I have never had fun with a Master Yi in my game

If hes on the enemy team, we either stomp because its a 4v5, or I don't see Yi for 20 minutes and then he just shit stomps my team by disappearing every 0.5 seconds.

If hes on my team, its either a duo funnel strat where we have a taric mid, and neither Yi nor taric do anything meaningful for 20 minutes, bot and top get run down because we have no mid or jungle presence, we get 0 objectives, and then all of a sudden a switch turns on and the Yi gets a pentakill and ends the game.

Or I have a master Yi on my team, and its a 4v5 because he actually does nothing and then he comes out and still does nothing.

Regardless of the how the Yi is implemented in my game, I don't have fun when he is present. Why is Yi not #1-5 of the champ update list, he is the epitome of garbage design

Thats cute and all, but have you ever laned against Heimerdinger as an immobile melee champion?

That, is what not being allowed to have fun feels like.

The worst thing is how much he is d--b, but still performing. Performing like, actually 1v9 with a couple of items. No comboes, no positioning, nothing. Q and AA, sometimes R. And no, the W reset is not "skill".

Still, this company keeps him in his state, and they even preferred to nerf Taric's ult when Yi was the problem in the funneling strat.

Oh look, now he's abusing the Yuumi duo.

Unbelievable, these so competent people failed again, how come :o)

When it comes to video games that you have a massive roster of different characters that you will play with and against, you will not like all of them, plain and simple. You will find a core few you love, some you like, you will be indifferent to some and utterly hate others. Don't confuse hate for needing fixes or changes because there is likely many out there who feel the same way about your champion.

You might not like how Yi plays effectively, but at least he works, there are other far more needing champions like Wukong, Volibear, and Fiddlesticks who need attention.

Yi is an Elo Guardian. His job is to make sure players can't win games without correctly answering some fundamental question of league.

Nasus Top, Mundo, Yorick top, Garen Top, Volibear JG, Master Yi JG, Brand Supp, Teemo Top, Blitzcrank Supp, Rammus JG. They all are asking you some fundamental question, which if all 2-5 players on the enemy team answer correctly, their winrate will be negative(with some exceptions, blitz ult is op right now and Rammus just got a meaningful buff that's due for a revert).

Nasus: Do you know how to stop someone that scales from farm?

Mundo: Do you know what an Executioner's Calling is?

Yorick: How do you deal with a splitpush?

Garen: How do you force and win extended fights?

Volibear: Can you isolate and focus a single target?

Brand: What do you do when the enemy support is very squishy and has no escape?

Teemo: Can you tell the difference between frustration/kill pressure and actual win conditions?

Blitzcrank: How is your positioning?

Rammus: Is your team dealing only physical damage(so-called "full ad")?

Master Yi is asking this: Do any of the laners know how to rotate to help their jungler? If Yi gets rotations and the enemy team does not, he wins. If you rotate to help put Yi in the dirt, he loses. This is why funnelling him with Taric works so well, Taric is basically a laner that is 100% rotated to jungle and very good in 2v2 situations.

This sucks more than anything for the enemy jungler, because there is ZERO counterplay for him. He's not asking the enemy jungler anything; it is incumbent on the laners to do something about Master Yi in the jungle, not the enemy jungler.
