I find Master Yi really boring and non interacting ATM

When Riot announced the roster assassin update few months ago, I hoped Yi would get some changes. He is considered as an assassin, but works like a melee marksman. He have a lack of what defines an assassin (high mobility, rewarding elimination, tiny window of action...) and got some really basic abilities (even tho it's not a problem but still it bothers me a little bit). He have an extremely long window of elimination, rewarding actions with lesser risks and isn't as mobile as any other assassins. I really think he needs to get a minor update similar to Akali or Shaco, or maybe even a gameplay rework.

he always was, the atm is pointless here.

Yeah well, I wish Shen never got reworked. "He was unfun to lane against, no interaction, didn't trade enough and just farmed under turret all game" -> Nasus ???

I acutually kind of like the shen rework but whatever, nasus needs a rework too. or just delete him and admit yorick does what he does but way way better.

No way, Nasus is really strong now after his R buff. And the Shen rework missed the mark for me.. I liked the duelist part of Shens kit. and that pretty much got removed.

how so? his q (passive before) now does way more damage consistently instead of every so often and his w now instead of "here have a mini shield that eats up your resource pool like a monster" it's "you now take NO damage from auto attacks for this duration. and I ain't talking about numbers I mean they're both slow lumbering tanky bastards that slow you and chunk you to death and when they go in they either mean business or to take your tower out in a picosecond. except yorick is more interactive in lane because he doesn't have to press q at the minions until the 20 minute mark and his chasing tools are far more fair to play against than a permanent fuck you 99% slow.

Shen also had a ranged spell and could heal in a melee vs melee duel quite well. He is no longer deceptive with his duel.

one spam spell that didn't have its full effect until he spent a few seconds autoing and all it gave was a non stacking hp5, now gives a potential slow and combo into the rest of his kit with a good chunk of damage.

Yeah id rather have old shen any day.. I went from 2nd/3rd maining him to practically never playing him at all.

Nawwwww. You're playing master yi wrong in that case. Master Yi is THE best assassin, bruiser, and marksman and also makes for a decent tank with his meditate.

About his long window of elimination, his lack of multiple gap closers solves that.

I think they were planning on saving him for the class he spawned of melee carries "slayers". basically the cancer of league given bullshit base stats to compensate for their squishy melee status. hope the midseason rework is the slayer update, I was thinking it should be the support update but supports have been getting little bits to go with other updates so I'm happy with that for a while, new items are pretty bombastic.
