People just dislike fighting him. All it takes is one good teamfight for him to become nearly unstoppable. He is countered by CC, but honestly that's the only thing that counters him.

Probably because he's a one-button wondertrash.

Because i know how to face yi. But do the other 4 idiots know how to deal with him?

low elo soloque is simply too dis-coordinated for people to save 1 bit of hard CC for the man. plus because games tend to drag out they find it difficult to keep him down before he scales. its the yasuo/vayne syndrome.

also is a yi main, sports SKT in name. lmao

he's a hyper-carry that with the way the system is currently being FORCED to play, his playstyle no longer falls off. he deals a ton of true damage, can switch targets easily and his only weakness is crowd control, which is in short supply now when damage is so high that in most situations, it's better to just stat-check your opponent if you have a champ you're good with that can do it...

It must have something to do with Yi being a free win. Try something less overpowered and it won't get banned.

From my understanding, it's because people do not want to deal with yi as a teammate or as an opponent. It's like yasuo, it's not fun to deal with them, op or not.

As a teammate, yi either doesn't offer anything (especially early game), or single-handedly carry the game and make you feel insignificant: people want to be the carry, not the one letting others carry.

As an opponent, it's similar concept. Even if enemy yi farms up and doesn't gank, you can't trust your own junglar to punish that by getting a lot of work done early. If enemy yi gets 2 items, suddenly you have no way to deal with him and you can't trust your pug team to coordinately deal with his engage - heck, you can't even rely on your team to be around when he jumps on you.

Because Yi is such an annoying no skill champ

Because they don't like fighting him, mostly due to the fact that he is difficult to kite for the carries and we can't rely on our teams in low elo to peel.

Honestly idk which is worse the fact you're a Yi main or the SKT T1 in your name. x.x meh guess everyone has their own kinks xD. Like others say Yi has no counterplay outside of hard CC & pops off way to easily, time to change mains.

I think Yi has some very glaring and easily exploited weaknesses. That being said, I default to banning him when I jungle and don't plan to play him. My reason is that I expect to get idiots every game that will somehow manage to feed him 4 kills before 10 minutes. When that happens, he cannot be stopped. Actually he can be stopped but like I said, I expect to get idiots. Stopping him necessitates using your brain which I never expect my team to have and I simply cannot counter him alone. You can't build armor against him and you cannot out duel him with any champion. My only recourse is to ban him.
