How do you fight Zed as an AD Assassin? (QSS removal)

Don't get ulted? xD Like forreal I need advice on this Yasuo is one of my go to mid-laners when I'm 1st pick in draft. I've always had difficulty with this matchup if i dont get a good lead early, and even then I would need to buy a qss eventually. Whats the new counterplay? I noticed Zed has a pretty high ban rate, so I'd imagine he's a strong pick. One of my teammates advised that I purchase a Zhonyas, and of course I rebuttled that the scaling on Yasuo's E didn't seem worth the large amount of gold that I would have to invest in said Item, not to mention the powerspike I would lose for not buying a Shiv. I ended up dodging so i could get some advice on this haha... Anyways, title. Help?

ban him or buy armor with a phantom dancer instead of shiv for better dueling

Use wind wall when he ults you to negate most of his burst? Or land your knock up and ult in time to negate his ult. Or run summoner 3 or summoner 21 . Use your dashes to outmaneuver his combo. Lane swap with your top lane? Go Grasp and build item 3742 and/or item 3812 .

Go tanky.

Yasuo in particular is good with a tank build since he doesn't actually have much AD scaling; most of his power is in his autoattacks. You don't need huge amounts of AD for that. Just get enough damage to get 100% crit then go full tank.

item 3078 item 3046 item 3047 item 3742 item 3139 item 3053 makes you extremely tanky for your mobility while you still have strong damage and dueling.
