Master Yi needs to be nerfed. He is a really powerful 450 champion. I think it's a good thing that he is good and really easy to play, but he is so over powered that it makes the game not very enjoyable when someone selects him for that game. I'm just wondering what other people think? Obviously the ones who autolock Master Yi are against this but i was just wondering for everyone else and what their opinions are on this subject.
No, No please stop. Master Yi is NOT overpowered. He is countered hard by hard cc and he doesn't have any cc himself. He does damage, however thornmail and hard cc hard counter him.
So if Yi was 6300 he wouldn't be a problem? Please get the fuck out and never return.
I'm in agreement with the OP,
Master Yi has just too many strengths and not enough weaknesses. Hard CC is a counter for ANY champion and Thornmail only works up to a point.
I think the main reason why people hate playing against Master Yi is that he requires so very little input to gain a ton of output. Low risk, High reward burst champion with damage reducing self-heal, untargetable burst mode, true damage on hit, one of the best gap closing abilities and a stupid amount of built-in CDR.
Any paramecium-brained player can press all 4 buttons and kill multiple people with Master Yi. They should either up his gameplay difficulty or simply rename him from "Wuju Swordsman" to "One-Button-Wonder", since his Alpha Strike is what gives him so much BS.
No cc, weak to invades, limited ganking ability, squishy, high dps. I don't see a problem. He does a lot of damage and nothing else. He's a very selfish pick and if you play vs him properly instead off just letting him farm you'll see he's really not that bad. Play champs who deal well with assassins mid/late. The reason my stats with Naut are so good is because he shuts down everyone who goes "hurrr my team sucks gotta play carries to diamond" which is 87% off people below that level.
step one- lock in fiddle step two- max fear step 3- fear yi when he ults step 4- profit
I can't agree more. Yi is too low of a risk for having such high reward.
"BUT HARD CC SHUTS HIM DOWN"
Just like it shuts anyone down. That isn't a weakness that balances him out, it's universal. The main issue with Yi used to be that his laning phase was a bit on the meh side, but by taking him to the jungle you completely circumvent that. And even though he lacks good CC on his own kit he can deal so much damage in such a short amount of time that even if, by some miracle, he doesn't get the kill during a gank one of his laners probably still will. People are rewarded more for playing a low skill champ like Yi than for playing higher skill cap champs, and that isn't how it should be. They aren't making plays or even worried about teammate's scores, because a Yi knows if he gets fed he can carry harder than Atlas.
Sure he doesn't bring CC. He has zero utility for helping in teamfights or during skirmishes. He's all damage. However, the contribution that Yi, or other stupidly effective binary champs, bring to a team is being able to get lanes snowballing through oppressive force. It doesn't matter if he has any CC because the Nami getting fed off assists has plenty to go around. It doesn't matter that he can be shut down by hard CC when he gives his top Jax room to free farm.
When I would rather lose to a Yasuo or a Warwick than a Yi, there's a serious issue. I've even taken to reporting Yi players who spam "Ez" in allchat for being unskilled because so far as I'm concerned, they are. I can understand why he's so simple: he's an entry level champ, someone to help new players learn mechanics of the game, and the different roles. I get it. But the champs who are so painfully simple shouldn't be so straightforwards that they're stupidly effective as well.
Warwick shouldn't be able to press R and win. Thank god for those nerfs.
Annie shouldn't have so much burst for someone who's got a stun that can be up every few seconds. Only reason she isn't OP is that her range is utter crap and she HAS to land Tibbers most times to really lay down a beating unless she's so fed her W roasts people alive.
Master Yi shouldn't have so much damage, and invincibility, and healing, for someone who literally only has to run into lane and press Q E right click for a double or triple.
I agree 100%. Master Yi is hands down the most overpowered champion in ALL of League of Legends. I absolutely hate when I'm in a game with him and against him. I think a Nerf would be a beautiful idea. Definitely entertain this idea as it will make the game almost 100 times better to play.
Given my preference for tanks and bruisers. Yi is friggen trash tier. Let him gank my lane. I'll eat him for breakfast.
nobody cares about yi along with rise of tank junglers yi has moved to trash tier
not many low level yi players know how to use his q and w to their full potential
So what you're saying is 6300 IP champs should be OP and 450 IP champs should be under-powered? Because that wouldn't give people who buy champions with real money any advantage at all...Besides the fact it's really easy to lock down a master yi. I'm not saying he's not annoying, I'm just saying he's not exactly OP...
What the hell are you all talking about "LOW RISK"??
Zed is low risk. Fizz is low risk. But Yi??
I'm using yi right now as a b5 player and going positive every game with him. I'm getting 13 kills a game glass cannon style. I think he is too strong of a solo q champ, just like trynd, poppy, and fiora. I think the solution is not to Nerf him, but use him until he fails you. That's my plan anyway
I think every champ in the game should only do 1 damage with every ability regardless of items. #balance
dont feed the yi... i mean that's like league 101.. master yi isn't op above bronze. and the only reason he is op in bronze is because people feed him till he's fatter than 
Or you can pick Teemo, Q him, RIP Yi
