How to win lane as LeBlanc against Yasuo · 50.57% win rate (7,059 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
He survives your burst and owns the brawl — poke round-trips only, chain his gap-closer, and never attend round two.
Track: Yasuo's W — Wind Wall (25–17s cooldown). Blocks every projectile for its duration — hold your poke until it is spent.
Read from LeBlanc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
| 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 2 trade in your favor |
| Level 3 | LeBlanc | At level 3 Ethereal Chains punishes every Sweeping Blade dash — chain him as he lands and he eats the full string; Wind Wall is 25 seconds at rank 1 and can't block a tether already attached |
| Levels 4-5 | LeBlanc | Through levels 4-5 LeBlanc keeps winning trades as long as his Flow shield is down when she engages — poke it off with a Q, then commit the W |
| Level 6 | LeBlanc | At level 6 Last Breath needs a knock-up, and his own Steel Tempest tornado is telegraphed — sidestep it and LeBlanc's Mimic-doubled combo lands first |
| First item | Yasuo | First item is Yasuo's — a crit item turns Steel Tempest into real damage and his Flow shield eats the Sigil opener, so trade only when the shield is down |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 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. Track Wind Wall (W): 25s at rank 1, 17s at rank 5, up for 4 seconds — it eats Ethereal Chains outright, so chain only after it drops. Count it.
