Master yi just did most of his damage as true damage on me

EEEYYY 20 STACKS BABY!

OP, OP, OP

EY EY EY EY EY EY EY!!!

Any fight with a Yi in it won't last more than 5 seconds.

Plus resets.

He was 2 levels ahead tho. That's what many people just miss to point out.

As what? A full build Singed with all of the items you listed gets 4-shot by Yi.

Any tank including but not limited to Singed as well as a good chunk of bruisers like Irelia and Jax. (although they would probably not have a Glory)

People are overestimating this item. Yi literally cannot 4 shot a full build tank Singed even with the most damage heavy build imaginable. This item adds around 50 extra true damage per attack on average, a little more if Yi goes super AD heavy, which isn't actually what makes it strong on Yi, but it seems to be what everyone is complaining about.

Yi still has the exact same problems that have always plagued him though, namely that he's fucked if any CC lands on him in a fight and he can't do anything to anyone with a thornmail.

thornmail increase your armor which reduce the hp damage AND the lifesteal, get it? it also reflect 30% of the damage done AND MASTER YI has less hp then you, he will simpely die.

Here's the thing, this isn't DOTA.

This game isn't balanced around counterpicks, at least not anymore.

Basically, it really doesn't matter if Yi has counterpicks, because if you don't counterpick him, he's going to make your life miserable.

Same goes for and the list goes on and on.

The problem with these champions aren't the fact that they carry hard, or can be insanely potent in the right hands, but the fact that they're so binary.

You counter Darius? He's going to be miserable the entire game.

Darius counters you? You're going to be miserable the entire game.

Honestly, the best example of perfect amounts of counterplay is the matchup between and .

Both have clearly exploitable weaknesses that each of them can capitalize on, and the match-up is 100% skill based.

Now, not every champ is going to work that well. But even in instances where a champion has an edge over another one, it still is skill dependent.

For example, I main Gangplank. I am perfectly ok with laning against a Pantheon. I am not ok with laning against a Fiora.

With Pantheon, I know that if I make smart descions, I'll eventually outscale him, and probably be able to kill him if I'm more skilled with GP than my opponent is with Pantheon. There's a possibility there.

With Fiora, I know that if I make smart decisions, at best I'll be able to farm effectively under tower, and at worst I'll feed her horribly. Out of the couple dozen or so matchups I had specifically against Fiora, I've only truly won one of them, and that's because my opponent was wickedly inexperienced with her, while I have pretty much gotten GP mastered.

Teal Deer: Reworks aren't just thrown around, they're used for the most egregious of balance problems this game has or has had (see AP Master YI, old Critplank, old Soraka). Riot doesn't rework because they just feel like it, they do it because there's literally no other option. Soraka was always going to be useless or the unstoppable lane freezer. Gangplank was always going to be the level 1 insta win or run OOM cheeseball. AP Master Yi was never going to go away unless he was reworked.

It also might have to do with the amazing quality of reworks to come out of riot recently. Everyone wants a chance to have their champion Sion'ed or Ashe'd or maybe even Ryze'd at the risk of it being Cassiopia'd.

A kit is healthy when it can be buffed or nerfed into a viable state just by sheer numbers without being oppressive. This usually means a lot of power but a lot of counter play. Perhaps we have too many kits that do not fit this criteria, and thats why so many reworks are called for. I agree frustrating to play against is not a good enough reason to rework... but i believe Riot has shown that they believe it IS a good reason for a rework or at least a nerf. So now the goal for a rework is fun to play as, fun (or at least able) to play against, viable. Riot has opened the door for anyone who believes that a champion does not fit those three things should be reworked.

Well at least thats my theory

he bought 2 botrk? Pretty sure the fact that he brought 2 armor pen in the form of BC and LW that he does mostly physical damage. Botrk also does physical damage.

He didn't buy two botrk, devoured applies its passive twice.
