He isn't a priority pick in pro play. These champions 
, all frustrating to play against, all got nerfed and left to rot. Why? Because they were pick or ban in the LCS.

It's just unfair when 99% of the playerbase has to have a shit time playing against a champion who was specifically designed to make life miserable for his opponent, but is allowed to exist because he is 'balanced'.
Hotarµ3 votesThe real reason he isn't changed without a second thought is because he's undoubtedly one of the most fun champions to play for most people. He's got an expressive kit (allowing for unique combos and tons of outplay potential), does well in a good amount of matchups with the other matchups being decided based on skill, and has a good flow to his kit (no pun intended.)
I play Yasuo on and off (I'm not great at him, he's just fun lol) but I still think I speak for most players when I say if they ruined his fluidity and skill expression (such as airblades, keyblades, etc.) I would completely drop the champion.
He's a popular, fun champion. It's a sensitive topic, which is why Riot doesn't rework him ASAP.

True. In fact, all of my siblings love playing Yasuo. I think he is responsible for a large portion of Riot's overall revenue too. He's literally in every frontpage, advertising media, merchandise and cinematic.
Frosted Tips2 votesNot 99% of the playerbase this isn't season 3 Kassadin. Also pro play prevelance is not the only reason. He only is absurd when drastic changes to his itemization occurs and he is super easy to punish early. He is not nearly as absurd as many champions are and have been in this game. I don't make this argument for Janna the champion I despise as much as many people despise Yasuo. She isn't broken even though I do believe up until last season she was overtuned, but she is absurdly annoying to play against and makes the game a drastically less fun experience for any melee champion. Honestly if Yasuo ever gets changed than Janna 100% should get changed as well. She is much easier to play and usually sits at a higher win rate than Yasuo.
DaBooosh1 votesI'm pretty sure he was nerfed, a long time ago when pro-players were playing him He still gets played from time to time.(I've been watching LEC)
SaltyBoiMalum1 votesIf yasuo is so broken why do you see nobody in high elo like masters and challenger use him? Because their are way better mid laners, and top laners then him that scale. Obviously, if he gets fed he will shred your team if he is at all decent. The reason why they nerfed those 5 champs is because of how useful their kit is in LCS, and how strong they were in solo que, I may be wrong idk. Their are plenty of match ups were yasuo straight up loses cause he doesnt have items. As long as people understand that you can beat him with your minion wave then nobody would be complaining.

He is picked all the time, which is why he has a 50% banrate in masters. Stop being ignorant and aggressive.
