As a Tryndamere main, I think Yasuo has some certain, practical weaknesses that people tend to overlook before regarding him as unbearable. (Focusing on his kit and numbers)

Like Tryndamere, Yasuo benefits majorly from having easy access to the enemy's minion waves. So, essentially, Yasuo's ability to be very effecient or not, is often subject to his enemy's ability to manage their minion waves well.

Keeping in mind that Yasuo's kit requires him to deal a considerable amount of damage to his minion wave in the process (stacking up his tornado, dashing to engage fights, dashing to flee, collateral Q damage), more than often, he ends up having his lane greatly pushed into his enemy.

My general advice to those having trouble dealing with Yasuo, would be to actually let him make an agressive move or two at level 1, so that his lane ends up pushed. Reacting to that, you shall not push him back (even if that means having him reach level 2 first and losing a trade or two) but focus on freezing your lane close to your turret's range. In order to do that, you're advised to perhaps invest into some extra early game health potions, that will safely allow you to endure and sustain through any damage suffered from Yasuo and his minions while you try to freeze.

From that point on, you have a WAY less mobile Yasuo, zoned out of any in-lane dashes, locked and occupied close to your turret for exp/gold and in a spot where he's now easily gankable, shall your jungler decide they want to make their lifes a little bit easier by ganking you.

Following to the above and perhaps after a successful gank or two, you have a Yasuo that is behind both in farm and experience, with any early game advantages from flat runes and items slowly fading away into insignificance and with his ability to snowball and make risky-rewarding plays greatly reduced, if not practically nullified.

Having the above pointed out and kept in mind, I think Yasuo is fully justified his current kit and numbers, since he's required to surpass a pretty 'difficult' phase in order to reach the point where he really makes good use of them.

Now go people. Face that damn wind!
