Tips for laning against Yasuo
So I still suck at laning against this guy even after all this time. Anyone got tips? It'll probably be basic stuff I should (or already do) know, and I'm just not applying it right, but better safe than sorry.

Well, firstly, be sure to punish his range, he is melee and can't do too much far away from you. Secondly, try to memorize the timings on his Q, it'll let you juke a few of them. You also need to get into the habit of popping his shield with basic attacks, it's his main defense besides wind wall. And don't stand next to minion waves.
Never push against a Yasuo, not only are you safer under your tower but he becomes open to ganks.
trade when hes having e to his minons and see which ones he e, and if you can kill him block or zone him which ones he can to, qhen q is on cd at early levels harass or get cs
ban him and wait for the nerfs to hit
- go top lane

if you want to be absolutely safe against a yasuo-note that flash is his only escape and he's very squishy. Getting camped as yasuo will literally make you tilt. plus yasuo has a better wave clear than ekko, so whenever i play someone yasuo counters/I don't like to lane against (velkoz) i just let him push the wave and cs under tower if i need to. Otherwise i play fairly safe and stop the wave just before it reaches my tower and cs if i don't think i'll take too much damage. If your jungler can't camp you or isn't a strong early game jungler- feel free to roam and get some kills and snowball other lanes. out play the yasuo with ekko's ultimate-dodge his nado with your e, stun him- ekko's kit offers a lot of outplay potential, not to mention the massive heal you get from your ult, which should be enough health to win the duel. abuse the fact that Yasuo is highly immobile if he has no minions to dash to, and that he revolves around his Q and auto attacks for damage. Dodge the q and your abilities will out damage his autos early on. Later when he gets his items hit him with as much hard CC as you can. Think of it like letting a fed draven live- that means no, stop focusing the fed top laner that builds tank and focus the yasuo. There is no fun in it for Yasuo if you lock him down with say leona and he just dies before he can life steal it back up. He relies on Q and auto attacks, neither of which he can use if he's cc'd. even 1 second of cc can result in a dead yasuo if the entire team focuses him. Make his life absolute hell not only because he chose to play yasuo, but because he thought he could carry hard as yasuo. and don't try to 1v1 him later on, chances are you'll lose if he reaches that bs life steal/damage/defensive potential.

I win lane vs most Yasuos with 
Play Poppy and press W
Depends on what you're playing. If you're playing melee, don't bother leaving tower unless you're jax. You're going to get outtraded every single time. If you're a mage player, trade him and back off. Considering you're asking tips, I take it you're in the lower end of elo. If this is the case, you can abuse most bad yasuos that play too aggressively. Trade, back away, anticipate his dash through creeps, CC, complete your combo, rinse, repeat.
You would not BELIEVE how angry it makes bad yasuo players when you play and assert your big brain trades onto them.
Also, the first few trades, you wanna feel the yasuo out. auto him while he dashes through creeps instead of going straight for the cc. You can bait out the windwall this way, and if he doesn't respond you can proceed to CC him through his dash animation and abuse the hell out of him for it in future trades.
get good, simple.
