When is Master Yi finally going to get a nerf?

Rigir··2 votes·1,319 views

I swear whenever i play a normal game and there is a Yi on the enemy team it is already game over. The champ has literally the lowest skill cap out of any champ in the game, but is capable of some of the highest damage not to mention its true damage and you CANNOT get away from him. Like why did he get a buff not to long ago when he was already broken? Now i know if you're in ranked or in draft you can just pick hard cc to counter him but that doesnt really work when qss is so cheap and easy to get and builds into something that is great on him. He kills tanks in about 1-2 seconds with his e true damage plus challenging smite and qss prevents him from being locked down and his ulti prevents any form of escape, unless you are Kassadin with a level 3 ulti and some cdr. I admit i don't see him that often when i play because he isn't played that much in higher elos, but to make the game healthier as a whole he should by all means be nerfed. Many of my friends aren't that high elo (Silver-Plat) so if i want to play with them i have to play normals and thus have to deal with this Master Yi oppression. Please Riot can you do something about this?

I come to you from the future, where his base damage is reduced and all his favorite items are nerfed.

Oh wait, that's right now this exact second...

He isnt fine in anyway! He is one of the highest damaging champs who does half true damage and only takes the skill of pressing r then e then right clicking and you can kill anything. And btw his Base damage doesnt mean jack shit when his true damage is what can make him kill a pure tank maokai in under 3 seconds.

Just to clarify, Challenging/Red Smite gives 4 seconds of bonus true damage for every AA. That's how yi gets True damage. His E is nerfed so it's better not activated.

In case wondering, I use the same Red Smite on amumu and shyvana. when my team is ahead a bit, I get item 3715. Without that, his true damage is reduced.

Last time they tried to "nerf" Master Yi, it was subjectively a buff. Even the "nerfs" on the PBE are poised to subjectively be buffs for Yi. At this point, hope they buff Yi, and they might accidentally nerf him.

I wouldn't care about this issue at all, if he couldn't absolutely decimate tanks in a couple of autos attacks, but he can. Being a tank with 400 armor gives 0 benefit vs a Yi, especially when he can just Qss your hard cc. I will admit i don't run into Yis' that often but whenever i do it never feels fair. I know i am not the only one who thinks this way considering all the hate i see others spew onto Yi players in-game. I don't think that brainless champs that a drunken monkey could play, should be able to oppress the entire enemy team.

Literally all you have to do is shut him down early and CC him. That's it. He won't be a problem.
