[REMOVED] No longer deals bonus damage to minions

I guess nerfing Yi interactions with top/mid supporting him is a bad thing.

It's a nerf if you didn't know.

I find it hilarious that people consider a random manacost buff as the end of the world, when I have never ever seen a Master Yi out of mana. And yeah the nerfed waveclear is a big deal for nerfing Yi powerfarming lanes + jungle, which is literally the only thing that made him strong. But can't expect much reasoning I guess

People forget junglers have blue buff all the time.

I have to admit, I want to know why riot feels the need to give him the compensational mana buff.

Because he's shit when not doing the boosting strat?

Probably because they like to keep mana costs and damage for farming to a certain ratio, I'd guess.

I have no actual idea. But nerfing the cost of his Q isn't going to make him significantly stronger, though, so I can't really say it matters a huge amount either way.

Because yi isnt good. Hes a low elo stomper. He doesnt even need nerfs especially since they plan on looking into stopping the strat itself in other ways. Its not even a good strat, and theyve even stated as much, its just uninteractive and boring to play and play against. Once you learn your mid has free farm and jungle 2 free gank lanes the taric yi strat becomes a free win for the non taric yi team.
