Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke, as Yasuo cannot effectively engage without minions to dash through.
- Post-6 the matchup shifts heavily in Yasuo's favor since his R gives him guaranteed gap-close potential and your R provides no combat value in 1v1s.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using Q from maximum range when Yasuo is away from minions, then immediately backing off to avoid his E-Q combo.
- Never try to auto-attack trade as his passive shield and higher DPS will win extended fights.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Yasuo minions for mobility while keeping the wave in a safe position.
- Avoid hard shoving as this gives him easy E dashes and makes you vulnerable to ganks in an extended lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W gold card aggressively unless Yasuo has no minions nearby, as he can easily E through minions to dodge it and then all-in you.
- Don't waste your range advantage by walking up for unnecessary trades when you can farm safely and impact other lanes with R.
