Is Yi's problem really that he doesn't deal enough damage?

Nice PBE, this is what people talk about when they talk about powercreep. Is Yi really not doing enough damage?

Or are hypercarries and tanks so fucking overbuffed that anything that doesn't fall under those two categories and isnt a mechanically braindead egirl support is trash?

Yi needs speed, not damage. It is laughable that most champion will outrun him when he uses his ultimate, thats some bullshit right there. if you ever catch up to them, the duration of your ult is over. Sometimes i do not understand the thought process of the balance team. How will meditate make me catch up to my target.

You have to believe in the power of friendship and it will magically teleport you next to your enemy, make you immune to CC and have 10 s highlander with unicorns singing

Considering Yi has literally the highest DPS of any champion in the game no, his issue isn't him not doing damage.

Riot needs to cut the bullshit and put him in queue for a major rework. I'm tired of one of my favorite champions being perpetual dogshit.

Pretty much sums it up.

It's not a Yi problem, its a meta problem.

You're either an ADC who can burst everyone in 2-3 autos, or you're a tank that bursts out everyone else until 30 minutes.

Every other class is just outclassed by those two.

Well at least ricklessabaddon did listen to us when he reverted the meditate changes (that were pretty awful). And nah us Yi mains asked for highlander cd/duration reverts, not really damage buffs but it sort of got ignored

Pretty much the entire reason Yi was nerfed in the first place was back then he was insane with Sated/Rageblade/Sterak/Deadman build

He doesn’t need buffs, he needs nerf reverts

Also they guy that did the Nunu changes is also working on Yi
