Yasuo vs Nocturne Matchup Summary

The Yasuo vs Nocturne matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Yasuo wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Nocturne's 40.0%, giving Yasuo a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Yasuo dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Nocturne players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

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

5.1Yasuo
4.2Nocturne
Yasuo significantly out-farms Nocturne by 1.0 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 15 CS lead by mid game.

Damage
611Yasuo
983Nocturne
Nocturne heavily out-damages Yasuo by 372 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Yasuo should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Nocturne's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
9,803Yasuo
11,336Nocturne
Nocturne generates a commanding 1,533 more gold per game than Yasuo. This substantial economic advantage means Nocturne consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Yasuo should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
0.7Yasuo
6.2Nocturne
Nocturne brings significantly more crowd control than Yasuo, with 5.5 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nocturne far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Yasuo should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,622Yasuo
1,297Nocturne
Yasuo vastly out-sustains Nocturne, healing and mitigating 325 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Yasuo can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Nocturne is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Nocturne, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
