Yasuo dumps on Jax in lane. It's not even kind of hard.
VivaLaKitten4 votesnot really, Jax just has a poor early game and Yasuo has a strong laning phase
Melledoneus1 votesBut if Yasuo commits to a fight Jax can screw him over. After 6, Jax wins by default.
VivaLaKitten2 voteshe can, but if Yasuo does it right he can win early game, since Jax isn't that late game beast yet
AninLegions7772 votesJax IS and always has been a late game beast. Rageblade + Gunblade = RIP. He has too much AS. His E pretty much negates any AA reliant champ and his Passive R is just too much. So yeah, Jax is a late game beast.

Is this a smurf that you've never cared to level up or are you really a level 7 LoL casual who is trying to speak as if he doesn't have his head up somewhere when in reality he does?

The former my friend, and Yasuo does indeed shit on Jax in lane. Jax is too much of a slow fatass relative to Yasuo and is just weaker early.
Jax will obviously be able to easily beat Yasuo one on one as the game goes on, but Jax does that to almost everyone.

Yasuo actually fucks
In what world? What kind of competent Nasus would ever lose to yasuo? It's a free stack lane and as time goes by, you keep up in terms of damage but outscale in cc and tankiness. If yasuo also builds the newly popular bruiser build, it gets easier even faster than before.
Only Play Darius1 votesNasus is one of the very few toplaners that Yasuo can zone, so if Yasuo plays the matchup the way he should then Nasus won't get easy stacks at all. Nasus likes to rush armor and Yasuo's ult renders 50% of that meaningless. I have hundreds of Nasus games and can tell you that against a competent Yasuo, Nasus won't win unless he gets help from his jungler. http://champion.gg/matchup/Nasus/Yasuo/Top

I have hundreds of Nasus ranked games and currently sitting with him in a 63% win ratio in plat 3. Does that make me an expert? Well no but, i have played the matchup against every possible yasuo top laner there is. Yasuo needs to PUSH in order to fight. THAT is his greatest weakness and that is exactly where Nasus comes in. If Yasuo wishes to poke Nasus, he needs to Q and use E, usually hard pushing the wave. I start the matchup with 18 armor form runes + cloth armor. That's like 60+ armor level 1. No matter how much he tries to push me out of lane, it's not gonna happen.
As far as yasuo's ult goes. Yes, it does ingore 50% of your armor but, you're not gonna eat it in the face before you're good and ready. He can't actually force a fight while you're near your tower, Besides, you still deal the same amount of damage he does(against crit yasuo, if it's bruiser yasuo you deal more) and have more armor+health+lifesteal+hp/AD steroid ult and above all wither as a bonus. All you have to do in order to make sure he doesnt get a chance to get away after he foolishly tries to fight you 12+ mins in the game, is to make sure you have no allied minions around for him to try to dash to while being withered. Don't forget, your purpose is not to duel him early, just to stack and it's not that hard. Nasus has the hardest time stacking vs champions with cc that can lock him in place and beat him down as he gest close to SS. Yasuo's only cc is extremely visible and you can simply stay away untill it expires. Give up minions if need it be, it won't matter much soon anyway.
When ready to fight yasuo, you need to make sure you have gathered the required stacks, you need to make sure there are not many allied minions around, take into account his possible ignite(it doesnt make much difference 15+ mins in the game though) and have already maxed wither 2nd for back to back use and always try to pop his shield before your first Q. It won't really matter if he ults you or not, he'll be just getting himself more and more trapped. Soon, you'll be able to dive him again and again. If he is foolish enough to go for the assasin crit build, you'll be able to 1v2 him and his jungler for a long period of time in the game.
I've stopped using plain iceborn gauntlet in this matchup as it falls off in terms of damage a lot late game and stalls the tower taking too much, even if it is combined with a sterak's later. Instead, i start with 10% flat cdr and then i build chain vest(+sheen/kindlegem depending on the back) and then rush Triforce and thornmail, reaching 40% cdr. It is the same as the old Triforce+FH build but i just replaced the somewhat useless FH with thornmail. Full Build looks something like this: 
and last anything you prefer:

Only Play Darius1 votesDarius's late game itself isn't too good, but if his team sets him up properly and lets him get early kills he will mop up that fight regardless. He's somewhat of a champ you build around and a team that can enable him will get carried easily.

Yasuo can outplay you until level 3 when u get your full combo. Wind wall is worthless so yasuo only has two abilities to work with.
Once yasuo finishes this new bruiser build he wins. Traditional crit yasuo can never duel darius no matter how complete his build is.

If by "traditional crit Yasuo" you mean "Full AD retard mode" then yeah probably.
A Yasuo with PD, BotRK, IE, and then all defense items shits on Darius' breakfast 1v1 (especially if he has Warlord's Bloodlust), except maybe if the Darius went full retard/Yasuo's team is all AD and Darius built full armour.

"especially if he has warlords"
Warlords is relatively ineffective against darius since by the time you get low enough for it to start running on all cylinders you're typically low enough to be executed. And since we're talking about 6 item yasuo, you should know the dunk has reached its 1000+ true damage third level.
There's no reason yasuo should shit on darius at any point in the game unless if he goes this new stupidass build that he's been going with mallet. Even then he's reliant more on poking darius down than straight up dueling with him.
Going warlords seriously gimps the shit out of yasuo's potential damage output and like I said before is highly ineffective against champions with executes. The current strongest yasuo build involves abusing fervor.

A Yasuo with the build I proposed (the optimal two tank items would be Randuins and Spirit Visage btw, assuming Darius' team had enough magic damage to justify the latter) has roughly three thousand HP. He'd need to be brought to a little over a third of his health for the dunk to kill him, and honestly? I doubt Yasuo would get that low. He'd drain tank through Darius' damage, and Dar wouldn't be able to do the same.

I doubt it. Darius gets stomped on by real attack speed/life steal duelists late game. I doubt Yasuo would be any exception to that.
Going warlords seriously gimps the shit out of yasuo's potential damage output and like I said before is highly ineffective against champions with executes. The current strongest yasuo build involves abusing fervor.
Not really. Fervor of battle is better early game if Yasuo is building like a carry since it gives him more damage in lane, but warlord's is much better in a 1v1. At 50% health it provides 9% life steal. Combined with his Blade of the Ruined King and vampirism that's 21% life steal, and being at fifty percent still keeps Yasuo outside of Darius' dunk range.
The current strongest Yasuo build uses fervor because fervor is what enables this build to exist. Without fervor the bruiser build doesn't really do any damage. For a Yasuo that is actually building crit fervor is weaker late game than warlord's, especially in a 1v1. Oh, and bruiser Yasuo is a worse duelist than a Yasuo with the build I outlined.
But hey, don't take my word for it. That's straight from Arkadata's mouth, who pioneered the hot bruiser Yasuo build, and also made the duelist Yasuo build I'm talking about.

Thematically the AD steroid fits, is the same concept as the reset on his ult.
The heal was added more due to he being kited without being able to do jackshit (outside of lane) due to his really poor ms
Boulderox1 votesThematically the AD steroid fits, is the same concept as the reset on his ult.

ok, can i ask this question, was it worth taking away his innate weakness that was being kited, and making it so he is relevant throughout the game persay?
I only say this because of how 
mixes so well with his Q that he can catch up enough to murder someone.
By this i mean, AA minion/anything, ghosting q, hits target, E, W AA, and from there stack up to 4-5 hemorrhage for an easy cheesy ult...
Only reason i say this is because 
is a problem, and personally his passive MS steroid with slow is one of the things that make him a nightmare, given how is a viable option on him... But instead is the opposite reaction, albeit a bit more tricky, the range on the q far surpasses anything a melee top laner can do to escape when farming.
The only reason i bring this all up is because i still see darius as a problem, there are more pressing ones sure out on live, but darius i feel is still up there for being too powerful for what he is supposed to do. I can understand him having sustain, sure, give him something to survive, but when you give him % missing hp sustain taht is 12-36% FOR EACH CHAMP HIT... and exists... i have trouble understanding how that is balanced.
He is among a handful of champs that have % missing hp heals, 
and 
.
Now the last 3 i will pull aside, as the others have 1% missing hp ticks over the duration.
& sit at 5% missing hp values and have there moments where they are a problem with sustain.
has a 15% missing hp pop ability
but 
can have a 36% missing hp PER champ hit...
say you hit 3 champs, you gain 108% your missing hp, enevitably healing more than you had before.
(.36x3)x(ex missing health of 500)=540 regained
2 targets=360 out of the 500 missing, that is 72% regen of what you took... and he always buys sooo, hes getting too much health for free, i am sorry.
I just can't for the life of me see how that is at all fair... balanced... or in any way NOT opressive.
I am sorry for this rant, but I don't understand how people say he is balanced, when one champ builds full tank and one offensive and can murder everyone, but darius does it and it's ok? what?
I am THE Darius2 votes"but can have a 36% missing hp PER champ hit... say you hit 3 champs, you gain 108% your missing hp, enevitably healing more than you had before."
No that's not how it works. "Darius heals for 12% missing health for each enemy champion hit by Decimate's blade, up to a maximum of 36% missing health. The hilt of Darius' axe will not apply Hemorrhage." - http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Darius
Every champ he hits with the OUTSIDE of his Q gets him 12% missing hp up to 36% missing. 36% missing per champ would be absolutely bullshit as in a team fight every q would full health him even if he had like 30 hp he'd be back to 3k.

my apologies, i relooked at the ability, and you are correct, capping at 36% missing hp, yes, and with , that adds another 7.2% of healing off the 36% heal, presumably, making it still a healthy 43.2% of your missing hp, almost half...
but let me ask then, what counters darius, because he seems to fair pretty damn well with anything with 
ing passive and full tank... where as many other champs have to build full damage to do the same damage he can output in a combo. And "kiting" is irrelevant when his Q if it hits, you are withing e range anyways, which results in the wombo combo.
I have thrown tanks, bruisers, and mages at this fucker and he still is able to combo cheese once he hits 6. 
ult happens more than you would think...
I am THE Darius2 votesDon't normally get on so sorry for the hilariously late reply (and necro) but the closest true counter to Darius is 
. As a Darius main she is the bane of my existence due to her ult being able to completely stop Darius resets in lane and in teamfights and i'm glad she's off meta. Also 
and 
are effective against him toplane. Most melee don't due well against him due to the nature of his kit and fighting style so don't bother fighting him in lane phase, just farm.

Again you have to difference between lane darius and team fight darius. Lane Darius is supposed to be a monster, the whole point is that he is going to bully pretty much anyone that tries to lane against him on melee range, that is his niche and that is what he does. Outside lane is when he is prone to kiting, and his passive on hemorrhage (gives him movement speed per stack of hemorrhage on enemy champions) is meant that once he finally catches a target he can stick to it, same with the slow on his W, Darius want to be on top of you because he will outdamage everyone. He still hasn't lose his weakness....he still moves quite slow and you can kite him forever as long as you can keep away from his Q range, he is not like other champions that you can wait for his pull and then dash away since then you will give him the tools to stick to you, you want to avoid him completely. The cheesy heal is there since it is expected that he will be at least half HP by the time he finally catches to someone and can do some damage before being blown
