My rant about Yi

So here it goes, first off, I'm Gold 5, so I'm obviously at the lower end of the LOL talent pool. However, I feel I have enough knowledge of the game to discuss the basic ins and outs. That being said, my opinion on Yi currently is as follows... He is broken.

Here's my reasons. Firstly, the old "Counter jungle him early" isn't viable, unless you are playing Lee Sin, in which case, you might delay him from his core items for 5-10 min, but as soon as he gets Rageblade and Devourer you will never win a 1v1 with him again, no matter how skilled you are. Whilst on the subject of his early game, for such a snowbally, late game hyper carry, his early ganks are still ridiculously strong, if he alphas onto you in lane, and you dont have flash or another escape, you're dead, his early damage and ability to gapclose are nearly pretty much without equal at level 3.

Next, "Hard CC", yes this can work, but at my current ELO, noone seems to save their CC for him, much less use it effectively, also even if your support Sona lands a godly crescendo just as he alpha strikes your ADC, whats the chance your poorly coordinated team will burst him in that time? especially since now he has Visage, Dead Mans Plate and GA after finishing his only needed dmg items (Rageblade + devourer)

"He's only strong when he's ahead" But how will you stop him having double your junglers CS by 20 min? Considering he clears faster than a Shyv on steroids. I've seen many a game where their 0/3/1 Yi 1v1'd our 5/2/3 Zed just by Q+auto+Q

"Kite him" No.

"Rammus!" This is a tricky one, recently I've tried this ALOT to try and deal with the surge of Yi's in my ranked games. Rammus is a fun champ, I did quite well with him, usually ending up around 0/0/5 by mid game. Then I see the enemy Yi, charging at me with his devourer and BOTRK. I use every spell available to me, taunt him, shield, ult, smite, q to disable his meditate, then one more Q and im dead, (yes, even with Dead mans plate + thornmail) the guy just cant be stopped, sure I can taunt him in teamfights, but that lasts all of 3 sec before he meditates and jumps straight onto our carry

"He takes skill" I'm sorry but no, q to gapclose, e to fight, w to avoid their big burst spells, r to chase really not that hard.

I'm sorry for the rant, and I appreciate if you've read this far, now before the "QQ Obviously just lost to a Yi last game" We actually won last game vs a Yi, I was Diana Jungle and I didnt everything right, counter ganked, took 3 of his reds before he could get them, got my laers fed, by 15 mn he was 0/2/0. But then it happened, Rageblade and Devourer happened, and the game took off, he got a straight triple kill on our FULL HEALTH bot lane and mid, then ran to drag and took that down in 5 sec. then proceeded to pick anyone off who dared step past their 2nd turret to farm, even our overly tanky singed. We won because thankfully he took all his teams kills and we managed to sneak baron after a lucky teamfight ace.

Ok, Yi might not win games, but he makes them a HELL of a lot harder than they should be, a behind Yi should be behind, just like a behind Tryn or Jax, his existance makes others who actually performed well in games sad when they get 2 shot by him.

Sure in higher divisions people can work together to counter Yi and make him irrelevant, but in my scrub division of silver/gold a Yi will stomp a game 9/10 times with little to no effort. Would a Diamond player want a silver/gold scrub in his ranked game, who only got to that MMR by stomping with Yi with almost no mechanical skill or game knowledge?

Please let me know your opinions, thanks for reading

TL;DR Remove Yi please Rito, he is just not a well designed champion
