how do you counter yi

you cc him but he goes invisible and untargetable because of his q always being up, you cant kill him while hes low anymore because of the damage reduction and heal buff on his w, and you cant catch him out anymore because of his immunity to slows during his ultimate. its really annoying 5v1'ing a yi and still losing half the team in the process against someone who you supposedly "shut down" in the early game. im not saying to completely nerf the shit out of him but having all of these qualifications at once is super hard to play against unless you organize a specific comp to counter him, or going out of your way to spend x amount of gold on super weak resistance items now that lethality is buffed out the ass. fights don't feel like fights anymore, its just "catch x person out and win fight instantly bc of massive damage loss on the other side" instead of skill.

CC him after he Qs or before he is in range.

Part of my brain screams every time i see people fire CC at an approaching Yi

Play Jax, Jax counters his entire kit while having a dmg source of his own.

So Yi is heavily reliant on item powerspikes, if you kill him early and take his camps, you haven't really shut him down. He can just keep farming and working to those items throughout the game. You need to constantly pressure him if you're a jungler and just sit on him.

In late the best advice is to run when he ults and peel for carries. This is because if everyone survives for 7 seconds, he loses his R steroid and gets botched. Also counter picks such as Jax, Rengar, Nid, Kha'Zix even a Shen top/Shen supp can use their W to block his autos and R to help their jgl. Anything that can contribute to sitting on him in his jgl and burst him down is good.
