So yeah, please buff Yi

Yo,

I was a fed Yi who confidently went to duel the enemy Lee Sin in mid game reaching late game (28 min 19 sec into the game) who was slightly to moderately fed,

and I died,

4 shotted by the Lee Sin from his QERQ combo alone almost instantly,

when I had used my ulti, my rest of the kit, BotRK-active, Hydra-active, Heal (Summoner Spell), and I had another BF sword sitting in my inventory,

and I barely got him to half health.

................

Can we buff his damage or something? It makes no sense to have a guy whose only saving grace is potential late-game damage, and who actually doesn't even have it when he gets there.

Please buff Yi.

Lee can 1 shot squishies with his kick + double Q... I wouldn't fight him without armor. The only way to kill him with Yi is: crit build, so you burst him before he bursts you or semi-tanky with armor and on-hit items, but he will probably run away with a dash over the wall or kick you, then run.

That's absurd yo, since most ranged ADC's late game is like 2-3 items in, why so long for Yi, who's melee?

Not to mention, anyone is powerful and OP when full build like that, doesn't that just mean Yi is not only practically but also theoretically useless too?

Not cool man.

Riot please buff.

2-3 is mid game 5-6 is late i believe depending on farm

No, that's how lategame hypercarries work. An ADCs 2-3 items make them strong, but not into the hypercarry they are lategame. Not everyone is powerful like that since Yi has higher DPS and has a little burst unlike someone such as Darius who struggles to get close.

I think we should nerf Lee instead of buffing Yi

Yi also has buffs on the PBE. His buff is that when he does his channeled heal thing, it will freeze the timer on his Wuju Style and Highlander for the duration of his heal if they're active.

Well I guess that's something, though I'd like some direct but slight early-mid game damage buff though. But hey.

a fed yi is just broken. i main katarina and i have had so many fed enemy yi's who kill me without problem. you just need to learn that your Q is not only for attacking but also for denying CC's and stuff. play yi correctly and you will just need to basic your way to penta in late game lol
