in case anyone still thinks Yasuo is op, I'd like to point out a few ways to counter him. Since he does damage almost exclusively with basic attacks and his q (which applies on-hit effects), any champions who can negate that damage (jax, teemo, fiora, pantheon, quinn) would do well against him. Also, due to his lack of sustain, he'll want to use his shield instead of his health most of the time, so champions with good gap-closers like talon and kha'zix are good counterpicks because they prevent this strategy. finally, you could simply out-sustain him with champions like nasus and vladimir. that being said, he does snowball very easily, so you have to kill him at least once before he gets shiv to win your lane, and if he also gets boots and ie by the end of laning you'll pretty much lose the game, so play aggressively in the beginning to shut him down.
