Why isn't Yi scheduled to update ?

He seems to have all the perquisites for it:

  1. Bland kit.
  2. Very low scaling with skill and decisions.
  3. No clear counter.
  4. Generally good against everything.
  5. Outdated graphics.

Stopped reading to be honest.

Generally good against everything.

  1. Not even 100% winrate.
  2. Seen 0 times in Competitive matches.

Outdated graphics.

It's as good as Garen's. Nothing "outdated" about that.

He doesn't need any changes at all lol He's at the peak of his prime right now.

i mean seriously, all he does is autoattack, people that say yi takes skill is in denial.

"No clear counter"

What does yi actually counter himself outside of bronze? Lol.

He needs rework but because he's shit when not facing low elo, not because he's too strong.

  1. Bland kit.

Disagree. Incredibly fast skirmisher with huge damage scaling into the lategame.

2. Very low scaling with skill and decisions.

Disagree. Timing his Q to dodge key cc spells from the enemy, using W to weather damage, identifying points in a fight to go in and get kills for resets, all set him up to scale well with player ability and practice. He may not be the most skill-intensive skirmisher, but he's also certainly not the least (that would be Tryndamere).

3. No clear counter.

100% wrong. Hitting him with any root, stun, or knockup completely destroys him. Shield and healing champs who can screw him out of resets ruin his day. Early pressure when he wants to farm can keep him from ever becoming relevant.

4. Generally good against everything.

Except for hard cc, tanks that stay with their team, squishies that don't take excessive poke damage, and early pressure.

5. Outdated graphics.

He has looked perfectly fine since his visual update.
