How to beat Yasuo

Common role: Mid / Top

A mobile melee skirmisher who snowballs off kills and windwalls your key ability.

What makes Yasuo dangerous

Yasuo dashes through minions with his Q-tornado wind-up and E, and his Wind Wall (W) blocks all incoming projectiles. He is weak early but becomes a terror once he has two items and enough crit. His whole gameplan is stacking kills and knocking you up to combo his ultimate.

How to play against Yasuo

• 1Bait his Wind Wall before you commit — don't throw your important skillshot into it. Once W is on cooldown (~25s early), you have a long window to poke and all-in.
• 2Punish him for last-hitting: every time he dashes onto a minion he is out of position. Trade when he uses E to farm, not when his Q is stacked.
• 3Never fight while he has knock-up available (his own Q3 or an ally's CC) — that's the trigger for his ultimate. Space so his tornado can't reach you.
• 4Deny his snowball: he is one of the weakest champions in the game when behind. Play safe early, take CS, and he falls off relative to the enemy team.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Very weak first few levels and when behind.
• ✓No hard CC of his own — needs a knock-up to combo.
• ✓Windwall has a long cooldown; once it's down he's exposed.
• ✓Squishy — burst or lock him down and he dies fast.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Yasuo's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Estilo do Errante

  A Chance de Acerto Crítico do Yasuo é aumentada. Além disso, Yasuo vai gerando um Escudo sempre que se movimenta. O Escudo é ativado quando Yasuo sofre dano de um Campeão ou monstro.

• Q
  Tempestade de Aço

  Golpeia à frente, causando dano a todos os inimigos em linha reta.Ao contato, Tempestade de Aço concede um acúmulo de Tempestade Crescente por alguns segundos. Com 2 acúmulos, Tempestade de Aço desfere um tornado que arremessa inimigos ao ar.Tempestade de Aço é tratada como ataque básico e escala com as mesmas coisas.

  Strong: pokes and, at 2 stacks, becomes a knock-up. Weak: short range and telegraphed wind-up — sidestep the tornado and punish when it's not stacked.

• W
  Parede de Vento

  Cria uma parede movediça que bloqueia todos os projéteis inimigos por 4 segundos.

  Strong: Wind Wall blocks every projectile, negating ranged poke and ults. Weak: long cooldown and fixed width — bait it out, then all-in while it's down.

• E
  Espada Ágil

  Avança e atravessa o inimigo-alvo, causando Dano Mágico. Cada conjuração aumenta o dano do próximo avanço, até um limite máximo.Não pode ser conjurada novamente no mesmo inimigo por alguns segundos.Se Tempestade de Aço for conjurada durante o avanço, o Ataque será circular.

  Strong: dashes through minions for mobility and resets on new targets. Weak: can't dash to the same unit twice for a few seconds — catch him mid-dash with CC.

• R
  Último Suspiro

  Teletransporta-se para um Campeão inimigo arremessado ao ar, causando Dano Físico e mantendo no ar todos os inimigos da área que foram arremessados ao ar. Concede o máximo de Fluxo, mas zera todos os acúmulos de Tempestade CrescentePor um período moderado a seguir, os Acertos Críticos de Yasuo recebem Penetração de Armadura adicional significativa.

  Strong: teleports to any airborne enemy for burst and armor shred. Weak: needs a knock-up to activate — deny knock-ups and his ult is dead.

Itemization

As an auto-attack/crit carry, armor and attack-speed slows hurt him most: Plated Steelcaps, Frozen Heart, Randuin's Omen. Bruisers can build Thornmail. Ranged laners just need to respect his all-in windows.
