Yasuo vs Caitlyn Matchup Summary

The Yasuo vs Caitlyn matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 102 recent matches analyzed, Yasuo wins with a 57.8% win rate compared to Caitlyn's 42.2%, giving Yasuo a 15.7 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 700 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.

Farming
6.6Yasuo
6.4Caitlyn
Yasuo and Caitlyn farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
792Yasuo
730Caitlyn
Yasuo deals 61 more champion damage per minute than Caitlyn. While noticeable in extended trades, this gap can be offset by Caitlyn choosing favorable fight windows, such as engaging when Yasuo's key abilities are on cooldown or trading immediately after dodging a skillshot.
Economy
13,477Yasuo

Utility
0.8Yasuo
0.7Caitlyn
Both Yasuo and Caitlyn provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.1s/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
1,267Yasuo
566Caitlyn
Yasuo vastly out-sustains Caitlyn, healing and mitigating 700 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Yasuo can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Caitlyn is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Caitlyn, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
