Darius vs Yasuo Matchup Summary

The Darius vs Yasuo matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 63 recent matches analyzed, Darius wins with a 54.0% win rate compared to Yasuo's 46.0%, giving Darius a 7.9 percentage point advantage. Darius dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Yasuo players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Darius leads by 606 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Darius players can confidently pick into Yasuo and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Yasuo away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
947Darius
728Yasuo
Darius heavily out-damages Yasuo by 219 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Yasuo should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Darius's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
13,812Darius
11,613Yasuo
Darius generates a commanding 2,200 more gold per game than Yasuo. This substantial economic advantage means Darius consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Yasuo should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
0.9Darius
0.7Yasuo
Both Darius and Yasuo provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.2s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Sustain
1,804Darius
1,198Yasuo
Darius vastly out-sustains Yasuo, healing and mitigating 606 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Darius can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Yasuo is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Yasuo, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
