-"he has no resource constraints", yeah, true. so do a lot of champions, kat, garen, lee sin, diana, vlad, riven, just to name a few.

-a free shield that lasts 2 seconds is easy to pop and takes forever to recharge. yeaaaah.

-a passive that doubles his crit chance while reducing damage by "only" 10%. 10% is a lot, yknow. with ie thats 25% lost. yes, its still a lot of damage that he gets, but not as much as people make it out to be.

-yasuo has no spell you could classify as poke outside of his 3d q. 475 is too low for a poke spell. its not even poke in laning phase.

-an aoe knockup thats easy to dodge or needs him to go deep.

- a ton of slow, interruptable and predictable targetted dashes that are easy to abuse

-his wall is strong, there are ways of dealing with it, but those are mostly repositioning.

-free bonus armor pen, if by free you mean having to get a knockup on enemies first, and then being frozen in the air and an easy target for any burst.

-great synergy with certain items .... what? thats kinda what about every champion has in one way or another.

as far as assasins go, which yasuo isnt one of, he is actually one of the least safe. he has no way of enganging quickly and from afar if they arent knocked up, his only defense is an easy to pop 2 second shield, and he has no way of disenganging, and his only dash is an abusable one. like, talon is a lot safer with invisibility, kat a lot safer with potential resets, kha potential resets and short invisibility, zed has his shadow to get the fuck out, fizz his trollpole, and so on.
