Annie is well-known as your biggest counter. Try farming well in early-game.
Listen guys I know what you're thinking. Actually, I don't but nevermind. You're (maybe) thinking I'm another yasuo main in low-elo and with 10% winrate on him. Now listen, I am gold but not a main yasuo but I can teach anybody to be one. Don't trust me? Follow this guide. It will surprise you how effective it is.

Glacial Augment is the new revolutionary key rune on Yasuo. Applying an augmented effect of Frozen Mallet
on your first AA at level 1 will help in two ways: First, you can resist ganks a lot easier than when using precision runes, by just hitting your tornado or Q over the jungler/midlaner. Secondly, it will help on-lane when "poking". Midlane is a small lane so this slow will allow you to have more time to apply your damage and possibly not undertower them. It can also help when catching up on somebody. PS: Your tornado can apply this effect. |

Magical Footwear may shock some of you high-elo guys. Don't worry, I know it got nerfed and it is a dangerous item to take with a champ who has a hard-escaping ability. This rune will however allow you to focus on your core items which you will need to rush asap. Taking magical footwear also grants you an additionnal 10% MS which will make a difference in late-game. |

Future's Market is one rune you will never be able to leave after using it. Phantom Dancer and IE are quite expensive items to build in early even for a great farmer like Yasuo. Sometimes, you're just missing a couple gold to reach that IE that will make a huge difference in your 1v1. With this item, you can rush your items a lot quicker and therefore have more sustain and your damage earlier in the game.
You can also buy a pink after each back to be safe on-lane. |

Time Warp Tonic is the last rune you'll need with Yasuo. I mean, the other choices are Cosmic Insight and Approach Velocity which you would have no use of, so the choice is clear in this branch. But nevertheless, it will give you a lot more sustain when using potions on-lane in early-game phases and that is great to continue farming and rushing your items . |

Triumph is one great rune which will probably get nerfed soon so play it asap. You know with Yasuo you will need to go undertower or teamfight at some point, and that means taking risks to kill somebody. But what if those risks were rewarded by the fact you don't die after it? This rune will allow you to survive mad situations and continue fighting after that. |

Legend: Alacrity is really necessary on yasuo because of his Q passive. The cooldown and cast time of it will be reduced by the attack speed. You will need that to spam your Q and get your tornado asap in fights. It is also great having attack speed when hitting an enemy with a tornado, for casting an AA right before your enemy hits the ground and you can't ult them anymore. That additional AA will make a huge difference on the final damage and seperates a good yasuo from a bad yasuo. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ + What are the specs of this yasuo? + Why these runes and not classic precision runes? + Why Phantom dancer and not Statikk Shiv? + Why these items over overs? + Why you keep asking questions that's not how you do a table of content? I though we had already answered that in S7, but i saw a few Yasuos playing with Statikk Shiv so here are the main 5 reasons why we use Phantom Dancer more than any other critical strike item: ( Essence Reaver, Statikk Shiv, Rapid Firecannon or Runaan's Hurricane)
