Track: Orianna's R — Command: Shockwave (110–80s cooldown). The fight-flipping wombo — track the ball position like a second enemy.
Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Orianna.
This is Yasuo's own plan; across 5,253 pooled games the lane is leaning Yasuo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1: Orianna's poke is real but slow; Yasuo's flowing shield and safe farming keep him even, edging Yasuo. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2: Yasuo's trade threat with two abilities begins to outweigh Orianna's ball harass. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3: E + Q let Yasuo weave through minions and dodge the predictable ball, a clear mobility gap. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4-5: Wind Wall negates the Q ball entirely, stripping Orianna's core poke and combo delivery. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | First item: Yasuo's crit spike plus Q3 knock-up into R kills Orianna before her ball can peel. |
| First item | Even / skill | Mid game: Yasuo's dive pressure and W protection outclass Orianna's spacing-dependent damage. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game: Yasuo flanks to Wind Wall or E out of Shockwave, then ults the immobile Orianna in fights. |
Orianna's ball poke is strong but slow and predictable, so once Yasuo has E at level 3 he weaves through minions to close on her. Respect her level 1-2 zoning while last-hitting, then look to punish when her ball is out of position. Wind Wall completely negates her Q ball as a poke tool. Track Command: Shockwave: 110s at rank 1, 80s at rank 3 — it detonates at the ball, so Wind Wall cannot answer it; track the ball, not her.
