Ah yes the passive shield. It will require positioning but also a lot of moving around but after level three you are aided by Wind Wall's passive which helps you get more flow for the shield and the passive on Sweeping Blade while static and not effected by cooldown has a nearly non-existent cooldown of only a couple seconds. It's not that an idea to sweep a minion blade to get your flow back.

Your Q is a pretty strong zoning tool as well. Q'ing three targets which is easy to do when sweeping around a minion wave any sensible person will wait till you use up the Q knockup or it goes away. After level six people will or at least should steer away from you.

You technically have zoning potential. Yasuo's like Stattik Shiv as it goes well with the mobility that's required of them.

It depends on who you are fighting though. Wind Wall blocks a lot of projectiles and ranged auto attacks but oddly enough not all of them (I think Thresh and Vel'koz can still hit you) and point blank spells are a thing Yasuo can't block. Ground targetted AOE's would make mobility a problem.

Melee champs it's slightly less of a problem but anyone with a gap closer will try to bring the fight to you before you get your knockup ready or while your shield is down.
