You keep calling Riot's balance unfair, why? At worst, they're hesitant to rework an extremely popular champion, which is good, because he's popular because a lot of people like him, and if they ruin that feel they're ruining something that's clearly unique enough that no champion really offers the same gameplay style. Yasuo in terms of power is about middle of the pack, so it's not like he needs changes to be top priority. At least not before the Warwick change that only just went live.

Even then, Yasuo's only a problem in that he's not fun to play against if you aren't playing the game as a team, which is really a problem in normal games and lower ranks, in my games, Yasuo can be frustrating but often ends up shut down by the end of the game even if he gets ahead, with a good windwall being the only thing that can really make him useful. He's a target that CC and focus will actually melt, and unlike other divers he can't close distance in the blink of an eye, so good supports get plenty of time to respond. Forcing him to choose to wall off cc to actually close the gap, or try and get closer first so his wall actually protects him from the threats he's trying to kill.

His kit has a lot, but none of it is out of place, and all of it serves to make him actually able to function in the niche he's intended to fill. I think you're sounding more like you want Yasuo nerfed because you dislike him, quoting overloaded and balance as the justifications because that's something others have said before, yet both of those aren't true by definition and by numbers.

The real reason you want him changed is that he frustrates you. He frustrates basically everyone whenever he does well. Enough so that he will need changes at some point for the sake of game health. Trying to make that into something more willl just lead to this pointless circular argument.
