i got destroyed by a yasuo main in my other account. i blanked out. i didnt know what happend. its like what ever i do, he does something else more threatening. i try to move away from minions so he doesnt have too much to dash on, he just hard shoves the lane to take tower. i try to go up against him, he literally shreds through me like im nothing, i try to 2v1 him, he just has so much damage at all stages of the game he beats us. ik youre supposed to let him take the farm and not to fight him, but, that just doesnt help. hes strong at all points of the game and i just dont understadn why that is. what ever you do, you just get punished for it, wether it be playing safe or askin for gank or playing aggressive. Pls, can someone tell me how to go up against him, what to do early mid late, how to beat him, what champions can out duel him (probably no one), itemization. Please, literally tell me everything about him from first item to buy to what champions can outduel him late game. I will literally read a whole novel about beating yasuo if i have too. Thank you (sorry for bad english also) :,( [zombie-nunu-tears]

If you're willing to go a bit out-of-meta, Darius absolutely shits on Yasuo. Maybe get top to laneswap with you?

For pure safety, Malzahar is a good choice as long as you can comfortably cs with him. Ahri can farm safely as well, and can match his mobility in the early game. Ahri also becomes quite a bit safer after 6. For obvious reasons, try not to pick a champion that relies too heavily on a single important skillshot. This means no Morgana, no Vel'Koz, no TF, no Lux, etc. Not only will Windwall fuck you over, but his constant dashing will make things far harder than they need to be.

Unless you plan to play a Juggernaut or something who just slam into Yasuo's face and beat him into submission, otherwise for most champs especially ranged (Malz is exempted; as Malz has no projectiles at all together with his DoT based wave-clear/damage and the shut-down R button make him the #1 counter to Yasuo) you can basically just forget winning lane altogether.

But even then, the Juggernaut approach damps its effectiveness severely post-6.

Yasuo's as a design is just a lot of bad decisions put together. With a kit this extreme, he is basically only ever countered or that he beats you by default. Basically unless your champ hard-counter him, there isn't that much you can do against his overall obnoxious kit.

You kind of just learn to deal with his BS eventually and play safe while waiting for jungler if your champ isn't that hot on hard-countering him.

.....

Or, just ban him.
