Yasuo isn't unbeatable. Probably too strong in the hands of a skilled player, but not unbeatable. The problem is that anyone who can play Yas even moderately well requires a great deal more skill to deal with. E is kind of a prime example. Learning how to weave around minions with E is relatively speaking a lot easier than learning how to perfectly aim skilshot CCs at where Yasuo is going to end his dash, seeing as he can't stop it for any reason. There's also a problem of Windwall and E encouraging a "hard counter" style to playing against him - ever tried playing Zyra vs Yas? He can windwall your only non-ult CC and plants only give him more mobility. But yeah; Yasuo's problems essentially stem from his kit rather than numbers, in my opinion. He's "held back" by a moderately high skill floor, numerous misconceptions about him, and a few reasonably impactful bugs. And bugs being the only thing that keeps someone balanced is hardly a great state of affairs, as I'm sure Azir players could tell you. I think Riot should try properly balancing him and then bug-fixing, rather than just relying on bugs and people being bad at him to keep him "balanced", but unfortunately I don't see it happening unless they're forced to.
