Blame everyone except for you, go 1v5 and blame your team for not helping. Edit: Also say ks everytime you get an assist.
if you wanna do a e q flash combo, literally do it in order
e q and then flash the place you want to flash to... (Obviously...)
A beginners mistake is they try to spam q. Yes, it has a super low cool down, but it's not instant. Make sure you use your autos effectively since they are a large portion of your damage after items.
Go onto https://www.reddit.com/r/YasuoMains/ and ask there.
There are tons of trick and tips videos on Youtube about all his nifty tricks, me being a Yas and Kata main, i have learned all of them. The most useful trick you need to learn, is how to E,Q Flash tornado knock them up. It's nearly unavoidable.
Another nifty trick is to cancel your tornado throw animation, by windwalling at the same time. Say you go against AP Varus, and he tries to ult you, but u have a nado up, block that ult and Q at the same time. IT will cancel the "throwing" animation, and the nado will just fly out. Really hard to avoid if they try to all in you.
When trading in lane, always stack your E first by dashing to some minions, but leave an escape minion after the trade to again start it up. Your best chance of winning will come level 2, where you should be able to get first blood.
For your build i suggest 
, those will be your main items. Tri force is really a waste of gold, i wouldn't go for it since there are plenty of alternatives. Everything after that will be situational, if they have heals, you need a mortal reminder. If they have a lot of AP, go for a Spirit Visage, it will give you extra heals, more life, MR, and CDR for your windwall. ETC ETC.
Your windwall gives you sight, use it to gain vision through a wall without using a ward. You can also dash through walls if angled correctly with a JG monster or minion or champion.
Also, if you want the most damage possible when trading, be sure to "weave" auto attacks with Q. As in Auto, Q, auto. You will get so much more damage by canceling animations just like on any other champ.
You can windwall while ulting, if your going to try a risky flashy play, remember that, but don't be that Yas that goes in 1v5 and dies blaming the team for not following up under the turret xD.
This is a VERY BRIEF summary of some of his more useful tips, definitely go look up some videos on youtube.
If you start Q, gain a charge on chickens when minions begin to spawn to have 3rd Q ready sooner.
Practice your wall-dashing in the jungle to make up for your lack of mobility in the jungle. I've found Gromp-in jungle dash to be the hardest for me.
Use your W to cancel your Q animation if you see it needed.
Don't spam your dashes. Yes the dash itself is low cooldown, but the on-target cooldown is not; don't mindlessly dash around. You might just waste all your dashes if you need to escape.
E-Q-Flash in that order is a good combo. Useful to catch people off guard, of course, don't do it without analyzing the risks, as you're using Flash.
If you start E, make sure the enemy laner uses whichever skill they start before jumping in to barrage them with autos. If you get aggressive with your dashing before they use their one skill, you might just get killed.
How good is frozen mallet yasuo top now? I know it got nerfed but is it unplayable?
