First, let's please keep this post civil. I don't want a shouting match, just honest opinions about this champion since I've seen him played a lot recently. I will try to keep all other part of this post unbiased except for the my opinion section. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

THE KIT

Passive

  • Extra attack after getting 3 stacks(stacks are gained through attacks)
  • Can crit
  • Applies on-hit effects
  • Triggers his Cooldown reset on Q
  • Does 50% of his AD.

Q

  • Range as long as every single ranged champion except Caitlyn ( and a few others like Tristana late game).
  • Makes him untargetable
  • Crits
  • Cooldown reset with autos,
  • Is able to attack immediatly after (b/c there is no end animation)
  • Brings him to his target.

W

  • Makes him heal based on how much health he is missing (120 minimum at lvl1)
  • Resets his autos
  • Grants a stack towards his passive
  • Pauses his ult and E duration
  • Reduces the damage he takes while channeling
  • But during this time he is unable to move or attack.

E

  • passively gives him 10% bonus damage on attacks while the ability is not on cooldown.
  • It's active allows him to do true damage with every attack equal to 25%)of his bonus AD with a flat damage value
  • damages with his Q.
  • (Every attack he does with this active does 100% AD + 10% Bonus AD + True damage (14/23/32/41/50+(25% bonus AD) )...

R

  • Passively reduces the cooldown of all basic abilities by 70% upon landing a kill or assist
  • Actively gains (30/55/80%) bonus AS
  • Multiplies MS by 25/35/45% (not bonus or flat MS this means that all MS from items gets Multiplied too)
  • Becomes Immune to all slows
  • Kills or assists add 7 secs to the duration

MY OPINION

I think he is Easy and too strong right now. Well let me rephrase that... I think he has a low skill floor and a medium height skill cap. He kinda dominates the enemy JG kinda like Lee Sin unless you are playing a Tank JG (Specifically Rammus). He doesn't have to many counters and he just does a lot of damage with no drawbacks besides that he can be stunned (but a lot of stuns are skill shots so he can dodge them with his Q). I personally think his kit has too much of everything. He has gap closers, true damage, attack speed buff, movement speed buff, heal, double attack, slow immunity, Cooldown resets, and and duration increases. It's just kinda crazy imo, and when he gets fed it's almost impossible to stop him unless he gets cocky.

Just want to point out much like Kata the removal of a lot of point and click CC as really benefited him, sure just "CC" him is pretty easy to say but hard to actually do nowadays.

Overall he is a feast or famine champ, powerfarming and waiting till late game really isn't an option nowadays, his ganks are relatively poor compared to most other junglers (even udyr). He is much like trynda, far to binary to be enjoyable to play against and those 1500 autos late game are sure fun to play against (yep not just him I know).

Well those are my thoughts

Yi will always dominate in low elo and be bad in high elo.

In trash-tier ELOs or in normal games, he dominates usually outside of heavy CC teamcomps.

In any sort of higher ELO, he's steaming garbage because he's literally one of the laughably easiest champions to shit on in the entire game.

He's fine.

if he's so good, why do my teammates flame me in ranked for picking him
