I actually see him more as a fighter. A very fragile fighter.

Sure.

Even with a Bruiser build, he's #27 out of 48 Jungle Champs when it comes to taking damage. Hard to call him legitimately tanky if he's literally below the 50th percentile.

PennsMar 3, 20163 votes

He doesnt take a lot of damage because he makes you ded with 4 auto attacks lel

Recent itemization doesn't change what he was originally intended to build

PennsMar 3, 20161 votes

But what he was originally intended to build doesnt change the fact that he builds tanky now and is not "fragile" at all.

NahuiMar 3, 20162 votes

Everyone can build those and be not a fragile fighter. Yi's design is fragile though. No natural tanky stats.

Well then http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/e6/Alpha_Strike.png/revision/latest?cb=20130929123049&format=webp very http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/6/61/Meditate.png/revision/latest?cb=20130929123051&format=webp fragile kek

Timing and CC is all it is. Wait for the alpha, CC the heal. Fragile.

As opposed to say Rammus and his defensive curl or Malphite and the bonus armor plus passive.

Or Voli and the passive. Kek.

Yeah but the difference is that they dont literally kill your adc with 3-5 autos. Im not saying hes a tank but he isnt "fragile" with his meta build

The only people building him full damage were bad bronze players.

He's a fragile champion who's been offset by the season changes. Here we have malphite who will build just about full tank and chunk your ADC 3/4 in one combo and do the rest if given a few more seconds. Or Voli who will chunk execute the ADC with that ridiculous bite.

At least Yi is required to build some damage items to be relevant.

Yi is meant to kill a target an move on to the next and the next like kat or akali. Thats whe he has the passive that he does and the reset mechanic in his ult

How did he get 3600 with just 2 health items ? item 3053 + item 3742 gives 900 health, that's not a lot

WenderwallMar 7, 20161 votes

voli needs health, MR item 3102 , item 3143 and that's it.

I'd say he is more something like a melee carry. Someone who is rather fragile,but if he gets ahead and doesn't get shut down by your team,then he'll kill everyone.
