I mean, why does he get a free pass on all his abilities for 0 cost. I just do not get what the point is about this. It just seems so rediculously unfair that he gets no resource and yet gets so much free stuff in his kit. Would it really effect his playability if he actually had mana and had to manage resource costs like everyone else bar Riven.
Well, if you take a look at his abilities individually without putting all of his tools together, all of them are pretty simple or lackluster. His Q is basically a skillshot auto, his W is just an ability blocker that provides 0 damage, his E is a low-damage mobility tool, and his ultimate is a situationally-dependent skill.
Looked at separately, his abilities are pretty underwhelming. But when put together...well, the way they flow together is the biggest issue. And when you add in a shield that improves along with his mobility and free stats via his double-crit, it becomes an over-tuned kit.
However, it is also VERY easy to mess up when playing Yasuo, and as a champion, you can clearly see the difference between a player who had played only 10 Yasuo games and a player who has played 100. People will hate me for saying it, but skill IS a factor for him. Low-elo players just do not want to admit when they are out-played.
That being said, having a resource will ultimately ruin the fluidity of his kit, and thus butcher his thematic.
Yasuo is a stupid champion, but having a resource is not how to fix him.
Maybe if he didn't have 2 passives and a shield.
