How to play it

Save your stun
Hold your stun until he tries to go in: stun him randomly and a good Yasuo just dashes in with E and runs you down.
Run at him post-6
Once you have an item and your core, you have the all-in advantage: run at him with R and one-shot him over and over.
Max W
his Wind Wall blocks your Q and autos but not your W active or your E + R damage.
Never throw your stun out randomly: if you waste it, a good Yasuo dashes in and runs you down.
