Master Yi is horrendously weak right now. Please throw him a bone or talk about him in the upcoming divers rework please, Riot :(

He's my favourite champion.

Yi isn't weak, hes actually cancer af to face. Especially in low elo, u could probably solo carry your way with him from bronze to gold, just afk farming, and showing up 30 minutes later.

"Cancer to face" is no argument for letting a champion rot. All the extremely in-meta champs are cancer in their own way.

He's honestly in a good spot atm. He is high risk - high reward to play. That means he isn't going to be super consistent, but when he gets a few kills, he is definitely going to pop off

Being cancer to face is the exact reason riot let many champs rot until they were reworked.

Cowsep would like to have a word with you...

You mean the Yi main who's also saying that Yi is weak?

It's undeniable

Chalizard1 votes

He is strong af but kinda out of meta. Buffing him is unnecessary.

Minaho1 votes

He has no strenghts left. He's not even the best low elo farm jungler or duelist.

Just leave. Now its time for a mastery 6 yi main to take over.

FIrst of all, NO.

He's perfectly fine, doing better than other junglers and getting really good ganks even though he has no CC. He already has the ability to 1v1 the enemy top laner, unless its a Darius or Malphite/Maokai. I won't like it if Riot really listens to you and buffs him, because then he will be more complained of than Yasuo.

Then he will probably get alot of his arsenal gutted, thanks to someone like you.

TL;DR he's fine and you need to shut up or he wont be fine

EDIT: Not to mention your Yi Ranked Draft game. This is just a post for nothing. What YOU want is Devourer back. And even I hated that thing as a Yi main.

I wouldn't listen to a guy who has a KDA below fucking 1 on all of the champions he plays in ranked lmfao. http://prntscr.com/cnbdzm

Yi is fucking useless right now, this is coming from a Level 6 Master Yi main who plays in high Platinum.

What's with you and rank shaming?

Every thread, it's you linking someone's op.gg and calling them bad, regardless of what the purpose of the post actually was.

Contribute something useful, or just leave dude.

This section of the boards is about gameplay. In order to provide a useful contribution about the gameplay of this game you should atleast be decent at the game. Hence why you shouldn't listen to people who suck at the game.

It's weird, it's almost like the gameplay applies to you regardless of rank, because you're playing the goddamn game.

Also weird, it seems like well over half of the playerbase is in this group of players that you love to shame.

Kinda seems natural that the players that make up the majority group of people that play the game should be able to give their input without being put down by some sadistic douchebag on the internet.

I'd also like to note that you're using a throwaway smurf account to post because you don't want anyone to know who you really are? Too much of a bitch to own up to your own fuckery?

Buff Jax please1 votes

Sadistic douchebag lol. So now telling people they are low rank makes you a sadistic douchebag, First of all its the truth and second why would that be sadistic? Not like the rank in a fucking game matters anywhere outside of this game...highly doubt anyone even feels upset about that.

They can give their input but if its shit I will tell them.

I have posted my main account a lots of times today already, I will do it again for you.

Why don't you post with that account then? Is it because you know the kind of shit you pull is unacceptable and Riot will call you out on it if you do it enough?

Just stop dude. You aren't cool for being a dick to people.

Hi there, I'm also a Mastery 6 Master Yi main.

Yi is bad right now. He's doing better than other junglers?

http://champion.gg/statistics/#?roleSort=Jungle&sortBy=general.winPercent&order=descend

Could have fucking fooled me. The only champions winning less than him are either non-meta troll pick junglers (like Mordekaiser) or other junglers who were nerfed to put in the dumpster, like Rek'sai or Gragas.

Really good ganks? His ganks are okay only if your lanes can follow up with good CC, but this is true of any jungler. He doesn't have near the ganking power of a Zac, Lee Sin, Elise, or even Graves. His early game is still bad, but this would be okay if he were allowed to actually scale. Nope. While his damage with a bunch of items is still very good he still is a free 300 gold dispenser to the grouped enemy team in a team fight. A champion who can't team fight can't carry late game.

His 1v1 potential is still good, but it's a lot less than what it used to be, especially in the early to mid game. Now that Highlander's duration was shortened his dueling is actually a lot worse. He's also not a particularly good duelist unless he builds some bulk, only Rito made it harder to do damage while building durability.

Yi is bad right now.

Yi would have to be reworked otherwise he just doesn't fit balance wise. Some people still have PTSD from times when Yi was actually strong in a meta.

Great Muta1 votes

He's good, but he does suffer against early gankers and he doesn't work well with group CC. He can take down anyone in 2-3 shots and is still super fast. I got my first penta in ranked ever with him the other night.

Isn't Yi more of a skirmisher/slayer than a diver?

It's not that Yi himself is weak, it's that his build is now since they took out devourer. I'd suggest try playing tryndamere since he does what Yi does now but better
