The Irelia versus Yasuo matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Irelia deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Yasuo deals mainly physical damage (86.52%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Irelia is higher farming statistics (ranked 14th among role champions) (versus 28th for Yasuo), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Irelia player to maintain constant pressure on Yasuo, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
