Master yi needs alot of help in high elo

Atm there are no master tier master yis in any major region . Now i am a bit bias myself as a yi main obviously but i think this is a good reason to give him skill buffs more then number buffs . Yi Buff Q can be instantly on target by repressing Q but is no longer multi-target. Q can cancel dash but still do damage by hitting W similar to when a target dies . Next remove it where when the target you Q to a target that dies you get put back where you started now you would just be where it died . Q can Ward Dash Q can now have its cooldown refunded by 75% by hitting E but does no damage this can not be used with ward dash but can be used with Q

After Yi ults his first auto reveals that target with true sight for 5 seconds .

These are my ideas to let yi be more effective in high elo basicly the idea is to give his alpha strike a second type of cast during the untargetable phase and also give yi a way to assassinate stealth champs atm yi has a bit too much counterplay in high elo atm .Yi is a substain melee damage champ who is not tanky a bruiser at best . So he lacks burst which in high elo is hard to make work on a melee champ who is squishy the q change to make it instantly go onto someone rather then have the .5 second delay helps with this alot if i flank . Next he can't really lane he has no way to escape which is also an issue when jging why i am suggesting giving him the ability to ward dash and the ability to instantly Q to a target like a minion even to get away . Next basicly power creep counterplay against him most the new champs and reworks just have more cc and other mechanics to work against him the change to pink wards so they can't detect invis champs and his shortened highlander has hurt really bad why i suggest the first auto after he ults reveals that target for 5 seconds . Lastly the QW change lets him offer just a Bit of waveclear to his team without putting himself in danger . Now this may seem like alot of buffs but atm yi is not even doing well in low elo and most of these changes are just to raise his skillcap more and give the champ more and better options good example would be he can instant Q a target during a gank to gap closer faster before they get to there tower . But yeah this would be how i would fix yi for now .

He's never going to be viable without breaking low elo

The game shouldn't be balanced around low elo. They have the best counterplay of all: gittin' gud.

Never said it should, but it’s facts that any buff to Yi will cause the low elo community to go ape shit.

Every Champ played well is broken in low elo thats a carry twitch kat trist trynd yasou fiora akali . The whole idea yi is too easy is kinda silly as to why he stomps low elo which atm he is avg at best and gets out performed even there by alot of picks that also do well in high elo as well twitch strongly supports this and then you have champs like sona and soraka who perform extremely well and are easier to play less timing involved and more windows to be effective .

Hmm the buff I propose would be that

R: Yi gains true sight around his radius.

That is imo a pretty nice buff and will be a counter pick to stealth champs.

The thing about Yi is, when he snowballs, he does it hard. Late game he can one shot squishies, and giving such champ more outplay potential will just make him broken.

I think that's a little too broken against stealth. I made a comment above for a way to implement true sight into his kit without making him complete faceroll against stealth champs. Check it out.

Nah these are just a bit weird. I'm gonna repeat what I say everytime concerning Yi. He needs his ult reverted to previous state (10 s base duration instead of 7, +4/kill or assist instead of 7, total cooldown reduced) and MAYBE slightly more movespeed on it, like +5% at best. Small QOL buffs like this will help him up tremendously. Sure an antistealth would help him but it makes no sense seeing his lore/character.

Lore wise it makes alot of sense when he is highlandered if you read his lore he catches wukong who has invis when he focuses

With his 7 eyes? Huh maybe. But then it's kind of a situational buff, he'll shit on assassins but assassins aren't even meta lel

What if Yi while channeling meditate AND highlander together, gained true sight of his normal sight range?? :DD i think it would be awesome.

I have an idea that doesn't change his kit but gives him a buff against stealth champs! What if Yi while channeling meditate AND highlander together, gained true sight of his normal sight range?

It would add to his lore.
