He will always be OP because he needs to appeal to the weeaboo crowd. All these "blind monk, magic ninja, dishonored samurai" chars are left strong so the crowd of younger kids who eat up that naruto sh*t or whatever the hell can play a strat game likes its HALO. Why do you think he has a skin released once a month. Because the weebs pay money for it once a month. Do you think a kid who wants to live out the fantasy that he is Goku wants to feel just as vulnerable as any other character on the map?

lmao if he's so OP you go play him and get to diamond you little brat, he's 450 you have no excuses.

Yi is a unique jungler and perfectly balanced. If anything he is on the weak side. And he takes quite a bit of skill to use properly.

You saying that in 5 years, they havent nerfed yi?

At all?

ok.

Meditate used to scale with his max hp (10% per second max rank) Highlander used to be a basic ability, with an 8 second duration His passive used to be "15% chance to deal double damage on basic attacks", which was NOT crit, so you could get lucky and deal 500% ad (ie crits) on one auto.

This, however, was alpha yi.

Seasons 1, 2, 3 Passive was a reliable double damage on every 7th auto. Can still get 500% ad crit, but needs to wind up a bit and still get lucky. Q can be built AP to get a pentakill by tapping Q W has a 400% ap ratio E gave him bonus damage based on AP, tripled when active (which can be brought to a total of 600% the passive damage on one auto from using it with double strike)

Dont complain that they havent touched him.

He has gone through two major reworks in his lifespan.

Played as khazix a match ago. I was 12/3, master yi was 11/12. Why did I get erased? he had sated devourer.

I am a shit unranked player that can barely play this thing and i rarely lose to Yi (Or at least, i rarely lose games where Yi gets fed enough to do his thing).

So removing the reset on an ability isn't a nerf? Mind explaining how?

do you even remember ap yi?

lol yi was garbage before riot released sated devourer this patch, his winrate is at 47% at that time... hes only good in bronze and silver just because no one knows how to deal with him, and you rarely ever see people play yi at high ELO's while they see him as a trash champ

but now that sated devourer had made him viable again...

Yi, doesn't need to be needed or changed. Don't get me wrong I I think he's a stupid champ. However, all it takes is a little CC and he is dead. The only problem with this is in lower elos where people don't understand teamfights that well.

Except for Tank Yi, who can still Penta your whole team and live through everything via lifesteal. 20 seconds of CC? Yi don't care.

So he got his passive, W and E nerfed a bit in past few months, just imagine if they weren't. You would have quit LoL.
