I just bought yasuo and I know hes VERY hard, can someone please give me good beginner tips/builds

dang it, right after I posted on your other thread it apparently got moved or deleted. I had like a whole paragraph <_>

for build: / / after that it's all situational. here are some good situational ones

now for some tips

If you are doing a mirror match and the enemy kills you, that's a pretty big disadvantage for you compared to most mirror matches.

Don't start

Don't start E as your first spell until you become more experienced with him.

max your E first, the cooldown might not seem like much but it affects it a LOT. the damage helps a TON, believe it or not. your E will actually become vital in killing people early on.

try to harass your lane opponent whenever your shield is up by dashing through minions and then onto them and doing an E+Q+auto combo, or an auto+Q combo, or an auto+Q+E combo.

BE VERY CAREFUL when you are E'ing in lane. if you are too careless then you will dash straight into your enemy laner's tower.

When you are ulting someone, keep in mind that it refreshes your passive shield when you do. This can actually let you do those s1ck 0utplays by killing your enemy and stopping their ignite right when they think they have you.

Stopping enemy dives is easy if you have your third Q and your ult. let the tower aggro them first, and then Q, let them sit in the air so that they are cc'ed longer, then right before they hit the ground, ult. and then Q + E immediately after to finish them off ONLY if they are low enough.

don't waste your wind wall or throw it out randomly as it has a 26 second cooldown at rank 1.

Even if you land that 5 man q on the enemy team, sometimes it isn't the best idea to ult. For example, if your team is running away, and you q behind you and you land it, DON'T ult as they will just insta-kill you. another example is if you are behind. if you are behind you are going to get very underwhelming results as well.

if you are going to ult someone, make sure to get an extra auto attack in while they are airborne and THEN ult them. obviously you aren't going to do this if they are at like maximum ult range but it seriously hurts me when I see people right in front of them that they hit with their Q and they just ult right when they get knocked up.

remember that where you ult depends on where your cursor is. if you are going to ult in on their team, remember that you are going to ult where your cursor is. It's going to suck if 2 people that you knocked up don't get ulted because you didn't place your cursor in the center of their team.

If enemies are inside their tower and you ult them, the game will do it's best to place you OUTSIDE of the tower range. This isn't going to happen if they are like right next to the tower though.

PLEASE use your Q and E to farm as well as your auto attacks. this makes it so much easier to farm when you utilize it well, especially when you max E.

buy furor on your boots at some point during the game

don't you dare buy trinity force on him. that thing is a noob trap.

I can't think of anything else right now, so I'll leave you with one last tip.

PLEASE don't play ranked with him until you are consistently able to carry normal games with him.

Play against Normals.

Play normals and accept that you're going to feed.

During Lane

On easy match ups that you are comfortable on -You really want to abuse your E so you can proc the full stacks onto the person always try to go Auto/E/auto/ with some qs thrown in here and their -Abuse Tornado EQ onto them to limit counter play -when pushing them under tower, remember if you are against a ranged mage/adc or a skillshot farming mid laner, you can deny them entire minion waves by useing your wind wall under the enemy turret to make them miss minions -since your Q is a long range skill shot you can harrass them under tower if you aim it right

On hard match ups -Stick to the Q farm tornado play style, the q has decent range so you can safe farm on hard match ups to then zone them with your tornado q as they will be reluctant to fight you -Do not one shot entire minion waves by accident with your q, for this will force you to push which is what you don't want to do in a match up where you feel you have a disidvantage

IN ALL MATCH UPS -why you have a very strong level two power spike, be very carefull when all inning for the minions might end up killing you -Realize you can dodge skills if you time how you use your E on minions -Get early boots of speed, your a Melle mid laner with no legit escape tool, one can say you can use your E as a escape tool, but this is not really reliable for you need either minions or someone ontop of you, early boots of speed will save you from ganks, boots are love, boots are life

Random fun combat tips -EQ works as a AOE, meaning you don't have to EQ ontop of the enemy champion, instead what you can do is EQ on a minion who is right next to him, so that way you can get the EQ damage onto your opponent, auto him, and still have your E to use onto him -WQ cancels animation -windwall sorta leaps u back by a microscopic distance if you cast it in the opposite direction your running in, minor tip when avoiding ganks -Sometimes it is better to not do EQ and simple e onto your opponent, auto then proc q, for this is actually more dps then the actual EQ

I honestly just recommend spamming him and watching videos. (in norms)
