Makes the Game Not Fun: Yi in URF

IP Pants·8/23/2017, 5:19:15 AM·17 votes·3,670 views

If you've played AR U.R.F. you've probably played against MasterYi . Now, I understand, it's URF, so why am I even complaining. For the most part, I agree, URF is a fun break from everything and doesn't really matter. However, what's not fun is a guaranteed loss in the loading screen. Here are the scores of the enemy Yi in my last three games he was in, check the match history:

8/22/17 - 26/5/1 8/21/17 - 15/7/4 8/20/17 - 26/3/1

What's more interesting in those stats are the assists. You notice how there are hardly any? That means Yi is roaming around the map deleting anyone he comes across, not even participating in team fights. With <1 second cooldown on his spells, he's practically untargettable during the entire time of an engage.

"Legendary" - 9/0/0 before 6:00 into game, final Yi score 42/2/7:

To RIOT: I notice Sona and Ryze have been heavily weighted not to be rolled, for similar reasons of unfairness, at least do the same for Yi.

Story time.

I played an urf game on an alt account the other day. Our team was.

Lulu Maokai Ashe Camille Ezreal

Vs

Ahri Braum Janna Khazix MasterYi

My team took one look at yi and it was over before it began. Not a single item on our team was bought. We knew the game was unwinnable so we decided not to buy a single item and just stand the fountain and let them push. We told the enemy team we did not want to deal with urf yi and they understood and were nice enough to push as fast as they could. In the meantime all 10 of us talked about movies and anime.

When they got to the nexus Yi fountain dove us with Q and got a penta with it lol.

No one was reported and the game was over quickly.

The moral of the story: yi is so broken on urf he makes the game mode a joke to the point where some enemy teams wont even try to play the match if hes in it.

You never played against a good Fiora if you think Yi is a problem

Trundle is worse. If you're melee you can't fight him.

There are several champions far more broken than Yi. In fact, tons of them BEAT Yi. And even more of them that beat Yi do it even harder with a support.

Supports are the truly most broken thing in URF when paired with a broken URF champ.

Taric Swain Zilean Garen Karma Jax etc.

And those 3 dumpster Yi on their own. There are several others, Fiora, Evelynn, SA Kayn, Pantheon. The list goes on.

He should be renamed master QQ for urf.

When I play Karma I can beat Yi, when I play Sejuani I can beat yi... depends on the champion. It is annoying to get dove under the tower but IDK find a way to beat him. Yi does not mean guaranteed win or loss.

Some champs can beat Yi. I've seen him get burst by a Quinn and rendered nearsighted before he could alpha. I've 1v1'd him as AP Blitz. Veigar stands a chance against him if you zone him with cage.

Honestly, there are so many annoying and unfun champions in ARURF that I simply hate the mode due to it only coming down to luck and balancing issues.

Ive done more broken things with garen. item 3071 item 3053 item 3111 item 3742 item 3065 item 3075

than any other champ this urf cycle, durability from W, sticking power w/ stormraiders and his E just melting ppl.

Every time ive been garen I have been top damage dealt to champs and top damage taken, with an absurd amount of kills.

The only champion that really needs to be looked at on urf is Fiora. She has the highest winrate and is pretty close to unbeatable. You can't really kite her, mitigate her dmg, or easily cc her and her healing becomes insane. She's the one champ that ruins the game she's in.

It's URF. Don't like it? Don't play it. Simple. It wasn't intended to be a balanced mode, if it was, there would be Ranked URF.

How to fix this?

Get rid of this AR bullshit and give everyone a ban. ARURF was supposed to stop OP champions and metas, but now it's just RNG on if you get said OP champ or not. And the worst part is that it decides games if the other team doesn't get any OP champs.

Give us 10 ban draft like normal and ranked. People who hate Yi as much as you can ban him. I hate his ass but I'd much rather ban Jax. Then if the other team picks an OP champ, I can pick one as well instead of ending up with 3 supports and 2 tanks. That way no one has to put up with the cancer champs they hate, and if they do, both teams can be evenly overpowered and cancerous.

ARURF is just a disaster of playing shit champs vs god champs, please save URF by bringing back drafts.

Almost every game I have played with/against a Master Yi has had a very high kill count and a very low death count. The only two times I remember winning against Yi was when I played Ekko and Vayne. Generally a Master Yi player will waste tons of time chasing kills - so it is still possible to win if you get a strong 1v1 splitpusher.

its urf again and yi is literally never targetable. I fight him, e uses q twice, is never targetable for long enough that even one autoattack will land and did 1,5K damage with q. I dont know why they dont adjust urf to make it atleast somewhat playable. right now you can just open at the start of the game if yi is in it. I literally cant play against this champion. most champs dont have anything that can be cast fast enough to land any damage on him between q's. Urf is not fun because of crap like this.
