What do you do when there's a Yasuo on your team?

It seems like often when I play Top in ranked there's a Yasuo mid. What happens is: Mid - Yasuo (AD) Jungler - Some squishy AD champ like Rengar, Kha, or non-tanky Xin Bottom - Some AD Marksman Support - Some squishy healer or mage

Then I see "Top go tanky and AP, someone like Swain" "yeah play swain" "play swain or malphite we need ap"

The enemy team ends up having 3 tanks and we get shutdown mid game.

Sometimes if I'm mid I'll see this new Yasuo bot lane instead of an ADC. Seems like these Yasuo players flip out when Yasuo and Fizz get banned at the same time. And sometimes, rarely, they will carry hard enough that the enemy team can't just armor stack against us.

When you get these Yasuo players/ Yasuo pick intents on your team, do you try to pick AP as top to balance the team damage? Or just pick what you're good with even if that means having 4 AD champs on your team? Because there aren't a lot of AP top choices with sustain and Will of the Ancients isn't a thing anymore so it's a pain when you're against someone who can heal up all of your poke.

Yasuo as a pick probably does best in top lane right now, then you can still get an ap mid and he gets super farmed up there. And dont get me started on how juicy yasuo +orianna is. Had a game yesterday i was playing yasuo top with vi jungle and orianna mid. We ended up having a fight where vi ults like two people as they were running stacked, chained into 3 man ori ulr into yasuo ult, just beutiful wombo. However you should learn atleast 1 real ap top that your comfortable with for those games you get ad mids. My personal favourite right now is kayle as she is really good against tanks and juggernauts, and scales into absolute monster with just 3 items

Tankiness sucks, just pick whatever you want.

Yasuo just ignores a lot of armor anyway, might as well consider him doing close to true damage after an R.

If I see Yasuo top, and I am mid, I take syndra. Her displacement, stun, and she is a lane bully. If I see Yasuo mid, and I am top, I take teemo. Because that is about the only thing I can play top and be good at. If I see Yasuo top, and I am support, I tend to take Janna or Lulu, because out of my supports that I play well, those two have a knock up. If I see Yasuo mid, and top is ad as well, and I am support, I go Zyra or Morgana. Because we need ap damage, and Zyra at least has a knock up.

If I am against a Yasuo I just ff@20.
