I'm sorry, but I just can't agree with what you're saying. Yasuo is indeed annoying, frustrating, and probably needs a rework, but ultimately, at where I play and where higher level players play, he's not strong. He can't escape easily, and for as many games where he can be frustrating, there are far more where someone plays Irelia or Renekton at a competent level and completely destroys him, or the jungler properly shuts him down. The things you're complaining about just aren't problems that I personally experience where I play. If he was as strong as you're making him out to be, he would be a pick or ban in LCS and challenger, but he's more often a very situational counterpick.

I ban him because I hate playing against him, not because he's strong. Listing reasons he's strong that I personally never/rarely experience simply cannot convince me of his strength, and I don't say that to be pretentious, that's just the nature of perspective. I'll respect that I could be wrong if you'll stop acting as though you couldn't be wrong.

As long as he's building mostly damage, he's not too bad, just don't try and 1v1 him once he has a few items, and be careful level 2. One defensive item doesn't make him a real bruiser, although if you don't cc him well, I can understand his lifesteal making it feel that way. Games rarely go over 30-35 minutes, so it's kind of rare that I end up against a Yasuo that really reaches a point where he's a main threat. He's like an adc that goes into melee range. Windwall negates some risk, but if he's caught by anything he can still blow up just as quickly as he can kill.
