Is there ANY possible way to win lane vs Yasuo?

I have tried every single "Hard counter" against him and guess what. None of them worked not even NONE OF THEM Everytime i faced yasuo i picked one of these champions and i always lost lane. Yeah keep calling me a bronzie but im just really asking help vs which was renamed from genocide leader cancer aids ebola serialkiller to yasuo. Even with camper junglers its still lost lane. The and then full tank build seems to have no real hard counter. NOTHING of the metioned counters from lolcounter.com worked not even youtube videos helped me nothing. I played that champion once and was 3/0 vs kayle I pushed the hell out of her denied cs etc. YASUO SEEMS TO HAVE NO REAL COUNTER and if one exists then god exists too

Stop looking for counters. I take my mains into Yas's and usually beat them.

Are you triggering the shield with a weak attack before you commit to a damage trade/poke against him? That's something I see a lot of players don't do against Yasuo in the laning phase. If you see his Flow gauge full, hit him with an auto to get the shield to waste itself before you throw a spell his way.

Lissandra Darius Riven Cassiopeia hi??

..okay, im gonna level with you. I hate Yasuo. He is cancer. there is a billion things about him that are cancer. How he gets away with having so much free shit, is cancer. How he gets the break the rules of his own kit is cancer. How he gets to just upright deny multiple champs kits is also cancer. The people who play him unironoically and call themselves Yasuo mains also tend to be fucking cancer. How Riot added him to the LeeSin tier favorite child List is even more cancer. And his lane pattern is fucking cancer.

But really?

As cancerous as laning against the fucker is, laning against him is far from impossible unless you run into him like moron expecting to win every time. Yasuo requires you approach the match up very differently and is needlessly mentally and mechanically taxing for the player playing against him compared to the other way around, but he is far from an impossible to beat laning god like Renekton, Ryze, Darius, Leblanc or Riven ever were.

Even my Talon , Orianna , Janna dumpsters the fucker.

Is you really want freelo against the mofo, ..and somehow Malzahar didn't work, try Swain and Lissandra .

Legit just save your CC for whenever he jumps on you and then drop all your shit on him. Yasuos are cocky asswipes that like to get all flashy and needlessly aggressive in lane so you will have plenty of opportunity to spank the fucker in retaliation.

If all else fails, then I am sorry, but your fundamentals simply need to be improved.

And don't forget Randuin's Omen. Yasuo relies heavily on critical strike chance so the passive from Randuin's Omen will decrease the amount of damage you take from his critical strikes by 10%.

Yasuo is not that hard to beat pick a champ your good with and mess him up i usually beat him down on shyvanna he if can't dash he is done cause he has no escape and cc is his enemy i can usually beat him with ryze to.

Nasus Wither and Frozen Heart really screws up his Q

MrButternuss1/10/2017, 12:53:40 PM1 votes

I main Azir and i beat Yasuo like every time.

Tipp: Yasuo players are most of the time pretty cocky. They love to dive u at lvl 3,4,6 Take some cc with you. With Azir i have my wall to push him back into tower. Xerath is also not bad because he cant use his Windwall against ur Q and W. And MANY Yasuo Mains are relying on this wall. But if Yasuo comes close to u...u ded :P

Tipp 2: Sometimes i pick Mordekaiser (Full AP with Rylais and Gunblade) against him. Its a pretty sick Counter. Ofc u have to play pretty well but IF you do Yasuo cant do shit against you, if he even comes close u can deal some RETARDET Dmg and Heal urself. Just hold your shield up. ^^ Max W first and violaaa.. he cant farm.. he cant deal dmg.. he could just go afk it would not change anything. :D

For summs go summoner 3 or summoner 14 or summoner 21 (last one is depending on team and matchups)

I've beat him with nidalee and taliyah in the past... just play your best champ and I think you'll figure out a way.

aggro him before he gets pd, don't just let him scale

Renekton totally works.

Just play safe-ish for the first few levels, once you get your first item you should start wrecking him

Why not ban him?

Azure Hamster1/10/2017, 3:39:17 PM1 votes

Platinum and up:

http://champion.gg/champion/Yasuo

Renekton, Camille, Pantheon, Kayle, Irelia all have roughly a 55% win rate against him.

Personally I like to play Ziggs against him, or Xerath.

You need to actually know how and why to play his "counters" and the most effective strategy for beating him, is to freeze the lane at your tower because most yasuo players are stupid. You exploit this by making him take turret shots to trade with you and letting your jungler know that he is out of position so he can take advantage of it.

Edit: Idk who told you zyra/kayle are counters, those are disgusting picks.

maybe because your so noob?

Elycian12/24/2017, 7:06:32 PM1 votes

General rule for me is: don't fight him level 1 and 2, he beats everyone thanks to the low cooldown on Q. On darius try to get rid of his passive first, then go for extended trades to get your passive up, try to sidestep his Q's. On akali i go for electrocute proc trades, making good use of the shroud. On malz i play it back till level 6, then i try to poke him to setup a killing ultimate. On renekton do the harass combo E W auto Q E away, repeat when its off cooldown. Mid game most assassins burst him down before he even reacts assuming hes not fed.

Yas is easy to beat, most predictable champ in the game.

Play Yasuo more, learn how he works and what he as a champion would want to do in a lane; because it's bronze you may not get a lot of experience in hardships of how Yasuo gets smashed usually in lane without forethought, however that isn't what you are looking for when you're doing this. Gain surrounding knowledge and self-awareness. Then go back and play smarter with nearly any character. Abilities and actives counter others for a duration, Entire champions do not. That which can be played around with knowledge, is called theoretical game skill or macroplay; and enacting it is mechanical skill.

Do you have time?

Add me in game and I will teach you if you like. Yasuo is pretty easy to beat.

EDIT: Also if you are looking for a specific top lane counter to Yasuo I think it is pretty much impossible to lose against Yasuo as Mord Mordekaiser \\ I say that but it is more important to understand how to beat a champ rather than just expecting that you can pick a champ and magically counter someone.

If the yasuo is good just play around your jungler thats all you can do.

He a high skill cap champion if he has 100 games on yas vs Renekton Even though is a hard counter he should know how to handle it

Tangy Citrus1/10/2017, 12:26:52 PM1 votes

I always go riven into yasuo if i can. It's easy for me as riven to shut him down throughout the game. You may not have the same luck. If you have to go malzahar top lane cheese against him, it's definitely his ultimate counter.

If you go bruiser into him then don't fight him before level 3 he will always win trade. Get a chain vest early whether ahead or behind. If ahead just get first piece to item then chain vest or ninja tabi. Avoid leaving your lane when possible and let him push hard if your jungle plans to gank so he can't just E away through minions.

Yasuo is easy to face in lane after you know how to fight him. Also avoid extended trades especially if he has ignite.
