Yasuo vs Sett Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Yasuo is a fighter/assassin hybrid, Sett a fighter/tank hybrid, and they meet in the Top lane. The sample behind this page is 923 games from patch 16.13.1, and Yasuo wins 42.5% of them. That is 7.5 points under even, which is why Sett is listed among the champions Yasuo struggles into.
Yasuo and Sett overlap on physical damage, so itemisation converges rather than splits. Level-one bases: Yasuo 590 HP / 32 armour / 32 MR, Sett 670 / 33 / 28. Level 18 armour lands at 110 for Yasuo and 113 for Sett. Yasuo walks at 345 and Sett at 340, so Yasuo dodges skillshots a fraction easier.
Yasuo looks for Sweeping Blade (E); Sett answers with Knuckle Down (Q). The pressure spikes when Last Breath and The Show Stopper come online together. One spends Flow and the other Grit, which changes how long each can keep poking.
Both champions are melee (Yasuo at 175, Sett at 125), so the lane is decided by cooldowns rather than reach.
