"Hey, Yi's super squishy, just BURST HIM DOWN"

Seriously, every Yi thread there's one of these people who just assumes that every Yi is an idiot who 1v5's before every teamfight.

Every Yi thread there's one of these people who say he's ONLY a melee adc, disregarding the fact that he has an AOE/invincibility/Point&Click skill with a cooldown reduced when he autoattacks.

Every Yi thread there's one of these people who disregard the fact that he also deals a ton of true damage, so only stacking armor isn't gonna completely shut him down.

I play Yi a lot, and enjoy him quite a bit, but I'm not gonna resort to basic predictable arguments that Yi isn't broken right now.

Yi is not the only person on his team. Eight times out of ten, there's more to worry about than Yi. Fed marksman, fed tank, goddamn fed Annie main that decided to play one of the LEAST COUNTERPLAYABLE CHAMPION IN THE ENTIRE DAMN GAME, there are a lot more to worry about than just Yi. Many more champions to direct your CC and damage at. Unless their Yi is an idiot, he should know to stay with the group and fight when he should; usually as cleanup, for easier resets. That being said, if their Yi is an idiot, then he's not someone to worry about; if he is, that's on YOU.

In theory he's an extremely squishy melee hypercarry that dies instantly to CC

In practice he speeds in at mach ten from your flank, dodges all your CC with his untargetability, then instantly deletes your carries

The problem is exasperated by item 3931

I actually played Yi quite a bit. While I enjoy him a lot, I can't defend him.

Yi has had multiple moments in the spotlight, this isn't his first time.

Feast or famine MADCs are so oppressive in general, and now with Sated Devourer he's gotten out of control. I think people will start to see before Riot fixes this problem.

I also don't think Yi or other MADCs are that squishy.

The only think I really hate about Yi is that he has Damage Reduction: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70% on his W.

I don't think you guys understand the phrase feast or famine. You heard it when referencing darius and now you think it encompasses everybody that falls behind.
