I dont care how much this is going to be downvoted but worlds are a perfect example how much those boards and LoL players tend to be wrong.

In short, i hear alot how much MasterYi is overpowered but i never ever seen him used in competitive play since im playing this game for almost 1,5 year. (Faker used him once but it was more like a trolling).

Exact same story with item 3718, when it was bugged there where alot of "keep it disabled" threads, well RIot listened, they disabled it for worlds.. or it just suck so hard that nobody even bothers to use it?

LoL has reached the state where playing overpowered champions doesent gives you just edge, it become essential to actually reach anywhere to higher elo. And cause both Yi and Devourer are not used in competitive play (where you use most overpowered things possible) but also no use outside of gold-platinum elo.

That's why im officialy stating that Master Yi (as well as other devourer junglers like xin and ww) is trash tier jungler and needs rework/buffs to keep up with competitive junglers or new ones fresly released. Just compare Yi to Ekko, Ekko has like 2 spells in each ability and the only thing Yi can do is Q and.. thats it? Its also one of the reasons community calls him easy to play cause only thing he can do is Q, if so, then add something to his kit so he can do more.

Right now every his ability has inasne long CD (35sec flat cd on W, really), Q deals no damage at all, and E is just followup to Q. My idea for good start would be to combine E with Q and replace wuju style with a 2015 champion-like dash/wall walk so he can also do "#LCSBIGPLAY".

Please do something with this champion so hes not just another "raise the champion counter" thing.

When you have a team that actually works as a team then yes he is trash tier. But solo Q god because he can solo carry a game. In solo Q it's who ever picked the best solo carry or if youre lucky enough to get a good team

Yi's fine. He has quite good tools to dodge the CC. Ofc sometimes you'll be matched with the full CC teamfight comp that somehow won every lane on top of that and are hardpushing mid and you can't do sh*t about it, but I think he's still quite decent.

The main problem with Sated junglers like Yi, WW, and Xin is that they faceroll bad players so hard its unreal. I can't find the post riot released but they said basicly Yi is kept at a certain level of strength simply because champions like him are to strong at bronze. silver, and gold elo. The sad truth is those elo's makeup a little over 90% of the playerbase, so I do understand riot's position but its just sad.

Honestly it is because in LCS the junglers are over glorified supports. They have different requirements.

  • Sightstone (Vision Control)
  • Objective Control

In solo queue you play jungers to carry that is why Rengar and Vi even are way more popular picks in solo queue then in LCS. Sated would do alright if the junglers could power farm like we do normally. I rarely dont hit Level 6 when I finish my second buff I started with where LCS junglers are level going on 5 because of the safety they have to give to the laners or the real carries.

It's not so much counterplay as coordination; in solo que, near everyone there tries to do everything themselves without any communication. Which is frustrating to those that actually try to play as a team, when their teammates refuse to do likewise.
