Given to Yasuo, on a Silver Platter

His Ult makes him go out of turret range, and reduces skill expression on Yasuo's part.
His W starts off from him and goes forward instead of starting out from few steps away from him and staying in one place. The advantage of this is that when Yasuo Ults you, and is right on top of you, he can still block your projectiles.
His E and walking around makes him charge a fk ton of shield.

I ask again, for the love of God, isn't he cancer enough with his infinite mana, infinite blocking with his windwall and infinite dashes?

Yh, i kinda exaggerated now and there but you get the point. He shouldn't be given advantages which involve no skill expression from Yasuo's part (player), especially when, how frustrating the rest of his kit is already. This is not a Yasuo OP hate thread which the intelligent would be able to see at first sight.

Yasuo is not seen as cancer everywhere. He's a more popular champion on the Asian servers, yet they regard him as a balanced champion with obvious counterplay. If he truly were a cheap and overpowered champion, he would have a >50% winrate.

Yasuo must push the lane. Must. He has to hit things to charge his Q, and his dash damages minions, ramping up the more he dashes. If you play safe, focus on auto-attacking Yasuo and only last-hitting your minions, Yasuo's lane will slowly push to you, setting up an easy freeze and an easy gank. You want to keep your minions on your side of the map so that he can't use his dash to escape if he gets cornered or engage unless he feels like eating some tower shots.

Force him to use Windwall. Any non-ult, non-summoner cooldown will have a shorter cooldown than Windwall. Threaten him with CC. If he doesn't block it, chunk him and walk away. If he does, back off, wait for your CC to come back up, and threaten him again, only this time he won't have Windwall to defend himself with.

Clearly stated not a Yas OP thread and yet i see replies focusing solely on assumptions that i never made. People clearly disregarding the point of this discussion, which is how his kit gives him so much safety without Yasuo doing anything on his part.

Not like i am surprised seeing as how clever the boards usually is.

3)Yas shield is one of the weakest in the game. He also has a lower base HP then most of the cast. 1)Yasuo is already one of the most aggro characters in the game. If his ult didn't place him out of turret range (if it could) he'd become the worst towerdiving skirmisher IN THE GAME. Given how aggro he is that would be like making pantheon unable to lane bully. 2) How does the animation work? Does it just pop into existence instantly. I've honestly never seen a right on top of you windwall block projectiles. It does not happen as often as people state. Yasuo does not have infinite mana. In fact he does not have mana at all. His windwall COULD block infinitely, if it didn't have a finite duration. Yasuo does not have infinite dashes. He has conditional mobility. Infinite dashes is closer to Nidalee, as even Kassadin is gated by mana.
