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
Avarenin YoluYasuo'nun kritik vuruş ihtimali artar. Ayrıca Yasuo, hareket ederken bir yandan da kalkan oluşturur. Bir şampiyondan ya da canavardan hasar aldığında, kalkan devreye girer.
Q
Çelik Fırtınaİleri fırlayarak bir hat üstündeki tüm rakiplere hasar verir.İsabet halinde, birkaç saniyeliğine bir Yaklaşan Kasırga yükü verir. 2 yük biriktiğinde, Çelik Fırtına'nın yolladığı hortum havaya savurur.Çelik Fırtına normal saldırı muamelesi görür ve normal saldırıları güçlendiren her şeyle birlikte güçlenir.
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
Rüzgâr DuvarıOluşturduğu hareketli duvar, 4 saniyeliğine rakiplerden gelen tüm atışları engeller.
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
Atılgan KılıçHedef rakibi deşip geçerek ona büyü hasarı verir. Yeteneğin her kullanımı sonraki atılmanın hasarını belli bir miktara kadar arttırır.Aynı rakip üstünde birkaç saniye boyunca yeniden kullanılamaz.Çelik Fırtına yeteneği atılma esnasında kullanılırsa daire biçiminde bir alana isabet eder.
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
Son NefesHavadaki bir rakip şampiyonun yanında belirerek ona fiziksel hasar verir ve bölgede bulunan tüm havadaki rakipleri havada tutar. Azami Akış verir ama Yaklaşan Kasırga'nın tüm yüklerini sıfırlar.Bunun ardından, Yasuo'nun kritik vuruşları ortalama bir süre boyunca önemli miktarda ilave zırh delme elde eder.
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.
