I tried a Yi vs Nasus custom 1v1 to see how good a lategame superstacked Nasus was

3.46 s That's how long Nasus lasted. item 3047 item 3078 item 3143 item 3033 item 3075 item 3110 with HP elixir.

Asked him for the stats of the fight, he said "385 armor" (without ult), 3058 HP (without ult) -> 3658 with ult. He got 3981 damage in deathrecap (he lifestealed a bit with Q). He had 1644 stacks.

The Yi build I had was item 3124 item 3046 item 3033 item 3153 item 3143 item 3071 . As reds+quints, scaling armor yellows and scaling mr blues.

Granted he could take more resistances/HP, but without item 3033 his Q's were too reduced by my randuins to be relevant enough, knowing he had such a short window to kill me before I killed him. We also tried with item 3025 . And anyway my build heavily countered all form of defense stacking. Later on I also beat him with 2000 stacks.

Is damage supposed to outscale tankiness that badly, even in a one-dimensional defensive build? (aka no need for magic res) Don't you think anti-tank itemization is a bit too powerful, and allows build that are not supposed to be good against tanks to work? (all the lethality + item 3071 item 3035 builds)

"I used the ultimate melee carry to kill anyone at full build. Man, anyone else is so underpowered in comparison to full build, late game Yi."

Master Yi is one of the best 1v1 champions in the game because his raw DPS is so high. Considering that Randuins and Nasus' W would be rendered ineffectual by Master Yi's ult, it's no surprise that Master Yi won.

cdr, not really about anything else. There's no good health + cdr + armor item, ohmwrecker is the only one and it sucks.

Master Yi counters Nasus. He has ridiculous DPS too. IT's meant to be that way. Take ashe instead, and things would be really different.

Nasus wither with the 90 percent uptime will eventually catch up and kill her. Specially if he runs ghost and Swifties. Ashe arrow won't stop him for long and qss will only cleanse 1 wither. If she has cleanse and qss maybe she could dps him down but if he flash Q's it's probably a 1 shot.

"Tankiness" isn't a word. Dr Evil was right

yeah, tank's are a bit too easy to shred but I'd rather have tanks be a little too weak than damage be through the roo- ohhhh waiiitttt

PS : yeayea I know Yi hardcounters Nasus, but still. It's just a free DPS carry lategame doing that. Other champions wouldn't have taken much more than that if they weren't attack speed slowed (think about any other tank with the same defensive stats). It's still kinda bullshit. Also I had 5 off items, not 6

About the Guinsoo's magic damage ; it's negligible, it's mostly about the increased true damage and botrk damage. Also Nasus ult makes him have 100+ MR

Master yi has no boots and you wouldnt build last whisper and BC on Yi, not unless the enemy team is all tanky. A better example of damage outscaling defense would be a juggernaut dueling an adc in melee range. All though Nasus with stacks can win in that case but others lategame?

Master Yi outright ignores Nasus' Wither and Meditate allows him to mitigate the damage of Nasus' first Q.

Master Yi has pretty much always been a counter to Nasus in the late-game.
