Any context on Master Yi's Meditate Changes?

SlashStriker·Aug 22, 2018·2 votes·885 views

Meditate (W) cooldown lowered from 35 to 28 damage reduction increased from 50/55/60/65/70% to 60/62.5/65/67.5/70%

I know these changes are only experimental but I would like to hear from Riot which problem about Master Yi is that going to solve?

Yi's lore: Master Yi has tempered his body and sharpened his mind, so that thought and action have become almost as one. Though he chooses to enter into violence only as a last resort, the grace and speed of his blade ensures resolution is always swift

Here is one personal problem about Yi. Even if I didn't stop running away Udyr would just Press another E, then Q and the result is same. Maybe I could take the opposite path but I don't think the end result will be different https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNSVnOHO89Q

The video made no sense.

Other than that, a Yi buff is somewhat questionable concerning his DPS burst he does right now.

Can you explain why the video makes no sense? The Video is to show that Master Yi is about speed but i am not running any faster than Udyr and I had Zeal in my build

Also Mediate's buff is not connected in any way to Yi's Burst

You actually outran the Udyr if you hadn't turn back to AA. And Udyr has the capability to stack up Movement Speed if he constantly switch stances at a short time.

Nonetheless, these aren't even Yi's current problem at all, or even a detrimental one...

Just like you pointed I wont be able to outrun udyr since he will catch me anyways with the next bear stance.

First you say I can outrun udyr if I dont auto attack then you pointed out yourself that Udyr will be able to catch up to me if you spams abilities.

When i started fighting Udyr I had 1-2 seconds of Highlander left and he was right next to me. Pretty much he catches me with the next 2nd Bear Stance

You pretty much never been in same situation as Yi vs Udyr. Udyr always catches you

Cz why is that even Yi's current issue? Just because he can't outrun 1 champion? So you want to buff his movement speed just so he can outrun that 1 person out of 143 champions? You aren't even addressing any of Yi's main problem at all. You just wanted him buffed for your selfish needs.

Like I said I am mentioning my personal problems with Yi and I would like to know which problem is Riot trying to solve with Yi

Why do you think that other champions are suppose to outrun Yi? Isn't Master Yi's concept based around speed? Other champions have tons of utility on their kits and Yi is pretty much selfish champion and you say that YI should be sluggish than other 143 champions?

Other champions provide Stun, Slows, Knock Ups, Buffs on allies, Debuffs on enemies and many more stuff. Many champions have some sort of escape mechanic and Yi got none. Even with highlander I am near my own turret and am unable to do anything. Other champions either got some CC that can help them escape from ganks, or mobile ability that helps them and so on

Why people play Yi jungle 99% of the time and not play him top or mid instead? It's the reason I mentioned. Yi's poor escape mechanic is a problem. at least for me personally He does not provide team with buffs, stuns, slows, does not debuff enemies

Darius for instance can Pull you and Root you with his pool and just walk away. Yi is Agility/Speed based champion and has no way to escape when being ganked
