r/YasuoMains

Legit

I’ve been playing Yasuo for a few months and recently reached Gold for the first time after playing both Yasuo and Vladimir. Since then, I’ve mostly played Yasuo. I die less often early, but I still struggle to carry consistently. I know I make plenty of mistakes, so I’m trying to learn from them instead of blaming my teammates.

I’m not giving up, though. I enjoy improving, even when I’m stuck.

For those who climbed with Yasuo: What was your journey like, and how long did it take to reach your current rank? Did you improve mostly through playing, or did you actively review replays and focus on your mistakes? When did your game knowledge start catching up with your mechanics?

I’d especially like to hear from anyone who remembers being around Gold or Plat and eventually climbing higher.

What can be even done about this champion? I have put a lot of time into hard matchups but pantheon is not as common and incredibly hard to play against.

Would love to get some expert advice. I think I tried my best vs him even though I went 3/14 (he is challenger 2500 lp). I was able to get quick trades around his cooldown and using e to dash in and out. I understand champions like Shen and pantheon don't spike hard at level 6 and is my time to shine but I was already 0/2 and he was lvl 7 by the time I got ult. I also had success dodging a lot of his short q which is very fast but didn't influence lane much

Do you think exhaust or unflinching could do good in this lane? I went standard as I wasn't thinking much before the game with shield bash and bone platting.

I feel like i lose this if i dont kill him lvl 2. because after lvl 3 or 4 its so fucking annoying to get any trades off him and he scales so hard he is oppressive even before the end of laning phase.

Just what are you supposed to do in this matchup?
