How to win lane as LeBlanc against Yasuo · 52.43% win rate over 3,433 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | Yasuo's low damage without stacked crit at levels 1-2 lets your combo win most direct trades before his shield or crit chance ramps up |
| Level 2 | LeBlanc | Steel Tempest's telegraphed wind-up gives you a dodge window, keeping the level 1-2 trade in your favor |
| Level 3 | LeBlanc | The same low early damage still favors your all-in through levels 4-5 as long as his shield is down when you engage |
| Levels 4-5 | LeBlanc | At level 6 his Last Breath paired with a knockup ally threatens to burst you down first, and Wind Wall can block your key engage tool if timed well |
| Level 6 | LeBlanc | Shadowflame burst kills him again before his crit-scaling Steel Tempest starts hitting meaningfully harder |
| First item | Yasuo | Your combo still wins an isolated duel away from his setup even as his crit items and Last Breath scale into a teamfight threat |
| Two+ items | LeBlanc | In a straight 1v1 without his knockup partner, your burst still kills him first despite his growing late-game power |
You out-trade Yasuo in the 1-2 window since his damage without stacked crit is low and Steel Tempest's wind-up telegraphs your dodge — bait his wave clear pattern, then punish with E-Q once his shield is down. Most exchanges before level 3 favor your burst as long as you don't feed him easy Sweeping Blade resets on minions.
