It's time to buff Master Yi

DamagedeIt··2 votes·737 views

Guys, Master Yi is proven to be weak in most team combo scenarios due to his low health and low damage from his ult coupled with movement speed which is not sufficient. We can still buff Yi in a passive way that retain his nature as high damage auto attacker. This is what happens in current Meta, Master Yi goes in and pull off killing the first target while taking the burst damage from all enemies. It's either he ended up dying before kills anyone or his health got so low after killing first target. Why don't we reward Yi with more damage after killing the first target? Because it's hard to pull off and Yi should do more than getting killed while damaging the target. We should increase his movement speed each time after consecutive kills and increase life steal after consecutive kills, because Yi should get rewarded for killing targets. He is always exposed to damage while slaughtering, so if we can reward him for each kill or assist. He will be a heathier high damage auto attacker.

Believe it or not master yi is one of the most difficult champs to play in the game. In low elo people just dont know how to deal with him. Master yi is probably one of the most balanced champs in the game. Everything you described is what takes skill to play him. Anything more or less than that will break him.

I don't think the OP knows how to play him. He's not an initiator. I'll agree that he falls off in high elo but that isn't a needs a buff thing, that's a he needs a more nuisanced kit thing.

He's bad at high level but too good in bronze for riot to straight up buff him. I think he needs a rework so he'll be more viable in plat+ and less snowbally in bronze.

You Guy are building him WRONG, he now builds tanky and hits hard as hell:

item 3930 item 3742 item 3748 item 3124 item 3111 item 3026 + AS runes.

And now with the changes on WB mastery he will have enough sustain to abuse this build.

In the other hand he is not ALWAYS exposed to damage while slaughtering, his Q makes him totally dissapear from the map, then he lands at your face like if he was zed and blows insane amounts of damage at you.

If anyone is interested you can check my item, it is for AP bruisers. can you see my custom item? I've made an icon for it! http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/buOIBEzA-the-phoenixs-talon-icon-made-by-me-3

Tanky Yi has been showing up a lot lately and doing very well. TBH, I think Riot realized their mistakes after reworking Yi, so they just gutted him with lots of nerfs and gave up on him. I think he needs another rework, not buffs or nerfs.
