I'm fairly new to league and I've been mainly playing mid with syndra and aurelion sol. I mostly do fine with the exception of a few heroes that give me trouble like fizz.

Except for Yasuo. Jesus Christ I cannot even touch him. I'm lucky if I go 1-3 against him in a lane. He always has more creep score than me by a factor of 2 because of his mad farming ability. He always has infinite close/retreat capability and is able to do massive damage, exhaust my potions and make me recall or risk feeding him. I can't even get near my minions in fear that he will destroy me. His whirlwind stun is so hard to dodge even with boots and lasts long enough for him to destroy me. His shield makes it so that he is so hard to kill and absorbs a lot of damage and his scaling is nuts.

I heard Syndra was mid god tier, so what am I doing wrong? Any common mistakes noobs like me make vs Yasuo? I try to get rid of his shield before doing any damage to him, stay away from minions, build seekers armguard early for armor, try to bait out his stun before moving forward, try farming my best under tower when I can. What else can I do?

Just hearing his Japanese battle cries tilts me to no end.

I see this a lot in silver especially vs soraka but usually when champions like yasuo and soraka want to hit their skill shot they walk towards you a little bit or point their bodies towards you. If they do this then walk to the side to dodge it early. Some people are good at hiding their skill shots but all the way up to silver 1 where I am it's still pretty easy to predict.

Syndra doesn't do very well Vs yasuo in a 1v1 scenerio, let him push up and gank him. If you aren't going to get a gank just focus on farming and poke with Q only.

Once he goes back push up and roam, Just don't try to 1v1 yasuo and if you still don't feel confortable take exhaust since it shuts him down fairly easy.

a few heroes

A quick aside, but in League of Legends, they're referred to as champions.

He is weakest in the early phase. You can take advantage of the ban phase.
