What the actual fuck is riot doing? Highlander (R) " Master Yi is ghosted (can move through units) during R" Yi is literally one of the last champs that need this, or any sort of buff/positive change. Why do you remove even more counterplay from a champ that barely has any. And no "just cc him" is not counterplay.

I mean to be fair "just minion block him" was never the most fair and engaging counterplay against Yi.

Because he is useless in pro play but god tier in low elo. It’s like Loki from smite.

Shhhh his ability to vaporize opponents is not unbalanced...….

He's already immune to slows, this is just overkill

It's a pretty miniscule buff that you would never notice while fighting him.

I actually don't mind this as it is a sort of band aid fix for how bad creep block has gotten.

They could, ya know... fix creep block instead.

I'd ask they remove the 70% cooldown reduction passive on his ult whenever gets an kill or assist because the Cooldown of his Q is already from autos and phantom hits. Because item 3124 exists he has 2 phantom hit sources plus autos, he doesn't need even more CDR mechanics on top of what he gets from his Q. This would also put some meaningful downtime on his E, which basically a free item 1038 at max rank.

figures.

Just had a game where I counter jungled the ever-living fuck out the enemy Yi as J4, dude was 0-5 at 12 minutes. Is 5-5 by ~18 minutes, and even though I buy thornmail as my third item it doesn't matter because guinso + bork is unstoppable. He ended up with 20+ kills and we were steamrolled. Glad riot is helping this poor, underpowered champ out

my only problem with yi is that he makes me regret stacking armor against him, its not like it makes a difference.

Not sure why people r worried about this. Whether yi was strong or not b4 isn't really important, this change is kind of irrelevant. Champ could already jump to people with Q's, so creep block wasn't really a big problem for him while ulted anyways.
