Master Yi has never been weak, especially in lower elos where he's actually played. The reason being, once he gets his 2 item powerspike (BORK and 1 AS item), he instantly becomes a far bigger threat than half of the fed junglers we care to name. I dont know how Master Yi came to be a weakling in high elo (where all patches are judged and created anyway), but something needs to change or be reverted.

Its blatant hypocrisy, honestly.

Edit: Im sorry that people take a simple opinion and dissolve it because of my poor rank, I should have known this community couldnt handle counter arguements higher than "youre Bronze, sit down" despite saying theyre far more intelligent. You got to earn your degrees before you say something intelligent, fam

NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT LOW ELO. Yi is one of the weakest champions in the game it's not our fault you cannot reach double digit IQ thought procces down there.

You've been bronze every single season friend. I haven't seen a Yi in higher elo in I don't know how long. You not understanding counterplay doesn't mean that he's always been overpowered, it just means you don't know how to play against him.

  • gets outduelled by many champs on equal feed, not the 1v1 god he used to be

  • mobility creep means nearly everyone kites you until highlander slowlander runs out. And to top it off, everyone and their moms have stopwatch to stall you out now.

  • can't kill tanks in the duration of Wuju Style unless ahead.

  • snowball reliant, weak early to midgame unless ahead - when games are decided by 10 mins. Actually, late game is equally bad because you can't nuke people with crit build when squishies build tabis, on-hit rageblade requires stacking where you'd get cc'd/bursted down before you can even apply the dps.

  • horrible in a gank meta where jungle spawns are horrible and some lanes are literally ungankable by Yi. You clear, there's no lane to gank, so you head back to your next spawning camp and wait for another 10 to 15 seconds.

  • no disengage on a champ with an assassin playstyle

Yi is only playable in the lowest of elos, and even there he has a low winrate. You can't say he's good. Please.

Yi is truely strong , you don't have to care about thise people in boards , they will just downvote you , Yi isn't weak , the whole game need nerfs anyway , buffing and buffing makes everything worse , if he is weak , then nerf the strong and make them equal.

It's not just Yi. I feel like everyone that is a melee carry took the big L with these runes. Even YASSUO the youtuber said that Yasuo is weak this season. And with Bruisers being the way they are. Let's just be real and admit that Melee carries are in a bad spot.

Sometimes Iw onder if riot is really bored out of their minds... Master yi is overpowered and nothing near weak.. I also wonder when in one patch they buff a champ and in the next patch they nerf him back hahaha

Just because you lost one game to an objectively weak champion (currently ranking as the worst jungler in the game) does not mean that champion is broken.

If a team has any cc, Yi won't survive
