Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ziggs.
This is Yasuo's own plan; across 903 pooled games the lane is leaning Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Level 1 is Ziggs' — his Bouncing Bomb out-ranges you before your E is online. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | At 2 you gain E and immediately gap-close past his poke to turn the lane. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | At 3 your dash off minions plus Wind Wall shut down his Q zoning. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 stay yours as you punish every Q cooldown and bait his W. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 his R is global waveclear, useless in the duel you dictate. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item crit makes your Wind Wall-and-dash all-in lethal on him. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Late your mobility and Wind Wall negate his ranged kit in every skirmish. |
Ziggs edges level 1 — before you have E you can't reach him, and his Bouncing Bomb (Q) out-ranges every tool you have, so he pokes you while you last-hit. Play safe, block a Q with Wind Wall if he steps up, and just farm to level 2-3. Don't walk into his W Satchel while your dash is unavailable.
