Yasuo mid questions

Banuvan··1 votes·846 views

So, i've been having fun playing yasuo but i'm not using him completely. My biggest questions and struggles right now are:

When dealing with a ranged champ like ahri or lisandra or syndra how do you handle them? I have gone both aggressive and passive against them yet it still ends up i lose most trades with them. It could just be a skill difference with the champ but it seems like I see others handling these situations much better.

Is there a streamer who primarily uses yasuo to watch? I'm not a big fan of watching streams but I do occasionally when I want to start getting more in depth with a champion.

When do you usually roam? I've been roaming as much as I can as long as i'm not in danger of losing my tower/too much CS but it seems that it's fairly hard to setup ganks with yasuo. Especially if there is no other knockups on the team.

Skill order - I've been going R-Q-E-W as far as priority goes and last game I didn't put a point into windwall at all until I was forced to because I was against a cho and their jungle sej wasn't ganking much at all.

When do you start being very aggressive? When i've faced yasuo's mid it seems usually around level 3-4 and i've been working on getting more aggressive. I played mostly bot lane last season mostly and CS was the name of the game so playing a solo lane is something new for me.

Start E and go aggressive level one. E to a minion near them, auto, E the champion, then auto them back to their turret. Most AP casters can't match your auto damage and if they hang around you can ignite and get the kill. That will give you an early HP lead and make them have to play more passively. Once you've finished your harass combo, E back to a minion to get out of their range.

Usually my skill order is: E > Q >W > E > Max Q > Level ult whenever you can.

A second point in E helps a ton in last hitting and harass and is way more noticeable than an early extra point in Q. As far as wind walling, you just have to have good reactions and try to wind wall on reaction to their harass spells. You can also use it after you harass them to cover your ass while you retreat to prevent them trading with you.

Lastly always make sure you charge your flow bar before going to harass or trade. It adds up. Also, consider starting longsword and pots if you feel like you're taking too much damage in lane.

And then they sit in their minion wave with 6 minions attacking you and you lose

Yasuo is a lane bully against most of the champs in mid. You should be aggressive from the start--just watch out for the enemies' minion wave.

Yasuo does a lot of damage. He can cheese most of the midlaners.

I've gotten way more aggressive and it's worked wonders for me. Sometimes a bit too aggressive but that comes with learning. The tips have helped folks. Thanks again.
