Yi & Rageblade

So, self explanatory, this is about Yi & and that thing :/, from what I remember, he needed damage items to do damage, I main sej and amu, and I was Sejuani, quite fed, enemy Yi was like 2/10 or something, but he lasted until late game, so well played, my score was around 13/1 or something like that, I built off tank, so abyssal, rylais, dead mans, etc

Anyway, I lost that game. I lost it because of this Yi, he also built tank, sated, bezerk boots, RAGEBLADE, deadmans, visage, and a mogs.

So, it kinda went like, Yi jumps in, ofc I cc him, hes locked, his team engages, Yi still isn't dead, WTF right? hes YI right? shouldn't he be dead?

I q'd him, waited a sec, R'd him, he starts healing, my Q is up mid heal, so I cancel it, he Q's and my HP, well, what I only describe as... got melted?

So I check his build, he's barely got any damage items, and he cleaned me in less than 3 seconds.

Now of course I wasn't happy about this, I investigated this Yi, to test it, does he really need skill? was this Yi that awesome? was he smurfing?

So I decided to try it out, copied his things, and of I went, all I can say is, BROKEN, the amount of effort and strategic building I have to do as Sej, do I build this? how much AP am i against? how much AD am i against? can I initiate or do I peel? will this or that work? all of this.

Well when i played Yi, it's a simple procedure, farm, build, wait, kill.

Every game, no matter who ur vs, even if they have CC, ur tanky enough to do smth, their team have to focus you, so even if you die, you win.

I don't want yi to take all the blame, I believe rageblade should take some too.

Feel free to downvote this if your a rageblade user, but please if you believe in champs like sej, do whats best :P

Its not rageblade that was killing you it was the sated devourer. It makes you attack twice every time and with Yi's passives he just dumps all KINDS od damage cause each attack is 4 attacks. You don't need a lot of base damage when you hit 4 times in one swing. Next time get Thornmail and watch Yi kill himself.

Downvoted because you think sejuani is actually strategic champion. just because Yi builds tanky doesn't mean he shouldn't do damage,that's the point when your entire kit is aa focused. Some fighters like you deal damage,CC and tank,while a tank Yi will just do damage and will tank something.the strategy you were talking about is build,which basicly every champ needs to use,you are not special hun. Anyway,I agree that the rageblade is a major problem(yes,I don't build rageblade at all except maybe on jax.) It caused dramatic buff to any melee auto attacker champ,holding the highest record of gold efficiency in the game while fully stacked. You didn't lose because tank Yi is "broken",you lost because your team probably sucked and couldn't maintain the advantage

Had a yi do that build on me a bit ago. Did great early but then I got dated and guinsoos on trundle and we started team fighting and he just kind of evaporated when ever he went in from then on.

Guinsoo's isn't the problem, its Yi's interaction with Sated. He just kind of hits 12 times a second due to his ultimate and passive.

I don't remember any new Yi meta,most players play him as an assassin. However,even when building tank,he still require ingaging, and mechanical strategy,he isn't immortal as you you are trying to describe him. But I still agree that rageblade is the problem,not just for Yi. If I had the power to delete it I wouldn't hesitate... About the gold plat,of course there is a difference,but very small,even in low diamond silvers walking free
