Yi needs to be changed/reworked or nerfed in some way

god im getting sick of his press Q to win, the amount of times he has dodged abilitys ( such as CC his counter) is a joke he is too easy to play and has very little counter play with alpha strike, if he gets ahead ( 98% of the time he does) you might as well surrender as you cant deal with him unless your whole team is there too but then that just gives him a penta kill as he can just dodge ults, cc, teleport with you (if you flash while he alpha strikes you) can heal, take less damage during healing, tower dive with little no no consequences and he can chase you down with his ultimate. he is just too much for how easy it is to play him.

if you play a champion like kindred againsed yi in the jungle then yi is most likely going to get the upper hand and the last time i checked kindred is way harder to play than yi and yi can kill her with little to no effort and to the same to most other champions. and the worst part is they are proud of playing such a cheap and easy champion and think they are "skilled" when they play it.

I dont think annie is that bad tbh, she has some skill expression and counterplay. Like the difference between a good annie and bad annie is pretty large.

A good annie can land a 4-man tibbers in a teamfight and turn the game around while a bad annie overestimates her range, gets hit by a cc and then dies.

MonkeyKing MasterYi Pantheon tho, literally braindead and have no counterplay

Yi isn’t a problematic champion at all.

Solutions

  1. Ban him
  2. Get you or your teammates to play Yi
  3. Pick something that doesn't die, like a tryndamere, so that you can 1v1 him.
  4. Burst him down before he kills you Zoe

Honest Opinion: Many inexperienced players tend to confuse playing skilled champions with actual skill in mechanics. A bad Azir is WAY worse than a medicore Annie player. I would rather have a mechanically bad master yi on my team than have a 0/10 kindred. While it may sound ridiculous to hear a master yi player say that they are better than you, the truth is that the Master Yi has done a better job at slaughtering your team than you. He/She may be mechanically worse than you, but if he/she can pick an overpowered champion and win games that you cannot win, then you have done a worse job at increasing your odds of winning.

If you can't beat em, join em. If you think Yi really is that good in your elo, go ahead and play him. Stop being so prideful about playing skilled champions and admit that your mechanics are of silver or lower. I'm not going to judge your mechanical skills when I've never seen you play first hand, but I doubt that you currently have good enough mechanics to get to Gold** purely through outplays**, especially when I look at the rank of your opponents in normals (that you lose to).

TLDR, skill isn't determined by champion choice, you've failed yourself by not picking Yi if you think he's broken, your mechanics aren't great so stop being negative about the skill of others.
