Master Yi is unhealthy (Rework?)

I believe Master Yi should get reworked. His kit is unfun to play against. Everytime I have a Master Yi in my game, he either feeds, or gets fed, and whenever he gets fed, I feel like I'm very limited when it comes to options to deal with this guy. That alone makes it unfun, for me and my teammates. When a Master Yi gets really fed and 1v9's, (a good master yi ofcourse) I feel like, looking back on the game the only thing i could've done is to either change the champions we played, or pressured master yi harder early. But I rarely see counterplay options once he is already too far ahead, that champion either gets too far behind early because good players know how to deal with him, or He gets ahead and makes it nearly impossible to deal with. Isn't that what an unhealthy champion is? Please riot, if you are reading this, consider a rework. I don't want straight nerfs, I want the kit changed, and I doubt that I'm alone in this one. Thanks for considering, and reading my post.. MasterYi = [zombie-brand-mindblown] [zombie-nunu-bummed] EDIT: If you are going to comment about how you play him, or that he doesn't need nerfs, I want you to know that he shouldn't be nerfed. He is in a spot as a champion, not over powerd, not underpowered, but too strong when ahead, and too weak when behind, and there is rarely an in between, and that's why I think he is "unhealthy"

What champion is fun to play against when fed?

Somewhat of a rant, but that's only because the only time I have fun against this champion, is when he is on my team and ahead, or on the other team and behind.item 3070

Yi is balanced tbh. Just low elo dont pressure the map enough to not allow yi to farm to be powerful (like he is), Or they dont invade. Plus there are acouple junglers that just out-farm Yi. Jax, Shen (W = Jax E).

Who ever told you all that about Ekko was either judging him based on day one play or is an idiot. And Ekko is a problem even without the tank build. Simply too much utility and that fking ult... They removed Fiora's Blade Waltz because it was "unhealthy" and they add this sht? I just don't get it...

Bro, Mastery 7 Yi with 260k+ points on him. He isn't healthy he's just reallllyyy op sometimes. Try stunning him or focusing him. Team picking is very crucial in this game.

Unhealthy, you keep using that word... I don't think it means what you think it means. Or in that case, EVERY SINGLE CHAMPION in this game is unhealthy in this game whenever people play it well, because when they do so it's oppressive and there's not much you can do except playing extremely well yourself. And please don't talk about lack of counterplay, Yi has no CC whatsoever, he has 1 alpha strike and 1 meditate, spam him with hardcc and he's done for. He has a lot of ways to be played around, times where he is weak, times when he needs to farm and times where he is very predictable.

Also your argument about having to pick specific champions to win against Yi is just terribly bad. You can win with any champion against Master Yi if you play well, some are better, some are worse, and it's the exact same thing when facing other champions and some are way worse offenders. At least Yi isn't dominating in laning phase where you have to get a special counterpick or get destroyed. Just because you blindly hate the champion because of his apparent kit simplicity doesn't mean he's unhealthy
