Does Yasuo really have a weak early game like everyone says?
This is not a complain against Yasuo, I am just curious to know why everyone says that Yasuo's early game is weak.
From my experience, this isn't really true. Yasuo actually has a strong early game during the first three or four levels. For example, often I use two champions against Yasuo: Vladimir and Cho'Gath. With both of them, I have to play safe during early game.
With 
, I have to start 
+ 5 
and play safe until I buy a 
, else Yasuo can all-in and kill me. It's hard to poke Yasuo because Vlad's E cost a lot of health and his passive shield can block Q's damage, and it doesn't offer enough sustain during the early game.
With 
, I just have to play safe until level 4, where I can really start to beat and outsustain Yasuo. Without all his abilities, it is difficult for Cho to do anything against Yasuo, but once he has abilities and items, there is nothing that Yasuo can do to kill or outsustain him.
I have the sabe problem with other champions, I will give two other examples of champions that are not considered to be counters to Yasuo:
With 
; Once I laned against Yasuo as Diana, and the lane phase was hell. There was nothing that I could do against Yasuo. Farming was pretty hard as he could harass me and I couldn't harass him in return due to his shield. The first 11 levels were a nightmare. However, with a couple of items (I remember that my build was something like 
) I could actually all-in Yasuo everytime I wanted, and just burst him down and kill him.
With 
; Just like Diana, lane phase was hell. However, with a couple of items, I could just all-in and burst down Yasuo. The difference is that I could only do that if he was isolated. I bought a 
to be able to better 1x1 him, too (I bought Frozen Heart after I already have purchased damage items, of course).
Does Yasuo really have a weak early game like everyone says? Because everytime I go against him, I can't just poke or harass him like everyone says, this is actually fairly difficult due to his shield. Not to mention, with the mobility from his E, and the wind wall, it's almost impossible to land a skillshot on him, so I have to rely on targeted or AoE abilities.
However, once the lane phase ends, then Yasuo stops to be a problem unless he got fed early. He is destructive during teamfights, but is not difficult to kill or CC him during them.
Can somebody explain that?
