The big issue I've seen with this guy compared to other assassins is that his burst isn't readily available to him. Characters like Zed, Fizz, and Kat can just walk into a lane and burst someone down, but Yasuo needs a knockup to do so. His own knockup doesn't kick in until the third SUCCESSFUL cast of Q, and the charge to launch the knockup only lasts for a few seconds. This means hs can't charge it up on the way from a lane, and if he's coming from the jungle he'd have to be hauling ass and gank almost immediately. Unless someone else can provide a knockup for him, the best case scenario I see for him is: Dash to minion > Q > AA > Dash to enemy > Q > AA > Knockup > Ult and finish.
