Yasuo requires a team to be built around him in order to be effective. There's a reason Yasuo has consistently had a shit winrate. One of the worst outside of Elise.
look at the bolded text.

His win rate is around 50%. Thats not that bad.
Remember, his difficulty is 100%.
And yes 50% is not that bad.

You assume equal skill, and you assume natural weaknesses, and you check numbers for dps. And you can see who will die at any point in the game;;;assuming perfect play, and you will get an answer of who loses.
For example, Kog'Maw will lose 100% of the time against Master Yi in the late game. It doesn't matter what Kog tries, Yi will out damage and gap close him, and there isn't a thing he can do about it.
Now when you take a champion and compare them across all points of the game and you come up with lackluster results at nearly all points, you have to stop and question whether than champion is actually as good as you think.
And Yasuo underperforms hard in early game, slightly below mediocre by himself at mid game (increases based on team comp), and slightly above average at late game (increases based on team comp). You can't tell me that a person that, by himself, has such lackluster performance across all points of the game is still somehow capable of being called anything better than mediocre.
Answers to bolded texts:
-Yes I assume that, but think again. what's the percentage that you'll meet a person on the same lane as you that has an equal skill to you? Very low I presume, that's why I don't base on equal skill because we're all unique.
-dps don't matter if your enemy plays like an idiot. Even Sona can kill Darius if that Darius tower dives/is greedy early game.
-Nope. All depends on the factors around you.
-Is there a thing as a perfect play?
-Well you have a point there, but that KogMaw could always try to counter that Yi or what if the tide of the battle reverses?
~It just all depends on the game factors I guess.
