How to play Yasuo in ARAM Mayhem
Yasuo is one of the strongest picks in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier S, #1 of 173 champions, with a 58.6% win rate over 2,694,080 games. It is also one of the most picked champions, showing up in 12% of games, so expect to see it on both sides. Riot rates it 10/10 for difficulty, so give it a few games before you judge it.
81% of Yasuo's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down. It soaks 35,582 damage per game and mitigates another 70,313, so it belongs at the front: start fights and absorb the poke your carries can't.
The Crit build, critical strike and attack speed items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Rite of Ruin, Yun Tal Wildarrows and Death's Dance, with a 60.4% win rate over 1,336,486 games. For boots, most players buy Berserker's Greaves, but Gluttonous Greaves rank higher.
The cards that do best on Yasuo are The Boom and the Bass, Mystic Punch and escAPADe. Cards built around ability power fill most of the top of its list, followed by attack speed and on-hit. Skip Ultimate Awakening and Spin Me Right Round when you can: they do worst on Yasuo. A pair to look for: Mystic Punch with The Boom and the Bass.
Take Flash and Mark (93% of players). Max Q (Steel Tempest) first, then E, then W. Players who max E first instead win a little more often, so it is worth trying.
