Just thinking about master Yi....

I think he's almost always been viable right? I mean... could we possibly just change that for one season? Please? Would it really hurt to bench him for about 6 months tops? Pretty please? :D

Master yi is generally only viable in Bronze and Silver games (maybe Gold as well), as his weakness to CC is very substantial and he needs to get his stacks for devourer first. He isn't even that big a threat, in comparison to League as a whole, since lots of champions now have CC that could stop yi.

Anyone can do a well timed Q that can dodge most CC's.

Also - item 3139 is a thing

On the flip side, well timed CC and damage can be applied to yi before or after he uses his Q, as he isn't tanky and have any high resistances (only high life-steal), so burst or kite damage will render him useless. If he uses Q to gap close, then CC right after can give you time to re-position and focus him down.

item 3139 is only good for removing current CC and reducing CC after for a second or 2 (not stopping it), damage, in forms of burst or dps, can still deal with him relatively quickly.

item 3139 thing has long CD. which is MUCH MUCH longer than anyones ability with no CDR. That well timed Q has limitations and is not anyone can do it. ( i do it yet have to be on constant lookout becuz of so many CC's availability).

It'll be a learning to watch dodge ( Amumu Fiddlesticks Kassadin Nasus Kalista (ult) Lulu Malzahar Maokai to name a few where animation isn't slow enough to know when they are casing their abilities. You expect them to cast it and nope.. they run away leaving me to hit minions to quickly get Q back.
