He has really good short trades, a point and click stun, and a really OP dmg block with his E. This matchup is really hard but not unplayable.
Jayce
It really depends how good the Jayce is but a good Jayce will poke you, and make sure you cant stay on him too long. Ask for jungle ganks
Renekton
Renekton is a super hard matchup for Yasuo just because of how quick and good his trades are and he will just heal back all you dmg with his Q. Try to dash away from his W, don't let him poke you with the edge of his Q as well, and if he has ult he can be 1 hp and comeback. Play smart, ask for jungle ganks.
Garen
Hopefully you wont go against a Garen in lane but if you do have a box of tissues next to you because you are gonna be crying. Garen is so good against Yasuo because of his insane Q dmg and he has a big shield with his W. You should be able to avoid most of his E with your E if there a minions. Overall you cant really do much to him because of his W and passive and he can do so much to you.
Malzahar
After Lvl 6 you need to be really careful because he can press R and the jungle can finish you off. You need to go all in early he can outpoke you but if you go all in he is pretty helpless.
Annie
Watch out for stun. Don't anything but full when she has full combo
Fizz
Kinda winnable pre 6 if you can dodge his E and try to cancel his autos and after 6 is he tries to R from downtown just W it but most likely he will do a point blank one so you can't see it.
Akali
Akali is very fast make sure to not miss ability's.
Talon
I almost always ban Talon 1v1ing you he has a big of an upper hand but mostly because of the fact he can get away and roam so easily and before you know it your bot lane is 0/6.
Ahri
Depends on Ahri's skill but if they waste E then its really easy to go in. If they hold onto it I usually just go in super close and Windwall and it almost always works.
Ekko
Make sure to dodge or W his combo and dodge his R other if you can do that its not too bad.
Galio
Galio is really good at short trades but just don't let him get away and he will be helpless.
Veigar
Veigar is pretty easy to win against but once he starts doing dmg just make sure to not get hit by his stun and watch out for jungle ganks
Ziggs
You can windwall his stuff and dodge it so against Ziggs it should be pretty easy. Just try not to get poked too much
Lux
You can't W her R but you can W everything else, she has no movement and if you dodge or W her root she is pretty much dead.
Aurelion Sol
You can pretty easily stay inside of his passive with you E and you can windwall his Q and just sick on and do massive damage.
Anivia
Azir
Cassiopeia
Corki
Diana
Dodge or windwall her Q and try to get out of her ult by E'ing on a minion
Heimerdinger
Dodge his stun and rockets and kill him quick. Maximize your Windwall
Irelia
Katarina
Windwall or tornado when she ults, stay away from her daggers.
LeBlanc
Windwall her e and try to to get juked.
Lissandra
Neeko
Dodge abilities with E or W them and dodge ult with E , don't let her hit you with a E or else she can ult and you can't dodge it
Orianna
Qiyana
Ryze
Samira
Sylas
Syndra
W her R or E if its early game and dodge abilities play aggressive.
Twisted Fate
Viktor
Abuse early because his scaling is insane.
Vladimir
Xerath
Yone
Zed
Try to windwall stuff from R so he doesn't one-shot you. And play back from wave unless you need to cs to avoid getting chunked.
Zoe
Dodge or Windwall her E, dont get cc'd from a gank as well.
Starting with your main keystone, Conqueror is the best pick it gives insane healing and damage in teamfights / extended trades, which is really good for Yasuo.
Next for your smaller runes you wan to go Triumph, you want to take this because it could save you from any burn or Ignite as well as give a decent amount of gold throughout the game.
For your next rune you want to take Legend: Alacrity you want to take this because it will increase your attack speed by a lot just from killing things like champions, minions, and large monsters. This is especially good because Yasuo's Steel Tempest (Q) counts as a basic attack making the cooldown lower.
Last rune for your primary row is going to be Last Stand, Last Stand is better than Coup de Grace because it activates at 60% hp maximizing at 30% hp. You get more value out of it and its very helpful in close fights. Also it can pair very well with a Wit's End when you are below half.
For your secondary runes you are going to want to take Domination it's good because it has the sustaining runes you want.
Your first rune for this secondary tree is going to be Taste of Blood, this will give you some extra sustain in lane to survive, even though the numbers are not that high every little advantage helps and it adds up.
Your final rune is Ravenous Hunter, this will make you heal from your abilities healing a higher percent when you get a unique champion kill (so up to 5 stacks). This is really good as Yasuo because later game you will need to have life steal to win fights and create a big impact.
Summoner Spells
Flash - Always take Flash, its very good for escaping a gank, ganking, teamfighting, and abasically everything, and you need to take it on Yasuo.
Ignite - Most of the time you want to go Ignite. Ignite is not only good for extra damage (in true damage) that scales with Lvl. but it also provides some good utility with the grievous wounds it puts on the enemy. Since you are going to want to play decently aggressive Ignite is always a good option.
Exhuast- Exhaust can be a really good choice when took in the right situation. It's really good into things like Zed, Talon, Fizz. It slows them down so they cant move around as much and it makes them do significantly lower damage when its on them. They will not be able to burst you down or dodge anything. Basically when its good, it's really good.
Teleport - I would not recommend Teleport unless you are going top lane just because there are better spells to use for mid lane and its that long or far away from any objectives, because it's in the middle of the map. But if you are playing top lane Teleport is a must have.
Cleanse - Although Cleanse can be good for heavy CC I just feel weak when using it. Like taking this the summoner spell over another one just because I cant dodge or position. It can be good in some scenarios and to escape ganks. You can take it if you like but it's not my first choice.
Items
Starting Items
Doran's Blade - Doran's Blade is going to be your main starting item. It is really good because it provides a good amount of health for early on (80) and 8 AD and it has 3% lifesteal which is really helpful even though it might not seem so. Doran's Blade is a really good aggressive starting item which is great for Yasuo.
Items to Rush
Doran's Blade - For one of your first items a lot of the time you will get a second Doran's Blade, reason being it is really good early game strength and 6% lifesteal total is not bad.
Berserker's Greaves - Another Item you MUST rush is Berserker's Greaves, it gives some helpful movement speed to avoid ganks, chase, dodge and makes your dash faster. As well as giving you +35% attack speed making your Q Steel Tempest cooldown lowered because it counts as an autoattack, which is extremely good for Yasuo.
