Can Master Yi get cooldowns from 2016?

Q 18 sec W 35 sec E 18 sec R 85 sec Seriously? Longest overall cooldowns in the game, considering he can only do something during his ult that lasts 7 seconds. Can this champion get SOMETHING, like ANYTHING so he can emerge from dumpster hes diving deep in?

The cooldown on Alpha Strike is significantly lower in-practice since it is reduced every time you attack the target. Considering how useful untargetability is, I'm fine with the current cooldown.

The cooldown on Meditate is perfectly fine for sustaining in the jungle and offers massive survivability when used correctly.

Considering just how versatile and powerful these two abilities are, they should be restricted by their cooldowns.

Eh, his Q goes down by 1 second for every auto. And he builds almost entirely pure attack speed, other effects/stats just coming with said items he gets. W goes down with CDR/levels and it's a heal/incoming damage reduction ability that shouldn't be spammable anyways. His E passively grants more AD and active grants true damage on autos. He shouldn't be able to spam that considering he can already spam autos with his insane attack speed for massive damage if not stopped. His ultimate is one of the shortest cooldown ultimates in the game, what are you smoking?

I'm not saying he's OP. But his cooldowns aren't an issue.

He's still performing okay.

His abilities are on high cooldown because he's an auto attacker, meaning he doesn't need to rely that much of his power budget onto them.

His Q gets reduced by auto attacks, and also temporarily makes him untargetable. Fizz is super hated by the community for his low cooldown E, so while Alpha Strike is easily more balance able and is less extreme than Playful/Trickster, too much of a CD buff can easily turn obnoxious.

His Meditate should not be used as a spam skill. It's good that its so high so that it avoids making his sustain obnoxious or makes him more capable of tanking through fights, both things Master Yi should not be known for.

His Wuju Style and Highlander are literally titanic stat check abilities. It's faaaaaar more balanced that he has windows of power and weakness due to the high cooldown of these abilities for its very simplistic raw power.
