Although Yasuo has weak early game, he's not trash in lane at all, and survive rather well if you're good with W and do a bit of footwork for the passive. Saying he only counters 3 or 4 champions are pretentious, because he's good against anything that rely of projectiles poke (Ziggs, Ahri, TF, Nida, AP Ezreal...) or anything that have medium-long CD poke (Kata, Kass...).

He's currently balanced, but I do get why people hate him so much and still scream OP. In rank game, there's also counter pick. If you blindly pick him, prepare for a LB, Annie, Kayle to wreck you. However, if you can pick him into a favorable match up (which as I stated earlier, far more than only 3 or 4 that you claim), then he does feel really unstoppable.
