How to Play This Matchup

Yasuo is strongest mid game while Gangplank peaks late game. Play around your power window.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.

Yasuo's main weakness: Hard CC, burst before windwall, 0/10 powerspike is a meme. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Yasuo Win Condition
Windwall key abilities, stack Q tornado, R off knockups
Gangplank Win Condition
Scale with barrels, global R, crit barrel one-shots
Kill Pressure vs Map Play
Yasuo typically runs Ignite for kill pressure. Gangplank runs Teleport for map impact. Yasuo needs to convert the combat advantage into kills before Gangplank outscales through TP plays.
