Dealing with Yasuo

Ben SwoIo··1 votes·528 views

I've had issues playing against Yasuo players. Sometimes in lane and others just him being on the other team. This isn't some "yasuo is op gg nerf him plz ty" thread. I'm just curious how other people deal with him. His kit is insane. Dash dash dash, Q tornado windwall, shield passive, whatever. What is a good way to deal with him / keep him contained? As a jungler I have ganked and he usually escapes with his insane mobility. When I've gone top, my champ pool isn't very effective against him and I end up screwing over my team. Then again I'm not the best top laner / jungler. Anyway, let me know what you fine gentlemen do against him. (Don't just say ban him. That doesn't help with learning how to play against him.)

Well, most of the time I only attack him when he's stunned so he can't dodge or use his wall. If he uses his windwall, count the seconds until he can use it again, my stun on both mains are about 12 seconds (Syndra Veigar) If you're a melee fighter, then you can just walk around the wall or only attack him when he's close enough that even if he activates it you'll be behind it. Only fight him when he's away from minions, I do this by freezing the lane close to my turret so he can't dash, if he did then he'd go closer to my turret. Since you're a jungler, you can ask the person fighting against yasuo to farm under the turret, and then push a lane he isn't at and attack that turret with the person laning so the both of you can go deal with yasuo.

Thanks. I'm in the middle of changing up my champ pool so I may consider someone I like that has a stun / something to make him immobile. Very annoying especially when he's near death but dashes away. I notice you say to walk around the wind wall as a melee fighter. Does it have an effect on melee champs that I'm not aware of? I tend to use Tryndamere up top.

I did realize that ad bruiser Alistar top is very strong against him, Since the yas will see an ali top and build item 3156 first. but you can build item 3001 item 3748item 3071 item 3068 early on and he realy stuggles

I honestly never considered Ali top. Could work, I'd be willing to give it a shot. Thanks.

I've been using Tryndamere against him and not once have I had any success. Should I be winning this lane as Trynd?

Ok, so, yasuo just straight up wins early as he can out play you while you can only run at him. You win mid game, and lategame is decided by your build paths
