I agree, Yasuo is definitely unique and has become kind of a new generation classic due to his flair and highly mobile playstyle. He is also the first honest-to-god weeaboo fan-service champion which is surprising considering we have all of Ionia to rummage through.

What is a shame is that Riot smeared over and blunted Yasuo's sharp champion playstyle with oppressive damage and passives. A champion loses its detail when it can just bulldoze their way through! Fancy play potential doesn't matter when it isn't really essential.

@ Crossm - Simple champions are good as long as they remain unique and that is more than possible. Riot overload kits because they want the next attention grabbing money maker to be their next champion.

It is a shame though that more thought is put into making people buy the champion, and its skins, and go watch it being played professionally (being really fun to play) rather than champion balance and fair counter-play when playing against them. It's about 70:30 I'd say.
