Yi is in the meta now as a weird combo of devourer and rageblade tank combo. Yi has always been good but after the next patch he is going to deal wayyyyyyyyy more damage than he did before the broken ass meta. He will deal more true damage and get more ad. It's not a nerf it's a buff in ad to try to make people change the way they are playing him now. Smoke and mirrors is what riot is known for.

this? This is a nerf
His wuju is going from TOTAL AD to BONUS AD. This means that he no longer gets free wuju power for leveling up. He no longer gets wuju power for having steraks, or activating steraks rage. At level 18, he loses about 23 true damage per hit, and he'll have lower wuju damage at every stage of the game. The fact that it scales harder is barely relevant when he now has to build AD to benefit from it. This means that he won't be able to sit on devo and rage blade and tear you apart with true damage. The point being, he either deals less damage or dies faster.
The problem with yi is that he rides such a fine line between being got tier and garbage. That's why he's so powerful in his optimal case.
Rozair1 votesYup and the yi that builds warrior triforce infinity edge and bloodthirster will rape your face off
AlwaysByMySide2 votesYup and the yi that builds warrior
Garbage build, don't need to read the rest.
69469238DEL11 votesRead my mind
Rozair1 votesIt's not even close to a garbage build. You seem to have forgotten that yis q cam crit and scales with ad along with this new true damage buff for ad yi he will deal even more true damage.
hgjkdlsaf jeldvb1 votesthat yi dies instantly if he's stunned whereas tank yi lasts through the stun. You no longer have the case of a yi being too tanky to kill yet fucking you up
Anraton1 votesIt is neither a buff nor a nerf ... it is an ... play style sharpening/identity sharpening...
hgjkdlsaf jeldvb2 votesthey are actually nerfing the tank build
ItsCalledALance1 votesnotice he doesn't get played a lot at high elo.
69469238DEL11 votesBut he does right now I think

wrecked us hard. Even before he got full build we'd focus him and he would just not die. This champ needs a hard nerf cause he can deal 600 true damage plus another 600 AD damage and just wreck everyone.
LazyW0lf1 votesWuju Style (E): Active's Flat damage increased to 12/19/26/33/40 from 10/15/20/25/30. Active's AD ratio changed to 25% bonus AD from 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% total AD.
This should be a total nerf to the amount of damage he'll do when building tanky. That's why Riot is doing this.
(Taking info from the League wiki about Yi and common offensive items and only taking relevant stats) Master Yi starts the game with 60 Base AD and it scales to 111 Base AD at level 18. Master Yi sometimes builds Guinsoo's, which fully stacked grants a total of 54 AD and 72 AP plus 20 (+15% Bonus AD) + 7.5% AP as on-hit damage. Sometimes he buys Blade of the Ruined King, which grants 25 AD plus it's 6% current health damage on hit.
Right now, in patch 6.5, Master Yi's E is dealing:
In 6.6, Master Yi's E will be dealing:
As you can see, he will not being doing "wayyyyyyyyy more damage", he will only surpass his previous damage numbers if he has over 100 Bonus AD, which takes at least 2-3 normal offensive items that a Master Yi would build. This effectively makes him need to build Full AD to get the same damage numbers or more than he has right now building tank/bruiser, in patch 6.5, which is the primary reason of this change on the PBE.
Rozair1 votesK how about he infinity edge triforce bloodthirster yi that I build when I play yi. I'm getting a super fucking huge buff here
Sasogwa3 votesK how about he infinity edge triforce bloodthirster yi that I build when I play yi. I'm getting a super fucking huge buff here
Let's see.
Full AD retard Yi build should look like that 
.
Let's forget about the fact this build is absolutely stupid since everybody oneshoots you for a second and consider the following :
Yi's base AD at lvl 18 is 111
With the items you get, you'll get 60 from IE + 25 from trinity + 75 from bloodthirster + 60 from warrior + 65 from youmuus
Which makes 111 AD +285 bonus AD = 396 total AD, but there is also E's passive giving +10% total AD as bonus AD : 396*0.1 = 39.6, let's say 40 to make it simpler. So counting every items, runes and masteries (you should never have AD reds or quints as Yi since attackspeed is so much better, but so little would have negligible impact anyway) that makes 111 base AD + 325 bonus AD = 436 total AD
Old scaling : 30 + 436 x 0.2 = 117 true damage on hit New scaling 40 + 325 x 0.25 = 121 true damage on hit
And that is ultralategame full build full AD master Yi. +4 on-hit true damage. Meanwhile on the viable builds with less AD, it's a meaningful nerf. Also a nerf on this full AD build until you get to 6 items.
"Super fucking huge buff here"
Rozair1 votesAlso I played yi last night and 2 shot vayne with alpha strike and one auto attack so it's not retarded
Rozair1 votesK how about he infinity edge triforce bloodthirster yi that I build when I play yi. I'm getting a super fucking huge buff here. What happens in his late game when he has 5 ad items
