I wish I saw Yasuo MORE!!! (Beating Yasuo Strat's)
Now, as the title says, I wish** I** (emphasis on the I part) saw him more, in the mid lane. People play him so much and I've seen him so much that I pretty much have a solid strategy to play against him. Yes, i agree completely with you all, Yasuo is broken. But so useless if he falls behind.
I'll give you my little game-play strategy. (NOTE: this is a lower elo, Bronze to Gold, strategy, just a heads up) Screenshot of some proof using this strategy
-
Pick this guy
Now, I know what your thinking, Just hear me out now. -
Level 1 - 3, play passive. farm, poke with the range to stop his shield from filling, SAVE MANA. (The passive helps with this)
-
at level 4, have 2 points in Q. play a little aggressive while charging it up. also never use your E(Stun) offensively only defensively (for now) - Now this is the important part, (if he hasn't already done it). If he throws out the windwall, DO NOT ATTACK HIM, Xeraths Q is not, I repeat, NOT, blocked by windwall. Neither is his W or Ult. So if he throws out the wind wall, he doesn't know that. And we don't want him to know this yet.
-
level 5, now you can start to poke him with your Q. Most (if not all) Yasuo's I've played are super confused about how i hit them, and didn't get blocked by the wind wall. and start acting more aggressive.
-
So if you make it to this point, at level 6, play right inside the range of the turret. Now , like it was written in the, "(How to play Yasuo - Guide to free elo, Wood V - Gold 1 edition)" he will throw his tornado at you, AND YOU WILL LET IT HIT, he will then ult, (it will do about half of your health, so be careful, Taking
really helps) -
Combo him, (E, Q, W is what i use) plus two turret shots. if you have poked him down at least 3/4 health, he will be really low, (If not dead). that's when you use your ult, it will usually take 1 shot to finish him off, maybe two.
The combo at level 6 usually is mana costly, that's why playing passively up to that point is important -
Push up, back and buy,
, some 
and a 
(BUY WARDS!!!!) (This is minimum depending on your CS, get more if you can.) -
Ask the jungler to gank when Yasuo pushed the lane when he returns, (again written in the, "How to play Yasuo - Guide to free elo, Wood V - Gold 1 edition". Because he will push. If you kill him, congratulations, unless some one feeds Yasuo a kill or two, you now don't have to worry about him any more. and you're on your way to being fed and carrying the game.
Now i know that stuff happens in lane sometimes, and this won't always work. But i can say in experience, it works about 70% of the time. Because most people don't know how Xerath's kit works, it works pretty well.
This is my strategy, meaning that it works for me, it might not work for everyone.
just trying to help some people out.. If i help one person, then I've done my job. Have a solid day :D
