Yi the true god

NZAxis·Mar 16, 2016·2 votes·487 views

Honestly everytime I see this champ in game I just immediately bow down in his presence in mercy that he doesn't push his Q to massacre whatever is near him, I pray even during the loading screen that the Yi im about to encounter is half baked or is incredibly stupid so we actually have a chance to win. Riot can you please just perma ban this champ and make the game fun? Please even perma ban him in normal games so we can have fun there too, having a god vs mere mortals is not balanced at all. Do you guys employ kids to discuss balance or something? Not sure how this mistake even remotely made it through to live servers

No need to be so rude about it. (Even if it is true.) Guinsoo's just needs some nerfs while Yi goes on hiatus for his large and quite necessary rework.

Honestly the only problem with yi's toolkit is his true damage, it quite honestly makes him impossible to build against if you are in the front liners shoes.

Build against his AD, guess what he does Magic damage and true damage. Build against his burst with large health? He has a double strike in his passive with some crit , build against his magic? He still does AD.

The problem with yi is that he has 4 forms of damage.

Normal AD Crit True damage Magic

No champion should be allowed to do that many forms of damage in one, even champions like fiora, jhin or yasuo are given nerfs in their toolkit to stop them from shredding u to death, for example Jhin and yasuo get reduced crit, fiora gets certain abilities that are impossible to crit on.

Master yi however has nothing in his toolkit that nerfs what he can do, it just scales border line infinitely, which is what makes him currently the best clean up assassin in the game.

clean up- A role given to a champion to end teamfights after the initial peeling has been done

Jhin crits for 2000 + dmg lategame... Yi is supposed to be the ultimate melee DPS without any utility for his team. Trynda has AOE slow and dmg reduction, Yasuo - wall, knockups, AOE suppression, Fiora - Aoe heal and some slows. YI has only dmg.

Read the stats, they have factors in place to stop it from being over the top damage, as for this 2000 damage crit, I have yet to see such a thing, 1000 crit I can believe 1500 I can even believe, but not a random flat 2000 from a single auto.

Yi however while yes he only has damage, that is the problem he has pure raw damage that can't be be built against, and here lies the frustration people have towards yi, if your support/utility teamates miss their stuns, you are as good as dead. Your fate is in the hands of someone else on your team, not your own, which is quite frustrating. While yes carries can out play yi, it is much easier for the yi to smash you then it is for you to out play.

Can you please stop makeing pointless topics of assasins you are to incapable of fighting against.

Yi can be stunned and then insta nuked

Zed can be easily out scaled, also cced, and is weak against tanks, not to mention half his assassination potential can be avoided if you actually use that trinket in your inventory called a ward, or remember to ping MIA for your bot laners.

LeBlanc only has a strong lanephase if you play into her game, her playstyle is really weak against wave clear champions, and most her burst is gone, if she is forced to waste her abilities on minions. Not to mention she fits awkward in team comps for she plays a gorilla war fair style instead of a straight up team fight.

TLDR-your posts are pointless, these champions have weakness, a salt post is fine once in a while, even I do it, but this is all you post and it is rather childish.
