Why are people being allowed to get away with building Yi, the wrong way.

Seriously, these items were not meant for him. He was not meant to build item 3053 and item 3748. You need to start PUNISHING people for building them because doing that is akin to cheating. Either nerf these items or nerf Yi so that he can't benefit from them. I am tired of losing games because you are too incompetent to do your job correctly in the first place. We all know what Yi is supposed to be, he is a high damage, squishy AD carry. STOP rewarding people who totally abuse him (I dunno why he even needs a heal with that massive damage reduction, even if you are building him normally).

Yi is supposed to be an easy champion... I totally understand that and before it was easy to take CC heavy champions like Lissandra and completely dominate him with hard CC however NOW... he builds tanky and it doesn't matter if he gets CC'ed or not because he breaks out and immediately does the same damage that AD Carry Yi does without any of the weaknesses.

Why are you allowing people to do this? To abuse this champion is such a way. People like this should be punished, not rewarded because some idiot somewhere discovered that you have left massive loopholes in the game that allows them to eliminate Yi's major weaknesses. The nerfs in the last patch are simply NOT ENOUGH, they are pathetic love taps compared to how you wrecked pretty much MOST AP mages and items.

You are so quick to enforce the meta on everyone else (Soraka /Taric are pretty much shoehorned into the support role now because of your "reworks") but you allow Yi and the people who play him to go complete unpunished. This build completely eliminates Yi's ONLY REAL WEAKNESS and you are constantly ignoring it.

Its pretty obvious by now that you are either unwilling or completely unable to fix him. I suspect he is probably a victim of your own incompetent design and you did not consider it when you released these items.
