How to play against Yasuo

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Pop passive shield with a light hit before spending important damage.
2. Keep the wave closer to your tower when your escape is down; low-health minions give him Q and E paths.
3. Track his Q3 before stepping into river; recalls and fog can hide the tornado.
4. Hold key projectiles until W is down, then punish its long downtime.
5. Deny knockup chains by spreading and saving peel for the teammate he follows with R.

Where Yasuo is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Yasuo relies on minion paths and knockup setup, so open space removes many of his safest angles.
• Yasuo's melee carry pattern needs repeated dashes, making hard CC and burst punish him before lifesteal matters.
