The two reasons I hate Yi

I Main Swain··4 votes·654 views

First off, i'm not crying nerf. i'm just saying why i hate yi, because this is something i have always seen since i started playing at the start of season 3.

every master yi player who does well just waits for the teamfight to be basically over, then ults in behind you and cleans up from the squishies forward. the only times i dont see that happen are when he really gets no benefit out of doing that or when they aren't very good at yi and just try to charge through your team. there's not much you can do about it, because it's not like you can just save all your abilities until he comes. it kinda takes the fun out of a match for me when there's a situation like that where i can't do very much about it short of hunt yi down before every teamfight or just cower in my base.

the other thing that annoys the crap out of me is that if the enemy team is losing and they have a yi, especially if you dont push very quickly, you can bet your balls he will be backdooring all game. any time you push out past the middle of the map or down one side, yi will doubtlessly be on the other end taking towers faster than you can b. it isn't exactly a super hard problem to solve, but its still annoying as crap when you're doing well, pushing down a turret and you realize that in the time 3 of you pushed to turret and destroyed it, he's taken 2 turrets and is chopping away at your inhib.

again, i'm not begging for nerfs or anything like that, i just wanted to say that this is what i cant stand about yi.

trynd is worse

i have mixed feelings about when people complain about tryn, since i used to main him. personally, i think that 90% of the problem with him would be solved if they reworked crit chance. either way though, i dont think he's worse than yi. at least he doesnt go untargetable at all, and can be slowed. as for damage, i think yi dishes it out a little bit faster.

Lol you can always save cc for yi why do you think so many people complain about kat at lower Elos because they just waste their cc on stupid stuff like tanks. You gotta manage cc and than proceed to gain freelo when enemy picks master yi.

he will be backdooring all game.

He's not the only one. Trynd and Udyr do that as well a lot too.

Usually even if Trynd is fed though he only backdoors, same with udyr. Yi is different because his teamfight and split push both rock.

The dyr's teamfight is 10,000% better than Yi's. O.o He can tank, he can stun, he can flame, he can chase, he can escape.

Yi just presses R, Qs in, gets 2 autos off, and then dies.

If you team fight like that with yi that is why you think he is bad. Udyr just get kited for 6 days and nights then dies.

realistic would be that he´s kited for ~4sec before he goes down later on in the game...

I'm not crying either about nerf because I sometimes play him aswell. But talking about fairness he needs to get a change at his "Q" and a nerf to his "R". About his "Q" they should do something like they did to Fiora's Ultimatum because when using it you can't do anything and he does damage to anyone like Fiora's old Ultimatum and delete attack speed on his ultimatum because he will already buy a lot of attack speed.
