Devourer Update & Master Yi

Matrealt·7/9/2015, 1:05:37 AM·1 votes·794 views

So, after looking over the 5.13 patch notes and playing one of my favorite junglers, Master Yi, I have come across a very interesting thought.

New Devourer's ability: Phantom Hit gives an extra hit that does no damage but trigger's ON-HIT effects.

Thinking about Master Yi, he has that Q which will refresh at about 1.6 times the speed after basic attacks and regular cooldown if you just consider regular attacking...

But Master Yi also has a PASSIVE:

Double Strike: Master Yi generates a stack each time he hits an attack. At 4 stacks, his next attack will attack twice. The second strike deals 50% of Master Yi's AD, but fully applies on-hit effects and can critically strike.

So attack once, get 2 on hit triggers and halfway charged passive

Attack again and get a passive double hit on the next attack

Double Strike occurs with Phantom hit also occuring and that is 4 attacks in a single use which automatically refreshes Yi's Passive for the next hit which will refresh the next

So my question is, DID ANYONE BREAK THIS IN PBE WHILE IT WAS A THING? Because I feel like you could easily do so unless RIOT coded in some safeguards against the insanity

So wait......he once he gets it, he gets his passive every AA? hehehehehehe I like him even more now >:)

Real talk though: His double hit from his passive doesn't go towards the counter. So while he will be getting it one attack sooner, he won't be hitting 4 times every AA (his Q will go off cooldown a lot sooner though)

Also, from the looks of it, unless I'm mis counting something, he won't actually get double hit in time with the phantom hit from devourer. He AA, passive point, AA again, passive point, procs phantom hit, another passive point, and then he gets Double strike, but it doesn't proc phantom hit (which is every other AA)

Makes four auto attacks into three. Also his true damage becomes OPaf. Basically, he becomes yi v2.0
