Yi is over-powered

So this past game I played with my friend wasn't a fun one. And this isn't a new thing. The recurring problem is an over-powered Master Yi. He ruins lane game play when you have a life-stealing, high attack speed champion come out of the fog of war and decimate your lane. In fact, Master Yi was the only reason the opposing team won. He is fast, has quick attack speed, and his abilities, namely Alpha strike, is one way he can just elimante you in one shot and continue to kill your team. I believe if his max speed were reduced, or a general de-buffing would suffice to make Master Yi a more equal champion.

trust me, theres a reason you don't see him once you start ranked in higher elo's namely cause he can be strong, but is squishy asf. notice I say can be.

He is overpowered, but good group cc can shut him down.

Yi is a low elo stomper, not much else. He's really not that great, and there are better junglers for smashing low elo than him anyways.

cc and blow him up, and then their carry is dead and it's an easy fight. Also yi stomps low elo period, nothing new.

People are worried about Darius buffs making him a low elo stomper... But Yi is allowed to be one.. https://media0.giphy.com/media/Wgx6zPreg4aac/200_s.gif

On hit MasterYi is pretty balanced.

Crit MasterYi is broken and i said that before cuz i main him with Crit builds so i know that.

But that is a Crit problem not MasterYi.

Rework Crit or make it not scale with Attack speed cuz that synergy breaks anything that pairs with it.

Oh wow, forgot that this champion even exists... I'm currently in platinum 5 and yi is almost non existence here for a very good reason. His ganks is just pure dmg. No cc just pure dmg and he suffers from counter jungling from enemies. He can be very good I believe but there are very few high elo yi mains that is actually good at him. I literally one combo yi players at 6 with a lux, he just that squishy. Reasons why he is so good in low elo is because people don't have good map awareness or just making themselves gankablle when its not necessary. He shines even harder in teamfights in low elo since people have terrible focus. one single cc in high elo makes him died in a matter of secs or even instant.
