First thing I want to mention is combos while they arent key to playing yasuo they completely elevate your gameplay.

Airblade- E-Q-R
The airblade is a way to get a little more damage out of your ult as the E-Q combo can hit as you press R. To perform simple stack Q and throw from a distance then when your Qs cool down hits 0.5 your E resets the Q. E-Q a minion or enemy champion then as you press Q press R. The damage will transfer and after you just Q and stack tornado again.

Beyblade- E-Q-Flash
The Beyblade is a way of ulting an enemy champion who plays away when you have q stacked. To perform you E-Q on your stacked Q to an enemy minion or other champion then flash on to the unsuspecting enemy champion you want ult. obviously can inky be done with flash off cooldown.

Keyblade- E-Q-Flash-E-Q-R
The keyblade comines you Beyblade and Airblade to maximize your damage on a target. To perfom you will stack Q. Then E-Q on to minion or champion then flash to enemy you want to ult. This will knock up the intended target. Whike airborn you have a few second to then E-Q to another tragt minion or the knocked up enemy before pressing R this will mean you applied the first Q damage along with the second Q damage and pissible E damage depending on if you E through the knockedup opponent. then presisng R maximizes your damage and when you finish ulting you oress Q to instanly stack your Q for anther knockup.



Now alot of the time the enemy can play scared and stay under the tower. The best thing to do here is set up a slow push and crash a big wave to slow enemy rotations to objectives or team fights. You can also use this for a free back or to roam to your team lanes to help.


Best thing is to know your matchups i will update matchups as i play them and show what i struggled with in the matchups.


Lastly Yas is all about confidence if you know you are the better player you will play better, but dont be stupid and int in places you shouldnt be. Mostly just have fun and take your time and learn him






This is a screenshot of a video explaining the diffuclty of certain matchups for yas in the midlane.

To win consistently in lane ypu need to play at the champions max range and bait out abilities to dash in for a trade. You also need to punish thier cs if they walk up poke with q if the cs with an ability dash in a punish them.

As a melee champion of facing a ranged champion it is best let them push the wave and make them over extend then bait out abikities and punish with a trade.

Synergies with yas are any champion with knockups obviously but even knock back like draven or hook champs like pike you can even ult off of.
