If Yi can build tank, then Fizz should be allowed too as well - it is only fair.

As the title says...

I see a few people build tank on MasterYi... With the only damage item being item 3153 - he still does a lot of damage.

However, when Fizz goes tank and his only damage item is item 3078; he gets nerfed a few patches later.

Both builds are incredibly toxic, so if Fizz is unable to build tank, then Yi shouldn't be able to build tank either - it is only fair.

This is totally backward. Yi should not be allowed to build Tank, for the same reason as Fizz.

And what is that Reason?

Those builds work because it allows them to shift to a new play style. Fizz specifically becomes a Diver. Yi with his High AS and Zero CC, would probably be more like a Juggernaut.

As such, you really need to compare them to other fighter types. Are the Tank builds of Fizz and Yi crowding out other choices? And what are those builds win rates?

Those builds remove intended weaknesses of the champs, and combined with the rest of their kit make them oppressive and frustrating to play against. Not necessarily OP, but much un-fun.

Yes Tank Fizz plays like a Diver, but what real Diver has such a free targeted mobility and slipperiness? Yes Tank Yi plays like a Jugg, but how are you supposed to kite him (the intended weakness of Juggs) with his slow immunity and insane move speed, especially if as a "Tank" he buys Deadman? Not counting Alpha Strike...

Tank Fizz or Yi should not be allowed to exist. And fortunately, they are not. They are regularly nerfed every time they show up, and this is not going to change any time soon. The bigger issue is that Riot should try and find a way to prevent them from showing up in the first place.

Yi doesn't have burst damage or a reliable escape spell. Other than his Q and R active (which only immunes him to slows), he has to stick to a target to do any damage and refresh his abilities.

show me a jungle Yi that doesn't at least build item 1419 + item 3153.

"only damage item being botrk" lol. Not to mention how he'll most likely build item 3156 and/or item 3026 as well, which are both also sub-damage items -_-

I can tolerate tank Yi more than tank Fizz. At least yi doesn't have an escape after he alpha strikes in. Fizz playful is on like a 4 second cooldown with max cdr.
