Level 1, Yasuo is extremely strong. Never push into him early. Yasuo can also use the minions against you to gap close and zone you similar to Irelia. Do not allow Yasuo to crash the first 3 waves either where you might have to walk up to eat a little poke to reagro the minions. Avoid extended trades pre 4 where you lose. Avoid using W forwards most of the time, Wait for first back spike before you starting aggressively trading in the Yasuo matchup. If you know that Yasuo is going to E a minion, you know exactly where he's going to end up. You can W backwards > Q to the spot Yasuo is going to end up after E > Auto E quickly > instantly W back.

Be extra careful not to be in Ahri auto range as she can easily proc electrocute with her W. (when she does this the wave will push towards you so good early).
