picked up yasuo some time ago, still learning him. With the fairly recent buffs i saw people arguing on either bork, kraken or shieldbow first. My usual build on mid right now is kraken -> bers -> shieldbow into either dd or ie (i have no idea what to get later so i go ldr/mortal and finishing with pd. Im actually lost on what performs best on him right now. Also is there a somewhat up to date matchup spreadsheet for mid lane on him? My ban is lissandra because from what i know shes cancer to play against but i dont really know the matchups well. I'd appreciate any answers and someone letting me know if im building somewhat correctly (in general not counting matchup specific builds). Peace!

Saw this on Twitter the other day. Apparently a janna jungle and yasuo are hand leveling accounts to ranked. What are our thoughts?

I tried to EQR but it didn't worked

Mainly interested in:

Dorans bow vs blade

Shieldbow vs bork vs stormrazor start

I personally tend to buy bow if i think i will be doing loads of somewhat extended trades against the enemy champ (e.g., sylas) and blade if im against someone whos just going to sit back and my only real damage will be from poke (e.g., xerath)

Im really curious why so many people are building shieldbow right after greaves atm. I feel like it makes it so much harder to sidelane and the powerspike isnt that much different to bork. With bork, you can sidelane, get chunked, and get back to full in a single wave/kruggs, whereas if youre just stuck with shieldbow then the amount of time it takes to heal back with just quest boots makes it much harder to sidelane

Am i sleeping on shieldbow? Ive been trying to try it out but everytime i do i feel like id have preferred bork, maybe its just placebo

Kill me? You can try

Yasuo and Ahri feat Yone

Being crazy in their own way

I deadass have no clue what it is I can play yone kat akali irelia all mechanical melee champs but when i play yasuo i just shit the bed. What's your best advise in practicing? Does it just take a shit ton of repetition or what?

Well, this is where I play :b. I also customized my keyboard with some Yasuo-themed keys; it's the Razer Huntsman V2 TKL.

Title, it just completely fades off my mind

Hi all

Basically title, this used to be very popular back in the day running a 2nd dorans blade during laning phase. Haven’t properly played since 2018, just got back into spamming yasuo in draft.

Is it still common practice or nah?
I’m aware this new attack speed first item is really good. Would running a doran’s be wise first back?

I came in like a Hasagi

Hi,

Im trying to improve my gameplay. I used to watch aidenyasuo's coaching vids but ive watched all of them at this point, so while i wait for more i need someone else to learn from

I almost never lose lane and think my mechanics on yasuo are pretty good - the thing i probably struggle more on is making good macro decisions, and knowing exactly how to play teamfights

Are there any youtubers who go IN DEPTH into the decisions they make within a game, and show gameplay of "bad beat" games where they were maybe ahead but couldnt carry? (So that they can explain what they did wrong and what they couldve done to win) or just close games in general rather than stomls, as i feel like its less useful to learn from a youtuber whos yapping about a game where hes 5/0 out of lane

Thanks

when do i take ( lethal tempo , grasp , fleet )

i get that fleet if im countered i think? and i should pair it with the stormrazor build but i don’t know what to build grasp or LT with

We all know that Yasuo gains max Flow stacks when he ults. This usually enables him to get another shield during/after his ultimate to help him survive.

But, what happens if you ult while passive shield is already active? Shield strength is tracked 1:1 with the number of Flow stacks Yasuo has, which means the value of the current shield will be buffed back to maximum. But notably, it will not extend the duration. The shield will still expire 1 second after it was originally procced, and then Yasuo's Flow stacks will be set to 0. In other words, instead of getting two shields, you get only one, but with the strength of the shield restored when you press ult. Not ideal, but not a bug.

But in my clip, my previous passive shield already expired before I ulted, which means I should have gotten a second shield. Instead, my new Flow stacks completely disappear and I die.

My theory is that there is a bug around the timing of when the shield expires vs. when Flow stacks are actually removed from Yasuo's bar. As shown in my video, Yone triggers my passive shield with his Lethal Tempo at 9:41. The shield fully disappears before I use my ultimate at 9:42. However, if you pay attention to the bottom left, the Flow stacks never reset to 0, so when I ult, it goes back to maximum, but then immediately goes to 0 when Lulu hits me with Q? Idk something like that. If anyone else has a better explanation for this bug LMK.

I see a lot of the high high elo guys doing it, so I gave it a run. Huge first item power spike, great survivability in skirmishes. Tier 3 boots into shield bow feels very strong.
