Lethality and Yi (May get ranty, take this all with a grain of salt)
I swear, this is just too much. Every game I look with a Yi now in either my games or a friend's games it's him building full lethality after a
and
and dominating after AFK farming.
You can't escape him, because of his speed, can't run because of his point and click Q which does more damage due to the lethality.
"Just CC him."
Yeah, easier said than done when he can use
and instagib people who can apply CC.
"Just build tanky."
You forget what Lethality does alongside the double synergy of
and
?
"Well...CC him when the edge of night runs out?"
By the time that's over he already has gotten a pentakill.
"Hide behind tower?"
Doesn't help, he can use his Q to stay alive while dealing so much damage with just one lethality item and sustaining off of his
.
"Hide behind enemy frontliners?"
Look back to my answer on the building tanky thing and his lack of being able to be CCd, it pretty much applies.
I can not stress hard enough how unfair and unfun this is to play against. Lethality in general was a pretty bad idea, so now because some champions are getting too much bang for their buck. Remember Lethality
? Yeah, that was pretty annoying to face, I believe it contributed to the revamp of
. But here's the thing, Jhin was at least fairly immobile and squishy to face without a Q that let him leave the game for 1.5 seconds or whatever the amount was.
But I suppose that is my opinion and others may find me completely wrong. Look, I don't mind Yi crawling back into the meta, but how he crawled back in piggybacking off of Lethality just leaves a sour taste.
Any opinions?
