Can Master Yi finally get an attention?

Do you know how deeply dumpstered this champion is? It came to the point where nobody wants him in team cause Master YI has NOTHING. No damage No survivability No cc No utility His kit is like 1/3 of any meta champion kit with 3-4x longer cooldowns. Can this champion get SOMETHING?

Thats the problem of Yi, he needs to build damage where things like Lee and Khazix got it out of the box.

Have you heard of Meditate?

You serious?

Yi's kit revolves around AA-ing people to death, and being the melee-range AD Carry makes you gold-dependent. Kha and Lee are different beasts altogether, and comparing them to Yi does none of them any favors.

The lack of utility and subpar ability to express skill are unfortunate aspects of Master Yi's kit, but until they rework him into a skirmisher, he's going to be very meta-dependent to be good=. He's not weak, per se, it's just that the game is too fast for him at the moment.

He's wrong about having no damage, but no survivability isn't untrue.

He's a late game champion in an early game meta. Of course he feels weak right now, but that doesn't mean he really is

agree, yi is pretty lacking in steroids when u compare him to similar champs with similar role like yasou, ekko, fiora, tryndamere, riven, irelia and vayne ( YES, vayne is a fukin RANGED slayer...i dont know why riot gave an ad slayer ranged aa on top of all her steriods ).

master yi is shit when khazix and rengar exist to do 2.5k dmg in 1 rotation which takes less than 0.6 seconds.

No damage? Eh....

Yi damage is mostly purely item damage cuz his steroids are weak compared to other slayers.

he needs ap ratios on his Q and E if riot wants to solidify item 3124 on him.

imagine MasterYi with builds that have item 3146 item 3124 ... sounds pretty good actually and not game breaking.

or make his E active total ad maybe ? it has a good drawback when its on cd after all so making it total ad its not too extreme.

His steroids are actually the best among melee carries.

+tons of as +On hit damage because 2x strike +true damage

Yasuo only has 2x crit and arpen. Nowhere nearly as good.

RAGEBLADE sucks on yi because if you build it you WILL overload on attack speed- Because you take as runes. The new botrk will solve that by losing 15% as, which is a good buff for rageblade yi.
