When facing Yasuo's top counters like Yone, Ekko, Veigar, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize magic resistance items against AP threats or health-stacking items for general survivability in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Your core build provides strong damage output. Against tanky counter picks, consider penetration items or percentage-based damage from your situational options to maintain kill pressure. Adapt your final build slots with items like Guardian Angel or Blade of The Ruined King based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Yasuo performance.

How does MetaBot determine what the best Yasuo builds are?

MetaBot only counts Yasuo games that reached a completed build (boots plus at least three finished items), groups them by their three core items, and ranks the groups by a confidence-adjusted win rate (Wilson lower bound) so a build with a handful of lucky games cannot outrank a well-played one. A build is only presented as the highest win rate once it has at least 50 games and a tenth of Yasuo's build sample; otherwise the most-played build is shown.
