Can we make it so attack speed slows work against master Yi during ult please?

He has true damage and a ton of % damage through jungle item + blade + true damage and rage blade to amp all of this damage up. It would be nice if you had more than 2 choices to either CC him and instantly kill him, or build grevious wounds because finishing things with the coldsteel passive (15% slow) or the frozen hearts 15% slow passive doesn't do anything.

He'd prob be less aids to deal with in solo Q and less cheesy comps if an obvious answer to Yi was building items like frozen heart and thornmail, just like how tryn is (although randuins can be stronger against tryn it depends).

Also want to add the gameplay of attack speed slows not working during his ult is invisible power. Any new or even average player would think "ah yes! attack speed slows are needed for this guy!". Little do they know they don't work on him.

Sounds like a Nasus buff to me.

Master yi has :

-No cc whatsoever -Alpha Stike changes make him ever more extremely telegraphed than before

-He’s a Slayer, meaning he will outdps/outduel tanks assassins any other class.

Master yi is:

Far from being a problem in this game. Trust me, there are other champions in the game that you should worry about.

YES PLEASE. So this champion has some counterplay outside of point and click cc.

To all of you post downvoting, yi hating, complaining, tin foil hat wearing, ILLUMI-NOT-YI...

Ill explain my OTP, MISTER YI!

Master Yi is a weak champ, the only way to win a game on yi is to know the champ perfectly against every match up, How to effectively use W to either sustain and survive long enough to double aa and q, or to reset your aa and aa again instantly, at what point ur powerspikes allow you to duel most of these champs 1v1, and pathing and clearing of jungles while avoiding MOST JUNGLERS because early in the game u lose MOST 1V1 in the jungle!

The weakness of yi is literally any cc, u stun him, he dies, as well as nuking junglers like KZ, EKKO, or LEE SIN waiting for him in bushes. K iting is difficult against yi if he saves his alpha properly, and lets be honest, most champs cannot outrun a CANNOT BE SLOWED 450 move speed champ.

This is the only way he can even get close to someone without using his Q, and his Q is basically his ONLY DODGE/ESCAPE skill, otherwise he has to MAN-MODE up and fight like hes in a boxing match inside a phone booth, 2 MAN ENTER 1 MAN LEAVE style.

As a master yi player since season 2, WHERE AP YI WAS A THING (God bless the old league, it was actually fun, not an endless ranked grind with a ruined match making system) I cannot group with my team against ANY team with a hard cc or instant cc, I f i alpha ONCE to help in the fight i am insta cc and black screen ensues. If i just walk up and AA, i am insta cc'd and black screen ensues.

Yi's only chance of a team fight is WAIT UNTIL ALL THE CC IS BURNED (This gives me A 5 SECOND WINDOW MAXIMUM) to attack the ADC or APC or whoever i have to assassinate with R flash E AA AA Q AA W(aa reset) AA and hope he dies, or im screwed, because unless yi kills someone with his ult up, his ALPHA AINT COMING BACK UP for minimum 3-5 seconds ( guinsu and wits end really help to get this low q timer )

This means i cannot dodge ANYTHING, i am forced to accept any and all damage targeted at me, and hope i can delete the enemy before they delete me.

So you want to take away Yi's attack speed? YOU MEAN THE ONLY THING THAT ALLOWS HIM TO DUEL ANYONE??? LOLWUT?

Yi is not a strong champ unless u let him farm, or int to him, There are SO MANY OTHER CHAMPS who are WAY STRONGER, WITH MORE BUSTED KITS and ESCAPES FROM BAD SITUATIONS who can cause a game winning engage.

If a jungler is gank oriented, and barely farms, but ganks lanes and gets kills, the amount of exp leeched off laners from ganks consistently. ** will GIVE THEM THE SAME LVL/EXP AS YI WHO FARMS AND RARELY GANKS** due to newest jung changes, even if u get most the scuttles, buffs, and drakes... ( after about lvl 12-13 the buffs/scuttle exp and lvl will differ, until then you may barely ever see a difference in level even if u are up 40-80 cs )

Yi is my poker hand, HE IS EITHER ALL IN, OR ALL OUT.

He is not a kiting champ, he is not much faster than some champs even with his ULT ACTIVE and he has no dash, no double hp sheild, no invisibility, NO "OH SHIT IM OUTTA HERE" SKILL Unless you CAN save your Q to dodge a snare/stun. (besides flash if u even take it still, Cowsep, a master yi diamond+ player in Korea, who is prolly the most known yi player, takes ignite on him, to further the I AM ALL IN OR I DIE aspect of Yi.)

Its not that Yi is a BAD CHAMP its that he has NEVER FIT INTO A META... he has never been able to work effectively in pro play, or high elo that doesnt revolve around allowing him to split push late...

He is mainly a LOW ELO stomper...

There are so many junglers who are SO MUCH HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER (gotta drop the daft punk)

Who can effectively control the game from going buff gank buff gank farm camp gank, gank and keeping up with yi in lvl and exp from creep/assist exp. So if yi is behind from the enemy team getting fed off ganks, he is ultimately useless in the 1v1 split or teamfight, ( if i am ahead as yi, I SPLIT, if i am behind, i try to teamfight and attempt to assist the team without getting deleted)

Dont Hate the yizzle, get some ccizzle and kizzle the yizzle ya dumb shizzle.

Peace and love, even to the haters.

GL on the rift summoners.

Master yi really isn't that big of a problem. .. comparatively to all the other massive problems at least. I don't think anyone would play him at all if not for funnel

Sylaelque1/24/2020, 10:21:36 PM6 votes

[sg-ahri-3] I think Ekko is more disgusting to play against than MasterYi in currently meta. Also, it is funny to see a D4 player complaining about Yi.

Hawthorn Tree1/25/2020, 5:46:06 PM3 votes

Beyond subhuman elos, Yi alone isn't a problem. It'ss the funnel shit making him cancer. Nerfing him outright isn't the way to go.

Zeyphel1/25/2020, 12:55:21 AM3 votes

Well, Yi is just a noob stomper. Just CC him.

He has 55.62% WinRate in Plat, 59.52% in Diamond Korea.

But don't worry he is just a low elo noob stomper with 59% WinRate in Diamond in NA. With 10.3% PickRate. https://u.gg/lol/champions/masteryi/build?region=na1&rank=diamond_plus

Shame on you if you lose against him.

BotRK on Master Yi that says quite a bit about this post as a whole lmao

Ekko and LeeSin exists but MasterYi is OP just rofl

and if Highlander was not immune to attack slows, you could just remove his ult entirely, it baerly gives any ms, its duration is so short, yi wouldnt be able to 1v1 anything anymore

No, it'll never happen nor should it. Stay upset all you like though!

If we take away his AS slow negation, can we bring back AP yi?

FCJAAAAGOOOO1/25/2020, 4:03:32 AM1 votes

AA resets / bonus hits + Conq + Ravenous are way too egregious. PTA Lucian is NOTHING compared to Conq Yi - Yi has a billion damage and healing regardless of target and I'm not exaggerating. Conq Yi's potential past the 25-minute mark is so insane AND has zero counterplay.

This champion deserves a mini-rework, not a slight nerf to his kit or indirect item buffs. Makes me wonder why Riot spent so many wasted hours on reworking his apprentice...
