Fuck Yi

Less than 47% win rate No cc No escape ability Squishy Little early game pressure

Terrible solo que champ

I dont wanna change your mind, because you are correct.

Extremely abusable early game (just watch for the level 2 power spike with red unless you're udyr/ww/jax) meaning you can shit on him and his team while he's waiting for his br/rageblade power spike. If his team is too behind, not even a rageblade/br Yi can salvage the game unless he gets a cleanup shutdown somewhere.

Post rageblade/BR - Yi is a duel god that you should never attempt to confront by yourself unless you can one shot or are 1 or 2 items ahead. Even if you can one shot, if he takes conqueror and HAS BOTH CONQ/RAGEBLADE STACKED - you will likely need to 2v1 him (or more depending on if he's fed) because Q+6 instant procs of his on-hits with conq buff is pretty close to a one-shot of his own. Same shit with any duelist that you typically wouldn't mess with anyway.

However, his win condition is having guinsoo's/conq stacked up. Conq buff lasts 3 seconds, meaning he's likely going to be slowpushing to stall out his conqueror's expiry. That's plenty of time for your team to plan an engage on him that he cannot win (or get an objective of your own). And he can't really teamfight either because he is still susceptible to burst damage from multiple people, and if he has to enter an unplanned fight, usually he won't have conqueror/rageblade stacked.

I can't speak for Lethal Tempo Yi because I don't run Lethal Tempo much. According to fellow Yi mains, it's a stronger squishy destroyer than conqueror Yi and apparently can teamfight. However, unlike Conqueror, it has a down time and is likely to be down when Yi needs it most. Also these Yi players don't play the stack juggling splitpush game like conqueror Yi. Meaning they will typically dive in and just get their LT a while into the fight, which means he does less upfront damage when it's still activating. You can nuke him then

Conqueror Yi players will stack, and usually only engage with their guinsoo's/conq is up so their upfront damage is pretty much burst damage followed by sustained damage that will outduel anyone. This is not easy to maintain, and if you force him into a teamfight without his buffs he's not killing much unless he's super fed.

The Yi that shit on you was a smurf: http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=elaleselacome
