After playing Master Yi for the first time in a long time...
He feels so fucking stupid.
Sure, early clear is a bit on the iffy side, but I mean. Blue side: Krugs -> Raptors -> Red -> recall -> get base jungler item (Skirmisher's Sabre I think was the name). Red side: Gromp -> Wolves -> Blue -> recall -> get base jungler item (Skirmisher's Sabre I think was the name). Then you're basically set, because you'll probably be about Level 4 at that time. At that point, your skill points are 2-1-1-0. That's enough to pretty much safely clear any jungle camp. Sounds fairly normal for any decent jungler at this point.
Except, it's also ridiculously easy to go in for ganks at that point, between picking off people with low health that run away behind tower (thanks to your Q damage and untargetability and damage, before running back out) and just straight up fighting them along side the actual laner(s). Yeah, Q dodging to avoid actual skillshots or CC or such might take a bit more skill, but for the most part, you really don't even need that because most people can't time for crap. So you just go about hitting them and rolling on your keyboard, they die, you get a kill or assist, go farm jungle some more. Hooray, now you got Devourer. Now you just start tearing through things in the jungle as you rush Sated, while still having stupid strong ganks.
Oh right, his ult. Why on earth is it every 75 seconds? For what it can do, 75s feels absurdly short, considering you'll probably get at least 1-2 kills/assists, further extending the duration it's actually up, which is more than enough to chase someone to your next kill or just run away. Sure, it's not like a point-and-click delete, but between your damage and the Q point, you'll still melt most people anyways.
Then you probably get Guinsoo's by this point, and Sated more or less shortly after/before. Now you really just shred people into nothing. AAs go so fast the animation just looks almost funny at that point, and you can see their health bar just vanishing in seconds. Unless you somehow manage to get like every CC on you, the only way you'll really die is being caught out with low health when you don't have your W up (read: not often). Or, tanking tower shots which do just about nothing while you essentially have a dance party after you melt the person/people you were chasing and then realize you stayed too long.
Oh fun, now I have BotRK. Hello, my low health, goodbye, my low health. Hello, my enemi- wait where'd they go? Oh they're all dead. Oh cool, my life is all the way back up to full.

Anyways...
Feel free to offer your opinions. Am I just bad and is this just my delusions of some supposedly absurdly stupid champ that really isn't? Or is there any actual merit to it?
EDIT: I have a relatively high number of games on him, but that's from wayyy back before any of this stupid Sated Guinsoo's shit was out, and I was just mucking around with Six Swords glass cannon, which was still stupid, but fun, and at least not so stupid as this imo.
is a stupid item.
shouldn't double its own damage every two hits or even have the double hit bullshit in the first place.
