Why has this champ not been buffed weak overall in every elo . 49% in bronze and no one in master tier in any major region as this champ as a main/common pick for them . He also is bad at everylane in the game his best is mid at a 45% winrate which is terrible .

Master Yi's game play is horrendously toxic. He goes from weak as shit to the easiest multi-kill champ in the game, assuming he isn't facing a wall of hard cc with no tank to help him.

Also...preseason

He also is bad at everylane in the game his best is mid at a 45% winrate which is terrible .

He's a jungler.

But his winrate is even poor on that . There are alot of champs who can multi kill with less real counter play look at twitch thats a champ who is good from bronze to pro level .

Twitch is a better designed champion. He isn't op busted in any realm, but he performs well because his kit has things like stealth, which is stronger in solo queue due to lack of coordination.

Yi, on the other hand, can't be slowed while ulting, runs super fast while ulting, scales fucking hard, and can dodge incoming damage with Q. To make him better for higher elos, he'd legit break low elo in two on practically any body part he wanted. When I make posts about champs like him, or Garen, or Teemo, or Kayle, or whoever, people down vote spam me and "argue", but then they catch feelings when they realize the cold truth: Older champ kits just need modernization if they want to be real contenders in the game without pissing off 50% of the community like Lulu does.

Twitch kit has far less counter play late game then yis he out ranges most skillshot champs even adcs are far out ranged there is no real way to keep track of him he also out scales yi in team fights since he can hit a whole team at once he is basicly stealthed yi once he gets to late game .

MasterYi NA jungle winrate is 50% in bronze. in silver and gold it is 49%... in plat and diamond it goes down to 47%

idk about you, but that certainly sounds like a balanced champion to me..

Everyone claims he is suppose to be a low elo stomper and its not true its also 49% in bronze and gets worse at higher elo to make this worse he is never meta and its usually one tricks with alot of games then you have champs who people will play champs that are meta and sit at over a 52% winrate in diamond with no real practice and out perform one tricks .Also how does that winrate work the meta has gotten much worse for him over the last year what is the time span for those rates ?

But it is true, the problem, is that every noobs and their grandmas play Yi thinking it will carry them out of bronze, what they don't understand, is that you actually need to be better than bronze to carry as Yi. Playing Master Yi won't magically help you climb to higher elo, you need to be skilled to maintain a high winrate with him.

But bad Master Yi are unable to maintain a decent winrate with him, they might get themselves fed in some games, but in other games they'll go 0/10 and feed their ass off as they are unable to play from behind, which ruins their winrate.

That was like his only strong period but he was only avg at around plat not rly good at diamond but then again that was every sated jger and cause of that meta even despite not being good in high elo got his highlander nerfed hard for splitting laning the duration by 3 seconds till the first kill .Also his E scales worse so unless you go full damage he is all around worse and on top of all this devourer is gone and almost all his items you want on him besides botrk have been nerfed while most other champs have been power creeped up to make up for the items .

When was Yi played competitively?

Are you really asking for buffs for a guy immune to slows with scaling true damage and resets? Why would you ask for that? Master Yi is fine. Much like Old Shaco he takes advantage of inexperienced players who just dump their CC all over instead of hardfocusing him to blow him up instantly. That's why he's considered a low elo stomper. Which he is. People in bronze/silver will whine and complain about him as they use everything on the tank instead of yi

Once again his winrate is not good even in bronze and no one plays him in high elo meaning he is not a low elo stomper unless the person is smurfing then every champ who can build alot of damage is a low elo stomper .Also alot of champs have scaling true damage he also needs to be immune to slows he is a yi melee champ with a single dash and 0 CC Also the reset mechanic on him is terrible compared to most the 70% is more then enough time after a kill to still cc him down and blow him up its not like kats who can instant jump after a kill and needs less items to be effective .

Master Yi needs his late game nerfed quite a bit if he wants to have a higher winrate. Winrates are usually determined by champ's early and midgame, so it is only natural he has a low winrate right now where lategame is hard to reach.

If Riot decides to buff him, he needs to have his lategame nerfed.

You can claim that on any champ if your good at them that builds damage items lol

yi is a weird champion. people (mostly in lower divisions from what ive read on the boards thus far) like to claim hes brain dead. in reality you have to be 2 or 3 times as mechanically skilled as your opponent to play him effectively.

ive seen very few yis who are agood enough to play the champion as more than a clean up bot.

He probably needs a rework. He's an older champ and outside of a number tweak, I don't see riot doing anything for him in the near future.

Is this a joke? Master Yi is the strongest soloq jungler out there in any tier below Diamond

3 Items and pentakill

3 items ? which 3 crit builds don't really ramp up till 4+boots the rageblade on hit builds don't do great at 3 cause by the time you get 6 autos they kill you your melee remember .Then again if the guy is 10-0 at 10 minutes i guess but thats any champ played decent .
