How to win lane as Ornn against Yasuo · 53.07% win rate over 2,900 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Yasuo is weak level 1, but so are you — no shield, no combo, mana-hungry — so nobody owns it; just farm. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | His dash-through-minions lets him dodge a level-2 Q, and you still have no W shield to trade back, so it stays even. |
| Level 3 | Ornn | W (Bellows Breath) comes online and pokes him for percent-HP through his Windwall while applying Brittle — your first real edge. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ornn | A second combo point lets E-into-Q-pillar knock him up when he dashes in, and Windwall cannot block a knock-up. |
| Level 6 | Ornn | R double knock-up plus E-Q sets up a self-comboed all-in his dashes and Windwall can't deny — your peak. |
| First item | Ornn | Your Heartsteel/Sunfire spike makes you a durable W-poke bully before his crit items reclaim the duel. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | At 2+ crit items his Infinity Edge DPS and double-dash kite shred your armor stacking and out-duel you — give him the late game. |
Yasuo is a weak laner before items, but so are you at Levels 1-2 — no shield, no combo, mana-starved, so just farm and don't throw a Q he can dash-cancel through the wave. The key fact about this lane: his Windwall (W) blocks projectiles, but your W (Bellows Breath) is a point-blank exhale, not a projectile, so it pokes him for percent-HP and applies Brittle right through his only defensive tool. At Level 3 you stabilize hard — W-poke when he steps to last-hit and back off before his crit-stacked autos add up.
