Getting harassed in the top lane

So here is the scenario, your game just starts and you are top lane against a yasuo as a melee champion. You get into lane and try to start farming but he immediately starts dashing straight towards you and then immediately back out on a minion over and over again, everytime u get anywhere near the opposing creep wave he comes for you slowly chipping you down while at the same time rapidly increasing the difference in cs between the two of you. You ask for help from your jungler but they just tell you that you should be fine and refuses to gank. You fall farther and farther behind and the yasuo eventually gets a kill. Your jungler still wont gank but now the enemy mid lane and jungle are both camping your lane. No one on your team is willing to help you and with three people top they can dive you and get out without losing anyone. What should you do to get out of this scenario. (This is a true story from one of my most recent games, I was playing wukong btw, enemy midlane was lux, jungle was vollibear, and our jungler was malphite)

Realistically? gank bot

Tp to bot lane when you see either the jungle or mid head top, they won't be able to respond easily. this way you catch up and your bot is now fed.

well the first thing you need to do is understand the game and your champion.

Unlike some you've volunteered your champion, that's a good sign.

Now there's the matter of dealing with yasuo as wukong, wu is not the best laner.. period.

This has been a thing for him for a very long time, an issue he's always had to deal with. So how did you attempt to deal with this? First you will likely want some defense and just enough damage to farm under tower however much that may be for wukong. Also it should be noted that because of how yasuo's kit works here are some items that are extra potent against him

item 1054 item 3068 item 3143 item 3075 item 3047

IMPORTANT NOTE I reference these items individually, this is not a anti yasuo build suggestion its 5 individual options against him

Also another thing to understand is jungles position here. He is not only not obligated to help you but perhaps shouldn't depending on who the jungler is playing.

Also another thing to understand.. top gets snowballed on sometimes. You can lose that tower whatever. The teleport isn't just taken in top to go back to toplane fast.

Another thing. wave control. Yasuo damages minions and pushes his wave everytime he dashes to you and when he hits you it draws your minions agro again pushing the wave in your direction, both of which work in your favor.

There's a lot to know. But you gotta start with understanding the basics and the common knowledge stuff like wukong being not the best laner. Wukong's strong phase is the same as yasuo's, midgame
