Why would you QSS it? If Yasuo ults you, you are dead anyways. QSS does not reduce his damage in any way. And Barrier is better than Cleanse against Yasuo.

If he is splitpushing after ~30 minutes and you can only send one, you need to send Jax, Nasus, Trynd or Riven. When duelling Yasuo, the winner is the one who baited the other's CDs the best: Yasuo without tornado dies, Jax without stun dies... Don't be too aggressive (especially when there are minions for his E), you don't need to kill him, but if you engage and fail, he may be able to kill you.

PS: Yasuo cannot be balanced. Not saying he is op (a true op champ is Gragas, or Kayle, too powerful in any comp against any comp), he kinda has Poppy-status (just not kept unviable on purpose like her). He will always be too powerful with/against the right comp, and not powerful enough with/against the wrong comp. That's just in his concept. And that's why he has the highest win rate in 5x5 ranked (56-57%), where comps matter, while barely breaking the 50% in soloq. I don't say/think it's bad, just ironical since Riot never really showed affection for "best comp wins" matches. Maybe they've changed their balance guidelines.
