He's actually kinda weak. It's up to his enemy whether they beat him rather than his own skill.

A 2 second shield which his enemy can choose when to pop is not going to do anything for him at all.

And then there's the problem of his itemisation. Saying that he gets 100% crit from less items than someone is valid but not relevant, he still needs more crit items because he can't get buy with just IE and PD/SS, he needs far more of the other stats, meaning all other crit items he buys is completely wasted. And his crits deal less damage too.

I can't think of anyone who can't bully him out of lane in the early game, then he gets completely outscaled by another carry in the lategame. The few middle levels around 7-9 is the only place he's better than Yi.

Fun to play though, and his wall gives a lot of utility if you can block an ult with it. I've just never seen or can even visualize a Yasuo doing carry stuff which another carry couldn't do better.
