Trogmar··5 votes·560 views

Hey guys just practising some yasuo in normals as a fun pick. Runes seem straight forward, basicly Adc runes. I'm not sure exactly what masteries are the best to run. Also im looking for some tips or ticks on playing him. Any lesser known combos or well known ones I should be useing? laning advice? after lane advice? Please post on topic, I dont need to hear "dont play him"

Really guys? This guy is just trying to learn a new champ and you react by disliking him into oblivion and telling him to fuck off? That's just fucking pathetic and rude.

I mean it's not his fault that Yasuo is so annoying and it's his decision whether or not he wants to play him or not. Jeez.


When it comes to builds, most people run Warlord's even though I think Fervor is better, but that's just me and highly debatable. Build is always PD rush, Zerker's or defensive boots if you wanna play safe, IE, BT, Frozen Mallet and a GA to finish it off.

I honestly believe that most of the people who don't like Yasuo never actually play Yasuo.

Understanding how his kit works and what his ranges are makes it pretty easy to counter him.

That being said, playing AS Yasuo has a lot to do with knowing his limits.

He has no built in sustain or enhanced resistances.

He is able to get 100% crit from two items, normally something like Phantom Dancer and Infinity Edge.

Because of the previous two points, I believe that it is actually wise to go for these two items, along with some lifesteal and a more 'bruiser' item. Something with health and/or resistances. Play safer, more like a fighter, until you feel confident enough to go for the more offensive builds without dying.

His kit is designed to shed initial damage with his flow shield and his Windwall.

Like with other skirmishers, you want to use this to his advantage to engage, deal some quick damage and get out, until you are able to straight up 1v1 your opponents.

It is very VERY tempting to go in when you really shouldn't.

You DO NOT need to ulti on every knockup.


This is something that I don't think many people do, but I actually found it to be fun.

Go into a bot game and play AP Yasuo.

His E scales on AP so this will help you to practice and understand how best to use his E to maximize it's damage. I believe it will also help you to use your Q more effectively since it doesn't deal as much damage when building him this way, but you will still need it.

And it's just fun.

You should expect to be camped and camped hard.

Many players hate the champion and expect their player to conform to certain stereotypes (i.e. overly aggressive, prone to tilting/raging), so they will come after you early and often for free kills and to tilt you (and by extension, your team).

If need be, ward and play safely until you are strong enough to handle it.

i ban yasou every time i can ban.. why? cause he is broken... 2x crit per crit stat.. no mana pool.. can go to every minion that hasnt been molested by him... top of all that he can put windwall that blocks practically all ranged attacks... while he has wind wall and dashing like super high santa claus he holds that tornado randomly and pops u up... once u are dashing in the sky with his ult procced off the tornado at your tower he kills u and dashes back to a minion. Hopefully they give him a mana bar and it will stop all this bs he can do

Tip against other duelists: Kite them with minions while you build up your third Q, then knock them up and ult. This will win you almost any duel against almost anyone, although it's very difficult against certain counters like Fiora (can easily Riposte E+third Q, and can easily dodge a thrown third Q with her Q).

With your ult, you will outdamage almost anyone, and you'll already have done a fair amount of damage with ur Q+ult, helping burst even more.
