He has the problems of assassins, and that's not very much, especially with his get-out-of-jail-free card in Wind Wall, and his obscenely high mobility in the new League of Skillshots. Some of the best champions at the moment have retained some strong point-and-click damage, and the rest have obscene enough mobility that they can fly in and out of battle if it starts to go awry. Yasuo has somewhat retained both, as Steel Tempest isn't a particularly easy skill to dodge, especially when activated during Sweeping Blade.

He also doesn't fall off lategame, thanks to his major affinity toward critical strikes. That's a carry tactic, and he uses it more than just about anyone in the game, except maybe Trynda. 10% damage drop on crits doesn't mean much when 2 items max your crit chance.
