I hate ahri players. Nasty people. If they know how to play their champ its such an annoying lane. They will almost always never waste charm and if you make a mistake they will run you down with ult. Normal laning phase, e q poke then attempt all in at 6. Take trades after she uses her q on the wave or pushes to far up. Use your e mobility on the wave for an advantage. When diving Ahri with your R, make sure theres a wave because shes gonna flash or R away.
Akali
W her e and q's . If you time it, you can q her out of her r. Yasuo is really strong with immortal. She can still kill you if your not careful, disgusting champion, as i main her 2nd ;P
Anivia
If shes good you're gonna get assaulted idk what they did to this champ
Annie
If you don't get a lead, you will be insta killed at level 6. She has the burst to 1 shot you with electrocute. If the Annie is bringing arcane comet, she's bad and you can abuse her like any ranged matchup. The thing with this matchup is that you can't windwall her stun. The ability is used but she still keeps her stun. That's why this matchup can be difficult without a lead.
Corki
Free lane, windwall his R if you want, Idk if you can windwall anything else cuz like who the hell plays corki.
unless its cowmow
Aurelion Sol
Honestly, I've fought like 3 aurelion sols and all I know is that its a free laning phase but when that big star comes you better move.
Azir
Azir is cancer because of his ranged soldiers that you can't block. He'll poke you if you aren't careful of where his soldiers are. He does more damage then you probably think. If he doesn't have his e (dash) then you can look for an all in while windwalling autos. I play draft quite a bit so like I don't fight good azirs. But goods ones should never let you get close.
Cassiopeia
Pretty good laning phase, make sure to look away every now in then when going all in to dodge her ult. Windwall autos and her empowered autos. Idek what it is. If she gets fed you can't 1v1. Whenever your all ining when you e try clicking away to maybe bait her R. Shes actually really strong if you let her stack conqueror.
Diana
You can win but DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HER DAMAGE EVER. She trades really well because of her w shield. Just try to windwall her q's but they can weird because it curves. If you do, then try to take a short trade before it comes back. She has a powerful r for 2v2 counter ganks. You only beat her 1v1 if she ints early. New items make her insanely strong. Going 1/0 against her doesn't matter. Try to make smart trades, windwalling her q, waiting for her w to go away.
Ekko
Annoying to deal with but a fairly easy matchup. You can windwall his q and dodge his w stun with your e. If he uses r just all in him next time he comes to lane. If he e's onto you try to all in.
Fizz
These nasty fizz players. Fizz is super annoying to play against because of his e. His e is a dash that makes him untargetable. His e can dodge your nado which can cost you the fight if your both low. You can windwall his r, which is the only thing you can windwall in fizz's kit. So I'd save windwall for that. You being able to windwall his R is basically the reason you can live long enough to kill him. He will save his E for your nado so try to eq or e q flash. DO NOT LET HIM GET FED. IF YOUR NOT CONFIDENT DONT RISK FIGHTING HIM. IF HES FED ALMOST GUARANTEED GG. NASTY CHAMP
Galio
Galio is annoying because of his cc and tankiness. Although you do pretty well into him. You can bait his taunt if you go close and taunt out of it. Windwall his q if you don't have passive. Be careful of jungler because 1 taunt and your dead.
Heimerdinger
Cancer champion but you can windwall basically anything he does. Dash to him windwall stun and then just kill him because of his squishiness.
Irelia
She is a very strong duelist with her non stop buffs. You can dash her stun and you can trade very well into her. If she q's to a minion near you auto q her. Try to windwall her r at 6. You can windwall her E. If you int your lane once its over this champ is so broken. (Also if your fighting Ghuchi on irelia dont worry lol.)
Jayce
Sigh. First time I played this matchup I went like 1/5 in lane. He does too much damage and windwalling his q isn't enough. His e slow and damage is insane. You only beat him 1v1 if he ints early.
Kassadin
Lmao freelo. Windwall his q if you want you don't even need to. Pre 6 if he walks to minions auto q and run him down. He can't kill you at any point in game unless he's lvl 16 and 10/0
Katarina
Not that hard of a laning phase, but because of these dumb items if she snowballs from a double kill from your bot laners wallah gg. You can prolly still 1v1 her but your windwall only chance your team lives. During laning phase you can windwall her ultimate and q. Her q is her poke early so try to windwall them if you see it coming at you. If she dashes to you nearby auto q. If she all in's hold your windwall for r. You can duel her as long as she isn't fed or ahead. Nah but this shit dumb now, shes buffed in this new preseason garbage and shes beyond broken and. When theres a dagger on the floor, run, ask for jungle ganks. You can beat her pretty easily as long as she doesnt have a lead from bot roam :|
Kennen
This squirrel is annoying af but pretty easy lane. As long as he isn't fed he doesn't have to damage to kill you unless you are half health level 6. Windwall his stun if you know what it is because I have 0 clue on what stuns you.
LeBlanc
Pretty hard matchup. Good lb will slap you. Save your windwall for her root, if she w's try to dash it and dash to her w when she goes back. Good way of telling if its her or her clone, if you ignited her before the ignited one is real.
Lee Sin
Ban, Dodge, Uninstall
Lissandra
Idrk what she does but just windwall her like backsplash autos like chogaths. And all in. Careful of her root when jungler close by.
Lucian
Can be easy as long as he doesn't get fed. If he's fed you well get ZAPPED. Windwall his q early or his passive. When going all in windwall his r.
Lux
I jitter click over the lock in button when I see lux mid. Free matchup lmao. You just counter her. Windwall q e her e then soreyegaton. Problem is good lux players don't push at all and sit under tower chucking e's. She can actually 1 shot you if you haven't killed her. New items do big dmg. Never get rooted :| You don't fucking understand how many times I've been 1 shot by getting root r'd by the enemy lux support. Imagine she had gold from mid :|
Malphite
Pre 6 may seem okay. At 6 He should have tabi seekers. Your gonna get kekked if you drop below half.
Malzahar
Pretty easy matchup. If you roam his insane wave clear will crash the wave super fast under your tower. Melee q his shield then abuse him. Buy qss if he is 0/0/0 or more.
Mordekaiser
Pretty hard to 1v1 him with his bs passive and shield and r. Lol. Buy qss thats your only chance in beating him.
Neeko
Nasty neeko players, but for yasuo its pretty easy, windwall her root, and e out of her ult, flashing her r may be mandatory if you are in the middle of it. Same with lb, her clone is the one not ignited after she clones. Season 11 Neeko kinda insane, make sure you windwall that root.
Orianna
She can be very annoying because of her movement speed good r and good teamfighting. Try to kill her in lane, windwall her autos. Try to dodge her orb when it comes at you with e.
Pantheon
Ban or dodge. Same as renekton, bring exhaust, when he jumps on you, and does half your health, if he doesnt have dirk or anything all in him when he shields e through him. Then back out.
Pyke
Not a threat in lane, he can't kill you. You can windwall his pull and e his stun.
Qiyana
You can windwall her q and ult. Careful when you near a wall without windwall. You beat her 1v1 with windwall.
Renekton
Ban or dodge. Okay but if you really want to play it out, go exhaust and D shield start. As for ganks, prolly only way to kill him unless hes bad.
Rumble
Does a lot of dmg. Don't fight him unless you poke him enough pre 6. Cancer to lane against. His flamethrower will burn you irl I swear you can feel it.
Ryze
Hes kinda annoying, he has point click cc, basically you can't windwall it. He does a lot of dmg, and he has good wave clear. At 6, make sure you ping him missing, his ult can change up a team fight fast. New ryze is dumb because they can start tear, he gets a lot of dmg because of the new items and mana he gets.
Sett
Kinda just out stats you. Hes pretty tanky and has damage. Don't pick yasuo into him, he beats you pretty hard. Only way you beat him is if you dodge his w entirely. Not just the true dmg, the whole thing. It does a lot to squishy champs just like yourself. If you think you can all in, make sure his w is down and you aren't near tower because he will flash r your ass. Try not to get stun e'd by him. That'll result in you losing half your health, (75% if he is faker and goes hob). Abuse your dashes, he can get kited really hard without his e up.
Sylas
Take short trades and poke him with e auto q's. Windwall his e chains (ones that knock you up) as it is a little stun aswell as can proc your ult if he takes it.) You can't beat him long fights early and maybe mid because of his w cd. I recently got back into playing sylas recently and hes hella good. He's really strong. His trades are insane with his w. He has damage, high burst, healing. His r is a really short cooldown now. 40 seconds basically lvl 11. Bully him pre 9, as that is his power spike with W maxed. Make sure you windwall his chains as thats his only way of killing you with your ult.
Syndra
Can be hard but can also be very easy, try to dodge her e with your e or try to predict it. Windwall her r at 6. Pre 6 windwall her w. She can be a pain if fed so be careful. I haven't fought syndra this season but she should be a even matchup. She can e your e so try to dodge it first before engaging.
Taliyah
She does a lot of dmg but you can windwall her q. Try to e out of her like rock floor thing and her knockup. Only taliyah 1 tricks go tali mid so make sure to dodge those skill shots. If she's missing from lane after 6 ping immediatley. Her r is a train.
Talon
Pretty okay laning phase, not that hard, windwall his w, then all in. He does a lot of damage even without his W proc, be careful. But good talons will save it for melee range to have it go through/behind windwall. He does a lot of dmg so be careful at 6. If you get hit by the double w then you might be dead. Give up lane pressure when your windwall is down. Talon has a lot of damage this season so be careful. (You can bring exhaust if you think you need it)
Twisted Fate
Free, windwall gold card when all inning.
Veigar
Free lane, wait till cage to go down, let him push, if you time it you can dash through his cage before it fully arises. You can windwall his q and ult. Don't let him scale and free farm. Midget ap nasus but not a dog, he does insane damage if he's fed. His w is a bomb from the gods of above. Don't EVER get stunned in his cage.
Vel'Koz
Can be tricky because of his range and passiveness. Dodge his e with your dash, windwall his q if you cant dodge it. You can also windwall his w. You can't windwall his ult so don't let him stack it. He actually does a lot of damage, so don't let him fully stack his passive on you.
Viktor
Pretty easy in my opinion but he can play super passive and be a problem. He outscales you and does so much late game. You can windwall his e and q. When he w's you, try to dash out of it before you get stunned. Dog late game, make sure you R him in teamfights.
Vladimir
Pretty easy, can't kill you early, buy executioners if you really want it for laning phase. You can only windwall vlads e. So when you see the bar under him red, just back off as it does a lot and gives him a lot of health. New vlad is quite the problem as he has so much more damage. I moved him up a level because he's pretty good this season.
Xerath
Similar to lux, windwall his stun and dodge his skill shots by sidesteps or dashing.
Yasuo
Blind pick was a mistake...
Save windwall for his nado, he might do the same so try to get a e q or a nice e q flash to catch him lacking.
Yone
Bully him early, You can windwall his 3rd q's edge when he dashes at you. At 6, try to dodge his r with e or flash. Because yasuo is fair he has a shield so it makes trading with him kekw, if he pushes up, dont be afraid to tank a q, because your not tanking it, your shield is. Always trade q for q if he comes close to you.
Zed
Can be beaten but good zeds will get your passive with q poke and look for a electrocute proc. We will try to all in you at 6 if you are under half. Bully him early, abuse your melee power. When he r's you windwall where he and his shadow is facing. Season 11 zed is actual kekw. Doesn't matter if your ahead. If you are 3/4 Hp and hes 6 with ignite and dirk. bye byeeee. Only way you can possible live is not get hit by a single shuriken, yet again you arent faker.
Ziggs
Free, don't let him scale tho. You can windwall everything. Dash his w if windwall is dash, same for q.
Zilean
His bombs can do a lot of dmg if he gets a double bomb. Do not let him stack 2 on you. All in him by windwalling q's when dashing him. If he's far from tower, try to pay attention to if he has r on him when your about to kill him and wait for it to go.
Zoe
Pretty free, windwall her drowsy and your fine. Try to dodge her q poke early.
Singed
Probably whazh after losing a ranked game, stay safe.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1234538964712706049 - Watch
Yuumi
Yo idk what that person did but he beat whazh.
Seraphine
I don't know what she does but like you can windwall her R.
Master Yi
Probably me, but like he actually duels you decently with his true dmg and attack speed. Make sure you hit the nado ;)
Wukong
Yo this shit actually dumb asf. He actually 1 shots you. You push up then he e auto w q r. BYE BYE BUDDY BYE BYE - CHIMPNA
Rammus
If this mf is mid then actually leave.
Maokai
Best duelist world - Me and Whazh.
He can w your nado and interupt your e with it. Hes pretty strong but in teamfights save your W for his R engage.
Tristana
Shes kinda cancer ngl, has a hop a bomb that does 300 dmg lvl 1. Sadge Just try to windwall her e when she throws it at you. You can windwall her R if you predict. But if your not careful she really can 1 shot you.
Garen
Kinda like sett, he just out stats you. Tankier, more damage, good trading and a fucking silence that screams skill when he q's you. Try to take short trades to poke him down. Like e q'ing and stuff like that. Never all in because what can u even do. You q, q, q, r ignite, you get him to 3/4 HP but then u realize he's spinning on you and dealing more damage then your entire combo with 1 fucking ability and he clicks R. All in him if hes low but never all in when your equal health.
Karthus
You cant actually windwall anything but he can't land a q on you for shit cuz you have a 0.1 second dashhhhhhh.
Gragas
You can windwall his r and q, but like his e and w actually do a lot of damage. Careful of where he places his barrel cuz hes gonna combo your ass. Dont underestimate gragas. hes actually really strong. (If its Ghuchi on gragas get jung to camp or ff)
Cho'Gath
Don't let him land his knockup, it does a lot of damage early, and he will run you down if you get hit, Dont worry you have your dashes. Try to dodge his silence with your e. Take short trades. Try to fake all in and bait out his like autos with spikes idek tf they are but they do damage. CHO GOD IF ITS BALORI DODGE
Kayn
Kayn mid's actually pretty strong, (ik from personal experience) he does way more damage then you think. Dodge his w, and try to side step his q's. You can trade with him preform very well. Rhaast, go mortal reminder, sonic kayn, you can go stopwatch if he's really fed.
Kayle
You trade pretty well with her early, abuse her super hard pre 6. At 6 she gets range but try to windwall her slow. She isnt that hard but don't let her scale.
Swain
Hes pretty good in laning phase, side step his e and windwall his q. Never get hit by his e or you will get shit on. His r is pretty strong so make sure you fight him with ignite or mortal.
Tryndamere
Fuck this shit actually. You basically get assaulted super badly. Defo go bone plating into this matchup. You can try fighting him pre 6.
- Very mobile champion - Great teamfighter, especially with ult. - Low cd on all abilities. - Very snowbally. - Very fun to play - Great champion when mastered. - Can 2v1 laner and jungler a lot of the times.
Cons - Squishy - Vulnerable to cc. - 50 percent ban rate in iron - gold. - First picking him can be a high risk. - High skill cap, hard to master.
Who is Yasuo?
Yasuo is a fighter champion, and sort of a melee adc in a sense. His main damage is from critical strikes, because of his passive and his q (steel tempest). He can snowball pretty hard because of his damage. He is a high mobile champion and very fun to play. He's kinda bs because of his low cooldowns and his windwall, but that's what makes him fun.
