What the fuck is this Taric + Yi mid bullshit?

At this point Master Yi had became a champion with the most toxic kit that is used for boosting strats which isn't healthy for the game, literally.

There was also the strategy of Kayle Top rushing Ardent Censer (back when it was meta in season 7) and Master Yi Jungle. As soon as they would hit level 6 they would just dive any enemies under turret thanks to Kayle's W Movement Speed Boost, and her R granting instant invunrability.

This is honestly getting rediculous, Riot needs to actually consider giving him a Full Rework or a small gameplay update to adress these issues.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if the next boosting strat would be Kayle Top, Master Yi Jungle, Mid Taric and Soraka & Lulu Bot.

Just played against this yesterday lmfao

If Yi no longer worked in these strats then Twitch would be next on the boosting strat carry list.

I think it would be Taric top and Kayle mid, depending on the matchups.

Smart guys are so op. Dopa have not lost single game with this strategy. And he was not playing yi before. It has no counter-play if played properly. People who copy dopa are doing mistakes so the strategy have only 60% winrate overall. Mainly bcs bad taric players stay on lane to freeze and don't help him in jungle. If you follow yi with taric all around the map asisting him with every jungle creep (yeah there are some buts, but generally you need to follow him and assist) and then letting him collect mid he can't be stopped.

So if I'm understanding this-

• We have a meta format.
• A new format emerges.
• People lose their minds because they can't possibly find a way to be flexible and shift with this new format.
• People call for immediate nerfs because of their inability to play anything but the current meta.

Do I have that about right?

Is that any worse then:

• Champion has a point and click stun
• Riot create an item that nullifies this and builds into good item afterwards
• People refuse to buy said item and just cry more
• Riot change champion but keep point and click stun
• People continue to cry because said champion can now be played as support
• Riot change champion again and make him spammy
• Nothing happens until he sees pro play then people cry again
• Riot nerfs everything in his kit but keep the point and click stun
• People still cry and refuse to build the item
• Riot continues to throw out nerfs
• Champion returns to the dark place he calls home, only to be seen in pro play when they need a point and click stun.
• The champions he used to counter become meta
• Everyone cries that there's no counter
• He stays in his dark home and chuckles at their misery.

This is one reason why clash scares me, youll see so many cheese comps like this

I believe this video will pretty much explain what that Strategy is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgE4eY7s78M

Yeah it explains it

Apparently started on China server

I was playing this strat with a friend a few days ago just for the fun. Got up against a fiddle support. Calling it painful to try and engage with Taric ult on you, just for Fiddle to fear you so you can watch your character speed half across the map away from your team is an understatement. At least it looked really funny.

Yi's winrate is 46% in diamond+ soo

Yi's win rate is mixed with actual jungle Yi.

Spoiler: Taric mid's win rate is almost 60%.

taric+yi played with dopa properly. over 95+ winrate. It is unbeatable if other members of your team don't int. /or maybe this one is not even dopa./

Kayle doesn't have hard CC and also can't afford to give up nearly as much farm as Taric. Taric's ult is better 99% of the time with Yi since there is no "drawback" to it with Yi. You pop it at the start and Yi is in his alpha strike for basically the entire duration of the "wind up" meaning he gets the full value.

Taric can also buy a Zeke's Convergance/Knight's Vow and further help his Yi. Kayle can literally only get Ardent at which point she is STRICTLY an R bot. Taric still gives armor, a better heal, and most importantly an undodgeable stun since if timed well it PHYSICALLY cannot miss since it comes out the second Yi exits Alpha Strike.

now make it Yi + Kayle + Morgana cant be damaged and cant CC to escape

Randomly assuming elo boosters are 5% of the population, that still makes 5% of games unwinnable, and those games are not very much fun to play. If it ruins the game even 5% of the time, it still needs to be fixed. Reading about this, I realize it may only come up with boosting strategies, but I really don't want to play those games.

It's the fact that the strategy isn't fun for anyone involved and the counter to the strategy is to either do it yourself OR hope your jungler knows how to play the match up. If you are the top laner or either of the bot laners you have ZERO control on the outcome of the game. You went 4 or 5/0 as the ADC? Doesn't matter. Yi has 120 farm including jungle camps at 10 minutes and is like level 12 to your level 8 or 9 so it doesn't matter if you have 5 kills on Draven when Yi runs bot with 2.5 items, invulnerable, with a stun, and kills you before you can even touch his health bar. The only way to beat the strategy is to hope the taric+yi are not good at it (which is a stretch since it really isn't that hard) or hope your jungler can win the game for you.

Laning mid against it? Awful. You are constantly under tower and at ANY point after level 6 you are basically forced to give up everything because you can and will get dove if they want to. Also, being the Taric in the game isn't fun at all. You are LITERALLY Master Yi's 3rd summoner spell. You ONLY exist for Yi. You aren't "Taric" you are "Yi's plaything". You don't kill creeps in a "solo lane". You sit back and wait for your master to show up to lane and kill all the creeps in front of you while you pick up little coins off the ground from the scraps he "generously" left you. You then proceed to follow him around on a leash around the map doing whatever he says. At least with bot lane supports you CAN help other lanes by roaming or providing utility to others. As the Taric in this comp you ONLY exist for Yi. You help him jungle and then freeze the lane. That is ALL you do as the "solo laner".

It's a form of ELO boosting actually.
