Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Yasuo's superior range, mobility, and poke potential with Q.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R's defensive stats and burst potential, but Yasuo still maintains advantages in extended trades if he manages his passive shield and Q stacks properly.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using Q to gap close when Yasuo wastes Q3 tornado or is positioned poorly, then immediately activating E to dodge his damage and auto-attacks.
- Follow up with W reset and disengage before he can retaliate with extended auto-Q combos.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to limit Yasuo's mobility options and force him to overextend for CS.
- Avoid hard shoving as this gives him free reign to roam and denies you opportunities to punish his aggressive positioning.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never Q onto Yasuo when he has Q3 tornado ready or when the wave is heavily in his favor with multiple minions for E dashes.
- Getting knocked up in a large minion wave often results in death due to his extended combo potential and your inability to trade back effectively.
