Champion Portrait of Yasuo
Yasuo
Hard
55954%+84+58In general, you want to play for short trades early game while Yasuo wins extended trades. If you ever see Yasuo use Q to CS, you should go for punish with Q passive auto. To prevent Yasuo from being slippery, use your E when he uses E on you, then passive auto him. When Yasuo E's away, recast your E to stick onto him. Keep in mind you can sidestep his Q's when in melee range and it will make or break the 1v1's. Post 6, you should be able to burst Yasuo down but watch out for windwall.
