How to counter Master Yi?

Before you downvote or say, "buy executioners calling" or "take ignite", here's what happened. our team got a lead and he carried because he maxed w, he was 5v1 and we couldnt kill him, then used q on adc, 1 shotting our adc, then our mid, support, then he presses w again, q's jungle, ults, and kills me (Maokai ). whats the counter play to this?

I mean you could just save your Q to knock him out of his meditate easily. Wait for him to jump in. W to point and click root him. Your team starts wailing on him. He uses meditate. You use Q to stop him. He falls over dead. Easy.

But thats considering there are no enemy team players to stop him and he is in a 1v5

Any sort of hard CC, stun, knockback, knockup, displacement ability, silence would have canceled his W. If you picked as you say literally 5 people with none of those things, you deserved to lose to ANY opponent, hard. It's actually really difficult to build a man with 0 displacement/silences.

His W right now usually a "Guys, hurry, I'm about to die" spell, particularly against an entire team...It's good for baiting out enemy abilities before dying so your team can clean house.

When he Qs his landing spot is fairly obvious. CC him out of that and kill him quick.

Ban him

Otherwise? Just leave so your team can remake

Knock him out of Meditate; you have the means to do that as Maokai.

Is "bring even bigger cancer" (like SoS jax) an answer to your question?

Stupid question.. Do you think that a champion with only point and click abilities an insane amout of MS and true damage on autos can have any counterplay? Just play Riven she is also overly the top broken and since she has so many skins dont expect any actual nerfes to come.

Champions with extremely reliable hard CC. Examples that come to mind are LIssandra, Leona, lulu, alistar, rammus, etc.

Also champs that can PUT OFF DYING by any means. This denies Q resets. Liss, Vayne, Xayah, Kayle...also good.

You can't let him get to late game, or he will simply outscale everyone. Got to take advantage of his garbage early game and not just surrender dumb ints to him.

But even in the worst case scenario, it can actually be simple enough to deal with Yi by locking him down with cc when he dives you, SAVE that cc for when it happens and not just randomly firing it as a poke, and stay close so he's not just 1v1ing. Too many people playing carries will just run away from the peelers, or the tanks and supps will be too far away from their damage dealers.

Just CC him.
