ok, lets get started one by one:

1. yasuo wall is on 24 secs cooldown at the early reaching 18 at late (yasuo dont build CDR so its dumb to include it). the ability is one of the easiest to bait out if you know what youre doing, not to mention some matchups you cant use the wall as it wont help.

2. the double crit is easily compensated by the penalty. it forces you into buying IE to make the damage noticable, or it wont be that high. he is being balanced around the crits and they do a really good job.

3. the armor pen bonus on ult is fine. he must be able to shred through tanks otherwise why play him? fiora have true damage all game and i dont really think that she is OP, not to mention yasuo must have the enemy airborne to use his ult.

4. in case you didnt notice the build consist of two items: trinity and frozen mallet. both items saw increase in popularity and after the trinity rework we saw only trinity users at top lane including irelia and jax, or gnar which can abuse the frozen mallet. same goes for tank ekko. these two items are so loaded with good stats that yasuo can make good use of them. with the crit build he is around 51% winrate, not to mention he got HUGE bug fixes and he got another bug that he deal double damage in AA before ult (which i assume will be fixed so its not worth mentioning).

yasuo is meta not because of his kit, rather because he can abuse the strong duo, just like we had a tank meta with sunfire iceborn visage when we saw every tank that could use them. if they will nerf trinity and mallet, yasuo will dissapear and return to the mid lane only to be played in the hands of the yasuo mains.
