You shouldn't play/main Yasuo when you get stomped by Lux in lane

{quoted}

Very rarely is that ever the case. Lo' and behold it isn't in this either.

Can Yasuo "beat" a Lux? Sure. He can go all ham and E through all of her minions and ignore ALL of the CS as he chases Lux around while she spams shield and plops E under herself and then here comes the jungler to kill the over extended Yasuo.

First blood.

Now Yasuo just "beat" Lux and then lost about 20 cs and died trying to prove how awesome his RNG is.

Yasuo is now still level 2/3 and Lux is already level 5-6.

Scenario 2:

Can Yas beat Lux? Sure. If Lux decides to chuck Qs into wind walls from a distance wind wall can be abused and chuck Es mindlessly without a distinct purpose.

But if she saves Q and uses E by placing it over her cannon minions/ cs in general at a specific time Yasuo won't be able to wind wall it, and he also can't CS without taking free harass. Also due to range he'll never have a shield, so, the damage will always stick. Yasuo will eventually be down in cs and also gankable, and if he retaliates he'll just die to jungler anyways. And if his jungler comes Lux'll just snare the jungler and walk away. So, there's really 0 kill potential against a decent Lux as Yasuo.

On top of that at level 6 if Lux gets down to half you die because windwall does not block Lux ult.

On top of that, Lux's roam is superior to Yasuos, so she can get fed just by walking to dragon pit and sniping botlane, and also deprive your jungler of farm by ult sniping his jungle while he's doing it, some times even netting kills.

Meanwhile, Yasuo's still chilling in lane with a Stattik shiv stroking his e-peen thinking he's all hot shit becuz "muh crits and muh windwall"

Endgame

1/15/3 "gg bad team"

And yes, this is a typical score of 90% of Yasuos in gold 2 and above.

He's one of the most hated mid laners of higher mmr simply because he's gank bait and requires a lot of dumb shit to go right for him which is never the case because he's always busy dying due to getting butt fucked for being overly aggressive, which is the very nature of his kit.

im sorry bud, but as a lux main I'm just going to tell you that, you are wrong. a good yasuo wins this matchup 100% of the time if their skill is even. the Lux can probably solo kill him and harass him well sure. but the yasuo is just going to shove in the wave to tower with his manaless wave clear, windwall any attempts to hit him as he clears, and then farm a side camp while you use your abilities to farm under tower as best as you can. If you try to freeze it, he will harass you while you take creep damage so thats not possible either.

I've played against good and bad Yasuo's in this match up a lot cuz he's a popular champ. A good yasuo just outfarms you significantly. and I mean by a HUGE amount. it takes him time to ramp up this lead, but he will inevitably get it. a good lux will probably never be killed by yasuo, but that doesn't mean she has not lost lane.

a key component of being a mid laner is being able to roam and create map pressure, and yasuo makes that impossible for Lux.

You do realize missing CS does not make you lose exp. If anything Lux will be way behind Yasuo in terms of exp. Last hitting gives you gold, being near minions gives you exp.

I hope you also realize someone who harasses and trades smartly won't miss very much cs. You act as if him Eing to a minion and then Lux for an EQ combo makes him lose the whole wave.
