Can we make is so Master Yi doesn't have an 18+ second cooldown on all his basic abilities?

Whenever I play this champion, everyone always whines that I spend too much time farming. I'm not a rocket scientist, but maybe...just maybe if I didn't have such stupidly long cooldowns on my f*cking BASIC ABILITIES I could use them for ganking instead of clearing. Master Yi's basic abilities shouldn't have cooldowns as long as Ezreal's arcane shift or Yasuo's windwall (medidate cooldown is actually longer than both of these).

Q gets reduced by autoing By the time the e duration is done, the cd is already a good portion done And kills reduce cds a ton

Cool story but this doesn't help his laning phase at all. I literally can't contribute at all cuz I have to blow my cooldowns clearing camps.

I'm no jungle main, but I'd think you could alter how you take camps in order to not have your abilities on cooldown when it's time to gank. For example, maybe instead of using Q on raptors then instantly ganking mid, either clear the small chickens with autos or wait for your cooldown to come back by clearing Red or Scuttle first before ganking Mid.

Yea you clearly aren't because what you said makes no sense. If you don't use your abilities to clear raptors you take WAY too much damage from them and then you can't gank. You literally NEED to use your abilities if you don't want to lose half your health clearing them.

Manage your cooldowns. If you want to gank a lane don't Q the monster that will die in 3 hits anyway. Same with E. Want to gank? Don't waste it on the monster.

Literally NOTHING in this game dies in 3 hits. Do you even play the champ?

I never said that they are at 100% hp. You could do 1 damage with your auto attacks and eventually, the monster will die in 3 more hits. Don't use your Q on a monster that will die in 3 hits. This is not hard to understand.

And yes, I played the champion in the jungle, mid, top and as an adc with success.

in the end, even with lower cooldown yi is still a lategame monster. his ganks arent the best. he has no cc at all and he is pretty squishy.

"Ganks aren't the best". "Late game monster". Which is it? Because it sounds like you're giving 2 conflicting opinions here.
