This is Camille's own plan; across 1,017 pooled games the lane is leaning Yasuo.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillEven at 1 — you have one ability and no all-in, and Steel Tempest plus a stacking Way of the Wanderer shield punish a step-up, so both farm.
Level 2CamilleYour second point comes online: the Hookshot knockup into Precision Protocol's true-damage hit out-trades a Yasuo whose Wind Wall can't block your melee kit.
Level 3CamilleQ-E-W lets you win every short trade — W's outer-edge max-HP slash and self-heal beat his poke before his crit or flow shield matter.
Levels 4-5CamilleYou out-duel a pre-crit Yasuo: bait the passive shield, E in for the stun, and recast Q for the true-damage hit while he's locked down.
Level 6CamilleThe Hextech Ultimatum isolates him in an arena a near-instant Sweeping Blade still can't leave — and as a leap, not a projectile, Wind Wall can't stop it.
First itemCamilleYour lethality/bruiser first item plus W's max-HP edge damage and heal still beats his single crit item — force the all-in before he gets a second.
Two+ itemsYasuoHe out-scales hard: at 2+ crit items his auto DPS and a 30s Last Breath off any knockup take over — play safe and let your lead carry the game.

How to beat Yasuo as Camille: the early game

Level 1 is genuinely even — you have one ability and no all-in, while his Q poke and stacking flow shield make a step-up costly, so just last-hit and don't feed his shield by letting him E through the minion wave for free. The moment you hit 2 it flips your way: E in for the stun, recast Q for the empowered true-damage hit, then W to slow and heal off him. Note the matchup quirk that decides this lane — Camille has zero projectiles, so his Windwall can't block your E, Q, or R; it's a defensive tool he wastes on your support's CC, not a wall you have to fear engaging into.
