Darius is that champion that dominates any champion if they aren't playing safe enough. As Yasuo, just try to use your E to get either away from his q, or into it if you can't get out in time. Since it will obviously do more damage and heal him when it hits the outside. Focus on farming with your E and Q from distance and just don't trade, poke him with tornado and q him while his Q is down. If you get to late game the armour penetration build can do at least something to him but don't feed him or else you pretty much automatically lose the game, coming from someone who plays a lot of the dunk master himself. Avoid ever picking Yasuo into Darius no matter what, you're better with someone who can at least out trade him like Renekton, which is also a huge threat to Yasuo.
Dr. Mundo
Mundo as you should know is a really hard hitter, that has a ton of poke. Just let him kill minions and push you under your turret, farm with e then dash back away behind you minions before he can hit you with his dumb little cleaver. Call for ganks at 6 and you can get a kill but just poke him before then.
Renekton
Avoid playing Yasuo against this big bullying. If he dashes through his minions, it's obvious he'll try to trade with you. If you trade with him level 3 he will dash through his minions and stun you, then q and chunk you for half your health. Just q the minions, and dash away once you see him hit level 3. It's a farm lane if you let him push to your own turret. Also late game, don't let him jump on your carry or he'll 1 shot your ADC and the team fight is already won. Knock him up whenever you see him get greedy for your ADC and your team will turn on him and cc him then kill him. He can easily tower dive you at level 6 because of the health regen on his ultimate but just try to get away or knock him up under your turret and ult him then dash away and try to kill him.
Fiora
Fiora can easily out trade you. Dash through your minions to confuse him and make it hard for her to hit the mark that's on your side of your champion. If the mark is facing towards her, run away into fog of war, it will make her go behind your minions and the minion aggro will cause you to win the trade 90% of the time. Try to keep the minions in the middle of the lane and always stay warded, get your jungle to go in the ward through the tri-bush, then knock Fiora up, your jungler will CC her and it's pretty much a kill.
Hecarim
Hecarim counters you just because of his levels of CC and base damage. You should only trade with him at level 2 with your e and q combo then poke with q, knockup with your e+q combo then dash away using his minions. He's not that hard if you just play smart and keep his long cool downs in mind, but his q is on a 4 second cool down so beware of that!
Olaf
Avoid Olaf's hatchet, and if he using his abilities to kill a minion you can trade with him. Pretty much just farm up and get to late game.
Gnar
GIZMO! It's sort of easy to predict his q, and go in once he tries to catch his boomerang, it will be on a 8 second cooldown. And if you scare him off enough he won't catch it. Once you're level two, He will get those two auto attacks on you and get those red circles around you. Dash away quick so he can't proc that third hit or it will chunk you for a lot of damage. Once he's mega gnar, just let his rage bar run out and if you're feeling gutsy, try to avoid his W stun by dashing around and his Q as well, it can hit you through minions because of the AOE damage. Usually a really easy lane for Yasuo.
Sion
This is a pretty easy lane for Yasuo, since your dash is just too fast for him. His W can be easily avoided since he will use it after you e+q him and the shield will be pretty useless, then poke a minion with your q and then e+q combo him for the knockup then dash through the minions before he can drop the axe on you.
Ekko
This guy can either outplay you, or you can outplay him. Consider taking ignite so that his ult won't heal him for as much and try to e away from his time winder, and dash away from his third hit passive just like against gnar.
Illaoi
If you play good against her you can dash away or through her to dodge her Q, and if she hits you with her tentacle pull dash away immediately and then hit the tentacles that spawn for some extra gold. It only lasts for 10 seconds so it's fine.
Vladimir
Vlad's poke is beyond annoying. Wait for him to use his q on the minions and his e then just trade with him and once you're level 3 it becomes a bit easier since you can bait out his combo while pretending to go for a minion then combo him then dash back through the minions.
Zed
This is another skill match up. Once the lanes minions get low at level 1 stay away from the minions and wait for him to q your minions to wave clear then trade with him then dash away once he autoattacks you twice so your shield will be gone and one little patch of health and usually he'll have three little patches of health left. Level 2 because really easy up until level 6. Wait for him to ult you. Then once he becomes targetable again dash through your own minions so he really doesn't get much off the death mark. Now his combo is down and you can trade with him. Use your e+q combo, windfall his shirukens after he ults you then get your tornado. If you're lucky enough to hit the tornado then ult him after getting an auto off just incase you need the extra damage. Always try to do this! Then just kill him after that.
Wukong
Wukong is really squishy. If he goes balls deep on your into your minion wave use you'd co,boy with him, poke with q, then tornado him at level 2. At level 6 he usually tries to dash to you and ult you so make sure you aren't low health. Try to dash away from his ultimate and then e+q tornado him then use your ultimate if you got him to low health by now.
Gangplank
Gangplank is pretty easy. Dash to his barrels and kill them, then jump onto him and combo him. Don't stand in his ult because it does a lot of damage, and don't let him farm effectively with his Q or barrels. If he's a good gangplank he will eat his orange to stop you from knocking him up. If he does this dash away and don't let him trade with you until you have your tornado up again.
Riven
Riven has the upper hand in this one. Her base damage is very high so don't try to trade, just poke with your Q and try not to get CC'd by her abilities and wait for her shield to go away before poking her again, because it's just useless trying to get the shield away because by the time that's gone you're already at half health.
Garen
Garen can be annoying because of his completely brain dead play style, but just farm, let him spin to win your lane. Farm under turret and if he gets you low health at level 6 jus recall, you'll get dived and die easily unless you outplay with your tornado and ultimate.
Thanks for using my guide and I hope you read all the notes and writing I did, because it's very helpful. Best of luck on the fields of justice and try to get them Yasuo outplays! :D
