Champion Updates to Yi

First of all, thank you for putting so much thought into the champions. Most of the updated kits I really like, but there are some champions that still really need a look. Master Yi is one of those champions that can break the game early. I will plead ignorance here, I don't intimately know the lore behind Yi, but this is how I'd envision the 'Wuju Swordsman'.

Yi should be played like a melee mage, not the auto attacking robot, that cuts you and the rest of your team down in 4 seconds flat, with double strike, a few auto's, alpha strike 6 times.. it's just terrible. Instead I see a hunter, an assassin among master swordsman, looking for opportunities to show his skills and prove and assert dominance. Coming from a blunt instrument like myself, these are just opinions based on how I see him. So laugh and make fun if you feel it necessary :). Note: Not all mechanics are outlined below, it's more of a flavor update as I don't fully comprehend the balance of these ideas, measured against the rest of what is out there. It's just to give ya'll a vague idea. My goal here was to create a kit that gave the players a reason to kill enemy champions a certain way, like an actual master of a discipline would exercise restraint in favor of showing off his superior fighting skills. Currently I think the mystique of Yi, is wasted on the auto-attacking nature of his kit and is boring to play and frustrating to play against. Players with high skill caps will be able to utilize varying abilities numerous ways. While I believe the core of Yi is unchanged from his current, this will play completely different. At it's heart, Yi excels at hand to hand and short ranged combat and utilizes brush to ambush surprise small groups of enemy champions and potentially retreat. His ultimate is as much of a challenge to Yi as it is to enemies fighting against him. Though this is in stark contrast to his design's currently, I respect Riot for their tasteful choices on champions and trust in the future that Yi will be a dynamic, balanced and interesting champion to play. This is completely unrelated, but Riot.. please adjust the mobility to Akali!! Consider dash mechanics that must pass through units or decayed energy regeneration for using all of her energy to escape.

If the marked target is killed by Yi, Master Yi may mark another champion, instantly gaining full energy and refreshing the challenge, but reducing the duration by 5 seconds each time.
