Part of me is narcissistic enough to believe that the slight complaint I just made opened a floodgate to more Yasuo hate, but that;s probably not the case, so I'll just answer the damn question.

Anything that does sustained damage and can outrun or slow him beats him pretty handily currently, as long as he's not super ahead. Tryndamere, Yi, Fiora, etc, all can basically right click him and melt him down. Any tank that has decent damage can beat him early on as well, so like poppy, Maokai, Malphite(kind of), and Nasus, all tend to do well against him. Any Assassin that can burst through one defensive item and his shield also beat him. So Zed, Rengar, Talon...eventually, all will beat him early, and probably if the game goes on long enough will beat him again. People with slow burst tend to lose though, so no Kha'zix later game, although if he surprises Yasuo or gets ahead he'll also win a fight.

Stay away from champions that have one escape or easy to block skillshots like Ziggs. They work ok if you're going even, but if you get behind he will literally braindead engage and 100-0 you. That's kind of the only situation he can do that, but trust me, I've been there, and it's made me curse Riot just as much as anyone else has.

People that can catch his engage and keep him from dashing out also do well. So Liss with her W, Kennen with his ultimate that will probably be enough to 100-0 him if he dares get close, stuff like that.

Lastly, if you're playing someone like Lee Sin, catch him on a roam. Without the annoying minion jumping, he's not super annoying to kill at all for many champions, if he dares leave the range of your minion range, zone him the fuck away as much as you can, it's just less painful that way.

Basically everything I can think of, good luck.
