When will Yasuo receive significant changes?

This is not a discussion about whether or not Yasuo is overpowered, there is more than enough of those already. Please keep comments about those out of this discussion to focus on his banrate being in the top banned champions for 51 patches.

Regardless of his power level, he can cause frustration and tilt incredibly easily, and playing against a good Yasuo is quite a bit more terrifying than playing against a main of another champion in the same skill level, just because of how much value he can get out of his kit. While that remains, his ban rate will likely stay the same, even if he's weak.

I've been trying to learn him for the past couple of weeks on a smurf account so I can take it slow, but it's rare that I ever actually get to play him. He's banned in nearly every game, and until significant changes are made, I think this stalemate will remain. Yasuo mains can't play Yasuo because of how he works, and shutting him down usually requires the efforts of a Jungler, which not every Jungler will know nor provide, especially in low ELO.

So the question stands, what will happen to Yasuo if this continues? If he only causes frustration, warranted or not, and his mains cannot play him because of his constant banrate, he is essentially the bane of SoloQ that is never seen in SoloQ.

I myself have no ideas on how to change Yasuo, these are just observations that he _should _ be changed for the health of the champion's playerbase and the community in general.

Never, why on earth would the most played and most popular league champion be changed? that is just stupid.

Never because you cannot alleviate the grievances of people who don't like playing against him without ruining the champion for his playerbase
