This master yi shit is over the top now.... nerf like yesterday

The amount of damage per hit is crazy... a single autoattack dealing enough dmg to take 30-40% off health from a warwick who's considered tanky. Not like yi needs some extensive/expensive build to do it either. Farm 6k to build a shiv and infinity edge and your good to go... it's become plain stupid... just using him is trolling anymore... Yea i know hard CC shuts him down.. but good luck landing it since any seasoned player will dodge your cc skill-shot using Q-Skill. No Ranged ADC can burst down a tanky champion in a few hits, yet yi has no problem doing this... Where is the balance? I've seen Riot nerf champions for far less... I completely feel the frustration others are having when saying they wont play LoL until yi is fixed.

A smart ww will destroy yi. All he needs is one other person with him, ult yi and i promise yi will be dead before ww's ult is completed. Yi is incredibly squishy and the only time i see him get pentakills is when the enemy team is full of the kind of players that blow their ult and all their summoner spells in order to chase someone across the entire map. I'm tired of people who cry about Yi calling him easy and OP because he's not, he is hilariously squishy and has serious mana problems. Surviving as master yi requires knowledge on when and how to enter a fight, and you really need to get the timing down on alpha strike and meditation, otherwise you will get vaporized in teamfights before you can get your second basic attack down. The people who cry about Yi are the people who spam their entire ability set on the enemy tank just because Yi is nowhere to be found, and then cry about Yi being OP and impossible to defend against when Master Yi inevitably shows up a few seconds later and gets a quadrakill becuase your entire team is on cooldown for all their abilities. But at least you killed the enemy tank, right?

If yi is such a noob champ why don't you try playing him then? He's 450 IP so you can afford him, and he is a strong jungler since the current meta favors sustain. Then you will see that master yi is actually quite difficult to use against anyone but the most incompetent of league players.

Wanna play a real noob champ? Go play Tryndamere . He's designed for players who are so bad at keeping themselves alive in a fight they need an ult that makes them impossible to kill, even though he is innately tankier than yi. Don't even get me started on the fact that unlike master yi, tryndamere doesn't have mana problems, has 30% free crit, and has a damaging dash move that functions as both a gapcloser and an escape, along with a semi-reliable, yet extremely strong slow (master yi has no CC whatsoever).

Akali is broken because she has a huge amount of built-in spellvamp and hybrid damage, which gives her ridiculous sustain and makes it a headache to itemize against her damage. Zed is broken because he can autoattack you for 700 physical damage AFTER he pops an ult that is capable of killing tanks in one cast. Yi is not broken, you just don't know what you are doing wrong and instead of learning from your mistakes or playing him to discover his weakness, you would rather jump on the "Yi is an OP noob champ" bandwagon. You say others refuse to play until yi gets fixed? Good riddance, players like them who whine about Yi are players who don't care to try different strategies, I don't need them on my team and i'm happy they are out of the matchmaking pool.

Meanwhile, ADCS can do the same without having to be in melee range

So true i was just against a master Yi he wasnt even fed! But his damage holy fcking sh*t! His entire team was crap BUT THAT DOESENT MATTER BECAUSE MASTER YI IS MASTER YI! I was more fed than him.. like double the kills and i couldnt take him down! Riot is just retarded atm..

So he hit you with a Q Crit plus Double Strike Crit with Shiv. After that, he's pretty much fodder to be fed on, especially for a decently built WW.

Players like Jelly is why he won't be nerfed and I can play him every game if I want. Je suis "smart players". I'm laughing straight to the bank. Granted Yi is far from a free win like some adc mains like to complain, he is still ridiculous. The highest ranked one trick pony in Korea (challenger) was a Yi for a good while... Challenger and Master KR would ban it whenever he was on that's how good a strong Yi is. Try that for incompetent players

Remove the true damage change to magic or physical. Problem solved.

If we reduce Yi's Damage will we give him extra mobility like Ward / ally unit Jumps like Lee sin and Jax? Or maybe more reliable way to harass his opponents without exposing himself to danger?

Or we just gonna nerf him while ignoring all his other problems?

He has always been like this, now he just does true damage.

I play master yi all the time and he is squishy. Single CC or slow and he is dead doesn't matter what level. I died way too many times to realize Yi should never dive 1st or 2nd in a team fight. Yi is probably the weakest in terms on ability and true damage is one in 4 hits.

If you are facing an enemy team Yi.. stun him, kill him and then their adc. Yeah i have seen too many games ( my team + opponent) where they target tanks :/

( I used Yi build on machine gun lulu and get similar results, except that lulu has annoying abilities for stun, poke, peel, silence, slow .. you name it)

Completely agree the champion is broken and mainly played in low elo never in lcs so theres no reason to keep him strong like that for professional purposes. He cant be slowed while ulting so when a adc sees him they may aswell tab out and wait until they respawn. The champion is broken and high elo players will call us bad but thats the reason your high elo and hes not played in your ranks.

You know what I love? Every time the public calls for a nerf on a OP AF champ, a few others are like "well play this champ or that champ and gg" naming off a couple at most 4 champs. Why do you literally need to play 3-6 champs out of 123 just to counter one chanp...? Stop being stupid. Champs that can walk around and stand there and swing and build tank and swing out slaughter an entire team needs nerfs. League community....stop supporting champs you rank in just because you can rank with them and start trying harder to create a real, skilled, balanced League of Legends.
