Is Riot even aware of Master Yi existence in this game?

Do you know how deeply dumpstered this champion is? It came to the point where nobody wants him in team cause Master YI has NOTHING. No damage No survivability No cc No utility His kit is like 1/3 of any meta champion kit with 3-4x longer cooldowns. Can this champion get SOMETHING?

Wut.

While Yi obviously does do damage, he does in fact do less damage as an on-hit attack speed champion than he did, while also being squishier.

He's bad, lol.

And for some reason, I'm comfortable with that fact.

It probably has to do with you being both bad at the game and a bit of a whiner, if I were to guess.

Bad at the game? Yes. A whiner? Not so much.

and then there is master tier yi cowsep. 6 item yi is scarey as fuck esp if he builds tanky. he can melt tanks and squishys like they are nothing also split push an take towers like no1 else. i think yi is fine and im glad he is not in any of my games cause i hate his guts.

When you become on with the champ, you can do anything. Not to mention even Cowsep has said that team comp and team play is important with yi now.

He isn't just the come out of the jungle after 15 minutes and nuke the opposing team guy anymore.

Doesn't make him useless though.

oooohh nooo not poor yi! Galio, aatrox, zilean, nunu and karthus might as well not even be champions anymore due to their playrates but riot has to drop everything and buff yi because a random guy on the forums thinks that yi isn't doing damage because he isn't 1-shotting everyone like ap yi used to.

Another silver got bias against Yi. Yi doesent oneshot yes, but there are other champions that DO it, making Yi worthless.

He isn't meant to one shot. He is meant to find a target, chase and stick to them and shred their hp using multiple auto's and then either continue his killing spree or disengage to reset.

That would be like me trying to go as burst mage using swain. Can it work? Sure, but there are better options for it.

If you want a playstyle that is similar to yi but has burst potential you could try someone like rengar. Hes quick, can one-shot and is melee based. Not exactly the same but its close to what it sounds like you're interested in.

Yi is all steroids. You can literally hit all your buttons, attack + move into a fight, and penta. I mean, he's not the only champ like that, but he's likely the greatest offender, regardless of nerfs. I just can't feel sorry for him.

That doesn't mean there isn't necessarily nuance to the champ, but no, I do not feel sorry for the average player being denied the opportunity to right click their way to a free win.

All you can find in this board is people picking a team comp with no CC, and then complain if a Yi,Trynda or Yasuo smash them all.

no damage, nos survivability?!?!? he has a heal and damage reduction a high damage q that can crit and hit multiple enemies, and then 2 stat boosts. one that prevents him from being slowed.
