How to play it

Windwall his E
block that and from there on you just chunk him or kill him.
Dash when he steps up
Realistically he should never be in range to dash to, but the moment he steps up, dash onto him, Windwall his E, and take over.
He's skillshot-reliant
Xerath is completely skillshot-reliant, and Yasuo is good against that: sidestep and Windwall his poke to walk him down.
Never dash in while he's played safe at max range: only commit once he oversteps into your range.
