Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page
Ahri can be cancer to fight. Once she hits 6 it's super hard to kill her because she will just flash 3 times away with her R. If you play correctly and wind wall charm while engaging you should be fine. Avoid tower diving if she has ult up.
Akali
Akali is pretty weak pre 6, bully the f*ck out of her and try to kill her before she gets ult. Once she does, she can do stupid burst, wind wall her Q when trading as it will make her do alot less damage.
Alistar
Not that you're going to be fighting many Alistar mid/tops, but if you do. He's absolute cancer. He can disengage you easily and theres nothing for you to dodge or wind wall as his W Q combo is lock on. (One of my least favorite champions to have on enemy team as yasuo)
Amumu
Watch out for Amumu jungle, he can get pretty tanky, if he enters lane try to wind wall his Q and just back off.
Anivia
Anivia is pretty damn easy to beat. Wind wall her Q and rape her. Keep her Eggnivia passive in mind though, can't count how many times I've killed an Anivia only to realize I have to do it again.
Annie
****. Annie. Absolute. Cancer.
Wait for her to use her stun before trading, you can't block her stun if it's used on tibbers or her aoe flame (W), but you can wind wall her Q. Once she's 6 back the f*ck up. She can place that bear on you, and it's most likely over.
Ashe
ez
Aurelion Sol
ez, try to not get stuck in his W though, and watch out when tower diving as he can ult you into it
Azir
He's very hard to beat. IF HE'S GOOD. If the Azir isn't good however, this can be pretty easy. Wait for him to use his Q then E to him and trade, watch out when fighting him near his tower post 6 because he can simply ult you into tower.
Bard
A good Bard = God.
Blitzcrank
Blitz is only annoying because of his E, and if you can't avoid it. His Q is cancer too.
Brand
Pretty ez, just block his Q (stun) and trade. You should be fine, dodging his W is pretty easy as well.
Braum
His passive is annoying af. You can wind wall his ult for whatever reason though.
Caitlyn
Don't get caught in her traps because she has very high dps and might kill you if you do so, if you land a q knockup on her you can easily one shot her.
Cassiopeia
I mean, she can take away the one thing that Yasuo is. His E button. Besides that she's lowkey ez as long as you don't get ulted, so try to predict it and face away.
Cho'Gath
Cho'Gath can be a very annoying opponent to fight, try to shut him down pre 6 so he can't surprise you with that 500 true damage.
Corki
Corki is a very easy adc to deal with, all his forms of damage can be wind walled excluding his package and w.
Darius
One of the harder matchups for top lane, try to make quick trades and PLEASE avoid fighting lvl 1. If he gets 5 stacks of hemmorage you're most likely dead, in this matchup I like to bring warlords bloodlust, max Q, and bring double edge sword over battle trance.
Diana
Uh, you can wind wall her Q. But if you don't she can burst you pretty fast. Be cautious post 6.
Dr. Mundo
Mundo is really annoying because his passive health regen and percentage damage on his Q, try to kill him pre 6 as he is very hard to kill in ult. Possibly bring ignite top if you feel like you're going to struggle.
Draven
You hard counter Draven, he can't even attack you because he'll be forced to drop axes if your wind wall is up.
Ekko
Ekko is hard to kill post 6, play aggro early and try to kill him, watch out for his W and ult passive, because it can now stun you (added in the assassin rework)
Elise
Getting camped by Elise sucks, but if you wind wall her cocoon and run you're fine. If you can't wind wall her cocoon and she does hit you. FeelsBadMan
Evelynn
Just Acknowledge her existence, control wards can reveal her, since her invisibility is camouflage and not actual invisibility.
Ezreal
Ezreal is a god at kiting, watch out for his E as it's practically a free flash on like a 5 second cd, He can dodge your E Q with his E.
Fiddlesticks
Fiddlesticks is a rare jungler to see, but his terrify and silence is enough cc to shut you down, maybe consider buying a qss after bloodthirster if he seems to be a problem
Fiora
Fiora shines in early duels, watch out for her parry as she can stun you if you try to knock her up during it, try to bait it by Eing to her with your Q up, waiting for the parry, then launching your whirlwind. If she goes in for trades always try to trade back with q and an auto at least.
Fizz
If this boy hits the fish. Then you're dead. If he doesn't hit the fish. Then you good. You can wind wall his Ultimate, but it won't get rid of it, just prevent it from passing the wall.
Galio
No one picks Galio. But if he is picked. Then watch out for his ult, as that's the only move he has that matters, it can easily lose you the game if he lands his ult on multiple of your teammates.
Gangplank
GP is a weird match up, he can't out trade you for the most part, try to take out his barrels as they hit 1 health also wind wall his Q whilst trading as it will most likely make him lose the trade, he can escape your ult with his W so keep that in mind when doing something stupid like tower diving gp.
Garen
Can be hard matchup at top especially if you're the Villain, watch out for his ult and his Q silence can mess up your E button. In this matchup I max Q as it's better vs melee and good in longer trades.
Gnar
Gnar is a very strong champion, you can wind wall his Q to deny him of it for a while, after that you can E up to him to go in for a trade, once his rage bar is almost full you should try your hardest to back off as it gives him higher resistances and if he gets stun off from ult can most likely result in your death.
Gragas
Gragas is very annoying for one general reason, Yasuo's Q is cancelled during cc, that and gragas can easily disposition you with his E stun, q slow, and ult knock back.
Graves
Try your best to maneuver around your wind wall whilst trades with graves, his damage becomes greater the closer he is to you, if he gets to kite you, you can easily die.
Hecarim
Getting Camped by Hecarim is possibly one of the worst feelings in the game, ward deeper than usual to try to prevent his speedy ganks.
Heimerdinger
Trash, wind wall his Turrets and take them out.
Illaoi
Don't let your soul get grabbed, also be aware that she can practically 1v2 you and your jungler with her stupid sustain and burst. Use E to dodge tentacles.
Irelia
Irelia can be very hard to beat. This is because of her stupid damage along with her tankiness, she has built in lifesteal and can easily win trades if you're on higher health by stunning you. Ask for a gank
Ivern
I can't see a time in which Ivern can 1v1 Yasuo, but he's pretty annoying with the shield he gives his allies, if he's caught alone there's not much he can do a
Janna
Her peel is very strong she can easily disengage you off of her adc and keep them alive whilst powering them and **** blocking you with her Q and slow.
Jarvan IV
Fighting him in lane is alot easier than getting camped by one, his ult can be E'd through but his burst is usually enough to kill you, ward and watch out
Jax
Weak early game, very strong late, harass him pre 6 and dodge his E stun with your E if possible.
Jayce
Block his Empowered Q, and you should be fine.
Jhin
ez, also keep in mind that you can easily W his ult.
Jinx
If you get caught in her E and can't windwall her, then her stupid dps and life steal may be enough to kill you, watch out when low for her ult, which you can windwall. Otherwise, ez.
Kalista
Can't remember the last Kalista i've seen.
Karma
Only annoying thing about Karma is her Chain, as it has very long range and is almost a guaranteed root.
Karthus
Dodge his Q with E and watch out for his ult at all times as it's practically his only helpful move.
Kassadin
Pretty ez, block his Q and watch out for his escape potential with his R
Katarina
Pretty ez, block her Q if needed along with her ult which you can cancel with knockup, she's especially ez to fight in laning phase, but be cautious of her during team fights because she can be pretty chaotic.
Kayle
Can't windwall her empowered ranged basics, and her ult can easily **** block you from killing her and give her a window of time to kill you, watch out for this.
Kennen
Watchout for his ult stun, especially in team fights.
Kha'Zix
Don't get isolated, and try to fight him, as he can probably 1v1 you and his damage is insane.
Kindred
ez, watch for ult **** block and kiting
Kled
He can do alot of damage if ahead, but just harass him early and watch out for his skaarl health bar.
Kog'Maw
As long as you can get to him, ez.
LeBlanc
Can be pretty confusing to fight, but if you play correctly, ez.
Lee Sin
Lee Sin is a champ that I tend to ban almost every game, this is because his Ultimate, it can completely destroy you by positioning you into the middle of the entire enemy team, this and Lee already does crazy damage as it is.
Leona
Her stupid amount of CC is very annoying.
Lissandra
Watch out for Her ult as it opens a window for her to kill you and for you to get ganked.
Lucian
Easy, watch out for he can dodge your E Q with his dash.
Lulu
Polymorph is cancer, her ult is cancer, her slows are cancer.
Lux
Pretty easy matchup, not much she can do to counterplay you especially with your wind wall.
Malphite
Rock Solid match up, he can be pretty easy to beat pre 6, but post 6 he starts to get tanky and his ult can win him fight vs you.
Malzahar
Aids. Watch out for his ult, possibly buy very early qss.
Maokai
Lock on Snare and team damage reduction, watch out bud.
Master Yi
If Yi get's ahead then it can be almost impossible to win 1v1 vs him, if you can manage to land a knock up and ult him you can probably win the 1v1
Miss Fortune
You can completely Wind wall her ult, a really easy adc to fight
Mordekaiser
K
Morgana
Windwall her Q, because if you don't you may be reported for afk. Watch out for her ult.
Nami
You can wind wall her ult, but if caught in bubble you can easily die.
Nasus
Don't let this f*cker farm.
Nautilus
Don't get hooked and run back if ulted.
Nidalee
You can wind wall her Q, but if she manages to hit it she can burst you very hard, I'm personally afraid of good Nidalee's.
Nocturne
If He ults you chances are you're dead.
Nunu & Willump
Busted.
Olaf
Hard counter to Yasuo top post 6 along with his stupid tankiness, sustain, attack speed, harass, and true damage.
Orianna
Pretty easy to beat, if she ults you it can do alot of damage however.
Pantheon
Can be very hard to beat, as he can stun you with a lock on W and harass you constantly with Q, along with his E that you can't wind wall.
Poppy
Poppy is one of the tankiest tanks. Don't get popped by the Poppy.
Quinn
Her dispostioning with her knock back is annoying, you can wind wall her empowered auto then trade.
Rammus
Ok.
Rek'Sai
Not to hard to avoid, but ganks can be very strong.
Renekton
Don't get croc blocked. He's stronger than you Early, keep that in mind and don't go all in on him unless the trade is free. He has sustain and a stun. But he falls off after you get you're phantom + cloak for 100% crit chance.
Rengar
Can one shot you if he's fed, don't get eaten.
Riven
If she's a Riven main, then it's cancer. If she's not, then it's not as cancer.
Rumble
Pretty ez, PLEASE don't stand in equalizer
Ryze
Ez, stay behind minions to avoid Q damage, and watch out for lock on snare.
Sejuani
She's tanky and VERY sticky, but you can block her ult.
Shaco
Getting camped by Shaco feels bad man, if you E him before he uses R then you can still see the circle around the real Shaco.
Shen
If taunted then it's a problem, that and his W which can block your Q and Basic.
Shyvana
Shyvana is pretty stong with her % max hp damage, watch out for her lvl 6 ganks, you can 1v1 her if you're not behind.
Singed
Singed is a meme. Ignore him the best you can.
Sion
Dodge his Q with E, bring battle trance in ferocity tree as you can easily have extended trades with him, max Q for more damage in extended trades vs melee champs.
Sivir
ez
Skarner
Get qss right after Vampiric Scepter part of bt for his ult.
Sona
ez, you can wind wall her ult.
Soraka
Kill this b*tch.
Swain
?
Syndra
Her disengage with E is annoying and if you don't wind wall her ult it can kill you. Watch out.
Tahm Kench
If Tahm eats you, then you're most likely dead, stay away from this catfish.
Taliyah
Don't dash through her minefield and you should be okay.
Talon
His lvl 6 burst while you're flow passive is down can hurt alot. Also watch out for his crit on Q added in the assassin rework. Hard to gank because of his E.
Taric
His ult is cancer.
Teemo
ez, shrooms are annoying but you can get control ward/sweeper, oracles. Wind wall his blind ( it looks different from normal basics)
Thresh
Unless you get Q'd by this hooker, then ez.
Tristana
Her resets are cancer, ez though
Trundle
Watch out bud, he is super strong especially post 6, ask for a gank to kill this troll.
Tryndamere
Just keep his ult in mind, you can knock him up and ult him to waste most his ult's duration.
Twisted Fate
One of the easiest match ups. Wind wall his gold card and kill him.
Twitch
Kill this adc as fast as possible in team fights, before his damage kills your entire team. W his basics.
Udyr
Udyr is in a weird place right now, if you ward it's pretty ez to not get ganked by him.
Urgot
urGOD
Varus
He has alot of range and poke but you can W his ult and ride the minion wave to him.
Vayne
Literally the most annoying adc in the game. Her "outplay" potential and invisibility is really annoying. Try to stay away from walls and dance around your windwall in 1v1 situations.
Veigar
Don't get stuck in his E and W his R, ez.
Vel'Koz
ez, but his ult does ALOT of damage.
Vi
0 Counterplay to her ult, you will likely die if she presses R on you, I usually ban Vi or Lee sin most games as they are really annoying vs Yasuo.
Viktor
Pretty ez
Vladimir
His W is a good escape, but you should be fine if you W his E
Volibear
Annoying *** bear, his passive is something you should always keep in mind, and his chomp (W) does so much damage.
Warwick
Get qss, pretty bad champ overall
Wukong
This monkey can be very strong, watch out. And ask for a gank if struggling
Xerath
Block his E and ride the wave to him.
Xin Zhao
The Seneschal of Cancer. He's really annoying with his crits, heals, and instant gap closer along with knock ups, please ward and try to avoid getting ganked by this boy.
Yasuo
I don't play Blind Pick, but if you do, this mirror is extremely annoying, especially if he gets a camp.
Yorick
ez, unless he has 4 ghouls with maiden up.
Zac
Really annoying jungler if he lands E. and His R can put you places you don't want to be.
Zed
Can be a really hard matchup, if the Zed is experienced then he can harass you constantly and outplay you with shadows. If he isn't the best, wind wall Q's and once he ults you E away until it's over.
Ziggs
He can keep distance pretty easily but if you get to him then gg.
Zilean
Uh his ult is annoying and his 99% speed up is crazy.
Zyra
Really annoying support, but if mid she's pretty ez to beat as long as you wind wall most the damage from her plants, which you can also E on.
Hello my name is Rainn. I've only been playing for a little more than a year but I managed to get diamond and 800k on Yasuo within my first season of ranked. I think that Yasuo is a high risk high reward champion that if played correctly can heavily impact the direction of the game.
Runes
Runes
I bring attack speed runes instead of attack damage runes because they give me max cd on my q as early as possible along with purchasing berserkers greaves. Yasuo doesn't have per level scaling mr so I bring flat mr blues and scaling health will help as game progresses. Having higher attack speed at lower levels is helpful too.
Masteries
Masteries
I usually and almost all the time take Fervor of Battle, I think it's a really nice mastery for chaining combos with your basics and Q. Your steel tempest makes Fervor stack pretty nicely. Warlords can be brought if you are fighting a heavy poke laner and you will need to get health back some what quickly to maintain in lane.
Items
Items
: I like Phantom dancer in the majority of matches, it's a really nice item for laning phase and it makes dueling just about anyone a whole lot easier.
: Stattik Shiv is a good item when going for an assassin approach more than a duelist/semi-fighter. Stattik makes you do alot more damage especially when bought along with an item light trinity force. Buy stattik when the enemy team doesn't have many tanks and they have alot of squishy targets that you can quickly eliminate.
: Infinity edge has always been core on Yasuo and I feel that it always will. You're passive may double critical strike chance meaning you only need two items for 100% crit chance, but it also takes away a little crit damage, Infinity edge makes up for the crit damage while adding a little bit more. It also provides a great amount of ad.
: I like bringing berserker greaves most the time because it allows you to get max cd on your q along with highly increasing your damage output, other boots like merc treads and ninja tabi are a more defensive approach, go merc against high cc or ap comps, and ninja tabi if you're struggling vs right click oriented champs.
: Bloodthirster is a really good item as it will highly increase your survivability and it will also provide a shield and a decent amount of ad.
: Guardian Angel is a great item for late game as it will allow you to have a second chance, the item alone will help you become more tanky because it gives a good amount of armor and mr
: Mercurial is my last item usually because it provides lifesteal and the active will help you get out of hard cc.
