(I marked to play from the moment of when Yi is shown so you don't have to watch the full video, and even if he was fed and a head look at the damage or the cooldowns on his abilities on the hand).

##Can we talk about the fact how many indirect buffs he has received over the course of numerous patches lately?

First it was the addition of Conqueror (granting even more True Damage), then it was Lethal Tempo buffs (not that Master Yi players take it over Conqueror that often), followed by the buffs when Rageblade got changed, then followed by the item changes for this V8.11 patch.

Essence Reaver changes felt like an excuse to buff him directly because of how it works (Since his Q cooldown is reduced per AA). Infinity Edge now also grants bonus True Damage, which also doubles the Critical Strike chance (Rip Yasuo Passive). And to top it all off, the changes to the Lord Dominik's Regards now grants total armor penetration (no longer bonus armor penetration), he's become a Vayne on Mundo steroids now.

True Damage Bonuses:

  • Wuju Style (E)
  • Conqueror
  • Infinity Edge

Then again remember that any effects he applies he will apply twice because of his Passive and Rageblade.

Usually the excuse would be that he can be shutdown by CC but Essence Reaver fixed that issue by making his Q available to him every 2-1 seconds making him kind of untargetable and in that time he has the window to kill you.

Seems like the only option is to ban this champion even though others need the ban more than him. It's sad.

##What are everyone's thoughts on all of this?
