Blame everyone except for you, go 1v5 and blame your team for not helping. Edit: Also say ks everytime you get an assist.

Ok, but anything for real? <3

Make sure your build has item 3072 item 3046 item 3031 item 3053 (not in that order)

Is tri force late game any good?

S0kaXJan 24, 20171 votes

Depends on the situations.

Ramen Is FireJan 24, 20171 votes

So what should my stranded build be after the first three core items (and boots)

S0kaXJan 24, 20171 votes

I would say item 3026 and item 3071 or another penetration item.

I dont really like GA (three minute cool down is alot if the game goes long) and would item 3033 be a good armor pen item? some times i take and item 3812

S0kaXJan 24, 20171 votes

GA is also good for the stats it gives. Also the pen items depend on the situation, if the enemies have a lot of life steal take item 3033 , if they have tanks get item 3036

Ramen Is FireJan 24, 20171 votes

Ok, cool, I also take item 3033 if they have a Soraka or DrMundo correct?

S0kaXJan 24, 20171 votes

yep

One last thing, I know Yasuo ult interacts with the placement of your mouse and how late you use it (such as when i use it early and don't use it on the second person it knocked up) and i'm really having problems with that. I really want to know how your mouse interacts with your ult and how to no use it so early. Anything that can help?

S0kaXJan 24, 20171 votes

Not really, I don't know about the ult interaction tho.

Ramen Is FireJan 24, 20171 votes

Alright, well I dont mean to keep you. Thanks for all your help!

S0kaXJan 24, 20171 votes

No problem

if you wanna do a e q flash combo, literally do it in order

e q and then flash the place you want to flash to... (Obviously...)

Ramen Is FireJan 24, 20171 votes

Ok, but how do i make the tornado hit both the minion and enemy champion. I just have a hard time doing that and seeing how it works.

ned the kledJan 24, 20171 votes

you mean in the e tornado q flash combo? or only the tornado q?

Ramen Is FireJan 24, 20171 votes

E-Q-flash combo

ned the kledJan 25, 20171 votes

Well, that depends on the lining, and where the enemies are, and if they are close to some minions

i would say it is 20% you will hit some minions with the champs

A beginners mistake is they try to spam q. Yes, it has a super low cool down, but it's not instant. Make sure you use your autos effectively since they are a large portion of your damage after items.

Ramen Is FireJan 24, 20171 votes

Ok, should i also practice canceling/resetting my auto attacks with Q?

Go onto https://www.reddit.com/r/YasuoMains/ and ask there.

There are tons of trick and tips videos on Youtube about all his nifty tricks, me being a Yas and Kata main, i have learned all of them. The most useful trick you need to learn, is how to E,Q Flash tornado knock them up. It's nearly unavoidable.

Another nifty trick is to cancel your tornado throw animation, by windwalling at the same time. Say you go against AP Varus, and he tries to ult you, but u have a nado up, block that ult and Q at the same time. IT will cancel the "throwing" animation, and the nado will just fly out. Really hard to avoid if they try to all in you.

When trading in lane, always stack your E first by dashing to some minions, but leave an escape minion after the trade to again start it up. Your best chance of winning will come level 2, where you should be able to get first blood.

For your build i suggest item 3046 item 3031 item 3072 , those will be your main items. Tri force is really a waste of gold, i wouldn't go for it since there are plenty of alternatives. Everything after that will be situational, if they have heals, you need a mortal reminder. If they have a lot of AP, go for a Spirit Visage, it will give you extra heals, more life, MR, and CDR for your windwall. ETC ETC.

Your windwall gives you sight, use it to gain vision through a wall without using a ward. You can also dash through walls if angled correctly with a JG monster or minion or champion.

Also, if you want the most damage possible when trading, be sure to "weave" auto attacks with Q. As in Auto, Q, auto. You will get so much more damage by canceling animations just like on any other champ.

You can windwall while ulting, if your going to try a risky flashy play, remember that, but don't be that Yas that goes in 1v5 and dies blaming the team for not following up under the turret xD.

This is a VERY BRIEF summary of some of his more useful tips, definitely go look up some videos on youtube.

Ramen Is FireJan 25, 20171 votes

Wow! Thanks. There is alot of stuff I didnt know, such as the windwall give sight and all. You can wind wall while in your ult? The only thing I dont really know how to do is the dashing through jungle mosters to get through walls. I know how to do it on gromp but that's it. Thanks

Ramen Is FireJan 25, 20171 votes

Do you think you can link me some videos about dashing and some other tricks you are talking about please?

JustMonika13Jan 25, 20171 votes

If you start Q, gain a charge on chickens when minions begin to spawn to have 3rd Q ready sooner.

Practice your wall-dashing in the jungle to make up for your lack of mobility in the jungle. I've found Gromp-in jungle dash to be the hardest for me.

Use your W to cancel your Q animation if you see it needed.

Don't spam your dashes. Yes the dash itself is low cooldown, but the on-target cooldown is not; don't mindlessly dash around. You might just waste all your dashes if you need to escape.

E-Q-Flash in that order is a good combo. Useful to catch people off guard, of course, don't do it without analyzing the risks, as you're using Flash.

If you start E, make sure the enemy laner uses whichever skill they start before jumping in to barrage them with autos. If you get aggressive with your dashing before they use their one skill, you might just get killed.

Very good tip about the raptors and Q. Ill be sure to put that one into practice. Thanks!
