Master Yi + Sated Devourer + BotRK + Wit's End + Last Whisper

Shroom Junkie··22 votes·14,578 views

This is just OP.

I don't care what anyone says, this is insane attack speed, every attack does 16% of target's current health + 125 to 179 physical damage + 214 magic damage(Devourer now only goes to 65 magic damage right?), and every 3rd attack does 32% of the target's current health + 85 to 139 physical damage + 428 magic damage.

I don't even need to write specifics and I'm not going to, because anyone who says this isn't OP is crazy.

"Oh but you have to get 30 stacks first" Oh but its also a get-out-of-jail-free-card Even if you're down 0-100 and have no towers, once a Master Yi gets this he can fucking solo carry by 2-3 shotting everyone who comes in his way, tanks included, within seconds due to his crazy-ass attack speed and passive.

Have a jungle Master Yi on the enemy team? Is he building like this? Well say goodbye to your tushies unless you can end before he gets this build because then he's fucking unstoppable. Oh, not to mention any defense he might have, which he still has room for two more items. So, say, against an MR team, Spirit Visage, against an AD team, Randuin's Omen, and no matter what just grab a Guardian Angel and you'll be unbeatable. They got a lot of CC? Replace Spirit Visage or Randuin's with a Mercurial Scimitar, its just that much more damage and you can remove all CC affects currently on you. Heck, if they aren't building armor you can just build it in place of Last Whisper.

I really can't imagine anyone defending this. I mean really, 16% of the target's current health plus all that extra several hundred damage in both forms of physical and a bit of magic so armor doesn't affect it, every some 0.5 seconds at only 1 attack speed, and with all this AS it'll probably be about 2 so one of these about every 0.25 seconds, and every 3rd hit deals 32% and all that extra magic damage x2, plus the extra physical damage x2, and whammo.

"Oh but you can build Thornmail" Oh but you can do that for almost any AD champ. And I don't think Thornmail actually affects the BotRK passive since it isn't actual AD and is just an on-hit effect, so its basically returning some 37 to 53 damage back to him every hit and giving them 100 armor, only 65 with the Last Whisper, even less with other armor pens such as runes and masteries, plus there's the magic damage from Wit's End and Devourer that isn't affected by it.

If I recall, Sated only doubles the on-hits on every other attack, not every attack.

And I don't think Thornmail actually affects the BotRK passive since it isn't actual AD and is just an on-hit effect

All armor reduces BotRK's health shred, because it is dealt as additional physical damage. Therefore, Thornmail alone means you only take 4% current health instead of 8%. And that's not considering any other base or bonus stats.

Ah, apparently it is. I never read that. Was it recently added to nerf it before official release? Either way though, this is insane attack speed, dealing about 8% on the first hit, 16% on the second(Sated), 16%(Double Strike), 16%(Sated), and then just repeating itself for 16% every hit with insane attack speed without even the ult being on, and probably max(2.5) attack speed with it, plus his Q waveclear and juking, plus his W for healing and damage reduction.

And Last Whisper reduces it to 65 armor. Armor pen. reduces it even further and you'll probably come out with about 50-ish armor from Thornmail, then your base armors. So yes, it will be reduced to maybe 12-14% current health damage, but it'll still be a fuck load.

you do realise that MasterYi is a champion that will die in approximately 0.5 seconds if focused by just the autoattacks of all your team. and his w will be interrupted by anything. the moment you see the enemy pick yi, pick some strong cc and boom.

the moment you pick yi, just focus him and don't be behind and boom

also, while yi is farming just pick Rengar gank everywhere, and oneshot yi later if he does this build

You do realize that there are these things called "defensive items", right? Plus, defensive playstyle. Let your tanks engage, then at the right time, go in and when something bad is about to happen, press Q if you can juke it, or press W if you can't and need to heal and reduce the damage. If needed just get the fuck out of there but you'll probably get at the very least two kills/assists in that fight.

a melee squishy without an escape move should never survive a teamfight. stun him for 2 seconds and hes dead.

Assuming he doesn't juke the stun. Any slows don't matter, he can juke most types of things with his Q(though he has to use it right or else waste it), and he can W to heal up and ignore some damage. Plus, you're acting like its going to be Yi vs Enemy team, its gonna be Ally team vs Enemy team, and Yi will be included, so they'll have just as much CC. Probably. Unless its a shitty team comp.

he can't juke auto attack, he can't juke Rengar burst, he can't juke Rammus taunt+all his reflecting damage

Gati3 votes

but he's still just MasterYi (and this version can't do 1k crits)

if cc'd.. he's ded even if just caught out he can be burst down right after he gets out of his Q and late game, phew, that guy can be one shot RengarRengarRengar

tl;dr- still squishy af

Can't wait to see all the retards like you completely ignoring the whole purpose of sated devourer and build a full squishy crit build, get one-shot as always and not benefit of the item at all. PS : crit builds synergize better with item 3072 than item 3153 . Sated devourer is all about the on-hit. And since on-hit work well with 2-3 items and it's even enhanced with sated devourer, you can melt anyone, build 2 tanky items and be very hard to burst while having around 60-70% of the damage of a crit Yi (more like 50% against carries but 80-90% against tanks)

Holy shit you and the people who upvoted you are fucking retards. Where in the OP's original build did he buy a single tank item? You think wit's end makes him not squishy? The whole point was that he put down a glass cannon item build but a shitty one at that just because he (and apparently you too) thinks that sated devourer means stack on hit items you normally wouldn't buy.

Newsflash, there was nothing stopping a Yi from building tanky before Sated devourer already. You could easily have gone Jungle Item, Boots, IE, PD, and 2 tank items. Just like you can now. And just like you can with sated devourer. If you're still buying 2 tanky items, I can guarantee you that loading up on idiotic stuff like wit's end will severely gimp your damage, especially considering Yi would already either hit the attack speed cap or come very close to it with devourer and one attack speed item already while in ult.

Also you just randomly vomit percentages out of your asshole like it's fact.

Well I'm not a fan of item 3091 myself, but the fact it's doubled makes it relatively decent. Anyway, a build like item 3931 item 3153 item 3035 + 2 defensive items or situationally item 3072 just does the job. (PS : OP just said he could have 2 tanky items (well he somehow forgot boots). And stacked wit's end gives quite an amount of mr.)

IE + PD just has 0 synergy with sated devourer whatsoever. You lose on the powerspike of item 3153 so you're kinda weak midgame. You have 0 lifesteal and base your damage on crit autoattacks and not on-hits so thornmail kinda fucks you up.

Yesterday I had a game as Nasus against Yi, he built item 3031 item 3046 item 3035 item 3933 item 3153 . In death recap I received more true damage than physical. Around 950 true ; 900 physical. Like, 3 items for a crit build < Yi's E boosted by sated devourer. Pretty damn crazy. Ofc I was a tank so it's normal that it's reduced but still (and he had lw).

.... IT's weaker than the Crit build... Also late game people can blow Yi as fast as he can blow them, only offtank Yi - BORK+Ghostblade + 3 tank items can survive any farmed champions.

Yea the new jungle item is going to need some tuning. I'm still really excited to play Aatrox with it tho, so I'll just perma-ban Master Yi.

Also, does anyone know why the new patch hasn't been released yet? Usually it's the day after they post the notes, but I still haven't had to update anything. Maybe they're tuning the Devourer 1 more time?

Its not the item that needs tuning, it's Yi.

Nerf Yi and he is more balanced with Sated and on par with everyone else.

Nerf Sated and Yi is still better with it than literally everyone else.

I Miss Cannon2 votes

Yeah, nerf Yi and he is forced into building sated devourer. Then remove sated devourer and Yi is weak as hell for the Rest of the time this game exists because nobody likes him so nobody will ask for buffing him like they do with Elise, Zyra, etc.

Forget Last Whisper, just get Zephyr. With his true damage, he can indiscriminately kill everything, all he needs is to get in range.

With his [W] attack reset, he can skip straight to the second attack and deal double procs with almost every hit.

Hawkefire1 votes

No need, his attacks speed should be just about capped with his ult + bortk + wits + devourer.

Only good stat Zephyr gives is attack speed and you are already nearly capped with botrk+sated+ult Last whisper is millions times better than Zephyr damage-wise, because it tremendously increases the damage on-hit from botrk and allows you to destroy tanks that much easier.

Also, you talk about W auto-attack reset, but you know that it is less effective the most attack speed you have? Doing an auto-attack reset when you have 2.5 attack speed is quite useless.

FantasySniper1 votes

If you have 2.5 AS, you're only attacking once every 0.4 seconds, so the tiny animation cancel time is still faster. Not that he reaches that cap anyways, since at most it's little above 2.0 AS full build.

Zephyr also gives MS, CDR, and Tenacity, all things that make Yi much more of a threat. Although armor is still a big deal, you're already immune to the AS slows, so why bother trying to counter the stat when you can just increase your hybrid damage and true damage procs?

But you're basically buying Merc Treads value for 2850g. This is very expensive, I'd rather buy more sustain, more damage or more tankiness. Well idk if you build item 3006 , I personnally build item 3111 cause I already got so much attack speed (AS reds+quints + devourer + botrk) so I already have the tenacity.

FantasySniper1 votes

Normally I build Greaves or Ninja Tabi. Although it normally depends on whether or not I'm going for a whole damage build with Skirmisher's or need the tank since I have to get Stalker's.

where are you getting 16%?

HighKingOfSkyrim1 votes

botrk + sated D + statics + IE + last whisper + ??? + boots

not counting: armor or armorpen, 5th item, masteries or runes...

Damage:

[(8% current hp + 60 Magic dmg + 81 true dmg) first hit and every thrid hit after the first: x 3 OR 4 (depends if sated doubles the doublestrike too)] all other hits: x 2

[100magic damage (with 40% to 250% crit)] first hit with a bit of moving probably also every fouth hit

256 (40 to 250 crit again)] + every hit

256 (40 to 250 crit again)] x 0.5 first hit every 3 third hit after frist hit

Attacks per sec: something like 2,05 so if you manage to attack for the 5 secs of E you get 10 AAs working like this!

for the double up on true dmg from E and for the double up on botrk passiv

the whole Point of getting sated D anyway

HighKingOfSkyrim1 votes

it probably Comes down to trading an extra 2,5k normal damage for more then 1k++ true damage and 10++ times 8% current hp i think this is 100% worth it

HighKingOfSkyrim1 votes

with the true damage and the % damage you are a real tank killer i think... also you deal mixed damage if someone builds like tons of armor vs you... you have some lifesteal to maybe Counter a thornmail...

you get 81 * 24/28 true damage (so around 1,9k) and 24/28 times 8% of enemys current hp... this alone should kill like EVERYONE

vs yi you NEED stuns now or you can ff20

Even if you're down 0-100 and have no towers, once a Master Yi gets this he can fucking solo carry by 2-3 shotting everyone who comes in his way, tanks included, within seconds due to his crazy-ass attack speed and passive.

I'm sorry dude, but this is pretty much what MasterYi has always done.

damage in both forms of physical and a bit of magic so armor doesn't affect it

So armor no longer affects physical damage? Call the presses people! Sarcasm aside, just make item 3075. It prevents him from going full glass cannon and makes him have to build something like either a item 3139, item 3072, or item 3065 which really isn't optimal for him.

And sated still isn't going to improve his squishiness

I played as Cassiopeia, there was an enemy yi jungler, I was not extremely fed but I was actually ahead in lane with pretty good farm. Yi would just run to me with his ult and save his Q for when I casted my ult to avoid it, there was absolutely NO WAY that I could 1v1 him even when I hit him with the ult, he had this build and a banshee's veil, so he would resist my damage and of course blow me away in 2 fucking seconds. I thought Cassiopeia was a very very good duelist, but yi just f*cked me over very easily, just Q and AA, that's it. What kind of counterplay does he have besides some specific itemization like Thornmail? No carry will ever build a freaking thornmail.
