Except that his role isn't an assassin. He's a melee AD Carry, as such his role is the same as, and. All of these do tend to go in and kill, like assassins would, but without being burst dependent.

If you compare, his shield and wind wall would be the equivalent to each respective champion as such: When you look at it that way Yasuo doesn't really have extraordinary defenses. What he does have is extraordinary mobility and Crowd Control, this is one of those melee carries they gave his own cc like and. Riven has been a problem for ages, tweaks upon tweaks since she got released, and Wukong is fairly stable.
 * Meditate = Way of the wanderer || Alpha strike (untargetable) + Highlander (Slow ignore) = Wind Wall
 * Duelist = Way of the wanderer || Riposte + Blade waltz = Wind Wall
 * Bloodlust = Way of the wanderer || Undying Rage == Wind wall
