Locke vs Yasuo Matchup Summary
The Locke vs Yasuo matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 106 recent matches analyzed, Locke wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Yasuo's 50.0%, giving Locke a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Locke controls the early laning stage, but Yasuo outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Locke needs to press advantages before Yasuo reaches their power spikes, while Yasuo should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Yasuo leads by 0.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Locke has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Yasuo's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Locke46.1%Yasuo53.9%Locke dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 53.7% win rate — a 7.4 percentage point lead over Yasuo. This lopsided early game means Locke can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.
Yasuo is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 53.9% win rate — 7.7 points above Locke. Extended games heavily favor Yasuo, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.
This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Locke must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Yasuo reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Yasuo survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
