My issue with Yi is....

Bellows··1 votes·533 views

Hes getting tanky again with NO END to his damage. I mean yi with just over 3500 hp and the same amount of damage hes always done just about. This is just toxic. There should be no tanky peeps that do a ton of damage. They dont mesh. You trade off tank stats for damage. Darius and illaoi dont count as they are not true tanks. You can still cut through their health like butter. They are just REALLY THICK sticks of butter. Where as Renekton, so terra bad. Early game infinite damage/sustain. Lategame, keeps most of the damage (only falls off a bit) but becomes a decent tank for the team. Atleast tankier than illaoi or darius. AND he has a stun. (he has SOME utility/peel)

Riot just needs to stop making tanky champs do a lot of damage. Period. Its not their ROLE. Garen wasnt mentioned, but he IS really tanky however AND he does stupid damage amounts. And with yall trying to be creative with champ abilities, I was uber disappointed when you basically kept his no skill ult the same.

TL;DR - Tanks are supposed to trade off damage for tank stats and/or utility. DPS - Trade off tank stats and/or utility for much higher damages.

THIS IS COMMON SENSE.

Yi wont get nerfed any time soon, because players in higher divisions know how to chain cc on him and because he has no defense abilities, you may zone, kite or as mentioned cc him effectively, therefore he needs to have stronger stats than other champs to make up for it.

Just having 3500 hp doesn't make you a tank. Just makes you beefy. If he built HP and damage his resistances will be low and he'll die to coordinated sustained dps

Bruiser yi is a legit build.

first of all you're using the wrong term,illaoi,darius,garen and such are not tanks,they're juggernauts,health stackers that are supposed to do a lot of damage but can be shredded easily,true tanks are way harder to kill than that. Point is THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BEEFY WHILE DOING LOTS OF DAMAGE because they are immobile and provide next to no utility now to the point,you're like what,4 or 5 patches late? Juggernaut Yi got nerfed quite a while ago not to mention without sated devourer and guinsoo's rageblade he's way weaker now (pretty much trash tier) and juggernaut yi,fiora and such were just champs abusing items at first,riot never intended for him to do tons of damage while not building it as for Renekton he falls off a lot late game unless he gets insanely fed early Late game his sustain isn't as effective as early game,his stun is single target and his dash isn't that effective unless you already get somewhat close for the 2nd dash or there are minions,his damage isn't that bad late game but it's not the best either

First half of what you jsut said was already stated. Although i disagree. Garen is a striaght up fukin tank. Hes not jsut beefy, hes a fkin tank. Super high hp AND resistances.

oh,I opened the thread when there were only 2 comments then went afk and typed this when I came back without refreshing,my bad xD also reason for that is him gaining resistances passively but in the end I think the other juggernauts contribute more than Garen so I guess it's at least kinda fine? like Darius can go on a dunking spree or do way more damage than Garen with his passive,same for Illaoi when having a lot of tentacles,Skarner contributes a lot more due to him having decent amounts of cc and morde........ he can get a pet dragon,that's cool I guess

Riots too busy buffing Anivia to worry about your problems :P ( Why she needed a buff is beyond me )

You know why tanks deal damage? Because tanks have been dead a long time, they get shot down in 2 seconds no matter how tanky they are. I once build a Garen full tank runes, masteries, everything and 0 damage. Guess what? He was useless because a pure tank is useless and dies almost as fast as a squishy. And I am talking about late game here, I know in early to mid tanks still somewhat exist.

Tanks need to have some damage otherwise their role would be completely useless. Why would anyone even pay attention to them until after the rest of the tank's team is dead?

The problem is that base damage is getting out of control. Some of that strength needs to be put into items.

This just seems like another "If it beat me it's op" posts.

On the contrary, we won. But its still more oppressive then it should have been.
