Based on 148 recent matches analyzed, Xerath wins with a 51.4% win rate compared to Yasuo's 48.6%, giving Xerath a 2.7 percentage point advantage. Xerath holds a slight edge in both the early and late game, but the margins are thin enough that individual skill and jungle attention will often determine the outcome.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
