Why is Yasuo squishy as hell?

But other hyper carries like Tryndamere, Master Yi, etc actually have decent base HP and defenses? Why is Yasuo balanced as a squishy instead of as a bruiser carry like he should be. Let's be honest here. He's not an assassin. No stealth, and no point and click burst abilities. He is a late game hyper carry fighter. He NEEDS to be on the frong line in order to do damage, and yet his base HP is almost as low as Anivia's. This needs to change. Haters be damned. Riot please. Give Yasuo the stats he needs to do his job.

And yes you can argue that his wind wall and his passive negate his squishiness, but other hyper carries have defensive abilities as well. Master hi has meditate to reduce damage and alpha strike to dodge skillshots. And his ult removes slows! And Tryndamere can heal, is invincible for 5 seconds, and can reduce the ad of his enemies to help him survive. So please, don't tell me Yasuo is the only hyper carries with defensive abilities. The difference is, other hyper carries aren't squishy as hell. Master Yi and Tryndamere actually have decent base HP and defenses. Yasuo does not. Why this is I will never know.

He is a melee ADC, not really a fighter. He was actually supposed to be an alternative bot lane champion, but it never picked up (that's why he has such a strong counter to ranged champions). Because of the defensive powers in his kit, he has lower base defensive stats.

Why is yasuo so squishy?

Becuz he has RESOLVE, He has a shield against champion. Catch point is keep MOVING and attacking ( well that's Q, E which counts as moving) But wait, Yi has shield ( yeah at base, under tower). Tryn has his ult for 5 seconds. ( at lvl 6 and then he dies) let's see if he can catch yas while Yas is dancing around minions using E.

Why does Yas has low HP? With a 100HP shield, it's like having 618 hp at start of lvl 1. Is 618 a low health? His HP regen is 3rd best in RIOT.

If you are not able to use Q + E and stack up flow, then don't play Yasuo, He isn't your type of champ.

Because yasuo can get 100% crib chance with two items and his ult gives him 50% armor penetration for 15 seconds.

And let me add to everything I've already said. Yasuo has more counterplay than Master Yi and Tryndamere will ever have. You can dodge his 'q', so you can avoid a lot of his damage. You cannot dodge Master Yi or Tryndamere's abilities.
