Tank Yi Is Back

Just lost a game where Yi almost literally 1v9d. He went Conqueror Bloodrazor-PD-BC-Guinsoo-Visage-Steraks. We were completely incapable of stopping his split. Our tank Sion with Thornmail, Sunfire, Ninja, etc. was shredded in seconds. We couldn't kill him even with 3 players because he's a TANK on top of having probably the highest DPS in our game by a mile. It's just insane and not at all balanced.

CC was meaningless because he could W-Q and live through all of it. It's absolutely broken beyond belief. He literally runs into an entire team of our carries (who are not behind even... game was equal gold) and just doesn't care. Of course, his team helped a bit too but we basically had zero win conditions once he got some gold. No one could even survive under turret to stop his split and in teamfights, he could simply dive with zero fear due to his absurdly tanky but high damage build.

It's actually disgusting and this was near Diamond ELO btw. There is zero counterplay once he gets fed and that still seems wrong to me. Maybe if we had the perfect comp. vs Yi it would be different but it still shouldn't be just autowin. He was behind early.

3 full offensive items and 2 bruiser items isn't tank anything.

A Spirit Visage doesn't make you a tank.

Now. If he'd gone item 3065 item 3047 item 3742 item 3748 item 3022 item 3143

Something like that for a build, you might have a point on tank Yi. Because when Atma's was a thing and he just gained up to 105 AD from his E, this type of tank Yi was a thing.
