im sorry for making this one big paragraph with typos galore, but im requesting some love for one of my favorite champs MasterYi who has fallen to the bottom of the barrel and has pretty much become a joke, with all the other champs receiving reworks and buffs and whatnot. so im just gonna name a few things that are wrong with him that could be easily fixed. i miss old yi, one simple change that could be made to make him the sexy beast he once was would be to give him his old passive back. i like his new Q, but the range on it is much shorter than it used to be. the problem with his new passive is that u lose the stacks when out of combat, whereas the old passive could retain it's stacks which gave him one of the most (if not THE most) dps in the game at lvl 1 and 2. u could leash your jungler, leave your stacks at 5 or 6 then go to lane and SUPRISE!!! and exceptional duelist he was... u would think for a champion with the word MASTER in the title, he could be somewhat viable and reliable, but when was the last time u saw this champ anywhere near lcs? i know u have your favorites... those same 12 champs you see picked or banned every single game.Blitzcrank Sejuani Vi Zed Morgana Jinx Katarina Nidalee Yasuo Fizz RekSai Leblanc anybody else sick of that yet?? anyways... im not asking u to make him lcs worthy, i know he'll never recieve THAT much love. but think about it, when feral flare came out he was pretty damn good! we might have seen him played in championship games if it werent nerfed and eventually removed, followed by all the jungle monsters receiving buffs. OLD YI WASNT OP! HE WAS PLAYABLE! as for his new wuju style, this may seem like a buff to the naked eye because it deals true damage, which is pretty good if u dont get cced and whatnot. however, TRUE DAMAGE DOES NOT CRIT OR APPLY LIFESTEAL! ive been wanting to point this out for quite some time, but i figured eventually somebody would realize this and give him the buff he deserves. as for the new ult, sure its cool that it extends the time if u get the kill, which is good because u wont have to cast it again and be super mana hungry like he was before, but if u had the blue buff like you should, it wasnt really a problem and it was more worth it in the end. i personally like the new version of the ult, but every other change was an undeniable nerf. people say it takes no skill at all to play yi.............. theres a word for those people, and its BRONZE. this is a champ that nearly every other champ in the game counters, and i wanna see something done about it. not only that, but he's a veteran ffs! one of the oldest champs in the game. and when was the last time he got a shiny new skin or something? Rito plz just stop reworking all my mains. give the ionian samurai some love so that if he goes 0/2 in the jungle it's not an ff@20.

To be fair, while Yi certainly is not "broken piece of shat" that some part of the community would lead others to believe, on the other hand, he imo is not weak either.

He is just a very selfish champion who needs a lot of teamwork catering to him to make him truly shine.

And really what is preventing him to be actually good and competitive is that the game has too many overloaded mobility creeps, same with the amount of cc this game is growing to have.

EDIT: Also as far as I know, Master Yi's theme is China if I am not wrong, instead of Japan which is Yasuo's theme. He is a wushu master who specialises in blades, but not the same as being a samurai.
