How to win lane as Vladimir against Yasuo · 54.36% win rate over 1,295 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vladimir | Level 1 favours you: your ranged Q pokes freely while Yasuo has no dash to answer. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as Yasuo picks up EQ and starts trading through minions. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays a skill lane where his Sweeping Blade mobility offsets your poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 tilt Yasuo: with Q stacked and Blade up he dictates all-ins when your Pool is down. |
| Level 6 | Vladimir | Level 6 favours you as Hemoplague and Sanguine Pool let you survive his burst. |
| First item | Yasuo | At first item Yasuo's crit spike gives him one clean all-in window when your Pool is on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | With two-plus items your AP scaling and Hemoplague teamfighting outclass his single-target dive. |
At Level 1-2 you win the tempo: your ranged Transfusion pokes free while Yasuo has no dash and must walk into E range, so chunk him before he stacks Q.
