In every 5v5 MOBA title, players pick their most and least favorite champions. In League of Legends: Speed War, Yasuo is considered one of the most intriguing champions to play and is chosen by many. He can deal tremendous damage, quickly turning enemies and tanks into colorful dust, not to mention his high mobility.
Yasuo's Steel Tempest (1) grants him 2 stacks for every hit on an enemy, unleashing a tornado that knocks enemies airborne. So, are there any champions capable of dealing well with this Unforgiven? The answer is yes, and you just need to choose one from the top 5 champions to effectively counter Yasuo in League of Legends: Speed War below.
Top 5 champions to effectively counter Yasuo in League of Legends: Speed War
1. Fiora
If you're about to face Yasuo on the Baron lane, your best bet is Fiora because she's an extremely annoying counter to Yasuo. Fiora's skill set cannot be blocked by Yasuo's Wind Wall (2), and she can deal immense damage with her Passive and Lunge (1).
In addition to her devastating damage, Fiona can also block Yasuo's tornado with her ability Riposte (2). This will surely make Yasuo struggle to use his ultimate Last Breath.
To deal significant damage, players need to know how to build Fiora most effectively. Check out the guide here.

2. Akali
Another excellent Yasuo counter in League of Legends: Speed War is Akali. Although some of Akali's abilities can be blocked by Yasuo's Wind Wall (2), she can still easily take down Yasuo. With her ultimate Perfect Execution, Akali can dash through and swiftly eliminate targets.
Additionally, Akali also has relatively short ability cooldowns. Therefore, even if some of her abilities are blocked by Wind Wall, Akali just needs to wait for Wind Wall to expire and then re-engage. Check out more on how to build Akali here.

3. Fizz
Fizz, the Mage-Assassin, can instantly engage Yasuo. With his ultimate Chum the Waters and ability 1 Urchin Strike, Fizz can take down Yasuo without giving him any chance to counterattack.
But that's not all, Fizz also has ability 3 Playful/Trickster, which can be used to evade Yasuo's attacks, making it difficult for Yasuo to use his ultimate.
4. Malphite
Malphite can be played in any lane. Although Malphite can become a great ally of Yasuo, he will also be a terrible nightmare for Yasuo.
Malphite has ability 1 Seismic Shard, which can be used to shred targets, forcing Yasuo to lose his Passive Shield. After Yasuo no longer receives the shield from his Passive, Malphite can engage with his ultimate Unstoppable Force combined with other abilities and basic attacks to finish off the opponent.

5. Annie
Even though Annie has low defensive capabilities and can be an easy target for Yasuo, once you've mastered Annie's skills, you can make Yasuo suffer and dominate him, even easily finishing him off.
Once the Passive Shield is fully stacked, you can use the ultimate Summon Tibbers to stun Yasuo, then use other skills to finish him off.
Here are the top 5 champions to counter Yasuo in Speed War. By using one of these champions, you can easily overcome Yasuo in the laning phase. However, if you have a Yasuo player on your team, you should also choose suitable champions to synergize with Yasuo in Speed War.
