Farm your way back: Yasuo's superior farming (6.60 vs 6.08/min, 35th among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.52 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Yasuo outputs more damage (775 vs 644/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
Except for rare builds, Yasuo deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Riven deals mainly physical damage (94.05%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Yasuo is higher farming statistics (ranked 35th among role champions) (versus 48th for Riven), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.9 versus 1.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Yasuo player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Riven player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
