Unwinnable, ban him every game or get your jungler to camp Mid. Just survive lane phase and out scale him hard. Fleet+Resolve.
Renekton
Sometimes seen Mid to counter you, play it the same way as Pantheon. Dodge this if you know it's him. Fleet+Resolve.
Wukong
Same thing, is played Mid sometimes. Very hard matchup, dodge the game if he's the one you're laning against.
Fleet+Resolve.
Sett
Is seen Mid sometimes, just dodge or get JG to camp him for you. Same as every top lane bruiser flexed Mid.
Garen
Personally one of my most hated matchups. Harass him with Q level 1, don't fight after 3 unless his Q and E are both on cooldown. Just shove and roam after 6. Conqueror+Domination
Fizz
Heavily Fizz favored after level 6. Get Q level 1 and harass him at every chance you get before level 3. Dodge his E, dont let him proc empowered auto (W). Conqueror+Resolve. Block his R with your W, take Exhaust when you're not confident.
Akali
Skill matchup favored for Akali after 6. Wind wall her E and don't fight when she has W up. Don't let her proc passive on you ever. Fleet/Conqueror+Domination.
Lissandra
Cleanse. Favors her very hard if her jungler can camp Mid for her. Watch out for ganks and don't die, try to roam if you can't kill her. Conqueror+Resolve.
Lucian
Try not to get harassed too much, just try to punish every mistake, freeze wave at your tower. Fleet/Resolve.
Anivia
Anivia's a little OP right now but not extremely hard especially before level 6. try to wind wall her Q and all in, get her passive down and next time she makes any big mistake kill her. And get perma prio before 6 by shoving her in. Conqueror+Resolve.
LeBlanc
Skill matchup, wind wall her E, bait her W and all in when she overextends. Fleet+Domination.
Annie
Exhaust or Cleanse. Try to make so she can't stun you or bait it out before you try to all in her. After 6 don't fight just roam. Conq+Resolve
Swain
Yasuo favored before level 6 and late game when you get Shieldbow+Mortal Reminder. Swain favored in between those times. Rush executioners. Try to wind wall his E and dodge his Q and W to kill him. After 6 roam. Conq+Domination
Viego
He's a little busted right now but you can block his only CC (his W) and you easily win auto Q battles because your Q is on a shorter cooldown and that you have a shield. But don't fight when he has E up and take short trades where he can't proc his Q passive to heal up.
Rush Executioners. Conq.
Orianna
Start E if she starts Q to play aggressive from level 1 and trade. Get her to use E before fighting and she's very squishy. Fleet+Domination
Neeko
Yasuo favored skill matchup. Wind wall her E and try to E onto her during trades so that if she uses her W you can know which one is the real one. Take cleanse and Conq+Domination.
Vladimir
Rush executioners calling always. Don't let him hit a single Q when he has red bar and wind wall his E. If he ever misuses W all in him and kill him. You should always win early and try to end before he scales. Conq.
Diana
Yasuo favored skill matchup. Try to wind wall or dodge her Q, and engage on her. Remember that you can also W her W, and dash out of her R. Conq.
Ekko
You win extended trades, he wins short ones. Try to stick onto him after he uses E offensively, and trade when he misses Q. Do care about his W and try to back off when you hear its cast sound. Conq.
Talon
Skill matchup. Try to poke him with Q level 1 when he misses his W on you. Out roams you by a lot, try to get level 3 first and let him push so you can all in him after blocking his W.
Malzahar
Rush QSS and put 2 points in Q level 3. Don't get harassed to much, try to clear his voidings with your Q and don't stand near low HP minions. Conq.
Irelia
Don't trade when she has 5 stacks of passive or near it and you're fine. You can block her E and R. Conq.
Vel'Koz
He out damages everyone in the game early on. Try to dodge his spells and W his E, stand at the side of your minions to dodge his E so he can't proc his passive which HURTS. This matchup does favor you though. Conq/Fleet are both viable.
Qiyana
Right now she's a little busted but it's not too hard of a matchup. you can W her Q, but you want to save it for the blue one which will root you. You can also block her R. Take Conq, harass her as much as possible with Q and take extended trades.
Tristana
Don't take harass before level 3 and wind wall her E when she attaches it to you. After 6 block her R when you engage, interrupt her W with your Q3. Fleet.
Morgana
Cleanse. Try to block her Q and engage her, you can't really ult her because of her spell shield so roam after 6. YOU CANT BLOCK HER ULT WITH YOUR W. Conq.
Azir
Don't get poked down before level 6, and don't even try tower diving him because he can escape easily. Do watch out about ganks and take 2 points in Q level 3. After 6 just roam. Conq
Yone
I advise not picking Yasuo into your brother because it's a coinflip skill matchup. If you don't want to gamble your games, just dodge.
W his Q3 when he uses E to trade and kite him out. Dodge his R with your E. Favors Yone slightly after 6 and significantly after lane phase ends. Conq and Fleet are both viable.
Galio
You should really win this matchup as Galio isn't really good against AD. Dodge his E with yours and W his Q. Out roams you. Be extremely careful about ganks. Conq.
Veigar
You're fine as long as you don't get stunned by his E. Watch out for ganks and trade with him as much as possible. After 6 block his R and roam if you can't get kills.
Viktor
Dodge his W with your E and wind wall his E. Don't trade when he has Q up and after 6 just roam. Fleet.
Ahri
Don't get poked down before level 6 and W her E (Charm) when you engage her. Roam after 6 and watch out for ganks. Conq.
Kassadin
Easy but not so much when he maxes E because you'll spam your spells and his E which you can't block will be permanently up. W his Q and try to kill him as much as possible and end before he hits level 16. Conq.
Katarina
Yasuo favored matchup. Before 6 harass with Q every time she walks up for CS and W her Q when you trade. Deny her resets as much as possible and after 6 only fight when you have Q3 up. Conq.
Syndra
As in any mage matchup try not to get poked down. If she starts Q, you start E to trade and if she goes W level 1 start Q. Before 6 you can block her E when you engage but after 6 try to save it for her R. Fleet.
Heimerdinger
Let him push level 1 and always stand behind minions so he can't hit W. Take down his turrets with your Q before engaging, you can also use them to dash. W his E or his empowered E. Conq.
Xerath
Dodge his Qs with your E and wind wall his stun. Roam after 6 if you can't kill him. Fleet.
Aurelion Sol
Just permanently jump on him and try to block his Q. Kill him again and again so he can't roam. Conq.
Sylas
Rush executioners try to wind wall his E2 and dodge his Q. After 6 save W for his ult. Conq.
Lux
Easy but annoying lane. W her Q and just all in. After 6 roam. Fleet/Conq are both good.
Twisted Fate
Easiest matchup. Just wind wall his gold card and all in him. Out roams you. Conq.
Ziggs
Very annoying but really easy lane. W his W when you engage and dodge his Qs. Fleet.
Corki
He's useless early game. Wind wall his E and just fight him as much as possible. Conq.
