Poppy vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by using (W) to deny Yasuo's dashes and leverage walls for (E) stuns.
Focus on maintaining medium lane pressure to prevent Yasuo from freely stacking (Q) and using (E) for mobility.
This is a control versus snowball matchup where Poppy must disrupt Yasuo's mobility and scaling attempts.

Trading pattern

Hold (W) to block Yasuo's dash attempts and punish him immediately after with (E) into walls.
Trade around (W) cooldown; when his (W) is down, use (Q) and (R) to pressure.
Use short trades focused on passive shield and (Q) damage, avoiding extended fights where Yasuo's mobility excels.

Danger windows

Yasuo is most dangerous when he has his second (Q) tornado ready and (R) available for follow-up; avoid committing without (R) ready.
Be cautious when (W) is up, as it can block your key projectiles and limit your engage options.
Yasuo's mobility spikes when minion waves are present; avoid fighting near large minion groups that enable his (E) dashes.

Early game

Use early levels to position near walls and threaten (E) stuns to limit Yasuo's dash options.
Avoid wasting (W) before Yasuo commits a dash to maximize its anti-mobility effect.
Prioritize short trades using (Q) and passive shield, then disengage before Yasuo can stack (Q) or use (E) effectively.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to knock Yasuo away or isolate him, denying his all-in potential and resetting fights.
After your first tank item, hold (W) confidently to absorb Yasuo's burst and control engagements near terrain.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 combo of (Q) plus (E) mobility; avoid giving him spacing or minion setups to engage cleanly.

Win conditions

Deny Yasuo's dash mobility by holding (W) and punishing any committed dashes with (E) into walls.
Use terrain to threaten stuns and force Yasuo into unfavorable trades or wave states.
Leverage (R) at level 6 to disrupt Yasuo's all-ins and peel for your team, controlling skirmishes and teamfights.
