lets see.

-resourceless, yes, but that alone doesnt make op. remember garen?

-nope, its not the strongest. malphite riven and vi say hi. plus its ridiculously easy to pop. at lvl 18 it is the strongest, probably, but it only lasts 2 seconds and it takes forever to get back.

-cooldown on q is low, yes. but here comes a newsflash. his q is essentially a longer delay longer range autoattack. e cant be cast on the same dude for 6 seconds, which is kinda big in teamfights. ult requires knockup, so if noone of your team has it, you need to hit yours, which isnt the easiest thing.

- actually you need 15 seconds for the possibility of having it again. usually you will need around 30-40 seconds until you can cast it again.

-yeah, so? that just gives him synergy with other knockups. synergy champs like ori also kinda have.

-im afraid you dont quite realize how crit reduction works. his crits deal 10% less damage, so its 250*0.9. in other words 225. his q deals 25% less. so its 250*0.75. in other words 187.5. which is a serious damage cut.

so basically, he isnt safe at all (a 2 second easy to pop and forever taking to recharge shield doesnt make you safe, plus his only dash is a slow and interruptable one.). he wont be able to oneshot a team unless they are really really far behind, plus in those situations a lot of champions are strong (fiora, yi, etc.). however yasuo has the melee carry syndrome. if he gets ccd he is dead.
