How We Analyze Our Counter Yasuo Data

We analyze millions of League of Legends games each week, pulled directly from Riot Games, to determine the best and worst Yasuo counters. At this moment, our detailed counter Yasuo data is based on 182,607 recent games and will show you which champions have the highest and lowest win rates against him.

Yasuo Counters Summary

In the selected middle lane, Yasuo does very well against Akshan and Hwei, with win rates of 55.3% and 55.2%, respectively. He make a top tier counter pick to both champs. Yet, he is a poor matchup in middle lane against Kennen and Swain. You should be careful about taking Yasuo into either of these two champions.

Yasuo Counters Summary (Continued)

The best champions outside of lane to counter Yasuo include Ezreal, Kai'Sa, and Zeri. These are all great at countering Yasuo with decent win rates over 55%. Even if these Yasuo counter picks are not chosen in the same position as you, it's not smart to choose him into these matchups. They will usually crush Yasuo.

Conversely, if the opposing team choses either Rammus or Lillia, you should seriously consider taking him, as he easily destroys these champions with win rates over 54% against each ofthem.

How to Counter Yasuo

A key weakness of Yasuo is his susceptibility to crowd control (CC) which can interrupt his strategic use of the E dash. Preventing him from casting his E for a while could catch him out of position and make him an easier target.

Yasuo relies on his W windwall to save himself from damage in ranged match-ups. Baiting him into a wrong use of this skill and maintaining your distance when this is on cooldown can help turn the tide in your favor.

Yasuo can be particularly threatening when the enemy is pushed up, and a new minion wave approaches. This allows him to catch up using his E and then knock them up with his Q. Avoid pushing up your minion wave and try to freeze the lane closer to your turret to limit his opportunities.

Notably, Yasuo's power spikes occur at levels 6, 9, 11, and 16, where he gains significant advantages through his skills and items. Paying attention to when he reaches these levels and avoiding direct confrontations at these points can help you stay alive.

In the late game, take note when Yasuo is missing from the map. He may be attempting to ambush isolated targets. Ensuring vision control and staying grouped with your team can help prevent him from picking off individual members.

Yasuo is especially dangerous post-six due to his Ultimate R crowd control and bonus armor penetration. Try to keep track of his ultimate's cooldown, avoid clustering together to minimise his ultimate's impact, and do not underestimate him even if he is behind in lane.

Although powerful, Yasuo is very squishy and can easily be burst down if caught out of position. Keep an eye on when he may be overextending or pushing sidelanes. Capitalise on such moments to secure a kill and turn the game in your favor.
