How to Use Yasuo Counter Data
Want to know which champions give Yasuo the most trouble? The figures below come from ranked Mid role games as they’re being played now, not from opinion-based tier lists. At the moment, Poppy, Lissandra and Singed are the hardest lane matchups for Yasuo, where its win rate in the current dataset is lowest. Poppy is the strongest counter of the three: Yasuo wins just 39.8% of 211 logged games against her. Going the other way, Tristana, Varus and Gwen are matchups where Yasuo does well, so they’re safer champions to face.
Every card shows Yasuo’s win rate in that matchup and the number of games behind it. Larger samples deserve more trust: a pairing with tens of thousands of games is far more dependable than one with only a few hundred. The Easy, Even and Hard tags come directly from the win rate (under 48% reads as Hard, over 52% as Easy), so they serve as a quick guide rather than a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does.
