Can this champion gets some love? Nobody even dares to use him even against bots and hes sharing bench with Galio, Yorrick and Urgot. You cant even kill anything before ult duration ends to get a reset and damage is pathetic over course of every stage of the game.
PhDs Nuts4 voteslol if Galio is considered weak, I can't wait to keep abusing him after the buffs you're expecting.

People consider Yorick to be weak too, and although he's probably not quite as strong as Galio, he's still pretty god damn strong. I've carried a few games with him.
Defended3 votesMaster yi deserved the nerfs he got. Its hard to balance true damage + tankiness, I dont see how anyone can disagree.
The champ was building 1-2 damage items and full tank but doing more damage then vayne proccing her W every One auto.... Thats just the honest truth
Marshbouy1 votesdevourer guinsoos titanic hydra boots. win
PiVoRx3 votesYou wat mate? In what league? http://champion.gg/champion/MasterYi/Jungle and still 48% win rate.
Marshbouy1 votesdid you see the word, was in defended comment? did you? did you play during the bruiser yi meta? did you?
PiVoRx3 votesThere is a long lane of champions that does same or even better but still wasnt dealt with. And this was only viable build for YI cause if he dont build tank hes lifespam is as long as Q animation.
Marshbouy1 votesyou weren't there for bruiser yi, were you? He was incredibly cancerous. He had a stupidly high win rate, even at high elo's where peeling people and CCing them is commonplace. He was too powerful.
PiVoRx4 votesAlot of shit was powerful back then, but only Yi got 3 nerfs in a row along with his items, right now he has no real build to go.
Marshbouy1 votesa lot of shit, thats a really stupid and nebulous term. he still has a build. Full crit, lifesteal, tank shred, ETC. The good ol bruiser yi build still works, just less insane damage.
Sightless663 voteshe still has a build. Full crit, lifesteal, tank shred, ETC.
And no matter which one he chooses, he's still terrible.
Realistically though, he doesn't even really have good options. He's still locked into Bloodrazor, BoRK, tanky AD. Full crit is fun, but it's almost always worse than the tanky on hit unless you're far enough ahead that it doesn't really matter what you build. Lifesteal drain tank builds are even worse: that build can't even claim situational viability. It's just 100% bad 100% of the time.

There isnt many other champions that did the same thing.
There were 2 champions that were 100% plaguing league during that Yi meta
it was
Both were able to do 1v3s No problem. Sated devourer + guinsoos into full tank.
Back when Sterraks and maw were seperate passives.
Master yi did WAY too much damage and was WAY too tanky...
He still is the same way... Ive played with a few good master yis
Marshbouy2 votesNot sure if trolling, or really, really stupid.
ShinkoMinori3 votesAre you saying a diamond player doesn't know how to play? what rank are you? Oh Silver 5
Marshbouy3 votesthe classic "but ur rank is low" argument. Did you read this guy's post? Do you know anything about master Yi?
Do you?

Get in line scrubyi
NotSpecialDude2 votesAt least he an't 
Marshbouy1 votesthat is very very true. inb4 OP says that aatrox is better.
Sightless661 votesIf being better than Aatrox was our standard for needing help, we'd never be able to buff anyone.
Valexfor1 votesYou are indeed right, but Yi is perfectly fine like he is. He does what he's supposed to do: insane damage but dies to everything if hard cc'ed, like he always did and always will do.
Sightless662 votesYi is perfectly fine like he is.
I'd strongly debate that. Following the nerfs last season both to him and to his itemization, he isn't doing well. His damage is low enough that he's unable to do his job effectively more often than not, and the nerf to highlander's reliability isn't helping that at all. On top of that, his design is fucked because he's more encouraged than ever to build very tanky because he doesn't synergize with any damage items except BoRK and bloodrazor. Being tanky to make up for not doing enough damage shouldn't be a primary goal of his build.
He's not good at any level of play. He's barely acceptable at low level play, actively bad at high level play, and as close to unpickable in master+ as any champion can get. That's not good.
My suggestion would be to buff Rageblade for melee champions. It's currently so bad on melee champions that it's a trap on every melee champion except maybe Xin. Buffing that to the point where Yi can use it would give another full-damage item to Yi, buffing him and moving him closer to his ideal design.
NotSpecialDude1 votesuntil they decide to aatrox some love at least.
Maximum Morde1 votesYi is still too strong. We should nerf his autoattack down to 10 range to be sure.
Ok sure but why1 votesI used to think like that. That's why I go full crit Yi, with nothing but Bonus Crit Damage runes.
Blåbæret1 votesGalio weak lol.
