Question about yi and fiora nerfs

so i think everyone agrees that these 2 champs needs nerfs since they can deal high damage without having to build much damage items my question is why exactly are they also nerfing glasscannon fiora and kind of buffing glasscannon yi?

Fiora Duelist's Dance (Passive) ** Base Damage down to 2% of target's maximum health in true damage from 3% Bonus AD Ratio changed to 4% from [2.8% - 4.5% based on level] Bladework (E) Slow reduced to 30% at all ranks from 40/45/50/55/60% Attack Speed Boost no longer multiplicative.**

Master Yi Wuju Style (E): AD ratio changed to 25% bonus AD from 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% total AD. [NOTE: AD scaling changed to BONUS AD from TOTAL AD. Should be a nerf when not buying AD but same or better when buying AD.] Flat damage increased to 12/19/26/33/40 from 10/15/20/25/30.

this maybe solves the problem with tank yi (still i dont think he should get the flat damage buff) since he now needs ad items to make the best use of his e but i still wouldnt have a reason to build glasscannon fiora over tank fiora because they also nerfed her damage and gave her nothing in return lol and to me yi seems like a much bigger problem (because of item 3931 item 3124 ) any explanation?

Glass cannon yi is not an issue....never has been and never will be. He is too squishy to be a significant threat. It is this new "tankyi" meta that makes him an absolute nightmare. Kind of similar to the AP Yi days, they simply removed that and forced players to build glass cannon...then he disappeared from the meta. Now, they are removing "tanky yi" and forcing players to go glass cannon again...and Yi will soon disappear again.
