This guide is freaking awesome, man. But in patch 10.24 Yasuo's passive got nerfed with Rageblade, and I think this item is less viable as a first item on Yasuo now.

100th comment :) Nice guide my bro, check out my version of guide and tell me if you liked it, I'd like to hear a comment from a Challenger ;)

Also BOTK now gives crit chance, you could give it a try.

What about Navori Quickblades? Are they viable?

Both PD and Immortal Shieldbow?

(1) |

If you ask me(i am otp) you shouldn't go for pd. Rush boots as he says than go importal sheildblow, infinity edge, bloodthrister and then you can go for any other situational items(Deaths Dance, Maw of malmortius)

Am I able to run this top as well?

Can I run triumph instead of overheal? I feel like I don't get much value out of it. It don't see a shield at all. Is it meant for the late game?

Hello, nice guide! However I don't really agree with some of your items composition. In fact vs ad/ap comps, if you only take phantom dancer as attack speed item you won't have 1.33s cooldown on the Qspell. Then may I go on berserker or on another attack speed item ? Another question what do you think about death's dance in third item ?

I have a question for you: I have long since debated whether is better in mid lane or top lane. I keep seeing guides for both lanes and even though I would like to play a little more often, I'm not sure which lane should I play in. So my question, what is in your opinion the best lane? As this being your favourite champion and all.

Edit: If you mention this somewhere in your guide and I missed it, I apologize.

I'm not sure if i can give you an answer to that question because i think he's good mid and top. It depends on what lane + matchups you prefer playing against. I was always a midlaner + i know how to play against most of the match ups mid so i stick to that lane.
I can talk about the pros/cons for mid + top and maybe it can help you decide where you want to play him:

Midlane :
+ Can be blindpicked most of the time because he does well into a lot of mages. The other champs you will play against are often skill matchups.

+ You have more impact on the map during the laning phase. You can roam to top/botside or even help your jungler invade or fight for objectives like scuttle / dragon / herald.

- Mid is the easiest lane to gank for a jungler. doesn't have a reliable escape tool.

- Mid is also mostly known for being the waveclear and "key" AP/magic damage of the team. If you pick an AD mid like and your team refuses to pick AP somewhere else, you are screwed. -> 5x ninja tabi + full armor + point and click CC from the enemy team.

Toplane :
+ Your team can pick AP + waveclear mid so you're not playing with a full AD comp.

+ Splitpush with . is a REALLY strong splitpusher because of his kit and scaling. With you can pressure on a sidelane and still be ready to help your team if a fight breaks out.

- Risky to blindpick because of some really bad matchups like and . There are other picks he also struggles against: , , , but they CAN be won if you are experienced.

- Top can be very punishing in higher elos. Bad wave management or difficult matchups can lead to the enemy top + jungler camping/diving you over and over. (So basically top is jgl difference)

I hope this helped you :)

Actually it helps a lot. From what I can I gather from your answer, it gives me the idea that it would be best to learn to play in the mid lane instead. Honestly, I also always felt he was meant to be a mid laner instead of top, it's just that he's good in both, like you said. In that case, I'll study your guide to get better at it. is hard and, well, I'm low so I need to work on it. Thanks for the detailed answer.
