I'm not saying Master Yi NEEDS a nerf or anything.. but

Him with Sated Devourer is pretty retarded just saying. Almost a 59% win rate on experienced Yi players, which is one of the reasons Jax was nerfed. This item is beyond toxic to the game..

Bring on all the QQ you suck comments, but I cant be the only one literally losing games 1v5 to this sated/rageblade full tank piece of shit. Yeah Gold 2 isn't "high mmr" but its not like we're bronze 5..

If other champions are nerfed for abusing items, why not him?

the issue I'm having with Yi right now is that he's supposed to be an assassin, right? But right now every yi goes sated/rageblade/titanic then tanky items. This still makes him able to assassinate anyone in under a second while not dying and being able to survive cc(which truthfully is his only counter)

And it isn't only yi going for the titanic hydra/rageblade build as an assassin, most assassins I've seen that are auto attack focused ( Nocturne , Talon , XinZhao , Jax , hell I've even seen Rengar , Shaco and Khazix pick it up and do extremely well) are being able to build really tanky while still having the exact same kill potential now.

In my honest opinion, item 3748 and item 3124 need some nerfs.

They could take rageblade and give it more hits to ramp up into the extra damage on hit, maybe make titanic hydra have no ad and give some armor instead, anything to make it not such a powerful item for assassins to get to have 3k+ hp while doing 3k+hp damage in under 2 seconds.

I mean, item 3748 item 3124 are pretty strong without sated forsure.. But i dont think nerfing those items will make yi any less bullshit.. The thing is item 3931 alone gives MasterYi a crap load of all 3 damage types.. Magic.. Physical.. and an enormous amount of true-damage.. So you can't really itemize against him. Not even item 3053 seems to help.

yes he will still have damage, that's not what I'm saying. Titanic hydra allows MOST assassins now to build tanky while doing the same, if not more, damage than just a straight assassin build.

Honestly, I'd be happy to see a Rageblade Master Yi; at least he's still easy to burst down.

Bruiser Yi is significantly harder to kill. MasterYi item 3006 item 3931 item 3748 item 3053 item 3742 item 3156

MasterYi item 3124 item 3931 item 3053 item 3742 item 3156 / item 3102 and this is squishy to you?

Average game length is ~33 minutes and average per-champion income is almost exactly ~11,000 gold. Which works out to roughly 3 major 3k items, 1k in boots, and 1k in the bank when someone's Nexus explodes.

item 3124 item 3931 item 3053 is ultimately 2.5 offensive and 0.5 defensive items within a 3-major item build.

Half a defensive item still very much means a squishy champion. It's also pure squish for the first 2/3rds of the game: and as there's a big power spike on completing items, pretty much 100% squish until that 3rd item is finished.

Listing a 18,000 gold value build capable of allowing a purple-caster minion to 1v5 is ultimately pointless as such a build is only realized in 1/5 games on 1/5 players for the last 1/5th of the game. Such a build also means you lack the power to end a game at the standard 3 major items: making it counter-intuitive when arguing it's omnipresence on a particular champion as being anything but UP.

Uhmm.. He builds rageblade then full tanks.. Not easy to burst at all. "just cc him" Sure, then u have to cut through all his res. and health with a steraks, and if that wasn't bad enough he has his W to reduce damage as well.

Master yi has always been a strong duelist, i'm not argue these facts. He's been good at clean up as well, but now he's able to initiate and just literally 1v5 the entire team, exhaust does very little to stop him once he has a defensive item.
