Master Yi with his true damage and Rageblade is able to one hit any champion. Riot please change Yi's kit or change the items, thanks!

Rageblade
one hit

Can't do both. But yeah, Yi needs more counterplay

You do realize that I wrote my statement in spongemock font, meaning that it's sarcastic. Right?

In other news you are right. Riot seems like they like toning down point-and-click CC because that would be too strong against mobile champs like Yi, but in retrospect, they harm immobile champs even more.

Rageblade is getting nerfed in 8.13, dont worry.

It needs to be reworked or removed. Riot's tried nerfing it time and time again, and keep failing at keeping it balanced. The problem isn't the stats, it's the fucking Guinsoo's Rage passive.

It was problematic on Sated Devourer and it is problematic on Guinsoo's.

There are certain champions who are viable only because of guinsoos. Without guinsoos they would be trash tier. So, no, you can't remove the item.

Sated Devourer was removed in 6.9 and the rage passive was then added to guinsoos, when guinsoos was getting reworked.

I remember when Yi was at 45-46% win-rate for all of season 7, before patch 8.3, even when guinsoos existed with the rage passive. So,no, the passive is not the problem, its the free stats, and they nerfed it now in 8.13.

Sated Devourer was a problem because you could get the rage passive without having to stack.

Reworks suck, please no. I don't even want to imagine how many players would leave the game if Yi was removed (because let's be honest, the majority of the reworks replace the current champ with a new one).

rework sucks i agree but just look at low elo which i am s2 in this elo i havent seen any pentakill champ insted master yi in one game which i played 10 minutes ago we won everything and killed everyone we were full hp i was playing lux my friend was playing malphite and others was camille,missfortune,soraka. We killed every single of them i didnt have mana and master yi just turn on his ult he q one time he has rageblade and couple of things nothing special he q one time and he kill me and missfortune next malphite ulted him he just w and return his health after that they were spamming on master yi he got 2 quadras and 1 pentakill in this game + 3 triples we were on enemy nexus he killed us all we were focusing him but there was no point that amount of dmg and healing was insane to win the game thanks who will understand. https://matchhistory.eune.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUN1/1989651638/224563648?tab=overview

Flavi KangJun 26, 20181 votes

This stupid, retarded comment, is why riot should not listen to the boards while balancing champions.

"Oh this champion costs 6300 BE so it should have 60% winrate". No, thats not how it works. Champion balance is not related to BE cost.

In my personal opinion, I think that Yi's strength right now stems from the rune system and how much it has overtuned both damage and mobility. Not to mention that AD items are probably the strongest items in the game right now. I think runes and AD items should be looked at before yi.

Please get your fact straights. Yi does not oneshot anything, in fact his autos separately don't do that much. It's more like he has a bazillion hits a second with his crazy attackspeed, which melts you hardcore.

Aah, I remember the time they completely reworked fiora and her ult because she was "OP". They said somewhere that her ult was bullshit because she just had to ult and was untargetable for like 2 seconds.

Now yi is almost fkin untargetable for years. Ult, check - Q. Check - Essence reaver, check

Every 2 aa = q ready to be used again :( U can barely see the fker. Now add taric, kayle or anyone support that'll help his ass and he's almost un-killable. I see yi's everywhere, they don't even play the game properly as well. They just do that stupid meta with Taric.

I mean I don't think his kit needs changing other than making his q a bit manual. Like let's say he has a q like fioras where he has 3 q's before it goes on CD.

First q -> Jump to enemy and aa, Second q -> double slash Third q -> Blink for half a second

At least then it'll be a bit more balanced. Cause then it would require a bit more skill. It could be done better but meh.
