Yasuo tips?

Hi, I'm a bronze 3 Yasuo main, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with some trouble I'm having. I've found that I'm not able to snowball with my champ anymore, and after a bit of trying to figure out the problem, I identified it as not being able to get more kills than deaths in team fights. I'd like to believe my laning phase with Yasuo is pretty good, as I usually get fed in my lane or at least zone and otufarm. My problem is in the scenarios where I do get fed and go 4/0 or better before big team fights begin, I can't keep the snowball rolling. I die way too often once more than two enemies are added to the battle, and don't get enough kills to balance my deaths. By end game, I'm usually going even or only have a couple more kills than deaths. Can anyone who is more experienced with Yasuo give me tips to do well in team fights? Thanks :)

I don't play that annoying af champ but just max e first and you will prob win lane.

Well it can come down to choosing the right time to engage, just because a teammate knocks up a champ doesnt necessarily mean you have to ult off of their knockup. sometimes it can be best to chain CC a teammates knock up with your 3rd Q. And not getting caught out, thats a big thing. You can choose in a fight to peel for your adc and kill off the enemy team frontline and then move to the back line which can work sometimes or you can play as assassin yasuo and just dive the back line. I prefer to build yasuo as a fighter rather than just damage only items, getting like shiv and IE then depending on how the games going either BT or a defensive item or two.

By building fighter do you mean getting defense items? If so, which would you recommend, because I usually go full ad Yasuo, but I don't do too well diving back line because I'm not very smart when it comes to knowing when to engage, so I get focused by all 5 enemies and killed instantly killed.

For lots of tips I would suggest watching a video from Trinimmortal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNPktI93N6c

Aaaand a thousand years later, SO recently I have been building yasuo as follows: Phantom Dancer straight into IE if things are going good then at the very least a vamp sceptre now things get varied: If theres a butt load of tanks my life steal Item will be BORK if not its BT and again if there are tanks one of the LW items. I almost always go Merc treads nowadays aswell but again its situational. Heavy ap Spirit visage + Steraks counters burst pretty good. Heavy ad with an adc building lots of crit randuins if just heavy at deadmans or sunfire. Pretty much normally I build atleast 2 defensive items nowadays instead of full ad.
