You can block everything but the wall and slows are annoying. Just, dodge **** block **** and hit her hard
Brand
You can block his ult and q which helps a lot. Dodge his flame pillar and you should be fine
Azir
He's not too mobile which makes it easy(ish) to fight him, don't be in range of his soldiers. Once he hits 6 it'll become annoying but your ult can go through his.
Ahri
Skill matchup. She's highly mobile and a ***** to deal with. Try to read her moves and don't get poked.
Akali
Not as rough of a counter since the nerfs to her. She can still be a problem but try to poke her down and get ahead pre 6.
Annie
**** this *****. No counterplay. Block q's stay out of range when she has stun and try to get ganks from your jungler
Cassiopeia
You can block her W and E. Make sure you're blocking her E or else you'll take a ton of damage and die. Try to E through the minions to dodge her Q
Cho'Gath
Poke him and dodge ****. It's like Annie in a sense to the counterplay. Try to poke him and go in when you know you can win. Watch out for is ult and try to get ganked cuz he's not very mobile
Diana
Block her Q. Can be dangerous post 6
Fiora
Hard to deal with, out damages you unless you're ahead. Her W can block your Q so wait till it's on CD
Fizz
Mobile and hard to deal with because his E can dodge your knock up. So wait for his E to be down and try to block his shark
Galio
Try not to dive him because of his ult
Heimerdinger
Play safe and try not to get poked down too much. Try to all in him if anything and Wind Wall his turret damage
Jax
Can dodge your Q and is tanky. Do not fight him 1v1 unless you know you have the upperhand. Try to seek help from your jungler if anything
Jayce
Has high damage. Just block his empowered Q
Karma
Block Q, try not to get snared
Karthus
You can't block anything with your Wind Wall, just try to dodge his Q with your E
Kassadin
He's an AP melee champion. So it should be rather easy. Don't get poked down before you fight and block his Q
Katarina
You can block her ult with your Wind Wall so if she all ins you make sure you do that
Kayle
**** Kayle. Her ult is annoying, block her Q. There isn't too much counterplay to her ult
Kennen
Block his Q, and watch out for his ult it might take you by surprise
Kha'Zix
Be careful with his stealth because you can't really ult him when he's invisible. Block his W because its the only thing you can block. Poke him down before fighting him and make sure a minion wave is there so he doesn't get isolation damage on you
LeBlanc
You can block her whole combo but watch out because she can W through your Wind Wall. She has a ton of burst and is virtually ungankable so...yeah watch out
Lee Sin
Block his Q, or just dodge it
Lissandra
Watch out for her ult. Try to poke her before fighting and Wind Wall her ****
Malzahar
His ult is annoying af, and you can't block his ****. Try to take exhaust and try to exhaust him before he ults because you can't exhaust him while he's ulting
Master Yi
You can fight him early but watch out because he can dodge your knock up. Late game he'll **** you up if you don't have your team
Morgana
**** the snare. Block it. Watch out for ult. Her spell shield blocks your knock up
Nidalee
Block her spear then you can outdamage her. Make sure you block the spear, block it
Olaf
Can ult your ult and in doing so negates your ult, don't fight him, get your jungler or team to help
Orianna
You can block her Q, but it'll just stop it in its tracks. Don't get poked down and try to dodge her Q-W combo
Pantheon
Annoying af. You can't ever out damage him unless you get fed and he doesn't. He can block your Q with his passive and **** this man, you need your jungler's help. Watch out for his stun and the man deals a **** ton of damage
Riven
Out of Yasuo's "main" counters Riven is the weirdest. I often beat her but a good Riven can **** you up. Try to poke her down and don't all in her. Don't get me wrong she's still hard to deal with so ask your jungler for help. You can Wind Wall her basic attacks when she ults and try to block her Wind Slash with it too
Ryze
As soon as he snares you, Wind Wall all of his attacks
Swain
Don't get snared. As soon as he hits you with the bird thing, try to break out of it. Try to Wind Wall his Q. You can also Wind Wall his ult
Syndra
Don't get stunned, Wind Wall her ult, dodge her Qs with your E
Talon
His combos are super quick and don't forget he blinks behind you. Try to block his W and you should be able to out damage him pre 6
Teemo
He has constant harass and his blind makes your Q useless unless you have knock up. So try to block his blind
Tryndamere
Out damages you and **** his ult. Get help
Twisted Fate
Block his stun and Wild Card and you should be good, he's not mobile so just **** him up
Veigar
Don't get stunned and block his ult and you're good
Vel'Koz
You can block everything except ult, dodge his other stuff with your E
Viktor
Block his Death Ray and Q, don't get poked or he'll **** you
Vladimir
Can dodge your ult, lots of sustain, can't block much.
Xerath
Can't block his Q, so block his stun and don't get poked. Try to all in before getting poked
Yasuo
Block his knock up with your Wind Wall. If you want to knock him up do your E-Q combo
Zed
Annoying to fight, very mobile. TAKE EXHAUST. Exhaust him after he ults.
Well I may not be a Diamond player but I am a very experienced Yasuo player and I'm in Gold right now.
Average KDA is 3.15:1
9.4/5.4/7.5 (SEASON 5)
I have a 60% win rate with him in ranked.
I think I'm good, I don't lose lane often as Yasuo and my mechanics are on point with him.

Build Paths
Build Paths
So for me I've narrowed down the build paths for Yasuo to more or less 2 different paths.
1. Blood Thirster Path
2. Blade of the Ruined King Path
Key differences in the two paths.
In Path 1, you go Berzerker Boots and in Path 2 you go defensive boots.
I think Path 2 is better for beginner Yasuo players because not only is it very strong but it is also tanky enough for you to survive a long time in team fights.
General tips throughout the game
General tips throughout the game
Since Yasuo doesn't have a "strong" lane phase, play it safe and try to farm under tower and get good at doing that. Learn to last hit with your Q because I doubt you'll be able to farm from melee range without being harassed. Try to fight the enemy when your jungler is there or when you can all in them. Try to poke them down by E'ing through the minions and E-Q'ing your enemy and E'ing back to a creep escape. If you feel like you can all in them and try to get a lead.
Once you're ahead you can just continue to stomp, but remember to buy wards so you don't get shut down. Once you've won lane remember to roam and help out other lanes because you're mid and it should be easy.
If you aren't ahead try to get ganks from your jungler and play safe. Last hit with your Q from a distance. Don't get poked and all in when your jungler comes.
Mid game, try to get your IE and then help out your team a lot. Because with the IE and Shiv you'll have 90% crit if you're using the runes I suggested. So you'll deal a lot of AOE damage in team fights.
In Teamfights: Go for the carry. Be it the Mid Laner or the ADC go for one of them. Don't go too deep though or else you're dead. Remember you're squishy and people will want to focus you, so if you're in too deep the people will focus you and your team can't help you and you'll die. Try to get your ult off on them so you can TP to them with your ult and **** them up. Wind Wall the ADC or someone else with a lot of projectile damage so he can't harm your team and/or you.
Late game try to wait till the enemy uses their CC on your teammates so you don't get ****ed up and shut down. Go in with your ult because it is good CC and does a lot of damage.
Also late game is when the enemy team will probably have built armor to counter you. If you've build LW then post ult you get around 80% armor pen and you should be fine.
