I'm starting to see why everyone hates Windwall

As a Jungle main, I usually only have to deal with Yasuo when I gank him for overextending. Seeing as most of my champions are melee, I don't have a problem with him blocking my non-existent projectiles (besides maybe Rengar's Bola).

However, after getting queued as Mid for a few games, and I end up facing Yasuo, I really see why people hate him so much. My mains are Lux and Brand as of recently, meaning that trading with a good Yasuo player in lane after lvl 3 is nearly impossible.

This is all because of his Windwall. All he does is dash in your face, press W, auto's you until the duration ends, and then dashes away. By doing this, he simultaneously pushes in the wave, meaning you have to choose between trying to fight him in a giant wave of minions, or use your abilities to farm. Given that you're a mage, who can't last hit very well under tower, you almost always have to choose the latter, unless Yasuo messes up.

This ends up resulting in Yasuo's Windwall coming off cool-down by the time you're in a good spot to fight him again, meaning there's little to no risk in Yasuo's trading. The only hope is to get a gank, but again, you have to catch him at the perfect time, or you'll have to walk through minions to lock him down.

I remember Riot stating that the reason they made Charm unable to stop enemy movement abilities was because it gave her an advantage just by simply existing; her enemies essentially couldn't use their gap-closers until she blew her charm, because there was such a risk of it getting negated, thus it was dubbed unfair in Riot's eyes.

So why then does Yasuo's Windwall through that principle in the garbage? As long as it's off-cooldown, so many champions are unable to use their major spells because they run the risk of it being instantly countered.

Something needs to be done about this. Maybe give it a a channel time so that he has to use it strategically, instead of getting what is basically a 2 second spell shield.
