Yasuo vs Samira Matchup Summary

The Yasuo vs Samira matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 30 recent matches analyzed, Samira wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Yasuo's 40.0%, giving Samira a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Yasuo controls the early laning stage, but Samira outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Yasuo needs to press advantages before Samira reaches their power spikes, while Samira should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Yasuo leads by 0.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Samira has a strong advantage in this matchup. Yasuo players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Samira overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
943Yasuo
789Samira

13,621Yasuo

Utility
1.0Yasuo

Yasuo brings significantly more crowd control than Samira, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Yasuo far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Samira should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,252Yasuo
784Samira
Yasuo vastly out-sustains Samira, healing and mitigating 468 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Yasuo can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Samira is forced to recall.

Samira late game win rateSamira71.4%

The early game (first 15 minutes) is a toss-up between Yasuo and Samira, with Yasuo holding a razor-thin 50.0% win rate edge (+0.0%). Individual skill and jungle proximity will matter more than champion advantage in the early laning phase.

Samira is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 71.4% win rate — 42.9 points above Yasuo. Extended games heavily favor Samira, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Yasuo has the edge early, but Samira gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
