Yasuo with exhaust
I've noticed a bunch of pros using exhaust on Yasuo, even if they aren't vs a burst champ (I saw Faker use it vs a Xerath) and I was just wondering what makes it so good and when to use it? I'd assume if you ult someone you exhaust them then for further reduce of their armor but not sure. Also, is it really worth to not take ignite for a more aggressive laning phase that might give you the so important early lead/ kill?

In my opinion, I would not take exhaust on Yasuo. The advantages of taking exhaust are that if you are up against an assassin then you are able to negate a portion of their damage. It also slows so it can help with chasing, running, peeling, or help with aiming your tornado. The season 5 meta as it stands right now is moving away from the bursty assassins to bruisers. The kill pressure from ignite outweighs the benefits of exhaust. As Yasuo you will not need exhaust for the slow as you do have pretty good chase potential and outplay potential if you are ganked. The damage reduction would help as you can be fairly squishy.
This is what I think about taking exhaust on Yasuo. I hope that this helps.
