Yasuo Counter

How do you counter Yasuo in the mid lane, (champion wise). Every little bit in Yasuo slips through the cracks and kinda recks me in the mid lane

Pretty much anyone with a point and click lock down.

Or someone who counters his ult and renders his windwall nigh useless Kayle .

Morgana [Q] Dark binding keeps him from dashing at you [W] Tormented Soil absolutely ruins Yasuo. He can't farm or block it. [E] Black Shield blocks his knock up. [R] Soul Shackles keeps him from running from you and your ganks.

Fizz can but you have to have some knowledge on how to play him. Ive never lost a lane to yasuo as fizz but dont get me wrong one mistake and you will die

You have to play safe first couple level.

When he trys to poke you, you have to poke him to get rid of his shield.

Never e on him if his shield is up.(its just a waste)

Most yasuo play aggressive. Once you are level 4 or 5 you should be able to take him on

Just use qw combo after you get rid of his shield, then when he trys to counter attack just e over his q and land on him. Just keep repeating thoses steps

Once you get ult when he e near you ult him then use the qwe combo

Building item 3068 will let pretty much anyone counter him.

Yasuo can't dodge a click lockdown. And his base MR's pretty bad.

Zed Fizz Diana Leblanc

People who are just as aggressive as he is, but they can actually burst him down at 6 with more ease.

Zone for days. Yasuo's meant to be pushing his lane hard, can't exactly do that when he gets a third of his health shaved off everytime he goes in (Donger's turrets can be targeted by his E though).

There a few others like Anivia and Morgana that can face him if the player knows what they're doing (due to the fact that their hard CC is a skillshot-projectile).

General tips: 1. Whenever his passive shield is up, autoattack him to reset it. 2. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, under any circumstances stand in your minion wave or near it when you're alone. You're just asking for him to go at you (unless you're baiting him, I guess). 3. Yasuo naturally pushes lane unless he's being zoned hard, making him easy to gank, as he has no natural escapes. 4. Focus Yasuo. Focus him hard. If you don't shut him down and make him useless for half of the game, then you're going to end up dead. Beg your teammates for help if you can't ban him, because someone who loses lane against Yasuo will just make the game harder for everyone else.

I'm just gonna step in here and make an edit to your list. Most of the champs are good yasuo counters, but good yasuo's can work around some of them.

Donger lissandra zed Diana (and fizz sometimes) aren't that much of a problem for good yasuo's. All the rest are a major tilt to yasuo's of any skill level.

I'll elaborate on why I said they aren't great counters after I get off work

ranged champs with decent CC

someone like Karma can cc him when he tries to trade THEN follow it up with rapid fire spells Ryze also does extremely well as long as you mind the wind wall

i use Cassiopeia and max her Q first this way u can tick him down from safety and you get under and around windwall. works great with DFT and item 2033
