Why am I not able to play my main?

I've been a Master Yi main for a while now. I know I know pretty rage inducing champion but I love playing him. I've been playing him since season 4 and into season 6. I have 104k points in him, and for some reason I cannot do well with him AT ALL period. I have not had a single good game with him for months. I don't understand what happened. I still hear he is like the best jungler in the game and I can't understand what is going on. I have been playing him consistently and I play almost every day. I always get caught, and cc'd to death. I'm never able to get sated quickly or anything. I have put so much work into this champion and I really need to know what is going on. Does anyone have similar experiences what can I do?

That enlays the problem...sence Yi has become one of the most powerful junglers people tend to pick champs that can lock him down. Sure he can't be slowed while his ult is up but if the enemy has no CC your gonna melt them. So when it come to a team fight with a Yi involved they don't focus the ADC they focus the Yi, cause right now he's a bigger threat than ADC.

It's not that your doing bad it's the simple fact that Yi can get a penta at lvl 6 so...yah he's just more focused on now.

LoL, it's true, whenever I see a Master Yi in game he becomes the primary target in any fight. It doesn't matter if he is first to enter the fight or the last to enter the fight. It doesn't matter if he is low health or full health. It doesn't matter if he is fed or not. He is the primary target. Basically, the threat that Master Yi has in the game is so high that any successful strategy has to be organized around how to deal with him first.

The biggest threat is the first one I try to kill.

Lux mid, malphite top, and Nautilus supp (or reverse top for naut) these 3 champs if their abilities are timed right can lock down Yi and he can get dropped pretty quick like :)

Too bad they are consistently picked

Ya I was so successful until people just kill you whenever they get the chance. I have had entire teams use their ult on me.

What do you recommend doing I have put so much time into this champion how should I continue to play if he is that shit on constantly?

In all honestly there isn't much you can do about them focusing you.

The only real thing I can think of is to flank them. In most cases the ADC and other squishys hang out in the back line, if a team fight happens, veer off into the jungle and come from behind. This will be a surprise attack then you can melt the squishys while the ADC bursts down the tanks from your front line.

But as YOUR play style try anything that works. But like I said YOU can do nothing to stop them from focusing you, it's a sad truth I know but it is what it is.

Yi needs to be built differently than before. Try getting items like Maw and Sterak's after you get your rageblade and devourer and you should be able to do well with him. If you build full damage you're probably just going to die before you do much against most good players.

Ya I use champion.gg and I don't think that is the problem, although I did like the champion better when he could be used full assassin but you can't play him like that anymore

to be honest, that happens to me If i play too much of champions other than yi that have a different play style, like initiators or tanks etc. soooo it might sound odd but i'd recommend you play more yi, but also more exclusively.

also if you wana improve your yi i'd also say you should learn him at different roles then just jungle.

I honestly play him better at mid lane.
