Patch 6.20 - Undocumented Master Yi Nerfs

Bhagswag··13 votes·3,186 views

Cowsep talks about how Master Yi got a nerf.

His Q cooldown no longer reduces when auto attacking invincible champs, like Kindred ult or Kayle ult.

It's inconsistent with the game because Ezreal and Olaf, both who have skills that reduce cooldown when auto attacking anyone, even invincible champs, do not suffer from this nerf. They will still reduce their cooldowns even if attacking Kayle in her ult.

riot is trash balancing the game around people not being able to deal with yi

what do you expect.

This change makes absolutely no sense. It sucks thematically, as Master Yi is clearly still attacking the target, and there's 0 reason for it balance-wise. Master Yi doesn't have crowd-control effects at all, so they literally taken the only thing he had to fight invulnerabilities.

I don't even play Master, but I do hope they will revert it.

does anybody actually give a shit?

no really.. who the fuck cares? yi sucks the life out of every match, whether he's on your team or the enemy's, fed or feeder... he's so easy to counter against, and boring to play with as an ally.

no one wants him

Can't say that I am upset, any time Yi is nerfed is a good day.

Then Ezreal and Olaf shouldn't work like they do.

it's working as intended, yi is a high risk-high reward assassin and as such he needs clear windows of counterplay, his damage needs to be toned down a bit and his snowball potential needs to be brought down to healthy levels.

Thats High Elo nerf, not Low Elo nerf. Makes no sense since higher elo players able to better deal with Yi. They don't even think he is Fun champion therefor pick him much less

I remember how people said that Shyvana sucked and then Riot decided to give her AoE to her basic attacks on her W. On Yi side it seems the opposite. I wonder WTF is going on at Riot

Well, in Ezreal's case it's because it's a skill, not an autoattack, autoattacks do not reset Ezreal's cds

As far as Olaf... yeah, that's unfair.

Yi is fine.

Stops Aatrox W too, sadly. Can't heal off invulnerable targets anymore.
