Calling all Yi players

Yi still feels like shit to me, though I was also lagging and as such died more often than I would have liked and had to build way tankier than I ever did when bruiser Yi was viable just to survive.

How does everyone else find Yi after the buffs?

The "buff" did nothing for his damage. Mid game guinsoo gave him way more damage than the + 10 true damage per hit.

Can't do damage. Can't CC anyone, doesn't have utility for the team, weak mobility. Yi is in a worse state than urgot

after removing devourer all they had to do was revert his highlander nerfs and he would have been fine. They have no idea what thye're doing over there sometimes.

Why am I getting downvoted for asking other Yi players how he feels after his buffs?

And yeah, highlander nerfs need to be reverted.

Master yi players? you mean people stuck in 6.7 when item 3124 Devourer was the status quo?

I liked him before the buffs and I don't really see a big difference but I only played 1 game

Still a bit bad, but not a contender for the worst champion in the game anymore. He needs another buff or he needs rageblade to not be a terrible item with nearly-useless AP on it. Once one of those happens he'll be in an ok spot again.

I still feel he is powerful. I go either as crit Yi or armor pen yi, both are glass cannon. Been trying to build bruiser but game ends way before. I have stopped thinking abt item 3124 and won't use till I find an item it can sync with.

Crit item 1419 - AA true damage with smite. item 3508 - Crit + Mana + CDR , I do sacrifice crit damage which I'm fine so that I an spam Q and R faster. item 3006 - item 3046 - MORE AS + Crit.. which means faster kill + more CDR. item 3139 /item 3072 - When enemy team lacks CC I get BT.

Armor Pen item 1419 - AA true damage with smite. item 3142 - Armor pen + AD + CDR + awesome 40%AS +MS Active. No need to PD anymore. item 3153 - A bit more AD+AS+lifesteal item 3006

As you see my build is never finished as game ends before that. What I want to try

item 1419 item 3071oritem 3074 item 3508 item 3111/item 3047 item 3046 item 3156 /item 3742 . This is not a high damage build but i don't need to wait for enemy team to use their abilities on someone else. My current strategy is to wait and act like a clean up crew. ( typical Yi) item 3071 - For Armor Pen +HP+ AD item 3156 - AD + Armor Pen + MR + surprise shield to outkill any mage. I get to ~1.8 AS with PD+Bloodrazor and i don't see any reason to build item 3006. No point in wanting to go all the way to 2.5AS unless enemy has Vayne KogMaw Teemo

Not sure how well item 3074 will be, but spamming it with 2 AS and hitting the tank + healing, while damaging the champs in back will be hilarious to watch.
