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

V222 says “1.Always start Q and try to hit him with it while last hitting to proc his Boneplating and passive shield so can get a favorable trade level 2 and onwards. Never trade him when he has Boneplating and passive up. 2.You want him to use his E into you, which gives you more control over the lane. 3.Once you get Dusk and Dawn the matchup becomes easier (you outscale him if as long as you don't fall behind in gold and XP). 4.Keep the wave on your side, he cant run you down and higher chance that your jungler comes to your lane.”
darysvoljes says “A good Ezreal can find a balance to win trades on this lane but beware his Windwall, he literally blocks every attack from you. Try to poke him as much as possible and you are getting dash+q'd jump out of it with E, he can't hit you. You can also do this with his ult and get some distance between him and you. Go Ignitne or TP.”

Zero macro says “Lux has quite a hard matchup into Yasuo, this is due to Yasuo his gap closer + windwall combination that can freely reach Lux without getting Lux Q snared. Its recommended for Lux to start Q lvl 1 against Yasuo E start —> Lux Q Snare stops Yasuo E Dash!!! Lux has quite a strong statcheck into Yasuo in the early laning phase, she should use this to create a lead against Yasuo. Later on Lux has to be aware of Yasuo R gap closer which can be gained from his teammates' knock ups as well + Yasuo E mobility through units + Track Yasuo windwall cooldown —> Knowing those limits allows Lux to poke Yasuo in a safe way. Its recommended for Lux to play with a combat summoner and pressure Yasuo with E slow/poke —> bait windwall to setup for Lux Q. ”

whoisamyy0 says “In early game you won't be able to proc grasp often since yasuo is able to punish that. Yasuo has lots of damage in late game and you have like armor, so you're gonna get hurt and be forced to play against him just like an assasin. Rules against him are simple: proc his passive and be calm”

Reize22 says “he just statcheks you all the time and if he's good you can't kill him in the laning phase. whenever he dashes to you throw your q aa and e to proc passive. call for your jungle cuz 99% of yasuo will just hardpush into you. Go TP”
Kotlet21 says “toplane aery + precision. one of the worst matchup since he has so many dashes just try to survive XD midlane elec + precision. its not that bad here you can win with your range, consider going zhonya's third or even second”

BriarFeetLicker says “The Nasus vs Yasuo matchup is extremely easy and almost free. Early levels are very safe for Nasus because Yasuo relies heavily on minion waves to trade effectively. Nasus can farm Q stacks behind minions without worrying about harassment. His Wither makes trading unfavorable for Yasuo, as it cripples his mobility and burst potential. Once Yasuo hits level 6, his R (Last Breath) can be threatening in coordinated all-ins, but with proper spacing, wave management, and defensive Wither usage, Nasus can continue to stack Q safely and avoid all-ins.”
EueAmor says “Yasuo tem todas as ferramentas necessárias para ganhar de Naafiri. O W dele cancela nosso Q, o E dele pode nos alcançar facilmente, se ele usar na nossa passiva.”

L0ganJG says “Yasuo is a weird matchup. If you choose the fights, the matchup seems free. If you misstep even 1 frame too far sometimes he one shots you. I like to fight for level 3 kills by Q'ing him for PTA proc level 2 then W1>auto>Q>auto>W2 ignite. If he plays very defensively then sometimes you can be given no real chances outside of random situations you create or the lobby creates. Buffering E into his knockup Q3 is ALWAYS the correct play. Fully charging E can be useless, sometimes taking a half charge for a slow is better since windwall blocks it. Overall, Yasuo favored but isn't impossible by any means”

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

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

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

Saneryus says “Skill M.U. Early levels, if he's semicompetent you won't have early priority unless he misses his Qs. Early levels, play to let him shove and hold the wave as long as possible on your side. When the wave is on his side, just stay in range to soak XP since he can run you down. This match up is all about spacing/kiting. **Windwall - his windwall prevents projectiles as everyone knows. This means he can block both your E and ranged autos. HOWEVER, Kayle autos are coded differently based on the distance that you auto. If you auto ranged distance, they are ranged projectiles. IF you auto in melee ranged, they are no longer projectiles and you can actually auto yasuo even if he windwalls if you stand in melee range. - Standard PTA - DBlade / Cloth armor (if you think you'll be dove level 3 against ad enemy jungler) - Q Max - Flash/TP or Exhaust/TP”
PokeRoyal2007 says “Same as Yone, but he can cancel your E with his W, so try to bait him. Don´t all in him if he has the shield active, try to poke it out first.”
Meta Irelia Top Guide by PokeRoyal2007 | Irelia Player
ObiW says “He is dangerous at Levels 1-2 due to his mobility and Q poke, so play passively. Once you hit Level 3, you dominate him. Rule #1: Pop the Bubble. Always use a quick Tap-Q or an auto-attack to break his Passive Shield (Flow) before you commit your W stun. If you jump while his shield is up, you lose significant damage. Serpent's Fang is excellent here to neutralize his passive resets and Immortal Shieldbow.”
PoEs_tk says “care lv1 if he has exhaust , try to chill and then all in at level 6 , its better to fight when there aren't many minions”

Claude Rains says “You can win vs him pre lv 3 pretty easy (make sure if he takes LT to not all in / take to much dmg early on, you win level 2/3 thought if you poke him to 80% ish. After that you definitly need mobility to not get all in'd. Tabi rush dorans blade start sheen and prolly 1600g zhonya item will help you a lot, delays your progression if you screw up and you may end up stuck if you dont win it with a lot of armor and not enough dmg to kill others, so be carefull here!”

TENSION019 says “Grasp, Doran Shield, Flash and Ghost. Once you buy an armor item, the Yasuo matchup becomes easy. Just be careful when there are minions around, since that is basically his entire mobility system.”
The River King by TENSION019 | Tahm Kench Player
zwartebliksem says “Flash + Ignite Very skill based matchup, but I would say it's Kled favored ever so slightly. You have better sustain and damage, but he has a lot more outplay potential. Before you go in, look to destroy his passive shield with your Q. Make sure to land your E onto him, so you can chase him while he dashes around.”
