What to do against Yasuo [Not a hate thread]

Hello I am Bird·Dec 21, 2016·3 votes·362 views

So as a ranged top laner laning against a Yasuo, what do I do?

Farming becomes a non option after really early game, and farming under tower is a mess. He windwalls against any trades I have to go against him.

I don't want this to be a thread about me being a horrible person for playing a top laner I also don't want this to be a thread for people spewing their hate or "balance ideas" about yasuo

I just want this to be an informative thread on how to fight him

Why is farming under tower a mess

1: I'm silver elo, I'm bad at farming under tower 2: His windwall can just kinda cancel me farming 3: He and his jg can dive me under tower at any time 4: He can still poke me down while taking minimal damage because towers do no damage

I'll be honest, there's not much you can do.

It's the trade off for playing a ranged top. While you can bully most champs into submission, if you face someone who counters you, you become useless

Farming under tower would be a great way to deal with yasuo - but his wind wall doesn't let you do that. You basically have to flirt with death to farm against him. It's best to beat yasuo with a counter pick.

Yep, cuz 4 secs of not autoing completely stops you from farming.

when there is a damaged wave under a tower and Yas can block you from doing damage of any kind to is...say as like...ziggs - lux - ahri. It's a big problem. It's really the main reason hes considered caner because no mater how you play against him (unless it's completely crushing him) he has the tools to beat you at it.

It's literally the same thing ranged champs do to melees under turret.

The difference is, he isn't damaging you

Except it's not the same because they can always trade health for minions/dodge your spells/or use their spells to farm/plus being closer to you is their end goal anyways...Like it's not even in the same ball park. Ranged champions are forced to keep distance with melle champs or die. Yasuo punishes you for doing what you must do. That is not balance.

I reallly don't see how it's different. Ranged champs can just as easily trade their hp for minions, like melee champs.
