How to Beat Yasuo as Yorick (Top)

While statistically Yorick is slightly stronger than Yasuo in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Yorick deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Yasuo deals mainly physical damage (87.19%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Yasuo, ranking 1st (versus 15th for Yorick) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.5 versus 1.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yorick Top versus Yasuo Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yorick 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.

    Yorick tips:

    • You do not need to cast Awakening to regain the ability to cast Last Rites.
    • The Maiden will attempt to assist you in a fight, so choose your targets well.
    • You can send the Maiden down a lane alone, be careful though, as she represents a large portion of your combat power.

    Playing Against Yasuo

    • Steel Tempest is very narrow. Dodge laterally if possible.
    • When Yasuo lands two Steel Tempests in a row, his next will fire a tornado. Watch and listen for the associated sound to prepare to dodge.
    • Yasuo is at his weakest just after he has launched a whirlwind. Engage at that point.
    • Yasuo's shield from Resolve lasts only 2 seconds. Dealing damage to him will trigger it. Wait it out, then engage.
