through your wall. Make sense?â
kirellkekw says âwill give up a fight if he knows what his w does. considering his popularity in low elo this should be your permaban if you are below diamond. â
Hakuanivia says âEverfrost goes through windwall. Keep wave close to tower unless you are resetting. You never kill each other solo unless one of you makes a mistake. TP a lot more reliable in this match up.â
tangerrine says âA snowbally champion, but fine if he doesn't get fed. Run Electrocute always, as you can just burst him down if he tries to E you. Good yasuo's will try and block it with windwall, but you can just W away from it and bait him in further. Whenever his passive shield is up. give him a little auto attack to cancel it, and then you can use your combo when it's gone. Dodge the tornado, especially post 6, and you will win lane easy. Late game, just make sure he gets cc'd and he won't get a penta and mega scale.â
nezumiichi says âPoke from range to eat his passive shield, then bully. I prefer to go against Yasuo's in game (personally) because the matchup is fun and relatively easy.â
Tanginid says âYasuo easily devours your skills with the wind barrier, so try to use your poke until he spends the barrier, if he spends it, it's easy for you to kill him if he doesn't cut all your skillsâ
Aquanis says âTry to proc his shield everytime it's up.
Respect his movement, so don't stand too close to your minions.
Try to poke him as much as possible and punish him, if he wastes his q or w, as they are the only real threats to you.â
TheFakeMord says âHis windwall is a bit annoying , but same as yone, keep him in melee range and its easy. With ghost you can even weave through his Qâ
Just_Invalid says âEasy to dodge the Q3 due to its travel time if you are further away and your move speed. Be careful of his wind wall blocking your E in your combos as well as blocking your ult since it technically counts as a projectile.â
serrafim says âWindwall blocks your Q, his laning is better, he scales better, etc. Play for roams, and for your team instead of for laning phase. Poke out his passive shield if you want to engage or poke. â
whaz says âskill matchup, bait out his wind wall and win the lane babe!
ALWAYS let him push
pretty easy if the yasuo only windwalls in front of him, you can bend your paddle star and finish him offâ
Poca31 says âFor threats go look at any proper Twisted Fate guide. I don't like anyone who builds tanky items. Yasuo spesifically stands out thanks to his Wâ
Zero macro says âYasuo mobility (E/R) through minions combined with stat check is unavoidable for Kog'Maw mid. Thereby Yasuo can windwall Q/W/E from Kog'Maw as well. Recommended to take Exhaust in this match up.â
DepresedEef224 says âSuper easy. Your Q is longer than his so poke him down and when he engages, stun him. When you hit 6, dodge his tornado with your ult so he can ult you.â
AngeReaper says â(This is a tank guide)
YOU DON'T LIKE BRUISER
Playstyle like an Assassin, and stick on him, take your Grasp as a mini Electrocute with 4 sec CD and give you sustain then escape but stay healthy until lvl 3
NO LONG FIGHT if they have letal tempo (99.9% of time. if not, that a noob, or BIG PRO, find out )â
Actt says âHe wins extend fights by a lot even with Conqueror and his passive protects him for First Strike and Electrocute set-ups. Conqueror and Ignite with Long Sword 3Pots.â
shisho_kawaleraa says âJust waste his W and you will be fine, bait that u will trade with him so wastes it and after that u can trade for a short period of time.â
Braimyy says âProbably Asol's easiest match up, Yasuo can't do anything against asol if you play it properly (his windwall also does not block any of your abilities) Just keep your wave in a good spot, don't let him freeze, get vision to protect yourself from dives, and take the free winâ
Hot Eboy Xerath says âYas is a hard matchup with his dashes and early shield. biggest tip is stun him when he tries to dash toward you in your minions. They are fairly predicable with this. dont try to throw to many w q if he is in your mininon wave becuase he will dodge it with e. poke them when otuside the wave let him push in. Go cometâ
Waqql says âNothing you should be afraid of. Avoid getting hit by his Q and be aware that he can dash through minions. Once Hulk - uh, Mega Gnar is ready, engage. Try to keep him in one place and unleash your combo. He should quickly try to flee to a minion.â
IggyBoom says âIf you have half a brain, you just run him down. He has like no way of killing you. You can Dodge all of his Qs and you interrupt his E while W knockup.â
freuio123 says âYasuos Windwall blocked ALLE Skills von dir.
Mit Dshield Second Wind outsustained er dich in Lane.
Du musst ein wenig hoffen, dass er low IQ ist und immer wieder tradet statt wave zu spielen.
Ansonsten kannst du dich nur etwas eindrĂŒcken lassen, gucken, dass du immer wieder Damage auf ihn kriegst nach Lost Chapter und mit scalen.â
ITSHOT says âFound out a lot of people struggle against Yasuo on Veigar
Try to stay away from your minions
Try to farm and wait for the jungler
Pay attention timing your Eâ
SatanicWren says âHe is Yasuo alright... Play super passive early and farm as much as possible. He isnt bulky so starting mid-game your AA can usually 1-2 shot him. â
Anguish333 says â- Q whenever he goes for Q on minions
- Dodge his Q
- Wait out his Windwall if possible, so he doesnt block our Q and E
- E whenever he E on You
- If he doesnt have windwall he is freekill most of the time
- Don't walk up far away if you dont have Shroud, he will just run you down unless you are giga strongerâ
NickLeVlach says âOk....ok. Just ban him. I prefer to have fizz on the lane. I found Yasuo to be completely aggravating to deal with. Baiting his wind wall is extremely hard since your E animation isn't fast.â
AdrikN says â(bait out wind wall) it can block most of your abilities. He also has a free shield to block poke so try to stay far from the minions. Bring exhaust or ghost.â
Zeusman00 says âVery hard matchup, he can very easily dash and dodge your Q's, even when he is extremely behind he can still be incredibly strong and oppressive, sometimes if he pushes the lane under your tower, you can run him down if you manage to get a good Q of and his wind wall is down.â
uwuimsocute says âIf he knows what he is doing, it is not playable. His champion as a whoie counters you.
Consider dodging this matchup since he can snowball really hard from a little lead in your lane.â
Unfortunate 7 says âsame deal as yone, easier to lane into but his wind wall just fucks your damage output late game, cant teamfight well if hes goodâ
VrNtv says âSame as every other ADC, Jinx get's countered by Yasuo thanks to his windwall and an ability to dash through minions winning any close engage. You can't really disengage yourself, throwing traps below yourself is pretty much all you have. He scales really well and his early game is not bad thanks to lethal tempo and low Q cooldowns, so just try not to die and scale. Play safe on your side of lane. The only thing you can really do is play aggro lvl 1 since he can't really contest early cs, poke him hard, then slow push cannon wave and recall. The second he is level 2 he is a threat to you and as long as there are cs between you, he can try to all-in you.â
Angryappleseed says âRUSH STEELCAPS, maybe even GA.
U can bully and poke him a lot in lane and try to bait out his windwall. When he hits 6, respect him more, as he can easily 1 v 1 you. â
YoungSto says âHe can windwall your ult shurikens which prevent you from stacking
W when he walks into waves,
if he walks up in mQ range, he loses.
â
Painters says âSkill match up. Your E is not blocked by his windwall; but somehow your R is. Do not stand by minions, since this will allow him to dash to you with ease. Poke him down and keep your distance, and you'll be good.â
Y0rhm says âYasuo's W completely negates 60% of lux's kit, including her passive and 2 out of 3 damage abilities. Yasuo's passive and Immortal Shieldbow's shields make it very hard to oneshot him. Permaban status.â
MrMeem45 says âYou kind of just have to waveclear against him and hope that your team doesn't feed him. The matchup gets much easier around level 5, when you can effectively clear the wave from a distance. Still, he's going to make landing cards really difficult.â
Enderspider says âwindwalls your W. Pain.
If you wait out his w though, he's not that hard of a matchup as your damage is still too overwhelming for him.â
quinn adc says âWith Yasuo, you must be extra careful with your minions especially. Yasuo wants the lane to be frozen in front of his tower so that he can pressure you in your minion wave and dash through them to punish you.
First, it's important to save your E always because if you waste your E, Yasuo will dash onto you and all-in you.
What I like to do is use blind on Yasuo in lane, and most times Yasuo will use his windwall to block your Q. However, this is amazing because his windwall is a very long cool down. Our goal is to pretend that we wanna all-in, and then when he wastes his windwall, just play back until it goes away.
Our vault has prio on Yasuoâs E, so if he Es onto you, just retaliate with vault always.
Watch out for his empowered Q tornados by using your move speed to dodge it, or out run it by playing a little bit back.
After level 6 itâs critical not to get hit by his tornado to avoid his ultimate hitting you.
If Yasuo ults you, instantly retaliate with vault and run away. Most Yasuos will windwall after, but make sure to quickly E-Auto before he windwalls so that you get your harrier move speed mark consumed before his windwall blocks your auto.
If Yasuo ever wastes his Windwall or misses his empowered Q, retaliate with an engage because he relies on those two moves to win trades.â
Cryniu says âFocus on poke him slowly, use your basic attacks to negate his shield. Use your bombs slowly because he can block them with his wall of wind. Your E is very important, use it to keep your distance when he approaches to you. It's very important slow him or speed up to yourself to run. When your jungler is coming you can use Super Slow combo, remember that his wall of wind doesn't work against your E.â
WelcomeToLosersQ says âplay smart and you can win, stay out of attack range and proc Yasuo shield when it is up. Play around his wind wall and you should win lane. It is all about positioning thoughâ
EueAmor says âYasuo is very strong in the laning phase and if he gets a space he eliminates Miss Fortune very easily and he has the ability that blocks the ultimateâ
TB Azir says âİrelia benzeri inanılmaz zor olmasa da çok da kolay olmayan bir matchup. Yenilmez veya Aery girerek oynuyorum. Bazen Comet tercih ettiÄim de oluyor. BaĆta da dediÄim gibi İrelia benzeri bir matchup ve oynarken lane'i tutmanız gereken yer İrelia'ya karĆı oynarken lane'i tutmanız gereken yerle aĆaÄı yukarı aynı. Push atmayıp biraz daha wave'i ĂŒstĂŒnĂŒze alıp Yasuo'nun play imkanını kısıtladıÄınız takdirde çok zorlanmazsınız. Bu arada ufak bir trick: Yasuonun çift Q yaptıktan sonra ĂŒstĂŒnĂŒze E-Q ile atlayacaÄını sezdiÄiniz zaman ultinizi tam atlarken castlerseniz siz aırborne yediÄiniz anda yasuo'da aırborne yemiĆ oluyor ve ultisini size kullanamıyor. Ăzellikle bunu yaparken rakibi kule altına da attıysanız flashı yokken yasuonun agresif play'ine karĆılık hiç yoktan bir kill potansiyeliniz olmuĆ oluyor.â
Allyooops says âHis windwall/bone plating/d shield sustain make this matchup very hard. He will go sb and make this matchup even more unplayable. He outscales you and his windwall blocks your R. Bait out his windwall/bone plating and go first strike because a good yasuo will never lose this matchup. â
South Z says âJax naturally counters Yasuo thanks to his E, but don't forget that Yasuo's skill ceiling is high enough to outplay you, especially in the early levels !â
The Unshackled says âHe's got an advantage pre-lvl3. After that it's a pure skill matchup. Try to bait him into a river fight as he's much weaker there (he can't jump around you on like a monkey)â
vxnity says âTry and proc shield whenever you can. Use your W movement speed to help dodge his Q3. Zhonya's is a good second item for him. I personally like Liandrys against him because the burn can proc his shield.â
Boptimus says âCan be very annoying levels 1-2 with Q spam and E dash spam. Remember to hold your E for whenever he tries to dash onto you and you can force a stalemate. Once you get Lost Chapter you can harass him with Q's. NEVER use your R unless he just recently used wind wall. Play away a bit from your minion wave so that if he wants to all-in you he can't use your wave to maneuver around. You can usually disengage his all-in and sustain back up unless he let yourself get in lethal range.
If he doesn't build MR then he will get nuked after you finish your first item.â
Boptimus says âYasuo isn't as bad as Yone but can still be a problem if played poorly.
Again you don't want to take extended fights and you want to keep trades short. Once you have a significant amount of Armor Yasuo will have a hard time chewing through you. Keep up your CS and if Yasuo takes too many bad trades you can all in him with R.â
P1Legend says âIm going to copy paste this for both Yasuo and Yone because the matchup actually plays the same for both champions. Be aware of his third Q, because this is usually when he will follow up on the trade with either ult/ dash engage. If he misses third Q, you can take this as a chance to trade with him. In Yasuo's case specifically, you can cleanse the airborne status by using empowered W, making him unable to ult, so keep this in mind for when he tries to ult you.â
darkezmond says âIt depends on how strong Yasuo is against you, if it's a stupid Yasuo, then auto-attack him to remove the shield and poke with your Q for more damage, avoid him with your E, for more efficiency you can take ignite. If this is a strong Yasuo, then stand under the tower and try to poke him with your auto attacks and Q, wait for your jungle for pressureâ
ardizzle says âPress the Attack and Exhaust are going to be your lane winners here. Anticipate when he is going to commit and you should walk away with an extra 300 gold.â
Glitchgun says âThis match up is really annyoing if the Yasuo knows what he is doing. You can't really go full out on him, since he just can block all your feathers with his windwall. Just play safe in lane. You have good wave clear, so look out for roams if killing him is impossible. He is my perma ban atm cuz his winwall ruins everything.â
BlakC1 says âSkill Matchup. If you struggle, ask jungler for a gank so you can get ahead and just farm up until your 2 item and 1 amp tome powerspike.
â
EL ZUDO says âskilled matchup dodge q's play safe till 6 and u can kill roam to help team but be careful to push wave before doing it and most of the times it must be a canon so u dont loose too many platesâ
Caganos says âYou eat him up. His passive shield is destroyed by your Fury W and you will always one shot him in mid game. Yasuo mid is a wet dream for a sexual predator Renekton.â
lolkayleee says â[Conqueror/Grasp + Trinity]
[Ignite/Flash + TP]
Start W. Don't trade lvl 1 or 2. Level 3 just W him to remove the shield and hookshot onto him. You can R his tornado to prevent him from ulting you. Take short trades. Lethal Tempo is op in Season 12.â
1Yamato1 says âNĂŁo faça trocas longas lv1, se o yasuo nĂŁo tiver W use seu W no Q3 dele caso contrario apenas desvie. Se ele usar E+Q3 em vocĂȘ use seu W para tras.â
epic blitz top says âALL PLAYERS UNDERESTIMATE YOUR DAMAGE. BUT YASUO PLAYERS ARE A DIFFERENT STORY. THEY ALMOST NEVER BUILD DEFENSIVE ITEMS UNTIL VERY VERY LATE. THIS MEANS YOU CAN ONE SHOT THEM :) ALSO IF YOU WANT TO, GO FOR A CHEEKY HOOK WHEN THEY E THROUGH YOUR MINIONS BACKLINE. THIS MIGHT BE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE BUT I'VE NEVER LOST LANE TO A YASUO AND IT'S ALWAYS AN EASY LANE. YOUR ULTIMATE ALSO DELETES HIS SHIELD.â
ItsAstr0 says âVERY HARAM MUST BAN!!!
This EVIL creature conjures DEVILISH wind magic to OBLITERATE your axes from reality. If you for whatever reason allow him to be picked just dodge, beg, bribe, murder, or steal to escape the lane because there is no point in playing this out if you ever have to lane against him.â
AnxialSociety says âAery manaflow absolute scorch
Eyeball ingenious
Everfrost. Grab early armguard. Consider Lichbane if ahead.
Stay under tower.
Can R forward to bait. Never e if windwall is up.
E behind you if he e's onto you.â
Deru says âDoable matchup because you can solokill him early on with conq and outshove him. If you put your w on yasuo he can't ult so you remove a lot of damage from his 1v1 potential.â
Samikin says âSkill Matchup.
You can angle your Q's to go around Yasuo's W. Most of the time, you will be to E sleep him once he jumps onto you since the timing for his W will be really hard for him to land well. Most of your early game damage goes through his W, so you will naturally have the upper hand in this lane.
Recommendation:
Aery (+ Ingenious Hunter) rune page
Crown of the Shattered Queen + Lich Baneâ
DawrazWasInting says âPretty easy matchup. You can outrade him with no problems. Just dodge his tornadoes and you shall be fine. You can try to go for early trades to prock your passive and Electrocute.â
Mayuushii says âHe dashes all over and will look to use Q3 to get you. Use auto when he farms to take out his passive shield. After his shield is down use Q and W to poke him down. Charm is important to hold cause he can dash to dodge it or use windwall to block everything of yours. Use charm if he dashes to casters near you and interrupt it or after you bait out the windwall â
MiniLuxi1 says âPlay carefully, and look at his character, dodge his "wind" (Q). His W (in the form of a wall of wind), may not allow you to make a procast of directional skills and targeted ones on him, but you can use your R, outside of this wall. He also jumps on creeps and then can jump on you (E), using his Q, try to put your W, so that it would not be so easy for him to reach you.â
StralekS says âNot Playable: Conqueror/ Resolve: vs Assassins or Conditioning and Overgrowth, Ignite + Flash, Doran Shield/ Dark Seal start. Play lane safely, farm, and when hewastes ability, punish him with Q and if you are in good situation go all in. Full AP for higher win chances. Sunderer might work sometimes.â
Deru says âDoable matchup because you can solokill him early on with conq and outshove him. If you put your W on Yasuo he can't ult so you remove a lot of damage from his 1v1 potential.â
NegativePhoenix says âHonestly as annoying as it is, your W stops him from ulting if he can't land his Q3. In your All-Out form you have a chance to beat him if you're careful and time it in a good spot otherwise the fight could go his way if you aren't careful. I'd just definitely save your refreshed W for his Q3 so he can't ult to change the fights outcome super easily.â
YourDreamWaifuu says â[Runes: Conqueror]
[Item: Long Sword]
[Mythic: Eclipse]
[Dont fight him in minions] [Upgrade E instead of Q] [Place you W behind him cou you hit atlest one Q when he place W] [Poke him and wait for you jungler to gang]â
WaveFunction73 says âthis also goes for yone so listen closely.
never take long trades, only short trades, %99 of the times he will have lethal tempo and will just fk u up in long trades.
this goes for every matchup: i advise u to take trades when ur fleet is up so u can run away w ms from fleet after u do a brief combo.â
DabiDabi says âLook to poke. Farm safely and stay away from your minion wave because he can minion ride to you and beat you down. Lvl 6 stay near turret and look to ult him under tower.â
TheAfricanDream says âTake your Q first in this lane and keep poking him. Try to proc his passive shield by basic attacking him and play super aggressively at level 1. Respect Yasuo's level 2 as he can kill you on that spike. His dash makes it very difficult for you to land your E so prioritize saving your mana for your Q only. If you are ahead Yasuo is an easy lane but just make sure you do not overextend and take poor trades as he can easily take over the lane.â
AkuAku says âi rly dont have to say much... his passive is annoying, funny windwall go brrr, he dashes way too much.. like at this point perma gank setup and ping your jg :))) it's not unplayable as long as you land everything and have d shield and second wind for sustainâ
Nyrolol says âI go longsword start with exhaust ignite into botrk to match him early. AD makes you not rely on your q/ult so his windwall is weaker, try to q minions and then jump to that dagger and play with your conq stacksâ
Chymying says âvery mobile, care his windwall so you don't waste skills. easy to gank. he will use dash on minions so stand away from them and use cage on them so he can't get closer or escape.â
Shaco Mid Lane says âVery snowbally lane. You can use your boxes to escape to safety and to bait him. His sustain is annoying to deal with but your liandry's will proc his passive. (W-max)â
Cjtheawesome says âget as much poke as you can in before he gets his E at lvl 2. This will allow you to snowball in xp and gold. post lvl 2 try to cs while avoiding him dashing onto you for trades.â
Demonsedge90 says âSince Yasuo's skills are easy to predict, you should have no issue dodging his steel tempest. However, make sure to poke him in the lane, and watch out for his sweeping blade ability if he's got his gathering storm stacks up (from steel tempest) and could be followed up by him using his ultimate last breath to finish you off.â
Melyn says âMy least favorite bot matchup (not counting support). He's hyper mobile, his shield reduces poke, and has great all in.
One of the best ways to deal with him is to max E and wait for his wind wall. When he fights you, he needs to wind wall the ADC's damage or else that + minions can kill him. Wait for this, then root and either run away or kill him.
Exhaust can be decent for when he's 6, but it's very easy for him to bait it before then by just dashing back through minions.
At 6, if he ults on your ADC, drop your ult immediately under him so that your ADC can start running after (or place it slightly towards your tower). Early armor AND HP can be useful if he's focusing you, but if he usually goes on your ADC, damage is better.â
Wizahd says âPretty even, he outranges you, but your 3 stack combo does more damage than his all-in. Poke him as with every other match-up and try to stop him farming.â
pamiclo says âits skill matchup but i think well played akali always win duel despite yasuo has more powerfull champ. bait his w. use your w before airborned to avoid his ult. use e when he is trying to walk you. ALWAYS USE ULT + E COMBO.â
IamBishop says âHe cant play the game for ages, after level 1 you can just stat check him all lane. Freeze the wave take a sip of your water and hit minions. If he walks up beat his *** into the ground. Duel him in team fights and skirmishes, use him as your ult target if he is a carry and you need to peel. â
Simelodeon says âI: Everfrost/Morello
R: Defensiv
S: Barrier
Mit dem richtigen Setup nicht so schwer wie sonst. Lass dich einpushen damit er nicht durch die Minions dashen kann. Du bist stÀrker Lv.1 wenn du ihn auf range halten kannst aber ab Lv.2 musst du aufpassen.
Seine Windwall blockt deine Q und E. Wenn er dich engagen will benutz Everfrost+W wenn er nicht wegdashen kann fĂŒr einen Free Kill
â
Lucid Walking says âHe counters you.
If you didn't ban him, you can survive by being very passive. This means you should only Q when he starts dashing towards you.
If you're planning on hitting him with your Q, try to Not fully cover your Q on him. Basically, there is this "core"' in your Q, which is the star. If that star gets blocked, your entire ability gets blocked. The star is in the middle of your Q, so don't let that get blocked by his windwall and aim more towards yourself.
â
AriFr0mThe3nd says âYasuo should be pretty easy to counter. Just use one auto attack on his shield (white bar under HP bar) and proceed to attack when it disappears. Also dodge his tornados and then he shouldn't be much of a threat to you.
Be super careful with him, since he can outplay you if you aren't careful with dodging him.â
Ceru says âIf played incorrectly, a Yasuo can do a decent job at stopping you from farming stacks and has a lot more kill pressure than you during laning phase, play back and look for a good opportunity to all in or setup a gank for your junglerâ
Balinthun873 says âDodge his tornado with either w2 or R. When he Q's he will stand still for a second. You can land a Q in that window you just need to count on it.â
SanyGame says âWhen playing against Yasuo, it's important to keep in mind that you should not try to kill him, as he can be a difficult matchup for Heimerdinger. Your best outcome is to go even with him. To do this, position your turrets in a triangle formation, but keep them far apart so that he cannot dash from one turret to the other straight at you. This is similar to playing against Irelia. When he engages with your turrets, retreat away from him and do not cast [E] before he uses his windwall. Take advantage of his melee range by poking and harassing him when he is not trying to engage you or farming CS.
If you face a bad Yasuo player, the match-up may be easy, but if you face a good one, it can be difficult. Morellonomicon and Exhaust are highly recommended items to counter Yasuo.â
Cheeseypops1 says âYasuo will probably outplay you pre 6 and you will struggle to hit your skill shots, Don't all in him pre 6, But after 6 with steelcaps if you hit your abilities you can't lose â
DixonTheGuideMaker says âBe cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his E to dash through the minion wave to get on to you. Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times. Try to keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map early on. This will reduce his ability to play aggressive and look for an all-in. Good times to use CC abilities or to trade with Yasuo is when he is overextended after using his E. You could use his poor positioning to go for a favourable trade to get him low.â
livikattt says âBe extremely careful and play around his windwall. You will take mental damage if you ult perfectly, only for him to use his W and delete it. â
RuchaczSzmat69 says âeasy, poke him to get his passive off, place barrel underneath you and he cant do shit, remember to auto not q the barrel if he has windwall. You can W his ult (not damage but cc its very helpful)â
Spoomk says âAs long as you dodge his tornadoes and can predict his dashing at least to a certain degree, you should be good. Remember to break his passive shield with an AA or Q before engaging him for maximum effect.â
Xelikari says âAn unwinnable matchup for Yasuo, you just do way too much damage. Definitely take first strike here, and I like to rush Sorcererâs Shoes into Shadowflame. Pop his passive shield whenever you can and just walk up to him whenever Flamespitter is off cooldown.
If he Eâs through you, just use a harpoon on him, and make sure you Overheat when he gets into melee and youâll win every trade. You can also easily get away with Predator in this lane if you think you can get some effective roams off. Feel free to go Gathering Storm but I still prefer Scorch.
BEWARE: If he takes Exhaust + Lethal Tempo he can EASILY roll youâ
CFCryo says âDodging tornados is your main concern. Early he can't prevent your poke, only with his passive, as Wind Wall does nothing to your autos. Level 6 Q Ults will be a strong turning point for him, so try not to get hit. Get Titanic Hydra first.â
xblademojo says âDon't Push into him, let him push into you or last hit wave. Poke only for mana flow band. Dont even't AA him too much, because the wave will push too hard and then he will punish you. Starting from 6 you are way more useful and he can't match thhat well your push.â
BIG BRAIN MAN says âIt's easy if he is a monkey. Test him out in a couple trades. If he is competent, then just try to farm and play for fights around the map with teleport.
â
GoodMangoes2war says âHis difficulty is based on one thing only. Does he Rush his E (Sweeping Blade) or his Q (Steel Tempest) if he rushes E you need to be careful not to fall into the dash trap. That's where he will get you. Important Senna/Yas interaction. Senna's Auto Attacks are NOT projectiles and ignore Wind Wall. Yassuo players don't read Patch Notes and will Wind Wall normally. Smurfs/Scripters will not. However, Don't rely on this. Ever. If played correctly he will hard roam early 'cus he's starved. If he E rushes he's considerably more of a handful then his brother.â
DixonTheGuideMaker says âBe cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his Sweeping Blade(E) to dash through the minion wave to get on to you. Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times. Try to keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map early on. This will reduce his ability to play aggressive and look for an all-in. Good times to use CC abilities or to trade with Yasuo is when he is overextended after using his E. You could use his poor positioning to go for a favourable trade to get him low.â
DixonTheGuideMaker says âBe cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his Sweeping Blade(E) to dash through the minion wave to get on to you.

Adamonias says âDASH DASH DASH KNOCKUP INSTAKILL. Take Barrier to block his ult and potentially bait him under tower. This is mostly a game about dodging his knockup, never stand in your wave. Early boots is good here, aswell as early tear to match his waveclear. Go Zhonya's seccond. The only ability that his W blocks is your E so just wait that out; but you can use the rest of your kit for free, bad yasuo's dont know this and will stand behind it. Never use abilities to proc his passive shield, if you CAN safely use auto's to proc it it's a double win for bonus mana. If you can't safely auto him just wait till he's in the wave and he'll probably dash into an ability while youre hitting his wave. At 2 items he MELTS you, hope your team has a point and click CC. Ludens, Zhonyas, Oblivion Orb then shadowflame into him. Respect him at all times and try to freeze so he is forced to trade with you under your tower.â

SkyBanana says âWindwall and mobility is why Seraphine cannot deal with Yasuo. Even a bad Yasuo can make it hard to deal with if he presses W right. That much width of not landing spells on the enemy is going to be rough early and late game.â
CurryMuncher says âHis wind wall blocks out your standard trade pattern since it blocks out your e.
To prevent this, just land your q + auto or just hit w in lane and try to bait out his wind wall then engageâ
ZiegenZelu says âEarly lane ist er zu respektieren da er dich einfach töten kann wenn du einen fehler machst. Im spĂ€teren Spielverlauf nimmt deine E ihn aus jedem Teamfight. WINDWALL BLOCKIERT DIE E MINEN NICHT !â
Alireza.Daddy says âAlways ban it. why?
1.Unkillable since he can dodge your abilities
2.He plays resource games it means he burns your mana early so u cant harass him then he continues to life steal
3.u can never walkup to him EVER! dashes to every creep nonstopâ

DixonTheGuideMaker says âAvoid pushing the wave as much as you can as Yasuo has an incredibly strong all-in and can take you down if youâre pushing. Try to keep the wave closer to your side of the map in the laning phase so he is unable to chase you down and kill you. Be cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his Sweeping Blade(E) to dash through the minion wave to get on to you. Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times. Try to space accordingly to Yasuo and his Support. If the Support has CC, try to play as far back as possible. This will make it hard for them to get on to you. Post 6, make sure youâre always in a safe position so they cannot all-in you.â

Xexzuz says âMorgana is my go to counter for this windblower, given most yasuos are braindead it will be a pretty easy matchup. But every once in a while you will find a good yasuo and it will be a pretty even fight. â
DixonTheGuideMaker says âBe cautious around the minion wave as Yasuo will often use his E to dash through the minion wave to get on to you. Stand outside and away from the minion wave at all times.

NegativePhoenix says âDecently manageable honestly. Poke him while you can but remember he can use minions to E in your face and then dash back out before you can retaliate so once he hits 6 try to play near tower so he gets tower aggro and even better, dies if he gets ulted by you.â
Lightning_Ranger221100 says âPerma ban this champ no matter what (unless he is on your team). He is the worst matchup a Sona could ever have since he counters all of your abilities and can easily get you. If you do fight him, pray. â
Body Those Fools says âThis matchup is Azir favored imo. You out-range him. Let him push into you; try to freeze the wave near your tower so you can farm safely and harass him when he farms. If you push up too far or let him freeze, he'll just E through your minions and run you down. You can dodge his Q3 tornado with W+E. Don't walk up to him early; his level 1/2 is very strong with Lethal Tempo. Experienced Yasuo players in higher elos will know that they can Windwall your Q and your Ult, so be aware of that if you all-in him. His Windwall spawns from under him and pushes out in a direction so if timed perfectly he can negate being hit by Azir ult. If you're about to get knocked up by his EQ, you can also Ult him so you're both knocked up at the same time so he isn't able to Ult you.â

Waqas says âYasuo is a very annoying matchup for Ahri. His passive allows him to tank through your trades easily early game, his dashes allow him to easily dodge all of your linear skill shots. and he can even wind wall all 3 of your abilities as well. A good Yasuo should be able to dominate Ahri in lane.â
RivenHentai102 says âdziwny matchup
lvl 6 jak dobrze grasz wygrywasz
exhaust jest w miare git
zacznij od doran ringa

maxuj E potem Wâ
angeLoon says âlethal dblade in resolve bone plating and unflinching.
yasuo is weaker than yone late game.
but early he's too strong,so be careful when trading early.â
KayyeN says âA good Yasuo can make your life hell. You can only ever step forward to your wave when you have another one behind you that's coming from base. Otherwise, you can't jump away when he inevitably dashes onto you through minions. In general, his E allows him to close large gaps as long as there are minions. If he's on top of you, there's no way of preventing his R either, since he will just E-Q-R you. Also, his windwall prevents your Q and your R blades from hitting, and even your Q dagger from landing.â
Edex_StarsUpYourASol says âYasuo is a skill based matchup. Its his quickfire movements vs your positioning. If either of you snowball, the other is useless for the rest of the game. Just make sure to remove his shield whenever possible and avoid pokes.
If both of you are somehow even in gold mid to late game, you still have the dps and survivability to keep Yasuo at bay so overall he will struggle every time he meets youâ
DragonMaster45 says âYasuo is one of the biggest Zed counters. Unless you reach LvL 6 and he uses his W, your chances of winning the 1v1 are not very high.â
Zarasaras says âJust farm, he will eventually troll because he is thirsty for the kills and you outscale just play safe
before he buys his boots if you have aery and dodge 2 Qs you can win skirmishesâ
just pick yone says âDon't fight him lvl2. Fight him when his passive is down. (doesn't apply to late game). Also if you're close enough to him your Q3 can go through his W.â
Amarusis says âTry to poke with Q, be aware of his R. Brothers are quite easy to dominate in next levels just dont let him feed in early to give you the opportunity gaining CS.â
KatloveGG says âYasuo is a very big threat if the enemy has mastered him in 100%. This mainly applies to very high elo. Winning the line on him is hard, you should farm and avoid his Q. You can roam the bot to gain an advantage in goldâ
Asaabye says âTry to abuse his early game by poking him whenever you have the chance. Avoid his (Q3) tornado by using your (W) Never run away from him through your own minions because he can easily catch up with his (E) Try instead to run through river/jungle or even through your shrooms to slow him down. You can not blind his (Q) so take advantage early game because late game he can spam his (Q)â
L9 zangetsu says âyasuo is a very interesting match up i recommend putting like 3 points e early so he cant just windwall all of your damage and build eclipse with the bruser runes and you can usually win 1v1s against him and burst him late â
C4V3IRINH4 says âbe careful with hurricane, ask your team for help because yasuo might not be a big problem or he might be the big king of the match so be carefulâ
Brofish says âWith this particular play style, Visions of Empire will be almost impossible to confirm, focus using it in the side lanes instead. Begin maxing out Death's hand after level 6 since it goes through wind wall giving you a consistent and reliable option to damage him.â
TroyLoL says âA (good) Yasuo will make the game unplayable for you. Windwall your gold card even if you hold it and try to outsmart him by trying to make him waste it. Also he can windwall the katty minion early on so you can't walk up and last hit it. All around sucks.â
Super08131208 says âLevel 1, try to poke him with your Q while avoiding his Q's. Your Q is both longer and wider range than Yasuo's. Dodge his tornadoes. Let Yas dominate level 2. You'll win from lvl 3 and up. This matchup is actually very easy, it all depends on who gets more hits onto each other.
â
DabiDabi says âYasuo's windwall counters you pretty hard. It blocks both your Q and E but not your W. Position and play aorund his windwall and don't take too much extended fights. His passive shield allows him to fight you better.â
ze kraken says âYou can beat a Yasuo. Having said that, it's not easy - his passive is annoying and his dashing is similar to irelia's but slower. Use your AA to rid his shield and poke him down with some Q's and an E for more AA's. Steer clear of minions so he can't dash around like crazy. â
feejee says âPassive shield + good wave clear + being able to windwall your Q makes this matchup really hard, but doable if done properly. Start dorans with ignite.â
Zoose says âHis Windwall blocks your Q, E and Ultimate, however, your E will still hit him if its cast before he uses windwall. You can still W flip him behind the wall. Luckily, his windwall is 30 seconds early game and your Q is less than 6. Keep trades short as he will win extended fights. Try to remove his passive shield before you go for trades. Look to predict his E dash with your E stun. Be extra cautious against junglers with displacement CC, as Yasuo can then ultimate combo on to you. Seekers and Zhonya's are solid defensive options later on. â
V1kt0r555 says â[Rune Keystone: Aftershock or Phase Rush]

[Buy Plated Steelcaps and Zhonya's Hourglass]â
King Turtle says âHe's currently my perma ban as his windwall just kinda ruins the lane for you in general. He probably won't be killing too often as long as you play safe as Xayah is really good at countering all-in champions, Yasuo's windwall just cucks any trading power you have.â
basrty1p says âAfter Taliyah rework, he has no longer being threat to her anymore.
Use your Q,E harass him as much as possible since her E has a stun for dashing.
Beware about his Q, If you're hit by his Q, you're mostly hit by his R after that. Buy Zhonya's or Banshee to fix this problem.â
SadgeBoyK says âdodge his Q's in lane, kill his minions and ground him when tries to dash through yours. you can goo him when tries to R so he can't ult.â
Esrucnl says âEven matchup. Better player will win.
Don't play too much into the minion wave since he will just permanently dash. Also make sure you pop his passive shield (+bone plating rune) before you all in.
You will never be able to R2 or R3 ult so just Q into R instantly (he has windwall)â
Azurio says âI personally found Yasuo matchup really tough. He can dodge and wall all your spells, even your autos, while trading you in wave. Avoid his tornado or E Q combo with your dash. You can farm safely all lane with dash and smoke screen.â
King Turtle says âhis windwall absolutely cucks you and makes landing combos extremely difficult. Aside from that he also has his passive shield which negates early poke and makes it hard to get him low without blowing all of your mana.â
ddieguito_es says âIf he gets close, he can be a nightmare. You should win lane to him, but a great Yasuo can be a problem. If you suck at fighting Yasuos, get exhaust.â
beansoce says âTry to walk up level 1 and proc electrocute, deny him off wave so he doesnt have control over the lane. Try to autoattack his passive shield before using q, your q can travel over your windwall but his e cannot. Use pool early game if he's constantly dashing on you, once 6 you can use pool to dodge nado or just w after he casts. Try and change up your e charge time to deal with him windwalling.â
xoBunnihime says âRunes:
Aery
-----
Start:
Corrupting Potion
-----
Barrier/Ignite + Flash
-----
Depending on your playstyle, I prefer taking Barrier + Flash with this matchup. It's fun to see Yasuo's try to all-in/Dive you under tower with Ult, and you juke them with a Barrier/Flash + Charm. Watch them die and you get an opportunity to make a highlight clip of your outplay. ;)
-----
Try building into Everfrost - this Mythic goes through Yasuo's Windwall.
-----
Always bait out his Windwall before Charming!
-----
Use auto-attacks to deactivate his passive's shield.
-----
Try not to push your lane too much - too many allied minions allows Yasuo to dash multiple times!â
S4mst4r says âHe and his stupid brother aren't easy to play against in early - but manageable...
They can kill you easy when they got three-digit IQ and buy Wits-Endâ
Zanannya says âRecommend you to build frozen heart, you can use your R to go through his tornado or dodge it. Try to do short trades with E+AA+W+Q. Keep in mind, yasuo spams his E, giving you stacks to your E.â
ColdStuff says âYasuo has more agency than Karma in this lane as her CC is delayed and her burst is tied to an ability that can be blocked with Wind Wall. That being said, you have plenty of tricks to generate space for your team should he knock-up your team. â
clytt says âI usually win this lane. AA to proc his passive shield before poking w/ abilities. Step back when his windsh*it is up. He'll windwall to block our combos, but it's usually easy to sidestep poke bc he'll try and hug it.â
Twisted Tea Fate says âJust a skill matchup honestly. If you can consistently space his Qs and keep pressuring him with autos and Ws, he'll waste his wind wall and be open for an easy gank.â
annak3ndr1ck says âIt depends on player tbh, some Yasuos will charge u where u easily kill him with ur Q and W, some will play it safe waiting for u to overstep. Extreme Skill Matchupâ
V1kt0r555 says â[Rune Keystone: Summon Aery]

moso says ââą Better than the Yone matchup but still easier to play as the Yasuo.
âą Ivern can outscale Yasuo pretty hard with Daisy in teamfights as long as Ivern has a few melee champs.â
Chocodino009 says âsuch as yone. just wait him to e in your direction and you will be able to land your e easily, also when he q2 you from distance press w as the same timing to avoid his r.â
ARealFakeIdentity says âAs he will likely deal a lot of damage and out-damage you, if he builds any type of antiheal such as Mortal Reminder, he may pose quite a threat. You can easily break his Way of the Wanderer passive early game with your Q, and if you ever feel the need to engage, it will nearly always be worth it to try break his passive first.â
donidaking says âA really good yasuo is really hard to play against since he will just step up and use q to farm and will wait for level 2 to trade with you while utilizing his passive.
Yasuo has mobility and more dps than you so long trades are no bueno.
Break his pasive and do short trades auto+q+shortE and procc electro.
At level 6 you can all in with electro if you manage to get a good trade on him.
Your Q goes through windwall but your E damage gets blocked by windwall even in pool.
If he E+Tornado Q you just pool and you are fine.
But he might E+stackedQ+Flash+R you if you are low hp.
If he s bad just keep killing him.
Shadowflame is an option if they have a lot of shields.â
qosmox says âBe careful to not take extended trades lvl 1-2. Only do short trades when you have a full minion wave he canât fight inside. Once you hit lvl 3 though, you can start winning trades using your W and keeping your E for disengaging if he ever tries to all-in you. Once he grows low and you wanna finish him off but heâs dashing around everywhere, a tip to hit your taunt is to look which minion is the obvious âdash-targetâ, and once he starts that E just instantly taunt the spot heâs gonna arrive at.â
Aut0Lycus says âWait for his E, if he has already used it on you just Q him, send him away and leave the fight. He can't do anything if you have your stun ready.â
akol1ght says âPretty easy matchup. Back off when he has Q3 and be mindful of his dashes. Try and land an auto to pop his shield before you combo for elecâ
TheKingUltra says âHe will dash around and will concentrate on damaging you more than on farming. The same goes for his brother. You should be able to outfarm him, because of his ignorance.â
Whitelies says âYou should be fine if you playsafe until level 3. Keep poking him until he forces himself to use W that's where you can jump in and kill him. Buy prowler's claw to catch up with him and burst him down and buy Serpent's Fang to counter his shield. However, don't get too cocky in late game. He hurts more and more.â
Exiled Heretic says âyasuo is easy if you just e him in and land your q before he can wind wall but he can wind wall your q and w if he gets it off so only go in if he wastes it or if you don't need a full combo to get the kill. beware of his lethal tempo trading power.
â
Nitress says âhis windwall blocks almost all of your combos, but if you manage to force him to use it, you can try to fight.
You need to know, if you use W and Tornado hits you in your w yasuo cant use r on you!!â
Dustyacer says âlvl 1 can poke but his passive shield blocks most of it. range of our q > range of his q1/q2. lvl1-2 he wins. Its fine to just wait to lvl 3, his wind wall is useless so we end up with an extra ability. lvl 3-5 we hard win, can zone him. lvl 6 + we win too since he never gets to hit q's on wave --> not knockups --> no r. Careful of jngl gank if u play too aggro, especially if jngl has a knockup (since yasuo shouldnt get q stacked, thus no q3 until fight has been happening for a while).
Early can try to get lvl 2 first and jump on him or can let him push lvl 1-2 and try to get the wave on our side and zone him off the wave.â
RandomNPC777 says âBan Yasuo every game, will windwall your entire kit, will dance circles around you, and will laugh on your corpse. Only hope is that the yasuo is bad.â
Nighswan says âYasuo is a hard matchup because of his wind wall and mobility. Most of the time he will wall your charm, stopping you from getting a pick and if he has units to dash through, he can escape or close the gap very quickly. Take advantage of early levels where he's weak and wait for ganks at later levels.â
Ahri Simplord says â2nd hardest matchup in my opinion. He can outrade you early,his shield is annoying and he can even dive you since he usually runs triumph,a good windwall timing can kill you since your charm will go to waste,you can never get priority in lane since he'll perma push himself and if you walk up you'll get harassed.â
aurorauwu says âAvoid tornado with your E. Try to harass him at lvl 1. Don't let him get lvl 2 first. He will most likely try to kill you at lvl 2.â
Malzahar MID says âMalzahar does a ok job of beating Yasuo. Normally, he wins a acceptable 50.9% of games the champions fight each other in. In Malzahar vs Yasuo games, Malzaharâs team is 0.1% less probable to get first blood. This indicates that he most likely won't be able to get first blood against Yasuo.â
KeNaNFoR says âUnpleasant in the early and middle games, there are a lot of opportunities to evade the Kassadin ult, a lot of damage from buying the first thingâ
VyoS says âGo 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 everytimeâ
Dj Memelord says âHarder version of yone. Laning phase is usually unplayable, but once you get out if, Yasou tends to stick to your cage like a fly to a spiders net. Keep procing his passive with your auto attacks.â
m0rfeazz says âI personally love this matchup, dont fight until you hit 3 and dont engage in long trades after that the plan is simple KEEP HARRASSING HIM he will get out of lane eventually, now the combo is kinda tricky E in then AA (to get his passive off if he has it)then wait for his W bait it E2 him Q and finnaly W to get lifesteal(dont forget to AA while doing the abilities to maximize your dps)and then quickly get outâ
Xalt says âPersonally ban this champion. His Windwall and itemisation makes it is very easy for him to beat Diana. Try to kill him early before he hits his boots/vamp sceptre and if he's playing too safe, shove your wave and roam. Avoid extended trades as it's likely he'll have lethal tempo and his autos will chunk you while your abilities are all on cooldown after your initial burst.â
Silcy says âHe's one of your biggest counters.
Don't waste your combo on his wall.
Wait for the moment to stun him with easy Conflagration and Sear combo, followed by pillar and ignite, cast your ultimate while he escapes around minions.â
Bundif says âHe wins pre-level 6. Don't trade autos with him. Look for opportunistic trades. With your lvl 6, you can look to dodge his E+Q with your R and win.
Serpent's Fang is a must-buy item against him.â
angeLoon says âdring or dark seal bone plating,unflinching.
laning against good yasuo's is really annoying,if the yasuo is good build tabi's if not just buy lucidity and cloth armor
try to short trade against yasuo.
yasuo have Windwall,be careful when trading with him,he can easily dodge or block your E and Râ
JoacoT31102 says âpick nunu against yauso, whit his windwall cant stop the snowball if you ar still casting it (no yauso expect that) and at lvl 6 basicaly go in with e and R and you kill him every time.â
EclipseMints says âCan block your whole combo with his windwall(w). He can also dodge your attacks by throwing q and teleporting(r) past them and fatally combo you.â
officialwiseguy says âDid 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.â
DaffeLaffe says âHis Windwall and itemisation makes it is very easy for him to beat Diana. Try to kill him early before he hits his boots/vamp sceptre and if he's playing too safe, shove your wave and roam. Hit your q to hit of his shield, before you go for a trade, or an all-in. â
soulentt says âYasuo has great ability movement with his E, and his Q makes you airborne. Stay away and poke. Do this till the end of game, and also stay away from minions. If he engages, wait till he gets close to you and then Q him.â

Juon says âNot that bad, since he is melee he is very easy to abuse. Start E so you don't get level 1 killed. This lane is basically just farming because if either of you make a mistake the other is dead. Run electro for free trades, and max E second.â
Magmora says âLike yone but harder to find a decent player. Watch out for when his tornado is up (you see the particle effects and noise), and back away. Remember he can dash through minions and block q. Though he only blocks it if he hits the centre with windwall, a large enough q can just stun through it.
Yasuo may feel unwinnable to newbies, but from my experience he is one of those champs where understanding your enemy is the best and sometimes necessary way to fight them. If you are struggling with him, buy him and try him yourself to learn how he works.â
Light99YT says âWind Wall blocks all of you damage. Bait out the Windwall with your E Hail of Arrows, before you go for the all-in. Varus Mid does not have many threats at this time since he out damages and out ranges nearly every mid laner from start to finish. Keep your distance and you should be fine!â
A Wanblee Wasta says âI really don't like Yasou. He can get easily snowball if he kills you on the lane. He can dodge your casts with W and E, he has a shield in passive for your full cast. Try to wait or bait, when he should use his W, for example, shoot him E + aa, then you will have about 10-13 second for new cast. Try to poke E + Q + AA in this timing. Don't let him poke himself with Q3.â
RyomaSengoku15 says âYasuo's barrier can block your Q and ruin your entire combo (But that's not a problem if you consider that 99% of Yasuo's players are horrible)
â
TrueGIXERJ says âhis W blocks everything that matters, which is a problem for you. Ideally bait him away from it or only fight him while it's on cd, but if you have to fight around it, use Q to jump through and around it to keep doing damage. dodge tornados.â

Fake Supp says âits one of the hard matchups for pyke but its so easy if u can predict him and u know when his Tornado was ready and he starts E around be patient when he E you .. you wil E away simple as that ... yes it need some practice to do so but you will get a hang of it eventually â
ChrisWasTaken says âThe hasagi brothers are realy easy. Level 1 is a flip, I usually go for it. IF you do go for it, you have to dash auto, bait his q, auto auto etc. Basically I think of Xin as a kindof 3rd brother, basically same build only much easier execution.â
MooncakePhel says âYas can destroy ur Cresendrum stacks but literly every Yasuo is to stupid to realize ur Severum aa will go threw his Windshield..â
NotGudAtGame says âA good yasuo will try to kite you so you cant even get close enough to auto attack. He outranges you and does better in extended trades.â
desch3445 says âYasuo matchup is pretty micro-intensive. You're gonna have to juggle dodging his tornados, keeping track of his W CD 'cause a good chunk of your damage is projectile based, procing his passive without overstepping, and god forbid the enemy jungler has a knockup.
Take the First Strike page; Yasuo's a melee champ with unreliable poke. The worst you're gonna have to deal with is his Wind Wall, but that's annoying FS or no FS.â
ThePieBeam says âYas is a weird champ, but it's really not too bad. His Q is pretty easy to dodge and his windwall can be played around, but his dashes can go over your wall and his E+Q combo is very scary for a widdle Anivia. Basically just play this lane as if his entire effective range is a little ways off of all of your minions. Don't throw 'Q's at him, he'll just E away or W. Basically just try to bait out his windwall with a really good W+E or R+W+E once you get it. If his windwall is down a good R can be devastating to him, just be very careful of him landing a Q2 since if he does that post-6 you're just dead.â
Xerathiel says âQWR pass through windwall. Proc his shield with AA. DO NOT PUSH. Winions + his E = your death. He will outsustain your poke. Just ignore him he isn't a threat. â
Bairdd says âDo not pick Twisted Fate into Yasuo. He will make lane miserable for you. His windwall blocks your entire kit and he can easily get on top of you.â
Epic_Semibold says âReally hard matchup. Not impossible... more like a random chance of getting obliterated. Try using your W when he uses Windwall. And do not press E until he lost his W.
Try dodging his skillshot and bait him under down with his ult with your ult. If he has a lane advantage, immediately build anti heal.â
fLeXeRlol says âHis W (Wind Wall) is able to block a whole Combo. He's just a Horror to play against with Ahri. Ban Yasuo in the Banning Phase to avoid playing against him.â
TrueGIXERJ says âvery very easy matchup, your Q outranges his so you can poke him with it, and if he decides to engage on you you out-sustain the majority of his damage. The only fears are if he Es away from your R or wind walls your W. but seriously, easy lane.â
Raimi says âHis passive shield can limit your burst, but it's not the end of the world. Make sure to wait out windwall so he can't block your ult or hide it. Make sure to kill him as you will get outscaledâ
Callmebee says âI actually don't know which of the brothers I hate more. Stay a bit to the side/at the very back of your wave, nowhere near close to minions, so he can't dash to you. Farm with abilities but do try not to push, he is good at chasing. Don't try to poke him down outside charging your manaflow band, it's genuinely useless. The white bar he gets represents his shield: if needed (maybe you get a gank) pop this with an AA if it's safe to do so. Tip: your R goes through his Windwall, nothing else does, not even your shield. Take Barrier or Exhaust.â
Eriosunx says âPretty hard if the Yasuo knows what he is doing.
He can punish every level 1 minion Q with AUTO+Q.
He can also nullify our E with this Windwall if the E collide between it.
Make sure to E orizontally and avoid all-ins if he has windwall up.â
Polartech says âNow his shield will parry your Autoattacks and your Q, first problem. Yasuo's Damages is surely higher than Kayle's Damages even after level 6, second problem. Try to play under tower taking less risks possible.â
Sandor Clegane98 says âOkay so the HASAGI samurai wannabe here can either be a really bad yasuo and get dumpstered like a bronze 4 or he can actually be good and make good E Q trades, effectively cheesing you into your ultimate death.So for those reasons it is generally better to be on the safer side and take a doran's shield,laning pre 6 is in your favor for as long as you dont get yourself MEGA harassed with his tornados so be sure to dodge them,all ins are in your favor,and since yasuo has quite a pushing nature don't hesitate to cheese him with jungler early for the extra tilt on his part,post 6 is also in your favor assuming you didn't horribly screw up,if you do, always consider that cheesy steelcaps rush.Some more smarter yasuo's will try to play you by denying you your passive by E thru minions while it runs out,so for extra kill potential on your part try not to stand near minions unless you know you're gonna kill him,same thing goes for late game if you feel like he can kill you.
Dshield or Dblade.â
TcKatfish says â[Press The Attack Runes / Doran's Blade start.] This is personally my perma ban. This matchup can go very poorly if not handled well. This is the only matchup where I think maxing your E is better because your Q will just be removed by his windwall. Poke him every time he uses his tornado and get your E off before he can get to you. Do full swings and try to maintain distance until he is in kill threat. Post 6 be ready to disengage once he starts dashing through minions.â
lonestar1870 says âYasuo is definitely a hard matchup for Syndra and a decent ban, but it really depends how good he is at Yasuo. A good Yasuo is really hard for you to deal with.
Good to set up slow pushes & let him push into you.
Freezing is great. He will get bored and go for a bad fight or your jungler will be able to gank him (One of Yas's bigest weaknesses is jungle ganks).
His mobility is tied around him using E on your minions. Throw Q when he isn't near your minions. Go for fights/trades away from minions. If you q-e-w-auto him, make sure to path away from your minions or he will be able to catch up to you.
His windwall will stop your Stun and Ult, butyour W goes through windwall.
You can stun him by predicting when/where he will E, it's easiest to land stun with W-E or E-Q. You need to play very patient and you may die if you miss abilities.
Don't waste abilities when his shield is up, auto him before you trade.
Yasuo can run you down. Don't push up far in lane unless you know you're safe. If he catches you out in river you probably lose the fight.
If he uses his E aggressively behind you early (near your tower), look to E-Q him to stun him under your tower for a free kill (happens a lot in lower elos).
Sitting on cloth/seekers helps a lot if you struggle vs him.â
Desperate Nasus says âAgainst Yasuo, for starting items buy Cloth armor and 4 potions. On your first recall buy Plated steelcaps and survive as much as you can. Take your second recall once you have gold for Sheen. After you have those 2 items with 100+ stacks you can run him down. Be careful when you all in a Yasuo. Make sure your minion wave isnt that big so he wont be able to dash many times. Bad news are after his Lord dominik's regards and Infinity edge he outscales you. Make sure to finish the game before 30 minutes.â
Markcelzin says âEzreal DPS isn't realiable. Yasuo can close distance fast and the windwall (W) can nulify all the damage of your skills, leaving you only with Autos with a poor Atk. Speed since you haven't hit any enemy.â
Adventfaith says âReally comes down to skill on this one. Dodging his q's is vital. You can still tether him through windwall. so keep that in mind for ganks and self heals.â
RIPStollie says âThe laning phase vs yasuo is not terrible, but the threat with him is his windwall. Later on in the game, try to wait out the ability before throwing your ult, or else you might be really sad.â
BlockPad says âlike yone, yasuo still doing crazy damage and can block youre spell so take care. Need to harass a lot, start with Q and care of the timing he can engage you.â
Lowkii_d says âYasuo being able to consistently get on top of you makes it hard to grapplehook and his windwall makes you almost completely useless if used well.â
Dorom says âAnother skill-matchup I think, but Sylas is more likely to come out victorious than with Xerath. Yasuo will be trying to stay on your ass 24/7 with his Lethal Tempo, which isn't good for either of you. You can try and dash through his windwall and then knock-up him and ult him with his own Last Breath if you guys are already 6. Untill then, Sylas is still better I think.â
CashLOL says âWindwall shuts down all of your abilities. A good Yasuo will make teamfights very difficult for you. In lane his shield will need to be autoed off which will normally eat your passive. Lot's of dashes also make him hard to hit.â
Nafnegle says âHe out-sustains and out-damages you. Did I mention his mobility? Make use of your max range, try to poke for Manaflow Band and play for teamfights. You CAN kill him early game but you have to know the match-up really well and most of the times it's not worth it. Dodge sideways, not backwards. Late game he becomes very problematic, so you and your team need to CC him and burst. Take Barrier and stay far, far away.â
ShokLoL says âAgainst Yasuo with ignite and E max you will have a lot of kill threat. Make sure to harass him with auto attacks and try to punish with your E whenever he wastes his tornado.â
DanielC0029 says âWhat can I say here? You heavy counter him, as an extra, on lvl 3you can deal a basic on him to waste his shield and apply a full combo, you win this trade without even using ignite. Use ignite when he flees under tower.â
pwins says âBAN. 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!â
TorvusDog says âHe 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.â
Juplicate says âHe 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.â
ObeyRageRr says âDue 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.â
WayOfTheTempesst says âHe is a lot stronger until level 3. Just don't take too much damage early and you're fine. He will
look to Windwall your Q3. You can always W his passive away. Try not to fight in the minion wave because he
will E over and over. This matchup is purely a skill matchup after level 3.â
Katawina52 says âKeep 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.â
Drewmatth Taliyah says â2 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.â
PlayCabex says âvery easy match up against a bad yasuo , just poke and don't fight before lvl 3, your q can go through his windwall. Against a good yasuo it's quite tough to play into. Your best bet is to try to not die in lane and be even in levelsâ
Yeager says âConqueror 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.
â
eiensiei says âREACTIVE 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.â
xblademojo says âDon'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.â
AP WormMaW Mid says âThis 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.â
Avucado says âStart Q and try to hook him, the shield will absorb your q and part of your first auto. Never E through him because he can dodge it very easily or just windwall it. Ask for ganks because you never win 1v1 unless ahead and half of your kit is countered by windwall. Roam if possible but he can shove really fast so be careful not to lose too much. Steelcaps are really good if they have more ad on their team.
Matchup is a 4 in threat if he has other champs with knockups on his team. Dodge if he has a diana on his team.â
ISterbenI says âAnnoying 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!â
crabbix says âDid 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.â
Polarshift says âYou will need near perfect spacing/tethering skills as Ryze. Keep the wave at your side of the lane and don't take extended trades. His windwall will block both your Q and E, but not your W. Learn important ability cooldowns through an external website and fight enemies when their abilities are on cooldown.â
TygoVe says âHe 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.â
LunarVortex says âThe 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.â
Curt Mcbeltpants says âEven 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.â
Halfhand says âTIPS: Same thing as Irelia but this guy can also block all your spells with his shield. Don't push the lane, try to keep the wave just in front of your turret range and wait for ganks or just scale up safely. Yasuo players tend to make 'silly' mistakes, punish him when he messes up.â
Yeager says âYasuo 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. â
Yeager says âLet 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 .
â
Fuzzmonkey says âYasuo 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.â
Fuzzmonkey says âOk, 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.â
iZianni says âE

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.
â
Aegox says âHis 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.â
Folver says âDon'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 :Dâ
ToHadesWithYou says âAnother 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.â
wDesired says âYou 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.â
mrmundo says âA 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 â
ShokLoL says âHonestly 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.â
leonidas44 says âHe has a lot of mobility. Use protobelt or q to destroy his shield. Be careful when you go in to take minions or to deal him dmg. Use your w wisely so you can stun him and get dmg to him. After the protobelt rush anti-healing if he takes immortal shieldbow.â
Kords says âYasuo 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.â
ShokLoL says âYasuo 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.â
ShokLoL says âElectrocute 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.â
Dr Eggmund says âHis 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.â
Elite500 says âCan 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 brainâ
iZianni says âWindwall = 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.â
Ambitieux says âYasuo 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.â
iZianni says âYou 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.â
kindo says âYasuo 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.â
Baion says âHis 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.â
Baion says âHigh 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.â
DemonDiana says âScales 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. â
Zethal_Na says âIf 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.â
Coldsong says âYasuo is a skill matchup. If he is good, his W will negate 80% of your damage and he will dodge every W you throw out with his E. Make sure to play around his passive shield by breaking it early and don't engage when he has his tornado Q up. Plated Steelcaps is good into him as well since his Q counts as a basic attack.â
Shikikashi says âHe 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.â
TismoTheTilted says âBait 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.â
zedlove6969 says âThis 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.â
Marxismo says âAnother 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.â
resetwice says âHe scales well so take care. Use your W to remove his passive shield. If he wastes E to get closer to you use you mQ for crit damage. Remember that his windwall can block your combo so only all win if this ability isn't up. Try buying Executioner's or Serpent's Fang is he's feed. BEST RUNES TO GO: CONQUERORâ
Kessi says âThis 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.â
Beardo1557 says âQuite 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 escapeâ
Nodrog says âHis 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.â
angeLoon says âhe 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 freezeâ
jmo0 says âYasuo 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. â
Sylvan Lore says âYasuo 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. â
Wholesomefrog says âHe can basically block everything you have, i would consider banning him because if hes good you will end up feeding him very hard.â
Saddest says âDo 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).â
TheDisconnectEUW says âFOR 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.â
Yumi Project says âThis 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).â
SpoonMe says âThis 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.â
Avyxia says âWindwall counters us entirely so force it out if you want to try anything but he just destroys us with his e being able to dash everywhere tooâ
livikattt says âFUCK THAT GUY HE JUST DASH DASH WINDWALL NEVER GETS HIT THEN HITS ONE SKILLSHOT AND PRESSES R AND YOU DIE STUPID CANCER ASS CHAMPIONâ
Impossible2Gank says âDue 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.â
Potato Power says âSlippery 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 elseâ
Mr. Popper says âThis is a skill based matchup. get in his head dodge his Q's and respect how fast he can gap close.
I recommend taking a tanky build with frostfire gauntlet or goredrinker with a more damage focused build.â
Mylan2122 says âDoable 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. â
ReapeRGP says âDon't play near minions and dodge the tornados the best you can. Bait his W before using your R. Consider taking Exhaust and build Zhonya's.â
N0EG0 says âHard 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+. â
duhnx says âIf 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.â
King Turtle says âHe'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.â
Katasandra says â[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.â
richardlized says âA skill matchup, Yasuo is in theory a Zed counter since his windwall can block Zedâs 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.
â
PH45 says âTry 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. â
Thresh Mid says âLikewise 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.â
xMetix says âTake 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.â
Hienaa says âAll 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.â
DabiDabi says âYasuo 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.â
Nanelol says âTough 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.â
DabiDabi says âLevel 1, try to poke him with your Q while avoiding his Q's. Your Q is both longer and wider range than Yasuo's. Dodge his tornadoes. Let Yas dominate level 2. You'll win from lvl 3 and up. This matchup is actually very easy, it all depends on who gets more hits onto each other.â
Nanelol says âHis 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. â
tozosi says âSkill 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.â
TheSecretsWithin says âYasuo 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.â
3Riptide3 says âCounters 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.â
Nanelol says âHe 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.
â
TheDuskWalker says âMID
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. â
Jinx_48 says âHe 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 .â
FYCK says âYasuos 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.â
Nanelol says âYou 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 â
lolzayno says âHigh 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.â
Sanctuar says âExperienced 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.â
fanchessfan says âMost 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. â
shidonryoku says âUnpleasant 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.â
Vispectra says âAh Yasuo , this one is entirely skill based. A good Yasuo will often Q dash into your face Autoattack you knock you up and dash away , leaving you barely any time to react to it. The one's that abuse auto-attacks are the ones that will hurt you the most. Fleet is a good option into Yasuo and you max E to not only slow him to stop him from getting to you , but it also goes right through windwall. You can often R the second he has knocked you up which will displace you although you'll still be ulted by him you can make it so that he is under your tower. He scales pretty well so don't rely on your late that much into this.â
Iannis623 says â// 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 forâ
RTO says âE can be used constantly as gap closer as long as he has minions around. Be wary of his tornado. His windwall will block your Q and put it on CD. Get armor!â
StarTundra says âYasuo'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 cautionâ
Basse74 says âReally 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.â
httprmc says âSame 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 youâ
cookanarities says âYasuo 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.â
SeptikYT says âSimilar 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.
â
TheWerefloof says âMakes 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.â
InstalockVayne says âSkill 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.â
DarDarThePenguin says âYasuo 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.â
PRoli03 says âNot 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)â
P3PPR says âits 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? â
Kirito OTP Xerath says âDurante la fase de lĂneas 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 asegĂșrate de ver cuando gasta su muro de viento, ya que con este puede cancelar nuestro aturdimiento, cuando tenga nivel 6 deberĂas considerar Zhonyas para evitar su tornado y al mismo tiempo evitar que use su definitiva.â
iamcasualty says âA 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 :)â
TheMockingSnowman says âBuy 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.
â
A55AILANT says âWindwall (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.â
Boomblight says âgg 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 reminderâ
3pitesgiro says âIf 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 fineâ
SirGRC says âKeystone: Fleet
I have had a lot of games sense this was last updated and all you need to do to deal with Yasuo is to just play like a coward. Hug you tower and try not to leave it. Dodge his tornados and his Q pokes. He will get annoyed and either try and tower dive or fall behind or off as the game progresses sense he cannot get any gold. Be careful thought because of his split push potential. â
Dimitrisbabas1 says âYasuo 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.â
GhoastlyGiant9352 says âkite 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.â
Oxydation says âSkill 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).â
pastizio53 says âwouldnt 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.â
NINSHINIK says âEvery 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.
â
DeathStar04 says âDebating 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.â
Daers says âGet 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.â
SpartanDumpster says âDefinitely 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.â
Sailor MOwOn says âYasuo 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.â
VeneficusFerox says âSeriously annoying with his Wind Wall, blocking each and every one of your attacks. Avoid matchup when possible. Also because he will feed on your team mates, just like Diana.â
Excalibxr says âThis 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. â
Joseph Evanss says âHe 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.â
ahspaghetti says âtrack 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.â
BlackIllusion1 says âVery 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. â
Black Shadow QIYANA says âDont 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 râ
CheeselordMax says âhonestly if hes dashing through all your minions good luck trying to hit him not to mention windwall blocking your only hard cc
â
7daysko says âUse 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.â
JoshAy says âDon'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.â
JustMTK says âA 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.â
ryzetrox says âYeah braindead yasuos wont win against you but good ones will be untouchable. You basically have no abilities thanks to his E and windwall. After he gets PD hes immortal. You wont kill him.â
harris tegas says âthe 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 Eâ
The Jhin Cena says âTake 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. â
Ryank30 says âFleet 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.â
Campersnake says âWait 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.â
Mpegial says â**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.â
eternalkuuseki says âyou 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.â
Lavishmouse1032 says âThis 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 actionâ
Zileni says âPretty 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.â
mihaila says âVery 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.â
Sojurini says âİf 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 â
XD001 says âIf the Yasuo is good this matchup is borderline unwinnable for you. You can also very easily go even in the lane, however. Do your best to match his roams to jg and top/bot skirmishes and try to have lane priority. Although you win short trades, he can usually heal back up so its more worth to shove the lane and look for plays on the map.
Late game you can't match him and you should look to buy grievous wounds.
Yasuo heavily outscales Ekko.
electrocute + inspiration + ignite
If the enemy team has 2 more tanks/bruisers take Conqueror + dominationâ
Luciiid says âGarbage. 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.â
mc_jojo3 says âChampions 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.â
Noodles912 says âSkill 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.â
Int4Kindred says âHe'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.â
Havenia says âI 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.â
Jinx_48 says âin 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 lifestealâ
FerretInADurag says âIf 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...â
elnino9 says âKeep 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.â
pavelp420 says âDepends 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.â
PASS10NE says âYou 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.â
NuclearAkali says âVery 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.â
lordsaladito says âCan 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 wallâ
Wunsch3957 says â50/50 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.â
Twitch.Tv-LimitBreaker88 says âVIDEO : 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.â
ReYkoTheLord says âBe 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.â
Talon Abuser says âI 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. â
Whinit says âPop 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.â
Coldsong says âYasuo 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.â
Gloglito says âA 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.â
InkHeiko says âYasuo 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.â
Abbyca says âYasuo 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.â
l2ingeR says âLike 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.â
kennybang says âbait 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 kidâ
Remmacs1 says âThis match up is quite literally impossible for Aphelios. Yasuo can run you down and delete your chakrams making it really hard to get favorable fights. I normally dodge this match up, but if you do decide to play it look to play level 1 really aggressive and get lane priority from the get go.â
yougelly says âAhri 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. â
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says âHis 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. â
xxseraphinaaxx says âAbsolutely 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. â
BigFatCat909 says âZed 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.â
P R O L I F I C says âStack 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.â
Johan Paracelso says âYour 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 easilyâ
Johan Paracelso says âHis 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 phaseâ
Hiimkata says âKeep 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.â
ShadowSlayerMain says âTrading 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 youâ
CaptianMike says âIt 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.â
mrsuits says âTough 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. â
Poppi Sama says âDangerous 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.â
Justin58111 says âA 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. â
ParkChnm says âHe 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.â
ParkChnm says âNot 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.â
KataTocDo says âSkill 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 Bladeâ
Aramigo says âYasuo kann durch seine hohe MobilitĂ€t gefĂ€hrlich sein und in Teamfights muss man darauf achten, dass er Eure Ultimate nicht blocken kann.â
Csapi says âHe 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 himâ
bleapintosh says âI'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.â
Jnewbringspain says âHe 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.â
1Recycle Bin1 says âtoo 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 inâ
BubbaStudmuffin says âSome 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. â
wildersovereign says âThis 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.â
ITSDEBEAR says âSimilar to yone but sometimes tends to be tricky with his constant dashes. Play mind games, cancel e sooner, auto whenever the passive is up, etc. Predator lets you punish him harder but electro works as well.â
CastratedSeal says âYasuo counters Nami harder than any other champion. You can never bubble him because he's permanently dashing, and you can never ult or use your bubble as long as his windwall is up. Avoid picking Nami into Yasuo. â
rajsovsky says âMay 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.â
invalidd says âReally 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.â
Chapp says âHe's one of the most extreme opponent. His build on this meta makes you weak, while he's moving around much, and lifesteal like vampire.â
Fox_Gan says âIf 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.â
lkycch says âThe 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.â
SkellyBirb says âYasuo 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.â
lkycch says âThe 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.â
RedNBlue says âThis 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.â
SXafir says âChampions 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.â
KASSAW1N says âKass vs yasuo: Este match es mi preferido ya que no tienes que comprar guardabrazos, Consiste en llevar las runas clĂĄsicas (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, tĂrale la Q para quitarle el escudo, y luego de que tire el tornado, entras por detrĂĄs 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)
â
Rauschel says âYassuo 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.â
iDc101 says âcan'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 himâ
Tortoise_Maniac says â- 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 teleportâ
Big Shawn says âYasuo 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.â
Ambitieux says âVery 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.â
Scyrine says âskill 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. â
BCota says âWindwall 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 himâ
Chili Dog says âCan 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.â
grebe1231 says âSame 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.â
JR Lil Baby Boy says âOkay, 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)â
kimjisoo8 says âAlthough 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.â
Loading..Please wait says âHe 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.â
FalleN3 says âThis '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.â
Redsundark says âso 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 â
Sushi_Cat says âThis 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. â
SkellyBirb says âYasuo 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.â
Last Roar says âPretty 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.
â
PROJECT BZ says âYasuo 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.â
vCraze says âYasuo 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.â
Sadkid says âIf 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. â
OxiteoMyst says âI 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. â
SkellyBirb says âYasuo 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. â
zee160 says âHis 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.â
PedrinhoXD says âYasuo 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 tradeâ
MobbyF says âAgainst Yasuo is skill matchup against Zoe. Beware of Yasuo's Barrier (W) play in the possible safe to not die. If you have a hard time at the route stage buy Seeker's Armguardâ
open_48 says ânot 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.â
MartyBG says âLux'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.â
Cap Jack says âCan 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.â
Stormleon says âHis 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.â
SF Shadow says âIf 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.â
Papzz says âHigh 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.â
economistastonks says âToe 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. â
Elpatronchico says âAnd 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.â
Bobbab says âHe 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.â
sweodigaming says âNot 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. â
Aukaren says âHe 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.â
Midlane God says âIf 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.
â
TheFwnK says âThis champion is easy to fight with, If he blocked your Ultimate with his W. UhmâŠ. 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.â
neverwanted2be says âOnce 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.â
Raigiku says âHe 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.â
Slumberdork says âWhile 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.
â
Trolley. says âHas high mobility and can probably dodge most of your skillshots. Windwall hard counters Seraphine's kit and make her less impactful in teamfightsâ
aL3x888 says âDepends 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.â
KormitLeFrag says âHe 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. â
ItzJavAgain says âhigh 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 Ătem 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% critâ
AkiraHopeXDDDD says âYasuo 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 tradeâ
kenichiii says âFor 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.â
crepezeee says âWindwall 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.â
XayLies says âYasuo 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!â
Osfran says âHigh mobility, a lot of damage, can block all your abilities, you need to be very careful, punish his mistakes and dont make mistakes. â
Yeager says âNeeko 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.â
Yeager says âStart 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. â
PH45 says âCan 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.â
Veigarv2 says âFree 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.â
FalleN3 says âDue 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.â
Lunasta says âYasuo 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 comboâ
Haywyre says âMatchup 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. â
Yeager says âYou 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.â
SkellyBirb says âYasuo 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.â
Frixen says âOne 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. â
FalleN3 says âThis '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.â
PH45 says âWith 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.â
Bouhhsolene says âI'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 !â
SkellyBirb says âYasuo 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.â
Tauricus2017 says âYour W counter's his engage greatly, you win every short fight but in long fights you will struggle, dodge his tornados and feel free to build Randuin's Omen or Ninja Tabi to reduce his damage output.â
FalleN3 says âThis 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.â
SirGobogi says âThis 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.â
Ambience14 says âMundo 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.â
Forscythe says âHe 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.â
Reason97 says âYasuo 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. â
Reason97 says âYas can be tricky. The biggest issue with yas is that it doesnt take much for him to get ahead. one good kill and he can start to win a whole game on his own. However, he's vulnerable too. His wind wall is useless against your blizzard, and if you're fast and have good awareness, you can use his dash against him when he goes to push up and land an easy Q. However, if you struggle against mobility champs, its ok to just focus on farming and playing safe. Remember to use your auto attacks to burst his wind shield regularly. â
I count to seven says âRemember 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 himâ
westbroekie says âtry 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 fightâ
arcanejhin says âdef 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.â
u fool says âA 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.â
ShroudedBRH says âYou can punish this pick early in the game before he access to all of his tools however once he gets 2 items it becomes extremely difficult. Avoid fighting in creep waves and when creep waves are arriving. Fight with teamâ
OverjarlZane says âHe'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 abilityâ
Twist21 says âYasuo is pretty hard to beat if you don't have fury built up so I would recommend just letting him push the first 2 waves into you since his champion is bound to push waves due to his aoe dmg.Once you have fury built up you should be able to win all ins.Standard runes and sums for this one.â
Fadedreformed says âYou 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 fightsâ
Kaiev says âHate 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.â
xXkillercrackXx says âDue 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.â
ShockMaster says âHe 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 goodâ
Yuki H. says âSkill 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.â
fwii says âBreak 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. â
tyo professor says âWindwall 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.â
roadtopenta5 says âEasiest matchu up ever to be honest, you can just harass him with your E AA Q combo till level 6, and then you can all-in , even if he builds PD you will be able to kill him, just rush AD Items like Drakthar.â
BEYBLADE NOXIANO says âEven match up. LvL 1 e 2 dele um pouco mais forte. Lvl 3 vc consegue ganhar, mas comece seu combo com o E e nĂŁo com o Q, pra ele nĂŁo conseguir usar a WindWall.â
Proma says âDblade
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.â
Chiefsnake says âIf 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.â
Defensivity1 says âDont stay too close to the minions, and every time his tornado is up walk out of its range and wait it out to not be knocked up.â
Veralion says âFrustrating matchup, but very winnable with careful play. Yasuo players have a big problem with diving and throwing and 1v5ing and generally being retarded, which is why his winrate is so low. You outtrade him, but since his E has no cooldown a good Yasuo will simply E forward, knock you up for poke, and retreat before you can retaliate. They will also look to Q you when you walk up for farm, being careful to stay out of your range. Yasuo is at his most mobile and dangerous while your creeps are running into lane, so take care while they are if you fall behind. At 6, tag his shield with an E and then all in the second you have the cooldown back while his shield is still down. Count his Q's and try to do this while he is still stacking to his third. Initiating while he has no knockup stacked is much more important than initiating while his shield is down. If he starts dashing at you with 3 stacks, he is planning to knock you up with his E to guarantee his ult. Press R when he gets to you to immune the CC and leave him without his ult's damage, armor shred, and free passive shield. This should guarantee you the win. Alternatively, simply ult through his tornado to initiate. Hold E for a half second to wait for his wind wall, which should be immediate if he knows how much trouble he's in, then find an angle to nail him. Do NOT let him fizzle or dodge your E, as that's where all your power comes from. If he does land his ult, he will always dash through you right afterward, and neither your E nor R are fast enough to beat it, so wait for him to do so. â
Filosh says âCan 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 playerâ
I1oveZombie says âIts 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.â
Nodon says âwhy 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 tbhâ
bruhno says âYasuo can block both your q and e with his windwall so he seems a pretty hard matchup but if you abuse of your range and you root him you can snowball and beat him.
â
Grimkyle says âyasuo 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 â
Dare366 says âLove playing this matchup. It's a true skillmatch up and it tilts the enemy yas everytime. Always get your reduced armor auto in before melee q+w+e. It's just like poking him down and all inning. Should be free just remember that you will most likely have lane prio so help ur jg. â
lessbedone says âBiggest threat. Always ban him or Zed. His damage, low CD, double crit , ult suppresion and gap closing will leave you emptyhanded.â
K3y5 says âYou 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.â
Stiwy says âHasagi ! Hasagi!
The only real threat is his tornado but you can clearly see when he is ready to cast it. If he ever tries to dash to you with his E just predict from where he will come and launch your E.
His wind wall is preety annoying as it will block the first cast of your ult.â
Nooldles says âYasuo is an even matchup which obviously favors him early but as the game goes on you have more agency to outplay. You can steal Yasuo R and use it in tandem with teammates abilities but more importantly with your E2. This can catch them off guard and provides unexpected burst and CC if they aren't aware. Just play around his windwall and your E2 accordingly. His windwall halts Sylas' Q onto the windwall but if Yasuo is on top of his windwall he will still get hit. Keep the wave on your end when possible to minimize his E's effectiveness.â
Omega Zero says â"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.â
ai darkfluid says âYou 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 Rushâ
Raiiny says âNot that hard of a match-up. Depends on the skill of the Yasuo player and yourself. He can block both of your rakes. However if you manage to hit him with your first rake, and uses windwall. You will still get 2 passive. If you have ult you can use it since he can't see you and so he can't use his tornado. â
TheWindWalker says âNot 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.â
Brentonlop says âAlthough 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.â
Zoe Sparklepop says âBe 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.â
Dzsuz says âProbably 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.â
ThatOneKatMain says âReally 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.â
Iruminati says âA 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 mĂȘme votre ulti. vous pouvez le trade en early grace aux combos et aux reset auto du shunpo.â
xtrinity01x says âDisgusting champion. winnable but please, PLEASE take barrier. dodge his tornado and stay back. Just focus on farming and ask your jg for a gank.â
AlolanFairy says âYasuo'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!â

â
MrMoonBird says âHis wind wall can counter every single one of your abilities, so try to bait it out every chance you get and quickly move around him. Yasuo also has good kite potential against you. Play it safe and ask your jungler for help.â
snukumz says âMajor 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. â
1256 says âeverything 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 electroâ
Pentakai says âPlay 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.â
KitsyMamori says âYasuo 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.â
TotallyEclipse says âThis matchup should be free. His q's are auto attacks so look to e his second q to delay his nado and chase him down with your q +e. Rush tabi first item and then the only way he can match you in damage is with an early BF sword, to which he ends up delaying his first crit item. Burn his shield then all in him and you'll win. You can rush bork into this matchup after tabi and kill him over and over again.â
SicKitty says âthis 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,â
LizzyElune says âEste 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.â
Zwengo says âBuild 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.â
Art1val says âAuto-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.â
SimonNGarfunkel says âHe 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.â
PepeOnDrugs says âThis '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.

Lobban says âYou need to outplay him with W, ult and flash to keep him from executing you fast. Also keep in mind of his wind wall when you W+E+Q â
MageSlayerr says âdodge 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 handâ
ImaTastyPancake says âYasuo 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.â
GG Yasuo says âSince 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 5â
Ekko Rush B Guides says âYasuo 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.â
KataFlix says âYasuo 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 armorâ
manipulativexd says âIf 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.â
CallMeDaddyGR says âYasuo 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 qâ
forever0lp says âIf 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.â
audiboo says â 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.
â
Zephorgames says âYasuo is easy to play against, just kill him when you're lv2 or bait him with your W and do Q - R - AA, it's very easy to play against Yasuoâ
panger 174 says âVIRGO 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 yasuoâ
Debonair Karma says âKarma 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.â
Axelote says âAlmost 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.â
Gageowago says âIf 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.â
topal says âIn 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. â
YunaDragoon says âIn 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.â
Ignix0 says âYasuo 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 cdâ
Papapostolou says âEasy 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 fineâ
Kataspina says âSame 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. â
Lil Tidepod says âHis 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.â
Capparelli says âWorth 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 shoveâ
Cheesecake404 says âThis matchup is not as bad as Zed/Talon, I believe. You can kill him late, just attempt to get a lead and don't die early to him.â
Giurg says âHis 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.â
I main support says âHe'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.â
BigBushMan says âYasuo, 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. â
ahrienthusiastmain says âThere'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. â
JccmSaysNom says âDepends on the player who is playing Yasuo, Either the lane will be a breeze (heh) or you will get your ass handed to you, the wall is a big problem even if Yasuo sucks.â
serruh says âcan 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 skirmishâ
Miandros says âTechnically 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.â
Pline says âDashing 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. â
HeyItsLeemo says âAnnoying as hell, he will pick exhaust if he's good, and he will poke you with his undodgable tornados, and then go in for a easy ks with his ult.â
Malmortious says âHe 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.â
Prenora says âyeah, 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 downâ
kujosrevenge says âYou 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.â
The Venerable Racoon says âWhat 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 earlyâ
Inscaped says âSkill 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.â
t3rminated says âSome 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. â
Loki029 says âif he ults you just avoid the fight, he gets 45% armour reduction on you. just go in if he has no ult, then silence to reduce his outplay capability and his w is useless vs a projectile garen (Hint: use w when he decides too fight and ignite when he has warlord and lifesteal)â
santifazio says âSu 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,â
spoilwrc says âGo 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. â
KILLALLATONCE16 says âWELL 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 HIMâ
ur_mom_gay says âFairly 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. â
chrisloths says âYasuo 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.â
theboywhodominatedaplat says âYasuo'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 â
Sloyr says âOne, 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.â
s1rnasty says âThis 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.â
G7_Zeke says âVery 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.â
Gogicha55 says âANNOYING 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.â
Eccentricks says âGod 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.â
8wolf says âHis 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.â
Daedralus says âHis shield and mobility can be a problem, but he cannot duel you either. Your healing is far superior, and the damage reduction from your E makes his initial E+Q combo non-existent. If he throws his tornado at you, Ult him! You cannot be interrupted while you ult, ignoring his tornado + suppressing him + healing yourself a lot + damaging him a lot. If you see him coming with a charged E + Q combo, hold down your Q, as you cannot be displaced while using it, which also stops him from ulting you this way. You can pretty much end a game without ever dealing with his ultimate.â
MrRiots says âStarting 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. â
Gemarn says âHe can windwall your E, if he does not, he can windwall your following Q. So you lose laning phase no matter what, he can just dash in and outtrade you always. Is only playable if you're a lot better than him.â
lmasters says â50/50, 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 safelyâ
HeziEune says âHonestly 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 lolâ
Tehqo says âHe'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.â
NebuIa says âIf 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.â
ApWuKong says âI dont even know why is he so hard, ah yes his e, you e to him he just e's you whole minion wave comes back with his 3 q stuns you ults you and u cant do anything, unless you w run and then he r's your clone.â
Je Suis Azir says âSet 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.â
Tartertoot says âYasuo'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.â
TheSpark says âHis 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.â
DirtyBellyDC says âStay 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!)â
Eriuboom says âMost 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 Eâ
Impswitch says âWind 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....â
INT Zimmi says âA 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. â
GalioPlayer says âMelee 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 .â
cobbzy says âA 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. â
KK Antitoxin says âHis 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.â
ioannissid says âYasuo 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.â
vaske_lol says âAvoid 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.â
HSperer says âHe 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.â
Poppy Kuma says âIf 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.â
Rosalinn says âhe 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 râ
CupOLatte says âProbably 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.â
i am a heron says âyasuo 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.â
BlueCarding says âHe 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.â
charlton says âHe 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.â
Aizenvolt says âAfter Kassadin nerfs on his armor its a hard matchup. Poke him with q e and w when he gets close. His wall cant block your e. When he has his passive up use q to burn it then wait for q to return to engage if you want. Dont trade with basic attacks with him just do your e,w,q combo and get out. Also don't get far from your turret pre 6 because he can use his e and gap close fast and kill you with basic attacks and his q. Dont give him free kills because he can destroy you if he gets ahead. If he gets 1 kill dont leave turret for any reason unless a gank is coming.â
stupid katarina says â(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.â
Poro_King says âif you are playing at low elo, this lane isn't completely unwinnable. He can counter your q+r with his windwall, and he can negate a lot of your damage with his passive shield. always keep his shield down and never approach your minions. Because of his dash it is kinda hard to stun him. I would advise you to stay under turrent, farm, and wait for your late game.â
N1VA says âYasuos 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.â
Mr Scandalous says âYasuo 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.â
Mid Win Repeat says âI 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.â
SupaSnor says âEither the yasuo is shit and you win easy, or you play vs The_Legend_27 yasuo and you are gonna have a rough time, yasuo can go from minor treath to exteme depending on the player. You should have the advantage because he is melee, spacing is super important in this fight.â
Sq_09 says âWorst 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. â
SrAlex-kun says âYasuo 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.â
ToilettenHund says âYasuo 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.â
YeeDS says âCan 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.â
Xelaadryth says âGood matchup for you, but you have to be very skilled at kiting. Don't stand near your creeps as it will give him a free dash to you; stand off to the side (hopefully the warded side). Try to maintain at least one stack on him so that if he engages, you can stun him with Q+W if you need to. Worst case you can E+Q+W to stun and disengage. If he wastes his dash on you, once you get out of auto range you can pepper him with autos, but beware the low cooldown on his Q stabs. Don't waste ult on him if he can jump away with his dash. If his wind wall blocks your charged auto it won't be wasted. If he's standing out in the open, he's probably waiting to wind wall your Q.â
Braddik says âcan 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 wantâ
EvilBird090 says âYasuo 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.â
Calabeast says âThis 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.â
bleezuz says âDont let yasuo dash around and scare u you have a Q to Take his passive away and still can be a scary matchup but usually its freelo.â
Calabeast says âThis 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.â
spark2 says âOne of my least favorite champs, but Ekko does okay against him. He's at his weakest right after he misses his tornado Q, so trade then. Stay away from your minions so he can't get that BS mobility, and know that he can Wind Wall your Q. Also, be sure to pop his shield before you try to trade. If he ults you, ult him right back to undo some of the damage and probably catch him in the radius.â
Lasoor says â[General] Yorick can beat Yasuo, but it relies on being the better player(Neither has inherent advantage and both can burst the other quickly). A skilled Yasuo can beat a less skilled Yorick easily. It is best to melee poke him constantly with your Q before you all in him. Don't all in him unless he is low health and you will usually want your ultimate. â
HeisendongNA says âYasuo 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 Yasuoâ
Cloud375 says âYasuo 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.â
WannabeGenghis says âYasuo is annoying because you'll have to destroy the shield before using Q one him because it won't do any damage if you dont.â
Tayna says âOhno, 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!â
Yu_1 says âSkill 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.â
Garybaldo says âDepends 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 tabiâ
Sneaky boi says âGo 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.â
YoussefJoe says âHigher 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 â
kali Jayce LAS says âDIFICIL:
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.â
Novok says âPlay 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. â
worddog says âWindwall 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.â
SirZeros says âThis is pretty much a skill match up. A big downside for you is his windwall and his great mobility. But he is meleeranged, what makes it easier for you to farm and/or stun him.
He most likely will be way stronger than you late game however...
Especially in 1v1 scenario's, so try to teamfight against him or splitpush until he could come to you, then you just need to go away.
He can counter your E into Q pretty hard with his wind wall and so does he counter your first and most powerful auto attack if he wind walls or just by having his massive passive shield.â
ShuUis says âNow 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!â
MironW says âYasuo 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.â
Flakees says âHaving 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.â
Xalt says âPlay 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!â
ratasniper says âHe 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. â
Euphoric Toaster says âPermaban. 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.â
J Husky says âHe 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.â
xdKami_ says âPlay 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.â
Exscind says âYasuos biggest advantage vs Kat is his windwall. To win this match-up, play around cooldowns and try to only fight after baiting out his W.â
Chromuro says âHis 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 winâ
SeeEl says âAbuse 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. â
Big Shawn says âKennen 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.â
Froakinator says âHe 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.â
DVL CHALLNGR says âSkill Matchup
He can easily dodge your Q's with his E and can block your W and your Passive damage so try to predict where he goes and you will stop his dashâ
DVL CHALLNGR says âSkill 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 youâ
Patoxic says âIt'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.â
Zeyan says âWindwall 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.â
MrxHudsy says âHe 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 youâ
ZenonZeni says âYasuo 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.â
DanDosXR says âHis 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.â
OnlyCheeseBreads says âHe 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.â
Wizboy73 says âIf 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.â
ranyyyy says âNot 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 ultâ
LiakoZ says âYasuo 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.â
Massive Nuts says âYasuo 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.â
Sundown23 says âConqueror 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.â
deixa akali open says âJust 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 predictableâ
TwilightKid Zoe says âHis 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
â
TruePvPYT says âIn 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!â
KadiusFTW says âAs long as you pay attention to yasuo's wind wall (your R penetrates it) and E below you when he dives, you can secure kills easy.â
kiewe says âWith 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.â
Zero Two says âAs 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.â
PizzaMarine says âThis 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.â
vzelt says âYasuo 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.â
SepekuAW says âThis 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!â
Flygenring says âReally 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.â
Xavier Senori says âYasuo is pretty easy to deal with pre-6 because of your Miasma. Yasuo players are notorious for all inning around level 2-3, so just have a point in miasma ready and drop it and move into it whenever they engage on you. This will allow you to get off at least 2-3 Twin Fangs while you retreat. Take Exhaust, invest in armor runes, harass him whenever he tries to CS, and avoid confrontation in your minion line, as he will just dash around, making it impossible for you to land your Q's. Buy an early Seraph's Embrace/RoA and Zhonya's Hourglass and you should be able to easily out duel him at all stages of the game.â
The Jhin Cena says âGrab a Randuin's as your 5th item when facing him. Unless fed, he shouldn't be too hard. If they have no AP, then grab a Randuin's as your 2nd item instead of Visage. Your lifesteal will make you win 1v1s against him.â
PandaSenpai101 says âParry his tornado/3rd Q. Some Yasuo players will windwall, which cancels the parry. However, that's fine, because he can't R. â
Kaized says âCan 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.â
