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

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.

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.
