Decrease his ult to 7 seconds, that champ is nearly useless without his ult, and now they nerfed it down.

tbh this doesn't change much, the extended duration is useless if you can't kill someone and Yi always had enough increased duration before. The real problem is the base duration, having 7 seconds increased by kill or assist is unnecessary

if you don't know when to use your ult that is your fault you use it when a fight starts you should be able to kill anyone within the time frame of the base ult. The extended duration gives you more than enough time to chase down anyone from the fight. : ^)

First of all, I read the patch notes. Second, champions can run pretty damn fast and if they flash the ult becomes virtually useless. It takes a good 2 seconds to catch the person. They also fucked up the true damage from sated so now when fighting tanks it actually does take a good 5-6 seconds to kill them as opposed to before I could crit them down to nothing.

AynvMay 29, 20161 votes

They can't flash the ult. You use it when you are close to them also item 3153 or item 1419 kills tanks along with item 3031 you can still crit them down :)))))))))

Not in diamond. Especially since you had little influence early on due to your kit, it's likely to be a bit behind, and if your opponent uses his escapes smartly, your ult is down before you kill him, at which point you get kited to oblivion. Doesn't happen everytime, but it's still a pretty harsh nerf anyway. Also the cooldown nerf meaning you have to wait so long before being able to fight since you're 100% dependent on that ult.

I run into champs outrunning his ult every once in awhile. really annoying.

Happened to me vs trundle today, the guy had like 5000 health plus steraks fury and stuff. I had crit strike up to around 700 per basic attack and 50% armor penetration but still 5000 health is alot to go through in 7 seconds.

And Trundle's ult...

Honestly 1 on 1, (prior to yis Nerf), I dont think any champion at my elo countered me as Yi besides a very farmed nasus The damage output and speed on yi is just too high.

President Swa1nMay 30, 20161 votes

So you're saying that a champion that was so OP that he couldn't be countered by ANY other champion EXCEPT by Nasus situationally got ONE nerf to his ult and is now trash?

No, the REAL nerf was the removal of Devourer, but now he's BALANCED, not BAD.

I liked yi because at really low elo, he was probably a champion you could 1 v 5 with. With devourers bonus of true damage it was easier to to take on tanks. I was attacking a blitz crank today with just one light armor item, gauntlet, and holy crap with 3 item as yi it was taking a whole lot of hits to kill this guy.

I used to do a build for yi, item 1419 , item 3072 item 3031 item 3087 item 3508 item 3006 .

This build, if I replaced razor with a 65 AD item used to do around 1100-1800 damage per basic attack. I one hit the gromp once. I used to be able to Q in and take out the ADC , sometimes the support, maybe their jungler in 1 Q and one basic attack each.

It has become very hard now to deal with that.

They also reduced yis base movement speed. which makes his ult semi useless

President Swa1nMay 31, 20161 votes

So what part of "1 v 5'ing", easily "taking on tanks" and dealing "1100-1800 damage per basic attack" does NOT sound broken to you?

He is now NORMAL. Before, he was OP.

fullbacks63May 31, 20161 votes

That is YI's strength. Yi has major weaknesses that include extreme squishyness early game, Extremely squishyness in general. All you need is 2 people to CC him and hes gone. The point is, at low elo , good players need slightly broken champs to help them climb by making up for their team mates. Like theres no way a soraka is going to 1 v 5 an entire team.

A great example is zed, I wanted to test how broken Zed was, so one game, where I felt our zed was decent enough, I played sort of passive, I kind of farmed lanes and stuff during team fights. I acted a bit like a jerk, but the guy still carried the hell out of the game against tanks. IF I remember correctly Top and ADC were total feeding noobs too.

President Swa1nMay 31, 20161 votes

ANY champion that can 1 v 5 should not be allowed UNLESS 1 v 5'ing was normal. Which it isn't. That's that.

One less champ to worry about. Good riddance.

tbh just had a yi go 20-5 on a team and he went dead mans + spirit

Hes not nerfed

Fuck him.

fullbacks63May 29, 20161 votes

I mean I fed like hell early on and end game I annihilated their fed champion who was like 20/5, BUT, Yi has been destroyed to a point that if you can end a game in 20 minutes, he is meaningless.

AynvMay 29, 20161 votes

You dont know how to play yi if you feed in the early game you no longer have any room to talk

fullbacks63May 29, 20161 votes

Idk how you can be so cocky, its my first time playing yi in the new patch and I never realized they buffed him. I have been out of touch with yi for a couple months now since I gave up on him after I found out nasus could kill him.

AynvMay 29, 20161 votes

dont make a board post if you dont know what youre talking about?

fullbacks63May 29, 20161 votes

I know what Im talking about. I used to be very good at carrying yi. And I am saying the new yi nerfs are not in his favor at all.
