Master Yi

Why has nobody called this guy out on Gameplay boards? He's currently pretty overpowered. Is anything going to be done to him like reducing his true damage scaling or nerfing fervor of battle?

yeah, fervor needs a nerf too. Right now, imo it is currently too strong on every auto attacker that uses it.

Edit: Maybe its too.

Because you're bad.

He's not FOTM so nobody is really going to bitch about it. Usually how it works. For now I recommend raking up that freelo as tanks are useless/out of the meta there's not much CC to stop you

FOTM. Sorry, so many acronyms I forget a lot of them. What does that mean.

flavor of the month, basically how Yasuo used to be super op but now it's Graves LeeSin Ahri and then in a couple weeks someone else will be op

Okay. That somewhat helps me but okay. Thanks.

Basically what chroma said. It's the meta picks or the people who are popular until the next update sends someone out of control and becoming pick or ban

Understood.

MasterYi is countered pretty hard by intelligent use of hard CC and mobility (just wait for him use his Q, then dump on him/dash away) Congrats, that is now stranded/stuck in a bad position in the fight. Proceed to punish. There's a reason you don't see Yi played in LCS. I get that he's annoying to play against, especially the lower in elo you go.

It is what we call mid to high elo knowledge. People who complain about stuff like that are in low elo and as such their micro knowledge is lacking. Even if they know it, actually doing it is a challenge for them.

I miss the times where Yi's Q was scaled on AP. :(

I hate Yi too. He builds tanky/lifesteal and bullies my whole team in 1v4 just this last game. My team was doing alright at first until yi started killing me in 3 seconds as I'm full tank Hecarim with no attack items. He carried for his team by ulting and autoing. He didn't even need to use his skill on our team because all he does is heal off of everybody's health and melt orianna. Also, he is too fast and can easily dodge anyone's skillshots by q'ing melees and autoing to reduce the cooldown. At least lower his speed (not attack speed) by a little or reduce lifesteal put on him so that we actually can live long enough to do damage to him. He was going tanky as well, with 2.5k health. Yi's early game makes my Orianna wish that she could skip the game because everytime Orianna tries to ult him, he takes no actual damage because of his magic resist and lifesteals the oil out of her. The worst build about yi is when he goes lifesteal tank, because he already has enough attack speed to sustain in teamfights.

Best build is on-hit bruiser, with hyperscaling on-hit due to item 3153 item 3124 and his E on-hit true damage. item 3047 item 3143 item 3156 item 3071 (or item 1419 if jungle)
