First up on this list is Master Yi. Right, this guy MasterYi . If this man gets fed, he can demolish your entire team, and shred your tanks. I was in a game just recently with a Yi. I had a Warmogs, Randuins Omen, Sunfire Cape, and Thornmail, along with Mundo's super regeneration ult ticking on me. Guess how long it took the Yi to kill me? About 5 seconds. item 3083 item 3075 item 3143 item 3068 DrMundo VS MasterYi = INSTA DEATH

Our team had maintained a high gold lead throughout the entire mid game. We had pushed down their top lane to the inhibitor, and were winning teamfights. Then the Yi happened. There is nothing you can do when the tankiest person on your team (being moi) dies in a few seconds.

I think Yi needs some nerfs to his true damage, and possibly his ult. Along with Yomu's and a chilling smite, it is impossible to kill him in a basic attack war, ESPECIALLY because of the monstrous life steal he can get. Also, the only way to stop a fed Yi is landing a hard, lock-on cc. But since most cc's are projectiles and things that can be avoided by running, the Speedy Gonzalez Master Yi just Doesn't Care.

I understand that the Yi was incredibly fed, but in late game there shouldn't be any tank shredding going on when the tank is building directly against the fed player. I stacked armor, health, and health regen.

I also realize that player skill is part of this. But. Yi is not altogether a high-skill champion. You run up. You hit things. You walk away (if you don't get cc'd to oblivion).

Master Yi is broken!

Please respond to this thread with comments on whether Yi is or is not broken. Olaf

You had almost no CC so Yi could thrive. CC counters Yi's entire kit. Master Yi isn't very good (perhaps that might change with the new jungle item on the PBE).

it's almost like you picked a tank that has no hard cc or something
