    What Is Yasuo's Playstyle Like?

    I'm unsure if Yas is worth buying and learning, and just wanted to know what his playstyle is. Like, when are his bes points in the game, what is he good at, is he squishy, and what type of player would enjoy Yasuo the most, things like that. Thanks! :D

    Yasuo is strongest at around levels 3-6 in laning phase as his poke against other melee assassins which are currently very common is pretty strong. I would say you want to try and use your Q to zone people during laning phase and constantly move to get your passive shield up so that you can go in for engages and win. If you do this and there are no other factors affecting you this can lead to a nice snowball.

    Listen this. Above answer weren´t wrong but you have asked about PLAYSTILE. With Yasuo you must think as a Fizz, always agressive. You must put your enemy in doubt about if you´re going to jump on your opponent or if you´re going to block his following attack. You must be spamming Steel tempest and moving between minions with your movility abilities. Unpredictable

    He is (partially) right though, if you want to play yasuo you want to be playing aggressively, especially in the early levels and pushing is therefore inherent to his playstyle. That is also the reason he's somewhat falling out of favour.

    Cool story bro, don't worry about pushing the wave with a champ that escapes poorly.

    As a Yasuo main I can say that if you screw up, you're punished pretty hard for it, but if you don't, he can do some amazing stuff. One E could literally mean the difference between a kill and a death. His best points are his insane damage that he gets really quickly, his worst is probably his early game which is still packed with potential but requires really precise mechanics and quick reactions. He can be built glass cannon-squishy, but it's not very worth it unless you wanna get insta-gibbed after your ultimate in teamfights, so I usually get two defensive items(Banshee's and Randuin's) and you can imagine him as somewhat of a bruiser, but not exactly. If you enjoy mechanically intensive champs like Riven or Zed you're gonna love this guy

    Yasuo is mostly a carry assassin who can excel by himself but can devastate enemies team in the right team composition.

    Early game focus on farming and roaming IMO. Your passive shield and E kiting helps against champions that rely on bursting, no poking and skill shot champions. You can definitely try to win trades and maybe kill enemies if the match up is in your favor. Otherwise try to keep farming.

    Mid game when you get SS and some lifesteal you can start ***ssinating enemies carry. He has a great sticking potential and use your as E wisely to dash through minions. But your focus is to gain level, push and gain items.

    Late game is you can even 1vs5 enemies of you have enough farm. If your teammates have air one abilities it will help a pot with your initiation. Q and AA a lot and try to kite enemies with your E

    In conclusion Yasuo is a very great carry/assassin champion that is very fun to play and worth buying, but he also relies to his teammates. But I need to tell you that I'm not a Yasuo main and is a bronze 5 so there might be a lot of mistakes in my writings

    Good luck

    I main Yasuo and I personally enjoy him. An important thing to know is that Yasuo is one of the hardest champions to learn in this game. It takes practice like any champion but this one may require more. In my opinion, Yasuo does not have a definitive play style because you can vary. Yasuo would most likely be an assassin or fighter. I like to play him more on the aggressive side. My goals in lane are to basically farm, harass every chance I get, and play safe. I only try to go for the early kill if I am certain I can get it. Yasuo is mostly known for how OP he can be and that is really the main strong point. He also has plenty of mobility and requires hard mechanics. Those mechanics actually make him very OP once you can use them correctly. The only time I have personally seen Yasuo squishy is when my team and I were behind. If you stay one step ahead, then you probably won't be as squishy. Just to mention, I am probably not as squishy because I build life steal. I can't really define a general player who would like Yas but I can tell you what I enjoy about Yasuo. First, he requires skill to play which tests your skill level and how you can improve. Next, He is fun to play if you practice him enough because he becomes undoubtedly OP. Finally, I look up to a challenge which Yasuo brings to the table. I would recommend Yasuo to someone who would want some challenge, improvement in league in general such as practice and commitment, and fun OP late game hyper carry. Hope this helps!
