As a Yi Main for over 3 years......

I have played Yi as my main jungler for over 3 years and i have experienced every possible good build paths for him and i have to say ,right now the thing that makes him totaly broken and hard too counter is Sated devourer. This season i almost never touched Yi because of the feeling that everyone plays him and i just dont feel like playing him anymore. If riot is gonna go for nerfs they should really tune down sated and rageblade before anything else because when they nerf champs and then their core items they end up like sejuani and unplayable.

Do what everyone else is not doing.

Don't build devourer/rageblade. Build full Crit/AS/AD Yi. show us how viable non-sated Yi is :)

The DPS vs squishies as tanky Yi is the same as crit Yi (ok, crit Yi can 2 shot, but sated will 3shot them), but you have actual survivability, can teamfight and don't care about burst.

As a Master Yi main, I agree with OP. However, I do go crit Yi, no Rageblade. It's weaker early on but stronger late game IF you play very well.

You can go full retard mode as tanky Yi and still live, killing everyone and tanking for your backline. Crit Yi is the backline - you wait for the CC to be wasted on your meatshields, so you can cleanup the fight.

huh, I bought sej yesterday and played her, amazing champion did very well, great jungler and I could see her a good top too, heck prob even a support if she didn't deal so much aoe dmg to creeps.

Yes, Sejuani is fine right now. She just went back to her usual lack of popularity. But the point still remains. I can see Riot nerfing all sated devourer users and then realizing it's sated that's broken, nerfing sated, and then the champions are left in the garbage bin.

And meanwhile their less common lane counterparts are taking hits for free.

No i get whar youre saying but they already hit yis e, hes only a problem because this is a very casual game for many balanced around a few, cc and teamfights with logic, ga etc counter yi. If ur below plat like me and most just play a heavy cc champ into him and ask ur allies before fights to focus him first. The answer is always tahm kench, the greatest champion ever made
