So...Yi?

All I can say is...What? Played against my first one in forever today (been away from game.)

He did shit for over half the game, went 0/6/0.

Decided to AFK farm and came out of JG with Titanic Hydra, about half his devour stacks, and Maw (a lot of Mdamage on our team.) Comes at me in lane as Cho, 4/1/0 with fully stacked ROA, max Feast. I laugh because at this point my Q > W > R was deleting my enemy laner with more items than him.

My entire combo + two autos just barely pops his Maw shield. He SHREDS me in roughly 3 seconds.

I said, out loud, in my room "What the fuck...?" in disbelief.. EVERY SINGLE ENGAGEMENT against him our team wasn't doing crap for damage to him so we stopped focusing him, in doing so we just died twice as fast since he wasn't being CC'd to hell and was allowed to unload an disgusting amount of "fair" damage on us. We were so far ahead and had that game in the bag until Yi decided to join in on the fun after his AFK-fest. By end-game my combo that was popping squishies (YI IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SQUISHY???) was barely doing 40% of his HP, while he was still being Ol'Janitor Yi wiping the floor with his damage.

HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN ALLOWED TO OCCUR?

It's been like this ever since the major AD items rework around... 6 months ago? It effectively ended the full tank juggernaut meta and introduced the build-2-offensive-items-and-then-go-full-tank meta that essentially told mage mains to uninstall.

For ages now, never fixed, tons of complaints. Anything with sated + guinsoo = broken as ultra fuck. Guinsoo itself is pretty much a broken item. Game is in a sad state.

You'll soon find out he's far from the only offender. item 3070

That isn't a "yi" issue, it's a them constantly buffing ad/bruiser build items because why not.

Hell I started building deadmans plate on fizz and annie because it's so damn strong, and i started playing ad champs for the first time seriously because....

Riot clearly wants us to

How to get up votes:

  1. Make up a fake story
  2. Blame Riot

Apparently master Yi had 6700 gold to buy Maw and Titanic with only killing about 15 jungle camps.

And I think this is the game you are talking about on your match history. Where Master Yi did not buy Maw, Titanic, OR have 6 deaths.

darling, MasterYi and Fiora has been a pain in everyone's ass since you been gone. They would just build two damage items then go tank the rest of their build and suddenly roflmao stomp everyone squishy and tanky alike. This is mostly due to AD bruiser items getting updated

I recommend you stay away, League is shit and only getting worse. A lot of people including myself have quit. Yi is one of many extreme problems that Riot has ignored for months on end.

Don't worry, Master Yi and Titanic Hydra both have nerfs on the PBE for the next patch.

yes he will do that. he will shred a full tank in under 5 seconds. I had a jax today that was 0/4. got ragebalde. 1v3s and wins.

I cant find the link, but I read a meddler post a while back that they are planning on changing one of his AD ratios to bonus ad instead of total ad I think

Yeah, this is basically Yi now. item 3124 is even worse- it gives him magic damage that scales with his AD. If he comes out of the jungle with that instead of Maw, he can delete you, a fully stacked Cho'Gath, before your Q comes off of cooldown. Or, in the worst-case.. Before it finishes its animation. I made a thread on the item!

about half his devour stacks

He power farmed, got maw and titanic, but still only half way to sated? If I'm reading that right. . .

  1. WTF was that Yi doing!?
  2. Sated just breaks the ever loving Wuju out of him. You didn't even see half of what he could out-put. (He's actually pretty low abuse for rageblade compared to others.)

Oh ok, I'm not the only one who noticed this.
