He is tough in lane and a monster to duel...But he is a high skill cap assassin, so that works. But, why the potential for huge AOE damage? Assassin is supposed to blow up a single target, not a whole team.
An adjustment to his R may be needed. Maybe not even single target, but mitigate the group damage if he catches more then one person in their air.
ScissorsNstuff4 votesyasuo isn't an assassin
he's a melee carry.. like an adc but not a marksman

Any melee champion that builds crit is basically an assassin
Tyrone Lannister2 votesMost assassins don't build crit though.

being an assassin is about a lot more than simply building crit
Malfectious1 votesAren't late game carries supposed to have weak early games and hard lane phases? He may be labeled a carry, but he is an assassin, and one of the best ones in the game.
Void Nargacuga1 votesYasuo is a Skirmisher. Which is part of the Slayer general classification and which possibly causes the confusion for thinking he is an assassin.
Skirmishers
Fiora
Riven
Yasuo
Tryndamere
Master Yi
Jax
Ekko
Okay...So where is the other move in this list of skirmishers that can half health an entire team by pressing R?

•Fiora = she kills tanks instead of teams but her Q has like no cooldown. Imagine if yasuo's E had way more damage •Riven = R •Yasuo = R I guess? •Tryndamere = R •Master Yi = Q •Jax = Jax •Ekko = R

ScissorsNstuff1 votesNowhere because Yasuo can't half the health of the entire team.
he can 100% an entire team if they are terrible enough
GankedByWindows1 votesHe can't. Riven can though if fed with her ultimate that doesn't require setup.

he isn't a lategame carry though
he is an AD midlaner with a midgame powerspike that settles down after a while like most other midlaners. He just looks scarier while doing it and confuses people at times.
If you put him botlane he will have about as hard a time as any ranged carry
If you put a normal ranged carry mid you'll actually notice a similar pattern where they do well against certain champs and gain material advantage or even completely dominate at first but then tend to level out later. If you can beat an adc mid then you can probably beat yasuo. I you would struggle then you will struggle.
Warlord Scrap1 votesHes a skirmisher the melee form of adc.
Assassins dont buy crit.
He has no aoe unless your team clumps together.
His winrate drops drastically post 45 mins
