#E: base damage increased, ratio no longer scales; 25% at all ranges (5% bigger than before).
No wonder why Yi can pour over 600 true damage per second due to rageblade-devourer combo.
**Just to remmind you: **Yi is a champ that is weak to cc, I mean yes u can cc him.. and if he doesn't die he will wreck you, not like if 
could do that.
Wolfram Oxford2 votesThey buffed him tbh, increasing the base damage on Wuju Style means more synergy with Devourer and other attack speed items, ever since a bruiser build was popularized by Cowsep bruiser build has been the main way to play Yi.
Anraton1 votesSide note .. they changed is scaling from total ad to bonus ad .. means he also looses 111 ad to that damage ...
lets see he gets 25% instead of 20% .. to get even with his pre patch status ... these 111 lost ad have to be equal to 5% of his BONUS AD
111 = 5% <=> 2220 = 100% ... don't think he'll get that much AD .. but he looses much damage, if he builds tanky.
Did i miss something?
GayFluffyUnicorn1 votesHe still has fervor, he still abuses the insane rageblade and devourer synergy together with his AS slow immunity and double proccs. It's still impossible to build defensively against him and i guess tankyi will still be a thing.
Anraton1 votesok .. was was his "normal" itembuild befor 6.6?
YumaS2Astral1 votesBefore the changes on PBE, Yi would need 225 total AD to deal as much true damage as Irelia does on-hit. She does 75 true damage on-hit at Hiten Style's max rank. To be able to deal as much true damage on-hit, Yi needs 225 total AD and to max Wuju Style. This isn't completely difficult to get with only a few AD items, however; generally, a Guinsoo is enough. Considering that Yi tends to get a lot more attack speed items and that he has a natural AS steroid that also makes him immune to AS slows, Master Yi does more true damage on-hit than Irelia, even if he has a lower value.
20% of 225 is 45. 45 (the scaling) + 30 (the base damage) = 75 on-hit true damage which is the amount of true damage that Irelia does on-hit with her Hiten Style maxed.
However, with the new PBE changes, Yi will need 175 bonus AD to be able to deal as much on-hit true damage as Irelia. This is taking into account the changes to the base damage. Because base AD does not need to get into calculations now, Yi would need to get a lot more AD items to be able to deal as much true damage. Guinsoo is not enough, even when fully stacked. Not even with Guinsoo + BotRK, Yi is able to get to the old values. The only way that he can get to the old values is probably with a dedicated full damage build.
Sasogwa1 votes% total ad vs % bonus ad is completely different. It is a nerf
La Barbotte1 votesits a nerf to said build, not to the champion, so the build will change, he wont, same yi, different items, you'll see
Critmaster Garen1 votesthese changes are supposed to reward him more for stacking ad and attack speed, than for building tanky.
my guess is as long as fervor exists, the tanky on hit bulilds are not going anywhere soon. its more than a 100 physical damage on auto attacks that doesnt require building damage items.
imo they need to make the mastery scale with ad aswell before people are going to stop building on hit bruiser builds on melee adc.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesthe ratio was off total ad now its bonus so thats a good thing but its not as big of a nerf by any means. barely anything. not even a slap on the wrist. since they buffed the ratio and the base damage its gonna be pretty much the same
