So basically as Cowsep is pointing out, Bloodrazor is completely horrible compared to Sated Devourer in every single way, plus the new even more expensive Rageblade has soo much AP that isn't really used by Yi (only on W). Any chance we can at least revert the Highlander nerf since Yi's about to be Sejuani'd?
We've got a number of Devourer building junglers we're planning to look at once 6.9 has been out for a week or so, see how they've been affected and whether we should look at making changes to them given the new environment. Yi's one of those champs.
Of course Bloodrazor isn't good compared to Sated because Sated is so horrendously broken on him
You're crazy if you think he's gonna get Sejuani treatment.
This new enchantment is basically going to be his Blade of The Ruined King which is typically Master Yi's first item if he is in lane and not jungling.
So it's still going to be a hella lot effective, it still has the attack speed. So basically once he gets rageblade, he will still destroy people.
I feel like people aren't realizing the entire thing about Yi and Sated was the attack speed and the fact it made his true damage INSANE. He destroyed anything and there wasn't much the enemies could do but build health, which was then chunked by the BotRK he'd have after the sated. They decided to make it to where he instead gets 3% max health per hit as phys damage.
Honestly, I've already tried him on the PBE and he does perfectly fine. In fact, tank killing is hilarious. Bloodrazor does quite a lot of damage and it's enhanced by armor pen, which also enhances BotRK. The only actual loss here is Rageblade which has been causing many issues with Irelia and Jax on top of Yi. Just get a decent build like Bloodrazor->BotRK->Ghostblade if enemies aren't building too much armor or you're able to get to their backline, or go with Lord Dominikk's so anyone who has health items gets to be murdered because you'll have 3 items that say 'HAHA, SCREW YOUR HEALTH ITEMS'.
I'm a bit sad because my friend used to jungle with master a lot, but honestly I'm just glad the devourer/guinsoo combination is gone... I hope to god the new guinsoo won't be too strong.
If I never see another master yi, it would be too soon.
