Yi should be nerfed in ARAM

handoftheemu·Sep 20, 2017·1 votes·786 views

I've played quite a few ARAM matches, and there is no champion I've seen who can unbalance a match quite as quickly and brainlessly as Master Yi. With the limited space of the bridge, dodging skillshots is more difficult, which gives certain champs an advantage (Lux, Twisted Fate and Miss Fortune, for example), and the availability of walls helps Poppy and Vayne. Master Yi, on the other hand, has an overwhelming advantage in the limited space; once he ults, it is not his problem to deal with you, it is your problem to deal with him.

There are probably a dozen different ways to nerf him in ARAM specifically (there are ARAM-specific items, after all), and Riot needs to implement one.

yet in aram there is no YI afk power farming jungle til he gets 3 items and lvl 6 or higher before he ganks... there is no yi backing to buy more items when need only when dead...

and its harder for yi to use space in aram as it to dodge him ... which means it should be easier to cc him and blow him up .

I can't really understand what you're saying. Are you saying he doesn't have as much ability to move around, either, and that you "just" have to CC him?

If that's the case, he doesn't NEED to move around (because he's untargetable much of the time), and you may or may not HAVE any CC available to you (since the team comps are random). Again, though, it's fundamentally YOUR problem to deal with HIM, not the other way around.
