The continued nerfs to yi (the next champion to get sejuani'd)

I actually like yi. I like him. I really do. Stop nerfing him and get rid of the real fucking problem. SATED DEVOURER

This is just like cinderhulk. Was overpowered in preseason and so they nerfed....sejuani. Then they nerfed the item that overpowered her and shes fucked now because no one in "the club" cares enough to revert her changes.

Sated Devouter is the problem. Not Yi.

Stop. Nerfing. Yi. I do not understand why Rito so committed to this motherfucking item.

Removing Sated Devourer would be the most severe nerf short of an extreme gutting of his numbers you could give Yi.

Without sated devourer, what would you build on Yi? Warrior? Lol. Warrior Yi is trash.

Dont know dont care. Why would you want any champion to be dependent on a single item for viability? not good idea.

Because before sated devourer Yi was trash.

I don't want my favorite jungler to be trash.

Sated is fine. Strong in solo queue, not very strong in competitive play. Favors late-game scaling over early game dominance, as the champions that get it are usually fairly weak gankers wih little early game pressure. Fair.

Master Yi wasn't trash, he just couldn't afford to build item 3124, item 3742, item 3053, item 3156 because he wasn't getting a huge power spike from 1 item. Back when Wriggle's Lantern was around and before Feral Flare attack speed junglers could power farm but still had to build damage to deal significant damage. If Riot removed item 3931 and replaced it with Wriggle's Lantern there would be no need for Master Yi nerfs since he would be manageable for all those who are QQing.

I'm so happy that this cancer champion is going away in the god tier meta.

umm...Sejuani is still a good jungler even though cinder isn't what it used to be

she got double nerfed. Nerfed during cinderhulk meta. Then nerfed by cinderhulk nerf. Chances that she is still even as good as she was are not that good, imo. You could be right tho. I dont play her.

My Sea Cow1 votes

I stopped playing her when she got super popular as I hate playing the super popular champs but I don't see much difference honestly...maybe a tad bit squishier early on but that's really it

Good. Let's balance and work on champions that require you to sequence abilities and combos, not Q and right click.

Face Roll > righclicking?

Nahui1 votes

At least it requires clicking multiple buttons in an order. Not right clicking.

Woook3r1 votes

right clicking can be difficult. do not underestimate the difficulty of this task. Leblanc qwre not so much.

Nahui1 votes

Right.

Woook3r1 votes

adc is the hardest role. almost exclusively right clicking.

Wenderwall1 votes

What right clicking? Just one Right click and Auto-AA.

Nahui1 votes

And Yi is an ADC.

I do have to agree, devourer and rageblade are very toxic items currently

I know right. Sated Devourer has been around for one season. Yi has been here since the beginning. Yet they will fuck Yi for the sake of devorer. WTF

Indeed item 3931 is what is really strong not Master Yi, that is what is causing him to do absurd levels of damage. Whether or not you build item 3124 or item 3153 he will still do a lot of damage because apart from those items when Devourer becomes sated it doubles up the true damage on Wuju Style every other hit. These changes are making him harder to play especially with the changes to the ult from "extends" to "refreshes", he now only has 4 seconds to kill his target within or else it goes on cooldown which is very much similar to Darius' ult at ranks 1 and 2. I think that these should be the very last changes to MasterYi before they destroy his identity as a champion for outplaying and hypercarrying.

Regarding your title, the nerfs to Yi are no where near the amount of Sejuani's. It's not really comparable unless they were to make sated and guinsuu's completely useless, which they wont do.
