Yasuo is a swift and flighty damage dealer who starts out fairly weak but scales up into an untouchable storm of projectiles.
Yasuo's unique attack is very slow, but every critical hit makes the next one come a little faster. This dynamic is what causes Yasuo to scale so hard in Swarm.
His E, Sweeping Blade makes him extremely mobile so he can keep himself out of danger and avoid damage while his R, Wind Wall, allows him to create space for himself and his allies by blocking the movements and projectiles of enemies.

Tips and Tricks for Playing Yasuo
The Battle Bunny Crossbow and Bunny Mega-Blast both evolve with Crit Chance which makes them natural pickups for Yasuo, though any weapon which can crit synergizes well.
Yasuo starts out pretty weak but scales exceptionally well with items because more critical hits means more attacks with Steel Tempest - which means more crits.
Evolving Steel Tempest to Wandering Storms is a huge power spike for Yasuo, it's extremely important that he evolves Steel Tempest as quickly as possible.
Yasuo relies on careful use of Sweeping Blade to avoid damage, use it to dash over groups of enemies to safer locations
Sweeping Blade can be used to dash over obstacles.
