Before we break Yi's legs

So Sated Devourer is running around and Yi is...Yi, so it's pretty obvious Yi's probably staring at a nerf in the near future.

Before (or as) that happens though, can we get around to fixing some of his bugs? Anyone can tell you that when Yi is ahead, he has a lot of power. On the flipside however, it's harder to balance Yi when Yi's going to inconsistently sacrifice random traits that make him powerful.

For example, there are three gigantic glitches I know about with Yi right now or in the past that screws him over:

  • Double Strike doesn't properly Critical Strike against monsters after Yi has a certain amount of Attack Speed
  • Double Strike doesn't properly apply his Alpha Strike reset after a certain amount of Attack Speed
  • Yi sometimes will not auto attack after using Alpha Strike, especially in the Jungle (I've notice this also happens with Warwick sometimes, so I suspect this is a larger glitch with how abilities and auto attack aggro works rather than just a Yi thing)

I mean, tuning levers are fine to build into a champion and all, but it helps literally no one when said levers are broken.

Quick reminder that nobody knew about YI's existence before sated devourer.

I know few more bugs. Sometimes W is "locked" (cannot be used, its grayed) after alpha while inside an intense team fight, even tho you are not silienced, stuned, etc. i noticed it occurs more often this patch. Also sometimes Q CD doesent drop with autos after its interrupted mid-animation. And devourer attack doesent count toward Yi's passives (neither double strike and Q cd) and i have doubts if it works with his E active.

Yi doesent need nerfing, he was never a meta pick and was in deep shit since begining of S5, i think he deserves some finally.

1dt things 1st. Yi was completly fine. The only nerfs needed is the item. Remember Warwick? They literally neutered him just because of the existance of this item:item 3715. Nerf the item, not the champion.

EDIT: Didnt read post correctly. Any champion that has bugs SHOULD be fixed. But tbh, the item will get nerfed. If he gets nerfed, then that wont be real justice.
