On Yasuo

I know that a lot of Yasuo fans are going to give me lots of hate on this post, so please read it through before you start spamming the swear words and "ur so bronze" insults, and "it's ok because he's hard to play" comments. Flat out, Yasuo's kit is insanely overloaded. He has a decently high damage and high range dash on an extremely short cooldown, meaning that he can abuse it through minion waves and teamfights with ease, and it stacks off of how much he uses it, which is insane. Additionally, his q deals massive damage on a very short cooldown that scales with attackspeed, and has a very powerful, very long range knockup effect upon stacking it but twice. I understand that his windwill does not do any actual damage, and therefore is seems that he needs to have higher ratios and base damages on his other two abilities, but if you factor in the amount of damage that his w can negate, his overall strength is far too high. His w is quite possibly the strongest zoning and outplay ability in the game if you consider how it can block anything from a Nidalee spear to a Jinx rocket to a Blitzcrank pull and had almost no cast time, especially since you can cancel the animation with a q. Finally, his ult, which I understand can be difficult to land, had a very short cooldown, deals massive damage, greatly increases the length of the knockup that it is activated off of, and almost always allows him to land an extra q or two directly after it, because it gives him about a half second to cast before his opponents reach the ground again. To top it all off, he has absolutely no mana costs, a very strong and quickly generated shield for his passive, and insane crits due to him having double critical strike, meaning that he can be almost capped out with just two items. Don't get me wrong, I understand that he is not a terribly highly contested pick in the LCS or high levels of ranked play, but in solo queue and normals, he is an absolute monster when played correctly., and ruins games for lower ranked players on a daily basis. He has no real weaknesses because he is so mobile, had an insanely strong laning phase, and does not fall off as hard as some of the other bursty ad mid/top laners that are often played. In conclusion, please either rework his kit a little bit so that he doesn't get annihilated or stomp the lane based almost entirely off of his match-up, or give him some substantial weaknesses that can be used to counterplay him. If anyone wants to post some tips for beating a Yasuo in lane, that would be greatly appreciated, as currently I get stomped every single time I play against a decent one. Thanks.
