Yasuo's W Always Confuses Me

Like, his theme is wind. He gets a shield from moving, and he has unlimited dashes as long he has minions. Even his Q is basically an auto put into a skillshot, so he never has to really stand still and trade autos, not to mention its interaction with his E. His whole kit basically revolves around having unlimited mobility and never staying put, but then you've got this wall, something that pins him down and makes him have to fight around it to get maximum effectiveness. It just feels really awkward to use, but then again, I could just be really bad, and complaining for no apparent reason. But, either way, the other day, when I was laning a Renekton, I didn't bother taking my wall until much later into the game because I wanted to just sit top and fight him. And I had fun, more fun than I did when I had to play around my wall. And I feel like maybe, just MAYBE, Yasuo could trade that spell for some reliable escape, or honestly anything else that is mobility, anything that meshes well with the rest of his kit.
