Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page
Yasuo Q counts as autoattack, Jax E dodges it, no way a descent jax can loss this lane 1v1, just engage on the right moment when he is standing away from
minions or he will E on minions and you will waste your stun. Zone him away, be care of the jungler.
A decent Yasuo would just use his E carefully to kite jax around wasting his E. Yasuo can easily kill a jax if played properly
Yasuo Q only counts as an AA when it hits the first target, the second target and onwards will not count as AA.
Vel'Koz
Vel'Koz has a kit consisting of 4 skillshots making him very vulnerable to champions with dashes.
Abusing his slow moving ultimate with a dash or a blink into / behind Vel'Koz.
Save your heavy CC to interrupt his Lifeform Disintegration Ray. It hits heavily and can be the difference from winning and losing team fights.
A lot of Vel'Koz' damage is applied by his passive which applies true damage. Thus stacking MR against him is less effective than against other magic damage casters. Try to wait out stacks applied beforehand before engaging.
Riven
Yasuo can't stab Riven without risking a full combo and death. His projectile is easily dodged. Sweeping Blade's internal cooldown is long enough that he cannot outplay Broken Wings. He can use Wind Wall to block Wind Slash and still die.
This lane match up should be very easy, unless Riven really screws up early, which honestly isn't that hard. Use your E to dodge the tornado and wait for his Q to go on cooldown before going in, to limit his damage output in a skirmish.
Try not to use your abilities to last hit, use only your aa. Save your abilities to deny Yasuo his farm, they are too much for him to handle
Avoid getting poked by his Q at level 1, try to be aggressive only when you've added your W at level 2/3.
Nidalee
Use your wall to block her spears. This can be useful in lane and in grouping. The easiest way to land a knock up is to E to nidalee and Q. It can be hard to land a ranged knockup with all of nidalee's mobility.
The best time to attack a Nidalee is just after she's coming out of cougar form, as it'll be a few second before she can return to it and pounce away. At close range with no cougar, she should pose no real threat.
If she hits you with her spear, she will probably chase you in cougar form. You can use that as a bait to outplay her. When she jumps on you, dash through her. That way you will dodge her E and have a chance to out-trade her.
Stay passive in lane and farm, maybe blocking some speers w/ your wall, then if you got stattiks shiv or if there has been a nice opportunity before, charge q and e on her to safely land the knock up, remember to buy wards, 2 be sure there is no jgl!
Nidalee will not stand yasuo. His crit chance is very high and static shyv poke will make her suffer in lane. His flow also counters her burst damage and he can lifesteal his hp back while gaining flow shield again.
Malzahar
Buying a Quicksilver Sash will let you stop him from suppressing you with his ultimate
Avoid being next to a minion marked by Malzahar's Malefic Visions - as it may spread onto you!
Voidlings last 21 seconds - it's good to keep a counter on how long he will have his pet.
Malzahar puts out a lot of AoE damage. He has an AoE silence who can screw up your entire team, and can do a lot of damage even to bruisers and tanks. However, Malzahar as no escapes. For these reasons, it's recommended to always focus him on teamfights
Ahri
All of Ahri's abilities are telegraphed projectiles, you can easily Windwall any of them. Ideally you should windwall her Charm to avoid the CC and damage amplification from it
Ahri has a very skillshot reliant kit as the most part of her damage is weighted into her Charm/Orb combo. You should abuse the ability of accidentally dodging it by spamming your E on minions during laning phase
Late game you can pop her entire combo with your windwall, even if she isn't targeting you. You should look for this opportunity since your 1 ability can pretty much make her worthless in a teamfight.
Ahri doesn't have reliable enough damage or the mana sustain to handle your harass. You should constantly E onto her and stab her and then E away whenever you can, she will not be able to trade favourably. Even if she lands a Charm, her mana can't take
She is very Squishy! Dont be afraid attacking her but be careful of her Charm and attack only if her Charm is on Cooldown. Use your Windwall to block her Q and Charm and go all in!
