| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even - both of you farm with no committed all-in. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | You own level 2 with Steel Tempest range and early Wind Wall denial. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | At 3 Wind Wall plus E mobility fully controls the trade tempo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as he stabilises farm and you both play cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even - his R Final Retribution answers your knockup all-in if he holds it. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item is yours: the crit spike and shield passive out-trade him. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Two items in your mobility and Wind Wall keep you ahead as the pick threat. |
Level 1 is a farm-off with no committed all-in from either side, then you take charge: at 2 Steel Tempest's range and an early Wind Wall deny his entire Q Darkin Glaive game, and by 3 your E mobility controls the trade tempo completely - he only touches you when you make a mistake.
