To me the yi changes on the pbe seem like a massive buff and I don’t understand why they are buffing him. He needs a rework not a buff, but riot is just trying to make him even more cancer then he already is.
Beerstein2 votesHe's weak, at peak (bronze) he's 9th place in win rate (NA only, he's lower in other regions), and from there he drops off so rapidly that by the time you're near top players he's sub 40% win rate, and even higher he has literal 0 games played. 100% non viable.
Ilsubzeroll3 votesHe can stomp every single game if you can abuse him.

Tell that to the people that made the mistake of playing him in master+ rating that got a sub 40% win rate. If only they knew how to abuse him.
Ilsubzeroll3 votesno idea what you are talking about, no substance whatsoever
Pika Fox1 votesThe substance is players who are good at the game have 0 issue stomping yis who are also good at the game. Yi is not viable outside low elo. There is no abusing him, he is just straight up garbage.

Non viable.
Everyone champion should have a 49-51% win rate. That is viable. Just because a champ doesn’t have a 80% win rate doesn’t me it is not viable.

My b. I realized that after the fact lol.
Ilsubzeroll2 votesIt's the same with the recent Darius buff, like what are you smoking Riot
Onandaga2 votesThe rageblade changes are a massive nerf to him tho.

Galaxyburstz1 votesSaid in one of Phylol's videos that he released about Patch 9.9 or 9.10, confirmed to be released later this year
letsfeedtogether1 votesyou're forgetting. they're not trying to nerf him. they're trying to adjust hi,. dont forget the HUGE rageblade nerfes
ChaosReyn1 votesDon't forget the Wit's End changes that pretty much mean the rageblade nerfs aren't going to gut him like everyone thinks.
Rageblade changes will slow him a bit, and will slow Vayne a bit...it'll all but shut down some Varus and Kog builds and will mean that Kayle has literally nothing for early game anymore.
The issue is that they want to elevate him back into pro play (the last pro game I recall him in was pre-removal of AP Yi on AlexIch) and the solo queue players are once again left to suffer for the sake of competitive/pro play. I thought they were learning when they started lowering the damage a bit this season so tanks could be more relevant again, but they're still leaving some pretty ridiculous players high on their thrones while area nerfing entire groups to oblivion with item changes...I get rageblade, but I really don't understand the Wit's End change at all. It was underused, but a fine niche. I hope they revert it when they realize that adcs should have the old niche version back after the gunblade changes, but I know that's never gonna happen.
bluefire mark 21 votesWell the point of the yi changes is to nerf on hit yi, which is the uncounterplayable problem. And it does that. The ad on e removed helps. And the mult hit q pushes a crit build. (Or my lethality crit yi)
Pika Fox1 votesBuff for high elo, nerf for low elo.
