Master Yi in Patch 6.9
Riot, pls revert the nerfs on master yi in patch 6.6 and 6.8. As he cannot abuse sated devourer anymore.

I think the idea that Yi should be building damage items, and not bruiser is how Yi should be played. Crit Yi, massive attack speed and lifesteal Yi. None of that rageblade tank bruiser crap.
God forbid Yi players adapt to utilizing the other items they can buy, perhaps with a more AD/Attack Speed heavy build path to take advantage of his reworked Wuju Style.
Also, Yi's kit has been stable for a long time. Before he had devourer, he was just balanced. Just revert everything as if Season 4.
It's okay by the time you hit rage blade you will still be OP as fuck.
Yi will probably go tank, it isn't completely dead. I still see few plays where Yi is building
,
+tank
With black cleaver being cheaper + effective, it new build might be

or
or 
That said Glass Cannon Yi was and is still viable.
For his ult, 10s + 4s/takedown is just balanced. 7s is not enough and +7s/takedown is too much. Yi cannot kill a tank even with his ult (need about 3s to chase and only have 4s to attack). And have you seen a teamfight that last for 42s (especially with Yi)? This change ruined Yi.
There are so many Yi haters saying "nerf Yi", "Yi is still too op after nerf". However, Master Yi's winrate (jungler) in ranked games has dropped to 49.8% according to http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/ Try Master Yi IN RANKED GAME before bullshitting.
Yeah, this sucks. If Yi is going offtank now, he will do 0 dmg. If he is going full dmg, he will be instadeleted and anyways he will have less dmg than the old guinsoo + devourer...
My opinion is that they only needed to nerf a bit the sated devourer and the powerspike of guinsoo... But not, they nerfed Yi as fuck and they fucked the 2 items too, ok. RIP Yi
Lol, nope
I'm just playing him with the classic crit build, new PD is much better than old PD on yi now.
