Yasuo Mid matchup tips

  1. Yasuo vs Malzahar Mid - Nether Grasp(R) and Malefic Visions(E) are not projectiles for Wind Wall(W) to block, while Void Shift(P) can stop an initial airborne setup when its shield is active. Once that shield is gone, Yasuo can threaten to interrupt Nether Grasp with a stacked Steel Tempest(Q).
  2. Yasuo vs Sylas Mid - Yasuo counters Sylas because he completely dominates extended melee trades with continuous Steel Tempest and basic attacks once Sylas exhausts his ability cooldowns, while Wind Wall blocks Sylas's primary gap-closer and crowd control.
  3. Yasuo vs Lissandra Mid - Lissandra counters Yasuo because Ring of Frost and Frozen Tomb are non-projectiles that completely bypass Wind Wall, letting her root Yasuo mid-dash or stun him point-and-click to deny his Last Breath.
  4. Yasuo vs Viktor Mid - Viktor counters Yasuo because his Siphon Power empowered basic attack completely bypasses Wind Wall, while defensively placed Gravity Fields deny Yasuo's dashes and allow Viktor to kite and whittle him down from range.
  5. Yasuo vs Lux Mid - Yasuo counters Lux because Sweeping Blade allows him to close the distance through minion waves, while Wind Wall blocks her primary defensive snare and poke, leaving her immobile and helpless in melee range.
  6. Yasuo vs Diana Mid - Yasuo counters Diana because he dominates extended melee trades with manaless sustained damage once her burst rotation is spent, while Wind Wall blocks Crescent Strike to completely deny her Moonlight dash reset.
  7. Yasuo vs Twisted Fate Mid - Yasuo counters Twisted Fate because Sweeping Blade easily closes the gap through minions, while Wind Wall completely intercepts Pick a Card to delete Twisted Fate's Gold Card stun and leave him without self-peel.
  8. Yasuo vs Annie Mid - Track Annie's Pyromania stacks before dashing in. Wind Wall only helps against her Q projectile, so respect a ready stun from W or R and use the minion wave to approach on your terms.
  9. Yasuo vs Azir Mid - Azir holds a heavy advantage because his Sand Soldier basic attacks ignore Wind Wall completely, allowing Azir to strip Yasuo's shield and win trades from outside dash range while threatening an Emperor's Divide shuffle under tower if Yasuo dives.

How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
