Easy matchup as her q won't even damage you if you have your passive up, and if she goes in for a combo, make sure you punish her hard because you out damage her. Ensure you windwall her q if you don't have your passive up. If she ultimates you, e through her, and activate windwall.
Kassadin
simple matchup, you out shove, and out damage him, his q will just about pop your shield, you can also wind wall his q.
Lux
simple matchup, windwall her q, use your e to dodge her e, or just avoid it. You can easily outfarm and zone her away from creeps, you also out damage her, and the only real way for her to win is either, you missplay, or you get camped.
Orianna
similar to lux except she has a strong team fight, and she can simply stay safe until you get ganked. Just farm, unless she plays aggressive.
Pantheon
Skilled matchup, start cloth 4 and out sustain his mana pool and it's easy, if you make mistakes it can be difficult but your aim is simply to keep your flow up, and out sustain his mana pool.
Riven
Skill based matchup but a skilled Yasuo will have the edge, max q to maximise dps.
Ahri
You can windwall every one of her abilities however this is mostly a skill orientated match up, if confident, rush statikk, if you feel like you want to play safe, rush hexdrinker. She can also aa you to break your shield.
Kayle
Bit difficult but still she lacks high range, so you can farm quite safely as she is forced to push the wave, and her e is predictable, so if she just used it, you can just wait it out.
Darius
You can easily stop his q heal by dashing into him, and will win all short trades thanks to your shield, but be careful as once he hits 6, he will kill you.
Zed
This matchup is a bit iffy in the fact you can outplay him, and out trade him early due to your shield, but he can kill you once he gets 6. Try to obtain a lane advantage pre-6, and make sure you dodge/windwall his q. He does a lot of damage if he lands a full combo, but if he misses it, he cannot fight back. Exhaust helps.
Annie
A skilled annie player is difficult due to how she will position herself, try to shove her in tower and force her to miss cs as the only way you'll kill her is if she makes a huge missplay, at 6 she can one shot you so ensure you have a hexdrinker as usual.
Talon
Pre-6 (as usual) he can be bullied, but once he hits 6, and has at least an armor pen item, he will be looking to poke you down with his rake, and once your at least 70% hp, he will all in you and kill you. Exhaust is helpful.
Akali
pre-6 she's easy, post 6 she's difficult because of her stealth and ability to wait for her cooldowns, don';t underestimate her damage, and poke her down with q, never go for an all in as her thunderlord, and q proc will do huge damage.
Azir
Annoying champion to deal with, only real way of winning is A. He's not skilled with the champ. B.Farm safely and give up farm to harass C. Get jungle ganks
Renekton
difficult, just play safe and farm. Cloth 5 + pots can cheese him as you'll be able to out trade him and do a lot of damage back. If he jumps on you, e away, if he does a full combo, don't let him get away and fight him due to his cooldowns being down.
Malzahar
High threat due to his silence, suppression, and generally annoying kit with his passive. If you get flash ulti'd by this guy, you're most likely getting ganked so the only option is to either rush a qss which will offer magic resist and will mean you'll never die to his ultimate, or rush a hexdrinker for a shot at "winning lane" Generally playing passive is enough. Items to rush - Qss, hexdrinker, life steal, phantom dancer, frozen mallet. Mallet is so he can't kite you. Start Doran's blade and aim to get a early refillable as you'll be popping potions a lot. Life steal is helpful but generally farm, you will out scale him and will easily 1v1 him later in the game.
Fizz
He wins all short and long trades, so the only way to win this is not to die, and try to outplay him by using your dash to dodge his e, and q, but that's easier said than done. RUSH HEXDRINKER because once he hits 6, if he lands a fish on you, you're dead. You can windwall it but the animation is a bit tricky to see. exhaust is almost a must.
Irelia
Dangerous matchup due to how she can 100-0 you everytime you get into lane once she hits 6 as she has a targeted stun. Mostly just farm, and try to poke her down so she will be less likely to go for an all in. Rush survivability such as doran shield, and steraks and tabis. Try to keep your hp up. The problem with this match up is even if you're winning, she will simply wait for her jungler, so keep the bush pinked and keep applying pressure if you built a strong lead. Exhaust helps. A good rune to go is fleetfootwork.
