How to win lane as Locke against Yasuo · 50% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even as both farm the opening wave. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based before either has an all-in setup. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even around Windwall timing and E-dash trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a skill wash approaching your spike. |
| Level 6 | Locke | At 6 Locke wins the all-in — Yasuo needs a knock-up to ult and is squishy. |
| First item | Locke | First item still favors Locke against pre-crit, fragile Yasuo. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items evens out as crit and Windwall make Yasuo a scaling duelist. |
At 1-2 the lane is even; Yasuo shoves with Steel Tempest but is vulnerable when he dashes in, so preserve your key ability against Windwall and don't feed him E resets.
