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.

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.
