Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through superior range and poke, but Yasuo's level 2 E-Q combo can punish positioning mistakes.
  • Post-6 you have kill pressure with R if you land E, but Yasuo's mobility makes him difficult to lock down consistently.

How to Trade

  • Your best trades involve landing E to root him, then following with W-Q combo while he's immobilized.
  • Avoid extended trades where he can stack Q tornado or use his passive shield effectively.

Wave Control

  • Push early waves to establish range advantage and deny his minion mobility, but be prepared to give up CS when he has tornado stacked.
  • After level 6, maintain slow pushes to set up all-ins with your ultimate.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E on minions or when Yasuo has his passive shield up, as this removes your primary engage tool.
  • Avoid fighting in large minion waves where he can dash freely and extend trades with his superior DPS.
