[Yasuo][Bug]??

This may not be a bug and might be working as intended, but seems to be in need of a tweak or two...
While playing as Yasuo and going for his E>Q Combo, if with in the normal range of the E, executing the combo is rather straight forward and easy. However, if you are just outside his E range and use that ability and want to go for the combo, you virtually have to time the Q almost before you see his dash animation. In my experience with him, if you wait until you see his dash animation, you'll get the normal Q at the end, and if it happens to be a Q3, it will just throw out the tornado in a random direction.
It just seems a little clunky, and yes, there are workarounds for this. But the tool tip says "If cast while dashing, Steel Tempest strikes in a circle."
