"Lifesteal is fair and balanced"

Okay. So tell me why a HALF HEALTH YI CAN TANK A FULL MF ULT AND NOT DIE.

Fair, right?

If you think that's not balanced, take a look at ADCs becoming drain tanks

I mean, Yi is basically a melee ADC. I hate lifesteal in general though.

So who is it that you are quoting? Because I don't really see anyone making that statement.

Riot? Every ADC main in the game? All the white knights?

You used the term white knight very incorrectly. Go listen to Tomi Lahren more pls.

The question in here is not "Why is lifesteal OP like this?"

The question is "Why is the ult doing no damage?"

The reason why Yi is tanking an MF ult and not dying is because the ult does little damage because the player built half of two different builds, is missing key items from both the builds, is stacking percent armor reduction items, and is using it to attack a target that has, at best, a total of 9 bonus armor to penetrate.

If he had one LS source then he would be dead. But he had item 3072 item 3153 and Warlords.

If he had one LS source then he would be dead. But he had and Warlords.

That's the problem though, there are way too many sources of lifesteal and regen on hit. item 3153 item 3072 item 3812 all these plus warlords is so ridiculous to try and fight.

I jumped onto an enemy ashe last game as Irelia, she had Bloodthirster, She proceeded to heal any damage I did to her and kill me. I had 1200 health and she had like 300. How is that even remotely fair and healthy for the game.

Not to mention that just bloodthirster and warlords gives you 40% lifesteal below 200 health.

^ This. We remove spellvamp because mages are sustaining more than they should, but squishy ADCs and melee ADCs just drain tank more than Vlad ever did.

Yeah, first of all lifesteal in that scenario isn't even applied in a proper way to be relevant and/or appreciated, second master yi is hittling weaker than a melee minion, maybe the problem is there, third you used "white knight" in the wrong context so i don't know what the hell are you talking about. Also there is PLENTY of counterplay to lifesteal, especially in bronze where kindred and yi get picked.

You seem angry, despite the fact that Yi did die. Look at the last second of the video. 1 for 1.

Plus, it looked like he was far more fed than you based on the difference in towers.

because without it, squishy champions wouldn't be able to exist. They would never be able to teamfight b\c they would instadie before they could get any damage out. especially melee champions, but even adc's would be unplayable without it

Their

Squshiness

I know people don't seem to want to believe that, but ADCs are SUPPOSED to instantly die if they get caught out, and they're SUPPOSED to be poked easy. They're not supposed to be able to sit there and tank through everything and instantly win every fight if they're not CC locked.

Oh? Some mage used his l33t skills and hit me with a projectile 1000 units away? Better recall cause i have no lifesteal and no way of gaining back health.

Adc are squishy, but have sustain, if you dont focus them they will kill your team, thats their role, thats why they are the focus of everyone. If you think 20% life steal will save an adc from a vel, or syndra combo, you need to get better.
