Yi Taric Strat Is NOT OK "creativity"

SirPurrr··2 votes·1,011 views

It's just freelo and mindless. Requires zero skill from mid and next to no skill from Yi. If they don't hard int, they just autowin vs everything. Game's done automatically past 35 min if their keyboards are functional. It's incredibly dumb and unfun to face. There is no intelligence besides thinking of it and someone else did that for these players anyway. it's a classic reason for why I'd prefer a true SQ option. I don't want to deal with these duo abuse strategies. And yes, they are ABUSE because you cannot stop them as a SQ team realistically... especially with some duos having practiced them countless times. The MMR handicap is minimal compared to what a duo can do if they actually are trying to abuse duoQ to climb. Yi's a dumb enough champion without funneling strategies and an invuln R.

It is okay if there is proper counterplay and people simply are not adapting quickly. If there is not enough counterplay then it either signals a meta shift (aka everyone starts doing it) or it is unhealthy.

Considering the amount of champions that would be pushed out by it becoming meta I think it's safe to say if it doesn't have real counterplay it is unhealthy. Now we just need to figure out whether or not there is an effective way to play against this strategy.

you're wrong, even Dopa loses to this in top 10 challenger CN server and it has a nearly 60% win rate in plat + too

there is absolutely not sufficient counterplay... they hard push the wave on cd and scale automatically... you can only coinflip a hard winning bot top and end before 30... only chance

What exactly was I wrong about? You didn't reply with anything that contradicts what I said.

Banning champ X is not countering. That means Champ X is broken and needs addressing.

It has no way to counter it so no it should not be allowed to live.

Yi and all "Hypercarry" champs need to be reworked.

"Hypercarry" is another name for "Ops we made them stupid OP mid to late game but someone important in Riot likes to play them so we dont touch them"

Its NEVER a good design in ANY game.
