Pls get rid of his current kit altogether. If he does reach sated "which isn't that hard with super jungle routes now being a thing." He just figuratively and literally beats your character to death with his sword which feels more like a real life club! Does not belong in this game. Rito you love to preach counterplay. Rito do something about it pls.

Zoeeee1 votesI think yi was balanced in season 5 without devourer running around. He is ment to be a late game carry, and should have a kit to represent that. Most of the time an item makes a champion over bearing or oppressive. Stacking items are hard to balance, and having hyper synergy just makes it worse. I miss the old elder lizzard, spectral wraith, and ancient golm jungle items. They were all balanced around each other. As it is devourer sticks out as a sore thumb. Sated rageblade puts so many balanced champs over the top.
ModWulf Helhammer1 votesIt's really just rageblade. Last season even with devourer, he had to build glass cannon if he actually wanted to do damage (all devourer junglers did actually). But with rageblade, it provides him with enough damage that he can afford to go tanky items after it, so he gets the durability without sacrificing damage.
Playing glass cannon Yi is actually more fun, IMO. I've played a few games with a lane Yi, no rageblade. It's pretty fun, because you actually have to outplay the enemy with proper alpha strikes and meditation use, and they have a fair window of opportunity to CC you and burst you to oblivion
