Level 3YasuoLevel 3 you keep punishing him before his tankiness and Fling scaling arrive.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 Mega Adhesive grounds your dashes and the Fling that follows roots you in it.
Level 6Even / skillInsanity Potion at 6 makes him tankier than your all-in can kill.
First itemYasuoOn first item it's skill: he proxies and scales, so leads must convert to map pressure.
Two+ itemsEven / skillLate game is skill-dependent — his fling-dive disruption trades against your teamfight DPS.
