Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 with superior range and poke damage, but lose most post-6 all-ins if Yasuo successfully engages with R.
- Your early game advantage is significant enough to build meaningful leads before his power spike.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke when he goes for CS, followed by W-E combo if he tries to engage through minions.
- Always position to hit Q through multiple minions to maximize damage and maintain your range advantage.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes to keep minions between you and Yasuo, denying his E mobility while allowing safe Q poke.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can immediately recall, as this gives him ideal minion positioning for all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your E stun aggressively unless you're certain of the kill, as missing it gives him a free all-in window.
- Don't stand too close to low-health minions, as this telegraphs his E dash angles and limits your positioning options.
