You nerfed his waveclear and removed the ability for him to funnel can I please get my waveclear back now this was an unneeded nerf if you were going to gut funneling anyway he basically got 2 nerfs when the first one basically got him in line I just want my champ to have a 50% winrate not 55% like wukong or quinn who honestly have an even easier play style quinn being a perma ulted yi with a 1 shot combo and wukong a cc 1 shot combo from stealth not to mention these champs can be played in almost everyrole but support .http://na.op.gg/champion/statistics

A Yi nerf brings a smile to my face.

Win rate is not a metric that should be used as the sole measure of a champion's balance.

Then what should you go by in pro play he is 100% dead without funneling .

Literally anything else besides just win rate. Use reasoning and analysis. Don't ask for buffs just because WR@47%.

Yi is supposed to be an easy champion, so if his winrate dips low, despite being easy for people who pick him up, that's a good indicator that he may be weak and needing buffs.

But don't just give win rate by itself as a reason. That's not persuasive or acceptable.

Also Yi is infuriating to play against. "Just cc him" is not valid as the only means of counterplay. So I'm honestly happy he's not in a good state, not because it makes him weak, but because it means that the meta sheep will go play something else.

Also Yi is infuriating to play against .Name 15 non support champs who are not when fed -_-.

Don't nit pick. If you're going to address my comment, address the whole thing. Picking out only the easiest point to debunk is just lazy.

Well most of the points you made were bad but that was the worst start an easy champ generally has higher winrates like singed or trynd .Also when people say cc is the counter well that's basically the counter to almost every fed champion or they just 1 shot you .

This was worse than the nit-picking. All you did here was look for the first possible excuse to dismiss each claim as meaningless.

Are you here to have a discussion or just here to seek validation and have people kiss your feet for being enlightened for "knowing" that Yi needs a buff?

He's not allowed to have a good winrate in Korean plat+

If he does, then he's a problem. According to this page from the same website, his NA winrates are...

50.51% overall winrate 50.38% bronze 50.09% silver 51.33% gold 50.46% plat 50.88% diamond 56.92% master (small sample size) 45.83% challenger (small sample size)

He's in a good spot. Probably the best spot he's ever been in.

That was before the funneling nerf if your going by last month .

Past 7 days, NA: 50.06% overall 49.72% bronze 49.55% silver 51.28% gold 50.11% plat 48.57% diamond 60.00% master (small sample size) 40.00% challenger (small sample size)

Low elo players aren't capable of utilizing the funnel strat my guy. He's in a good spot.

Master Yi, like Wu Kong, is an example of a champion that needs to be overhauled. This champ is just way too toxic to the game when he's actually good...like Wu Kong.

Win rate is brought way down by new players especially since he's only 450 easily obtainable. Yi is extremely overpowered in his current state. Meditate should REDUCE his defense, not increase it. And there is no reason for his ult to keep getting free extensions on every kill. It already lasts way too long as it is.
