He isn't an issue to fight against if the person playing him isn't mechanically skilled. The issue is when you have someone who knows who to use him competently, because they can avoid every bit of damage you can throw at them. This is why champions like Lee Sin dominated the competitive scene for so long, because the overloaded kit that he had allowed him to be the best in every single situation. That is why Lee Sin has seen so many nerfs.

If you have a champion that can escape from any situation, kill better than any other champions in his role, there are no reasons to pick anything else. We're lucky that the current champion diversity and item build choices have made extremely agile heroes like Yasuo, Riven, Lee Sin, Master Yi, to a lesser extent Tryndamere much easier to chase down and kill.

While it is an entirely viable strategy, no one likes losing because the enemy team avoided conflict all game and split pushed. It's sort of similar to what people complain about when they're in a lane against Soraka. Healing in itself isn't fun to be up against, especially when you find that all of your hard work is quickly undone in a moment by one simple button press.

This is mostly the issue that I have with Yasuo. I find that he is incredibly frustrating to fight against because if you have a champion that can kill him, he can just run away from you. If you can't kill him, he can catch up to you and he can kill you with no problem. I have played Yasuo many times and the only thing that ever gets me killed is greed.
