Lane plan

Be careful of Yasuo’s Wind Wall (w) blocking Tides of Blood [E]. Dodge Steel Tempest (Q) when he closes in and focus on farming instead.

Lane tip from this patch's games, play even
  • Stormsurge

    You complete Stormsurge at ~12 min; Yasuo completes Immortal Shieldbow at ~13 min. You spike together.

  • Level 3: Yasuo's Wind Wall (W) is 25s, your Sanguine Pool (W) is 28s, so Yasuo is back first. Level 6: Yasuo's ultimate 70s, yours 120s.

  • Ignite

    Yasuo takes Flash + Ignite in 50.4% of games. You take Flash + Ghost (77.8%).
