Champion Portrait of Yasuo
Yasuo
Very Hard
32051%+15-248In general, you want to play for short trades early game while Yasuo wins extended trades. If you ever see Yasuo use Q to CS, you should go for punish with Q passive auto. To prevent Yasuo from being slippery, use your E when he uses E on you, then passive auto him. When Yasuo E's away, recast your E to stick onto him. Keep in mind you can sidestep his Q's when in melee range and it will make or break the 1v1's. Post 6, you should be able to burst Yasuo down but watch out for windwall.

Champion Portrait of Yone
Yone
Easy
21158%+566+673Easy matchup since Yone tornado Q telegraphs his location making it simple to land your E on him. Yone W you can wait out with shroud or space it. Your E just counters Yone Q making it easy. Do not get caught out without your shroud or E up. Yone's only chance to beat you is when you don't have spells or energy up. Even with just your Q you can slow him down.
