It's a losable matchup but it's heavily favoured towards you, just don't try and dive her and you'll be good, If her jungler has a lot of cc, go cleanse/
Akali
It's slightly skewed towards her but it's largely a skill matchup. Try and predict where in her shroud she'll be, and if you land your q's you'll win.
Anivia
Very annoying matchup but very easy to survive. Run fleet/resolve and just sustain through the lane and setup plays with your jungler.
Annie
You can try and cheese her with e start, but she has 2 spells that go straight through your windwall. Go shieldbow and just survive.
Aurelion Sol
No one plays this champ, just go e start and bully the **** out of them.
Azir
Very annoying matchup, its nearly impossible to get onto him, he can hit you from ridiculously far away. Also, if you ever ult behind him he can just ult you back into his tower and make you hate your life.
Brand
I'd barely consider him a midlaner but he's a very easy matchup. You can windwall his r and his q and he should never be able to land a w.
Cassiopeia
Very similar to anivia, just run fleet/resolve and sustain for as long as you can. Her W is very annoying but you can windwall her e, which is pretty much all of her damage.
Corki
Completely free matchup, he can never land ****. The only time he can win is if he uses his package to knock you into his tower when you greed for plates.
Diana
Kind of like the akali matchup but harder, the fact that she can instantly stack conqueror makes it a rough matchup. Just try to land your q's and wind wall hers. Despite being a terrible matchup, you can actually run conqueror against her.
Ekko
Skill matchup, just be weary of him ulting onto you as the damage is disgusting. Try to ignite him just before he ults so the heal is less.
Fizz
The matchup sucks because of his e and it's virtually impossible to trade with him early. Although you can block his r, the shark just inhabits the area in front of the windwall, and forces you away from the entire area. Take fleet/domination and just chill, because he doesn't have that much kill pressure against you.
Galio
Galio is virtually impossible to kill and his short trade with aftershock is amazing. He can build armguard/steelcaps, but on the other hand he has very little kill pressure on his own.
Gangplank
Although I've never played the matchup, most GP mid players say it's easy. As for how to counter it, try to dodge all the barrels you can, and wait for him to passive auto a minion before you go in. Also try to wind wall his Q.
Heimerdinger
Feels alot like cassio/anivia, take fleet resolve and just focus on farming. You can use your e to dash through his turrets. Also, try and position your wind wall in such a way that you block 2 or even 3 of his turrets.
Irelia
Although you can windwall her E and her R, she will literally just auto you to death. Try and catch her without 5 stacks, or you can rarely win even if you dodge and block all of her spells.
Karma
She has absolutely 0 kill pressure on you. Take fleet/domination and start e to cheese her level 1 when she doesn't have all her spells.
Karthus
Same as karma.
Katarina
Yasuo absolutely destroys katarina. You win trades level 1-5 unless she disengages right after getting a trade off. At level 6, you can knock her up out of her ult or use your wind wall to block the ult damage. Take conqueror/domination and run her over.
LeBlanc
Very hard to kill because she's so slippery. The best way to kill her is to ignite her before her passive activates, so you know which one is the real one. Also, the ring around them indicating your e cooldown helps yasuo see which one the real one is. Run fleet/domination and just play with your jungler.
Lissandra
Similar to leblanc in the sense that she's completely impossible to kill. Just dont try to dive her. Go e lvl 1 and try to catch her before she has her e or w.
Lucian
Virtually impossible to get on him, and his level 2 trade is ridiculous. Take fleet resolve and pray that you land a hurricane level 6, or get some ganks from your jungler.
Lux
Lux is like ahri but way easier. Take fleet/domination and just trade with her whenever you want, she can barely fight back.
Malzahar
His q and ult both ruin you and his e is impossible to block. Similar to anivia/cassio/heimer, just farm and hope. He can't ever kill you unless you massively misplay, or he brings his jungler at level 6.
Neeko
You can do e start to try and catch her when she doesn't have her e, but the matchup is very annoying. Post level 3 getting onto her is a struggle, and it's very hard to e out of her ult. However, you can kill her pre 6 if she ****s up, and post 6 her full combo doesn't do enough damage.
Nocturne
Literally unwinnable, **** this matchup, if you're against nocturne mid just say a prayer to the deity that you believe in.
Orianna
Orianna poke is very annoying, but her base armour is so low that any damage you do back to her is a struggle for her. Your wind wall makes her ball stop at the wind wall, so just be wary of her ulting you.
Pantheon
Same as nocturne, the pantheon has to be completely stupid to let you win. Just pray that he doesn't dive you honestly, and wait for ganks.
Qiyana
Her level 3 all in is insane, but you can abuse your very strong level 2 to make it so that she's too low level 3 to actually try and kill you. if you don't think she can go in level 3 then take 2 points in q, and go fleet/domination.
Renekton
Same as panth and nocturne. His w just destroys your passive shield instantly, and if he goes pta he can half hp you whenever he feels like it/ Only way to win is farm under tower and play to scale.
Rumble
His q just ignores your wind wall, and his r ****s you. His shield makes trading impossible. Take fleet/domination and hope for ganks.
Ryze
One of the easier mage matchups, go fleet/domination and block his q with wind wall so he can't get his phase rush off. If your jungler ganks he should just die.
Swain
Block his e and he can't do anything to you, ignite him when he ults and trade with him around your w cd.
Sylas
His e damage is really high if you don't dodge it or block it with your wind wall. He can use your ult with his e. On the other hand, he runs out of damage and then you can start wailing on him as long as he doesn't have too much armour.
Syndra
You can just block all of her spells with your wind wall. The only hope she has is getting her jungle to level 2 gank, if she doesn't get this then it's smooth sailing from then on.
Talon
Talon can actually beat you because his level 2 is better than yours. Level 3 the matchup turns in your favour, but then at 6 he can use his ult to dodge your q. On the other hand, you can block his r daggers with your wind wall.
Tristana
She's kind of like pantheon/nocturne/renekton but ranged, the only hope you have is wind walling her e and then praying to get on her.
Twisted Fate
Basically the same as corki, he can never kill you and you can just windwall his gold card. You can also knock him up out of his ult if he tries to roam.
Veigar
His cage can cause you issues, but other than that it's a completely free matchup.
Vel'Koz
As much as i despise velkoz, you can wind wall his e and his champ gets screwed. Run either fleet page and just relax.
Viktor
His poke is rough and his w zones you. He can stick his ult to you and you can't really wind wall much. However, he has virtually no kill pressure, so you don't have to worry about getting screwed over.
Vladimir
He can pool your knockup, and his q and r both go through your wind wall. You can try and block his e with your windwall and all in him level 6, which should work if you hit all your q's.
Xerath
He can poke you but you can also just run fleet and resolve to completely negate all of it. His e is easy to wind wall, and his squishiness and lack of mobility makes him fairly easy to kill.
Yone
Skill matchup, wait for him to waste his w on poking and then go in on him.
Zed
The matchup is heavily dependent on good wind wall usage, and can be anywhere from a tiny to major threat depending on how good you are at blocking his q's. Try and bait his shadow before using your tornado.
Ziggs
Poke is annoying and his e zones you off, but if you force him to waste it you can then re-engage and bully him.
Zoe
Just block her e and it's free.
Malphite
Broken combo.
Wukong
Broken combo.
Alistar
His W Q is knockoff malphite r, making him a great synergy.
Hecarim
Hecarim mid ganks secure a kill every time, he can knock people with his e and then you ult them.
Jarvan IV
Not an insane synergy but if he gets a good E Q then the cc chain is painful to play against.
Gragas
As long as you instantly ult before the r scatters them it's good.
Nautilus
If a naut roams mid and lands his hook post 6 it's a free kill, but his ult isn't actually that good with yasuo.
Nunu & Willump
If they group and you get snowball into your r and then nunu r, you can wipe an entire team 2v5
Cho'Gath
Good if they all group for some reason.
Darius
If he gets a big flash e then you can wipe an entire team.
Gnar
Gnar ult is a huge aoe knockup, if gnar gets a good engage the game is over.
Ornn
Good combo but honestly not as good as people think.
Poppy
Poppy r into yasuo r isn't a hugely reliable combo but if it works it's insanely good.
Braum
The ult combo is insanely strong.
Tristana
Secures a free 1 shot but otherwise not amazing.
Sett
Sett has to r into e, but if he does it well then it's very strong.
Trundle
Good for ganks but not much else.
Taliyah
Great for getting picks, and unlike most others it doesn't rely on the other person having to ult.
Rell
Very similar to malphite, but not quite as good.
Xin Zhao
Same as gragas just slightly worse,
