Yasuo vs Lissandra Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
At 2,902 games on patch 16.13.1 this is a well-populated matchup, and the 42.11% attached to Yasuo is not sample noise. Lissandra wins it on the reliability of her crowd control rather than on damage.
Frozen Tomb is cast on a target rather than aimed, so no dash, wall or shield stops it from landing, and Ring of Frost roots everything nearby without a projectile involved. Wind Wall blocks enemy projectiles for four seconds and covers Ice Shard; it does nothing about the two abilities that actually punish a Yasuo who has committed Sweeping Blade into the wave. Glacial Path then lifts her out of the position she punished him from.
The stat sheet offers no rescue. Lissandra opens with 620 health to his 590 and reaches 2,490 against his 2,460, so the melee champion is not even the larger one, and her thin 22 base armor sits behind 550 attack range against his 175. Her 325 movement speed is the slowest element of her kit and the single opening he has: at 345 he can force distance while Glacial Path is down. Difficulty ratings of 10 against 6 describe the effort gap, and the volume of games indicates the pattern holds across a wide spread of skill.
