How do I play Yasuo.

Gorchek·Jun 4, 2015·1 votes·300 views

I just can't figure it out. I can't make trades solo top because all I have is one Q, so anyone with a combo just wrecks me. It just takes one or two trades and they're at full health and I'm at half. Can I use my dash to refill my shield quicker? Sure, but that's not going to help when I'm manfighting someone and all I can do is auto attack or Q for low amounts of damage.

Please help me figure out how to not get bullied in every solo lane I play Yasuo in.

Well, you are using one of the most mechanically intensive champs in the game. Sorry man, but you are going to get pooped on in A LOT of games before you start getting good with him.

He may not be ideal top either, since he has no sustain and low defensive stats, and is also surprisingly vulnerable to ganks, try him mid, since mid is a shorter lane he has more time to escape ganks, and since it is closer to his base he can afford to recall more often so his lack of sustain isn't noticeable.

Go watch redmercy's yasuo videos, his playstyle is a lot like my own. he can show you how to win trades and such, just watch one of his full game commentaries. <3 gl bro (he also plays zed)

Use your E Q combo to keep dashing through minions to harass. E through one minion do some poke, E back through another minion. Use wind wall if needed. Rinse and repeat

Doing that puts me too close to the enemy champ, and then he initiates on me, which is exactly the problem I'm having: in a 1v1 fight, I always lose, because all I can do is weakly Q and auto-attack. I have the same problem when I play Nasus, although that's even worse, since having to Siphon Strike champs hurts my stack-farm.

Well I can't help more than what I said earlier. You just need to be quick. I mean as a Yasuo you are melee so you will be in close range for almost anything you do except ulting with your tornado. Usually you should wait till you have a few items, Yasuo's early game isn't good he has low base HP and is prone to losing trades very easily. It also depends on who you are fighting.
