I'm tired of every bronze and silver player thinkink he's broken and needs to be deleted/reworked. If I ranked up for Everytime I've seen these threds about you being op then I'd be high elo. If you cc him when he uses his ult, then congrats. You stopped him. The you'd bring up the agrument about his q. You can bait it out. If he used his one gapcloser to get closer to you an you're an assasin or burst mage just kill him. He's not tanky at all.Also targeted cc like Annie passive, Ryze ew, tf gold card, also if you na Have an escape, use it. Still saying he's broken. There's one more thing. Anyone with a wall. Azir, can knock him back and the wall will keep him from getting to you unless he has flash. The others can just stop him from getting to your team. Also randuins omen exists if he builds crit.

Tl;Dr he's squishy, prone to hard cc and his q can be baited, he isn't Kayne or talon, and radduins omen for crit.

You can't really CC with a spammable Q. item 3508

You also get basically 100-0'd as a full armored tank. item 1419 item 3124 item 3153 item 3006 item 3508

If he goes that build, he will get oneshotted by burst mages and assasins.

Yi is one of those champions where the only real counterplay is user error/poor decision making.

You know Riot stated themselves that cc being the only counter to a champion is a toxic design ? Not even armor is efficient to him.

Squishy ? Most Yi I've met go for item 3124 item 1419 item 3153 item 3742 item 3053 and another according to the situation

Why should my team waste 7 seconds of hard CC on one champion while the rest of his team does whatever they want?

That Q cooldown late game plus with CDR and Essence Reaver is basically every 3 or 4 seconds.

You don't even need 7 second day to kill him and 3-4 seconds is enough to cc him.

oh yeah? I just played a game where half hp yi flashed on me, instantly q'ed me and killed me from full hp, though heal and the resistances from ga. 2000 damage in 0.98 seconds. So you tell me what the counter play is? stand in fountain? "he is squichy" hah

Edit: might add that I was same level and half an item behind him. I'm sorry there is no world in which this is either balanced or "interactive gameplay". I had full hp, both summoners, was using ulti on him before he decided that I had enough fun for one day, and I had nothing I could do against him, no options what so ever(aside from not being in or near the fight at all). Zoe was deleted for having this kind of damage on a skillshot, remember that?
