"Free Barrier" is simply incorrect. Barrier can be used to block a heavy burst spell or something. Yasuo's shield only blocks a single auto attack before it gets unwillingly popped, then they're free to use their heavy burst spell on his HP directly.

His dash has a 475 range, which is far less than nearly every ranged auto attack in the game, and melees have ranged spells.

I do think that he can make good use of his shield being spammed around a lot in a teamfight. I've seen him built moderatly tanky and he gets really strong because of it.

But in lane before he gets said tanky items he really can't do anything to stop the enemy laner destroying him from a small flick to the face.
