Is Master Yi going to be included in the assassin rework?

The bruiser build and melee carry builds have taken serious hits this season. Could be nice if they just reworked him as part of the assassin rework.

He isn't classified as an assassin, so no.

Actually he 'is' a Assassin/Fighter Champion.

Yet i would say even Yasuo should get a part of it as being a Fighter/Assassin, especially since the recent changes may of killed off his potential early game, it does not exactly kill off the tank build completely (since he only needs 2 slots to be Critical hit items), especially in late game. At the very least it feels like they need to bring in measures to curve back his late game so he has a more proper 'pathway' of when he is 'weak' at certain points of the game and when he is actually strong. Even if forcing his ultimate's bonus armor penetration to only apply to critical hits from now on would 'technically' not show much of an impact too in early game against early game since most people would not have that much armor(Except the tanks and sometimes the fighters which might normally grab HP items by standard like Black Cleaver, Rod of Ages, Rylai's Scepter, Tri-force, etc.) then and even in late game most 'standard, non-tank intention role type champions' would be stacking bonus armor unless the enemy team is mostly AD for their damage side, with no out'standing champions on the AP side to be a threat to require MR.

That's because riot removed the "Carry" term, put ranged adcs under "marksmen" and had to shove tryn, yi, yasuo, fiora, and GP into a random role.

They're really melee ADCs or as the new term has it "Skirmishers", they're far from assassins.

both yi and nocturne should be in the rework for one of the smaller changes, becayse their style of "auto attack people to death" doesn't really fit the theme of assasin.

Nocturn was an assassin but after the nerfs he was forced into bruiser like how reworked eve was. They did note they're going to try and fix that.
