Yasuo vs Caitlyn Matchup Summary

The Yasuo vs Caitlyn matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 86 recent matches analyzed, Yasuo wins with a 53.5% win rate compared to Caitlyn's 46.5%, giving Yasuo a 7.0 percentage point advantage. Yasuo dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Caitlyn players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Yasuo leads by 780 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Yasuo players can confidently pick into Caitlyn and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Caitlyn away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Sustain
