"the aoe". with that much of a thin line you will rarely hit anyone besides the main target. unless you are ulting with an ori, which admitevily is one of the most evil combos. the whirlwinds are actually rather easy to dodge. and sure, its a hard cc, but its not particularly impressive. the crit reduce actually makes it so the damage of his q is only a little stronger than his autoattacks lategame. thing is, its 100 bonus damage, but less crit damage. lategame, if we say yasuo has, like, 300 ad, his normal crits will deal 300*1.8. which is roughly 540. his q crit will deal 600. and it has the downside of being slower and avoidable. its not an AA reset, its more like a slower AA. his e actually isnt his urchin strike. its a lot more susceptible to followup. its rather slow, fixed, and weak to cc. fizz can use his e to trollpole out, yasuo cant. his lategame is acutally not that impressive. sure, his autoattacks are guaranteed crits, but they deal less damage. on the other hand we have trynda who also has guaranteed crits. but full damage. and a 5 sec undieable move. and his w, which is the most underrated spell there is. also, triforce sucks on yasuo.

as for you, if he is build like an adc, guess what happens? "enemy taric uses stun. its very effective. yasuo is paralyzed. enemy team uses burst. yasuo fainted". basically? melee carry syndrome. he is like an adc, only a lot less safe. his q is not a reset and instead replaces the autoattack most of the times. 50% bonus armor pen actually only helps against tanks. against normal champions you will pretty much need LW. because with only base armor they easily get 44% reduced damage. and thats base armor.

the thing is, lategame, most melee carries are scarier. fiora, if you are clumped up (aka perfect situation for yasuo as well), her ult deals crazy damage. otherwise it still deals a lot of damage. yi just melts everyone because 20% ad true damage is huge, also he has his q to avoid most stuff. trynda has his ult and w. gp is weaker, but he is gp anyway. hell, if we consider riven a melee carry, she is much scarier. she deals a lot more damage, kills your entire team, has a lot more reliable damage and cc, and survives a lot easier. thing is, yasuo is strong early and particularly strong mid game. thats true. but lategame he isnt as impressive. unless your team builds around him. but the same applies to fiora.
