Master Yi: Alpha Strike is ridiculous

Meepian·8/27/2017, 11:56:25 PM·3 votes·1,746 views

Master Yi's alpha strike ability makes him untargetable, and also immune to AoE damage, and his a ridiculously low cooldown. It is literally an "outplay button."

...he has an additional ability that makes him immune to CC as well. No slows, etc. So, the character is unstoppable and unkillable.

What I think about this can best be described by giving Alistair a box of bran muffins and a pot of strong coffee. This character goes back to the top of my automatic Ban list until he gets a rework.

Personally I think it's ~600 premigitation damage, excluding crits, is kinda insane for someone supposedly auto attack reliant.

"his a ridiculously low cooldown"

No man. You should check its CD first.

It goes from 18-14 seconds from spell lvl1-5. And Yi does not build CDR since his kit is heavily AA based. While Q's CD can be reduced by AA (1 hit = 1 second off CD) and refreshed through kill-assist AFTER level 6, none of it spells "ridiculously low CD" due to the conditional gating.

he can be CC'd during his ultimate, he just can not be slowed. Root, stun, charm, knock up, knock back, displacements, etc still work.

all ccs? if you see yi being picked don't go raka since her only form of hard cc is after quite a delay from a silence

for his q, he will appear at the first target he struck's position after it ends, if the target dies, he reappears where he casted the ability. time your cc, and he can't do a thing.

This to me always seems like an ability with more utility than should be on Q with a low cooldown. It outclasses quite a few Ults, and should probably be on R.
