Give Yi more options for High Elo

Atm Yi is a low elo stomper but falls off really hard in higher elo I have thought of some new ways to give him options for laning/jungling . 1.His Q is a very important skill but it needs more options I would like to see if they made it where Q then hitting W made you instantly arrive to a target but it would only hit that single target . 2. Q then E before alpha ends would result in yi finishing Alpha where he started it this could just be used for alot of out play options and good for lane yi . 3. Give Q the ability to jump to your own wards this would act like the single target Q+W combo i mentioned earlier so yi could have a real escape which would greatly help his ability to lane an escape ganks . 4.This last one is just a buff make Q only go up 5 mana per rank 120 at rank 5 atm is idiotic when you got champs like Tryndamere Riven who just constantly spam dashes and have no mana costs then you got champs who mana cost is so low it might as well be 0 for there whole kit aka aton of top laners . I think changes like this would make the champ much healthier overall and could be used as a top laner more often as well as be balanced more for high elo with these kind of changes rather then just raw stat buffs aka more damage more health .play options and good for lane yi .

Okay so you want to give master yi all the benefits of playing LeeSin but without any of lee's weaknesses?

Yes because that sounds totally balanced.

Lee has a slow 2 dashes true vision when he lands Q CC knock back from kick what are you talking about i legit added a escape mechanic with ward dashing like jax who also has cc or you could compare it to fioras Q who can dash without a target on a lower cooldown .

I think the Q then W is a cool idea because you have to sacrifice your W in the process but the rest of the changes are not good for the games balance.

The Q+E change is just to let yi farm safer in lane for the most part its too easy to land skillshots if he uses it to farm ever since you know exactly where he is after . Like I posted before the ward jump mechanic is mostly to escape and its a very limited mechanic since you need wards its purely a defense mechanic since 95% of the time it makes more sense to just alpha the target and actually do damage to them also if you used alpha to a ward to catch someone you would only go to the ward as they continued to run away rather then just alpha them as there moving and be right on them as it ended .

isn't high ELO the point where you need to start using champions with the ability to outplay?

If you start watching cowsep's older educational videos you'd realize yi has INSANE outplay potential both mechanically and by decision making, especially in handicap fights (up to 1v3).

Korean soloQ is riddled with diamond 1/master tier master yi mains that even play him top which further proves my point.

Only reason he isn't viable beyond that is because his playstyle doesn't fit the the current meta and only act as a liability unless you build a team entirely around him, which Faker's been able to pull off in LCK.

Even champs like Fiora, Yasuo and Tryndamere (to an extent) provide more utility than him and synergise with ANY team comp better than he does.

Issue with yi isn't lack of outplay potential, it's the fact that designed to be a 1v9 champ in a 5v5 game, which is already a death sentence to a jungler.
