A simply solution to simmer down Yasuo's laning power.
Currently 
players max out e first since maxing Q gives very minimal benefits in comparison.
Sweeping Blade [E] RANGE: 475 STATIC COOLDOWN: 0.5 / 0.4 / 0.3 / 0.2 / 0.1 ON-TARGET COOLDOWN: 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 MAGIC DAMAGE: 70 / 90 / 110 / 130 / 150 」 (+ 60% AP) 「 BONUS DAMAGE: 17.5 / 22.5 / 27.5 / 32.5 / 37.5 」 Each cast increases the next dash's base damage by 25% for 5 seconds, up to 50% bonus damage.
Steel Tempest PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 (+ 100% AD) CD: 4 Seconds The cooldown and cast time of Steel Tempest is reduced by 「 1% for every 1.6725% bonus attack speed 」, down to a maximum 66% reduction.
Only thing maxing Q does for a is give him 20 extra base damage when E gives mobility, reduced cast time, CD and increased damage and not to mention +20 base magic damage per rank. Especially for champions who build armour, the amount of magic damage his E does is just oppressive for itemizing against since it deals a significant amount of damage.
So I reckon the best way to fix this issue is to force between maxing E or Q and not just leaving E as the only viable option while still making Q offer so much damage, utility ( 8 second cd knock up basically) without having to be maxed. I mean I am genuinely surprised more people don't just max E then W and leave Q for last since it's just +80 max damage at max rank while W reduces CD and increase the size of it.
**❂ Solution ❂**
So I propose removing his Q's attack speed CDR scaling and make his Q scale off per point in the ability instead and cool down reduction. This will make him sacrifice some early game power (less knock ups and zoning potential in laning phase), and if he chooses to max Q first he will have to sacrifice his magic damage and mobility for a lower Q CD. Currently with AS Quints, Phantom Dancer and Berserker Greaves he reaches 56% Q CDR ( according to my calculations) and that's not even adding his base AS scaling per level. Resource less champions are supposed to struggle to get CDR and the fact that his Q already has a low CD (4) and gets reduced by up to 66% reduction building a stat he naturally gets, and builds simply makes him too strong especially since attack speed benefits crits by being able to attack more often.
