Malphite vs Yasuo Matchup Summary

The Malphite vs Yasuo matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 113 recent matches analyzed, Malphite wins with a 52.2% win rate compared to Yasuo's 47.8%, giving Malphite a 4.4 percentage point advantage. Malphite 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 Malphite leads by 678 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Malphite 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.

711Malphite
786Yasuo

Utility
1.1Malphite
1.1Yasuo
Both Malphite and Yasuo provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.0s/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
2,060Malphite

Malphite dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 55.1% win rate — a 10.2 percentage point lead over Yasuo. This lopsided early game means Malphite can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Malphite at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Yasuo. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

Malphite holds the advantage at every stage of the game, making this a consistently favorable matchup from lane through late game team fights. Yasuo players should look for outplays, team-dependent strategies, and picks rather than relying on scaling to win this matchup.
