Master Yi Needs serious nerfs

Every low-level game is destroyed when there is a Yi. There is no point in playing the game, the Yi will automatically win just for picking Yi.

First of all his Q has way too much range. You can't kite him or flash away from him. He can always reach you to get it off. Second, he has way too many ways to avoid damage.

Q+Meditate+immunity to slows+speed = Yi never dies

Lastly, his ult lasts FOREVER. there is no reason for it to get extended from takedowns. It should be a fixed duration and that's it.

This champion is too toxic to low-level games as is. He makes the game completely unfun to play.

Most of your argument is...wrong.

However, I think it would probably be fair to reduce the duration gained on his R when he gets a kill. 7 extra seconds is a bit too long, but 3-4 would be fair.

However, he's squishy as fuck, even with his ways to avoid damage. And he loses fairly frequently in low tier...

He's an extremely simple champion that is sitting around a 50% winrate. That is indicative that he is actually under performing.

Even in low elo he's sitting around a 50-51% winrate, so he does not "automatically win for picking Yi".

He is only a problem if you or your team let him get ahead. But this is the case for any hypercarry champion.

EDIT: also understanding how his Q works helps alot. As Nami I'll wait for him to Q, and then bubble right behind the champion that he went on.

Looking at your most recent game against Yi I can tell you it's not because of Yi is why you lost, your bot lane didn't have a real ADC but instead you had a troll teemo without flash.

Also, if a team doesn't have enough stuns then YI can do stuff. But legit a few stuns and he is done.

Stop it. MasterYi is there so low level people can learn how to carry. And so low level people can learn how to stop a carry. FYI...there are a lot of champs that can hard carry harder then in the right hands. Learn how to stop him, you will need the skillset to climb.

Jax and Udyr are both straight up upgrades of Master Yi who do very similar job to the latter but straight up better, where both of which are also performing better statistically, and both of which also hard-counter Master Yi too.

Just so you know.

Master Yi is like Dan in Street Fighter, almost never played in high tier beyond their very dedicated players because the champ is basically a self-handicap that comes with a very impractical gimmick that almost never work against people with more than half a brain, hence typically only used in low tier plays to rek noobs.
