Orianna vs Yasuo

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Orianna is a control mage with low early agency who must manage ball position to zone Yasuo and avoid his all-ins.
Use medium lane pressure to deny Yasuo easy access to minions for mobility and prevent him from stacking Yasuo Q freely.

Trading pattern

Use Q and W to poke from a distance, then shield with E to mitigate Yasuo's short trades.
Respect Yasuo's Yasuo E mobility and avoid trading when he can dash through minions for quick engages.
Capitalize on Yasuo's cooldowns, especially when Yasuo W is on cooldown, to land damage and control space.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Yasuo has Yasuo R ready and can follow up on knockups.
Avoid risky trades when Yasuo W is up, as it blocks many of your projectiles.
Yasuo is more threatening when he can dash through minions; deny him wave access to limit this.

Early game

Focus on controlling the wave and keeping the ball between you and Yasuo to safely poke and shield.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Yasuo's mobility and knockup threat are stronger early.
Punish Yasuo when Yasuo W (Yasuo W) is down to land Q and W poke safely.

Power spikes

Orianna's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed mage item for stronger teamfight presence and burst.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 Q plus E mobility spike for early all-in attempts.
Yasuo's level 6 R is dangerous if he can knock you airborne; play around this window carefully.

Win conditions

Control the lane by precise ball placement to zone Yasuo and deny his mobility options.
Punish Yasuo's cooldown windows, especially after Yasuo W expires, to chip him down.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to leverage your R for impactful teamfights and lane dominance.
