So where are the Yi buffs?

He has been basically useless after they nerfed first devourer, then Rageblade and then his ult. Now with the fervor nerfs he loses 52 dmg on hit, his fast jungle clear speed will become rather useless because they are increasing the jungle camp respawn timers by 30 seconds, and Ghostblade (one of his core items) is losing its Attack speed on the active.

So I see 3 nerfs for him on the PBE but no buffs, what is Riot gonna do?

I am a Yi main and let me inform you that what you are talking about is bullshit.

Yes, Jungle respawn timers are increased by 30 seconds. The other thing that has increased is clearing time, jungle monster gold, exp, damage and tankiness. So not only does your full clear give you more than it used to, you can still permaclear even though the jungle timers have increased.

Then there's the fact that machete has been buffed, the on-hit aswell as the lifesteal. And we all know how awesome the synergy is with his passive.

The only nerf I can see is that Youmuu's lost its attack speed. That is made up by the fact that Maw is now a better item on him though, now that it gives CDR and now that Lifeline gives AD.

And now let's go over to the next buff. Fervor now gives AD per stack rather than on-hit, and while the on-hit was awesome combined with his passive, the extra AD synergizes really well with his Q and E ratios and synergizes even more with his crit build. The other buff in his masteries - Bounty Hunter now gives 1.5% extra damage per kill instead of 1%.

I'm not saying these buffs are huge but he's still far from getting nerfed again.

One of Yi's huge advantages was being able to permanently clear the jungle while other junglers could not do that which gave Yi a significant gold and xp lead. WIth those changes that won't be possible anymore because all junglers wil be able to permaclear.

Machete buff literally means nothing...you can clear the whole jungle till Bloodrazor just with Machete if you wanted to.

There is a reason why no one runs the crit build btw it is not as effective as the on hit build and I don't know why you believe the new fervor will change that.

Also I jungled against you on my main and completely destroyed your Amumu, so I don't know whether I should take your post serious at all.

Did you actually read through the changes. Being able to permaclear is a privilege now that literally every camp in the jungle has more damage and tankiness. Permaclearing got harder, not easier. Most junglers actually have to skip Raptors or Krugs because otherwise they'd die. And since they are skipping it and as you already said, jungle respawn timers are longer, they will have to wait until gromp spawns again before they can go for full clear round two.

You are just stacking bullshit on top of the bullshit you said before.
