Yasuo Counter for Mid

Patch 12.22

Yasuo's want to make highlight plays. They will abuse their mobility to look flashy. You can counter Yasuo by waiting for him to dash himself out of position.

When Yasuo has his tornado charged up on his , force him to decide between using it to poke you or to waveclear. You counter Yasuo's ability to push waves if he uses the tornado to poke you, especially if you can dodge it.

Yasuo is countered by Ninja Tabis. Grabbing an early Ninja Tabis can help you dodge his tornados, walk away when he has Conqueror stacked up, and negate his physical damage.

Yasuo is very mobile when there is a wave to through. Without a wave, he is easy to gank. But be careful to not stand behind him and give him a target to through to escape.

Yasuo wants to trade when his passive shield is up. He can E through the wave to get to you, auto, , trade and then E back to safety and tank your damage with his shield.

Take Exhaust to counter Yasuo. This is the best Summoner Spell in late game teamfights to slow him down and prevent him from pentakilling your entire team. Once exhausted, he is much easier to burst.
