Yasuo is currently in no way weak. If you look at win rates yeah it's easy to say he doesnt do well, but he is a high risk high skill high reward champion. So you should assess him as such. Go to champion.gg and you'll see that is the case. In mid lane yasuo seems underpowered with a sub50% winrate. However if you analyze this it is because a lot of players have sub 50 games with him. post 50 games, the point where we start to see high skill on a champion, we see yasuo hit roughly even at 50% and at 125 games, assumed mastery, he's actually OP at 54% win-rate. Further more, in top lane where he theoretically should be at home because he is fight, riot deems him a light-fighter like yi, he sits at 50% base win rate and seems to only go up from their.

As for his kit being toxic and bad, his shield is fine. Build a GA and you wont be getting bursted down which is all you need when you can instagib most enemy ADCs in one blow. Please note, the best way to use yasuo's ult is a follow up on a knock up and  if an orianna or malphite ult and you ult enemy squishies are either A dead or B one Q away from being dead. Giving it more power at least seems wholly unnecessary. As for his E max, it is counterintuitive and that might be a good point you've made, but that doesnt change the fact that you seem to be ignoring the fact that all the points you named as 'annoying' were intended weaknesses like his limited chase potential. He is similar to irelia in that way who can also use her kit to leap to minions and then to you with some quick WQ action.

Also you mentioned something about bjerg having trouble with yas. Maybe its because bjerg is just bad with yas? Zionspartan practiced Yas all season getting a pentakill in soloque and proceeding to start styling on dyrus during the playoffs and when he busted it out it forced bjerg to take the champion. Incarnation also took out yas show casing the highest level of maneuverability that comes with champion. Also, supposedly, Koo tigers are known for running yasuo in their team comps. I feel bjerg doing bad with yas is more an outlier than anything else.
