If you can't slow his attack speed then that's kind of bullshit because he can if you knock him back then he runs back at you in less than a second and if you stun him and focus him in teamfgihts then you die to the other carries while he uses his dildo ability.
Knight Devout4 votesIt's retarded how Yi can ignore 
.
I wouldn't mind if there were other viable counters, but since new Alpha strike and the removal of on-target stuns made him so great at ignoring cc, it's kinda idiotic. Plus, now he deals TRUE damage on hit.
PerishSoftly1 votesDon't forget the True Damage scales with both AD and AS.
Knight Devout1 votesYup, can't negate his scalings. Plus it's not like he cannot buy also a last whisper.
EndGamer113 votesIf Yi did not have the resistance to slows, he would be much more useless in teamfights. I agree he should be afected by AS slows, but he needs the resistance to normal slows.
Knight Devout5 votesThat's what OP Said.
JustMyBassCannon1 votesIt's like everyone forgot what the hell Stuns, Snares, Knockups, Knockbacks, Blinds and Suppresses can do to Yi.
Creamy Seaman1 votesYeah but all we had were knockbacks that game from the only two smart players and our support kept stunning the other support. And look at this bullshit I had over 300 armor and he melted me like nothing. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1650308103/201253335?tab=overview
LOL and it's not like he was any good he just kept suiciding into the turret getting free kills
JustMyBassCannon1 votesIt's not my fault if Paper beat Rock. In blind queues, you either build a comp for everything or you pray to RNJesus that your opponents don't have a comp that preys on your team's weaknesses.
Your build is actually around 400 Armor. He has a Last Whisper (effectively reducing you to 260 Armor) and BotRK on top of his E's true damage. And, unlike Nasus, Yi has very strong DPS.
Creamy Seaman1 votesThis can all be fixed if lifesteal wasn't gained off of champions.
JustMyBassCannon1 votesYou're kidding...right?
The one defensive mechanic of Marksmen? Let's just make it so that it doesn't work at all during important combats.

what is alpha strike
and yes he can even alpha strike suppressions (at least warwicks ult, I have seen alpha'd reliably, idk about malz or skarner)
JustMyBassCannon1 voteswhat is alpha strike
Incapable of dodging most of the suppresses, actually. Three of them are non-projectile, instant-target effects like Ryze's Rune Cage (which he ALSO can't dodge).
But, please, go on about how an effect that has existed in League for likely longer than your account makes Alpha Strike any stronger than, say, Black Shield, Ragnarok or Shroud of Darkness. If you can't bait Alpha Strike, good luck beating anything else in existence.

how does one "bait" alpha strike when he doesn't need it to catch you, so can just save it for when you use your abilities.
I have 100% seen him reliably alpha strike out of infinite duress, because it does not suppress the instant the ability starts - press alpha strike and the cast time starts, then you get suppressed, then alpha strike casts and you break out of it.

If he walks up to you in melee range, the travel time and cast time of your CC will be faster than he can react. So either he has to use Alpha Strike to reliably get into range, or he has to risk letting you CC him anyway. But what the fuck do I know, right? I'm defending Yi, it's not like I've played the damn game for years and outplay him myself...right?
How do you bait Alpha Strike? Throw something at him. Either he freaks and uses it to dodge, or you landed preliminary damage.

I have never seen a Yi dodge Infinite Duress. Maybe it's because I've never seen a Warwick target Yi when he's in the middle of casting Alpha Strike (or maybe the Warwicks I see don't lack brain cell count)

you smart cast it and have fast reaction times. there is a split second (for some stupid reason) where warwick has jumped onto the target but before the target is suppressed, if you set Q to smart cast then mash it as soon as you see him leap at you, and have fast enough reaction times, you will dodge it like 9 times out of 10.
quinn is another one that is hilariously trolly for this with her vault, since not only does it cancel it, it then puts her at max attack range :C
Cenobite Azaziel1 votesYii as MELEE, that can be bursted down (paper made, only innate tankyness supresses him self from doing ANY damage to you), that has only ONE gap closer/dodge. ONE. If yii can dodge your point and click CC/skill shot, he has the god damn right to smack you. Don't know how to play against him? Get some heavy displacement. Tristana kick his ass with R.

what is highlander

suddenly
he presses Q
and tristana R does NOTHING.
Cenobite Azaziel1 votesDon't you have W? You know that R has basically the same animation of her auto attack right? If you can't run away with W because you wasted it engaging (or running away from someone), your suport is roaming other lanes/you are in the frontline ( bad positioning) , Yii get's to smack you. He still has to WALK to you and you get 2 free hits and E if he doesn't Q. BAIT his Q. Highlander has a small window of efficiency.
Any champion can smack you and outplay if you made poor decisions or panicked.
Oh and a tip. Tristanas R sometimes bugs master YI Q , sending him flying off across the map. Sometimes it proc the damage even when he is invencible (same as fiora). There are lots of skills that do that, resulting in being killed DURING an alpha strike, don't need to be a point and click one, AOE damage deals it too, making him even more squishy.
Yi excels in DUELS. He is awful in TFs ( If the other team is good = protect the ADC and APC). , laning and can get counter jungled.
Let him be good at one thing.
