Fuck Yi.

I mean, does anyone really feel they got outplayed when he gets a few kills early off a lane and then snowballs out of control? Its so unsatisfying to play against him. Now even more obnoxious with the new GA.

He can build attack speed, GA and a tank items because he does true damage. Point and click,, Alpha strike to evade damage...im not saying hes broke or OP, but I am saying that its ANNOYING to play against him.

Only thing that counters and can stop yi is cc and item 3075 item 3110

With the increasing amount of CC in this game Yi is actually pretty vulnerable.

and that is why he's considered one of the higher tier junglers

You realize CC easily locks him down especially when he builds no defensive items.

But when you think about it, out of the 50 most played champs (as of right now), there are really only a few with more than 1 hard CC. There's a massive difference between 1 and 2 CC's mainly because (if they are a good yi,) they will most likely Q you while the skillshot/missle/auto animation is rolling. Additionally, a many comps do not have any CC aside from their Top and their Sup.

In small skirmishes he'll thrive yes.

But if he were to go against a team such as Braum, Xayah, Orianna, Vi, Riven, very CC heavy in a 5v5 he wouldn't be able to kill the squishes fast enough even if he dodges one skill, they have great follow up and usually if you're not drafting CC in a comp then he'll thrive in a 5v5.

I guess he does get popped pretty hard if he goes complete ham on them, but he still does have a team that has heals, shields, CC, higher burst than him, etc. In a teamfight, yi does have sustain, and chances are you won't be focusing a full 5 or 6 seconds to him, because by then, the yi's mid and adc have already shredded through the xayah, ori, or vi.

My point is that yi is a nuisance when he has a team. But then again, most yi's try to "1v1" the enemy xayah, ori, braum, riven, and vi at the same time.

It takes two seconds to kill Yi, especially if he poorly engages a fight.

You realize that Yi frequently does buidls thisitem 3143 item 3026...but hey, its only 100 armor and health and a revive. Surely that wont help against CC right?

I swear to god, you people on these boards.

That's a late game fantasy which Isn't reached very often, you're average game time in most elo is 25 minutes so if you let Yi have a farm fiesta until then, then that's your mistake

GA only gives 30 armor now, and the health from Randuins was cut down by a lot.

On a side note if you want to make accusations against "these people on the boards" you're here complaining about Yi when there's much worse champions to complain about.

CC him once and he dies. He gets tank items and his damage goes to shit. The only "tanky" items he can use are things like Mercurial Scimitar, Maw of Malmortius/Hexdrinker, Guardian Angel, Phantom Dancer, etc.

Of course it feels annoying if you give him a free win comp to play against with no CC.

Is everyone on these boards stupid? item 3143 item 3026 means he doesnt just die from cc, he either barely lives, alpha strikes to saftey or comes back and lifesteals his way to victory

Honestly agree with you. He is too easy to play and too snowbally.

Remember the sated devourer full tank Yi? I don't think I could ever complain about him again after playing against that.
