Yasuo's Best Point in a Match?

To begin, I play A LOT of Yasuo. All the matches aside, I seem to notice, at least for me, a huge reduce in power in the mid game. Yasuo's early game is fine, as long as you don't get behind you do well. If you can get a kill, you usually have a huge upper hand in the lane and can freely roam until you are about 3/0. On the flip-side, if you get behind in the lane at all and mid game comes around it's usually the point of no return. My problem is, that around the 15-20 minute mark... suddenly I feel powerless. It doesn't matter the matchup, or how my team or their team is doing at all. I get to a point where I feel like I am not able to put out as much as I am in the early game. But after completing a couple more items, and making it to the 25-30 minute mark... suddenly I'm a force to be reckoned with again. This is the trend throughout 85% of my matches as him. A lot of them have gone from winning to losing hard, and then suddenly rising from the ashes to score a victory. But... this completely contradicts what most people feel about Yasuo. Everyone else it seems says that Yasuo's BEST point is his mid game. Build wise I don't go too crazy, though I've made plenty of my own variants that still give the same effect. I just want to see thoughts honestly, cause I'm starting to wonder if I'm just doing something absurdly wrong.

Kind of feel the same because I main MonkeyKing and thats the way it works out. I get beat early, but I can all-in him mid game and win. Then late game comes and he smashes me again.

Its because of the items he buys.

Yasuo basically builds ADC items first, which are much more expensive than traditional mage or even Assassin items, so when he gets behind, it is a lot more noticeable just like it is for ADCs, but because of his passive and free shit, he gets those items and suddenly is League Jesus.

Your level 1 and 2 is pretty great, I think (start Q btw, you should know but might not). Mid game you should oneshot squishies as long as you have Stattik+IE (not sure about the PD build) as long as they don't have any armor/health items (which they might not, if they weren't being killed by you earlier). I think your tank and fighter fighting falls off, though. Late game you're a god, just go solo baron once you get that BT.
