So why was rageblade and yi nerfed? Did he all of a sudden become the pick/ban for LCS and 100% Wr?

Riot i don't really understand why Yi was nerfed because he isn't a problem at all. He is weak in the early game, he is feast or famine, and he is melee with 0 escapes. He only won with a bit over 50% winrate at low ranks because for the fact that people are not coordinated and they all play for themselves which is a great hunting ground for Yi. But believe me this isn't always the case, sometimes they stick together and ward so then it just feels horrible because i have no damage. I would prefer if you revert the passive AD removal on his E.

It has literally lost its style/interaction and my ad is so weak early on. It makes him really more so boring without his attack speed and E ad that you removed.

This magnitude of nerfs just doesn't have any relevance. Its just an attack on master yi basically. He is not broken and he is only good if they have no idea how he clears and play greedy/independent without wards/vision. He feels so weak early game so any meta jungler can go to him with the mid laner and ruin his day with 5 deaths so that he will never actually get the items that you have nerfed.

Riot let me ask you this, if I wanted a good build for a champion then would i go to a riot api stats website and look for the highest winrate silver build or platinum+ build? under platinum+ is just not relevant competitively like you can't just say annie is broken officially because everyone would disagree since she may preform well in bronze elo but that is not a good balancing ground.

I'm telling you in silver they play greedy and go only for kills, people trying to get gold would play for objectives instead of kills so why would you nerf things that hurts only people that haven't learned how to play league of legends most properly yet?

Frustration is not a thing in league of legends, the reality is when one is killed in a certain way in low rank then they can't really think outside the box and see the events that lead to them getting killed but instead to make themselves feel better or as a "defence mechanism" they will sit there and call something broken because they died to it. This heavy feeling in the head of the player is them unable to realize what they had wrongly done in game. Key words is EGO and "pride".

People in silver believe that if you can't 1v1 master yi that means you cannot win against him but again this is a 5v5 game and they let him farm all game to aquire the items he needs right in the open with no wards. How did he get those items? What did you try to do in the early stages of the game to stop him?

If you cannot answer those questions with you leading the charge then you are not playing league of legends at the level that you need to be able to counter yi.

LETS STOP BOOSTING: Also believe me in silver sometimes people ward everywhere and they know my jg timers, play remarkably safe and know what their doing which leads me often to believe that them being in silver is just insane.

I don't know if this is a smurf or boosting but in solo/duo queue when you see 5 people coordinated and very insightful together in ''low ranks'' then that just doesn't make any sense and rather unfair. Why can't solo queue be 1 only that would stop duo boosting and leave flex for flex.

I find master yi one of the most disgusting champs and i ban him like 90% of the time.

No. What he did do is dominate 8 out of 10 games below Platinum. And still does, so nice job with those nerfs, Riot.

All good points. The problem is that it's not 1v1. Yi consistently wins 3v1 after 18 minutes or so. Granted, all this could be solved if people would spare 800 gold for Executioner's Calling, but they don't.

Not really arguing against or for Yi nerfs as while a fed/farmed Yi is annoying to fight especially if they can time Qs well they can still be itemized against via morellonomicon, bramble vest, and executioner's calling, but I do want to nit pick on his lack of escapes, as you put it. While he has no controllable dash or blink like a lot of champions nowadays, he does have R which grants slow immunity and a hefty MS boost as well as a Q that can be used to dodge skillshots and maybe, using wards and jungle creeps, able to jump over walls (not sure on that; jungle or even Yi are not my strong suits).
