Who Wins the Yasuo vs Garen Matchup?
Yasuo vs Garen Matchup Summary
The Yasuo vs Garen matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 128 recent matches analyzed, Yasuo wins with a 54.7% win rate compared to Garen's 45.3%, giving Yasuo a 9.4 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Garen controls the early laning stage, but Yasuo outscales as the game goes longer.
