Yasuo is extremely item dependant, meaning in lane, when he doesn't have items, he loses most of his power.

Yasuo has mediocre base damage, and therefore can't do much against an enemy with decent-high base damage.

Yasuo is a melee champion with no escape in a mainly ranged lane, meaning most midlaners can easily harass Yasuo into oblivion with auto attacks or spells, burning his windwall which has a fairly high cooldown at rank 1.

Hence, weak early.
