Was Master Yi made originally for top or for jungle?
I'm arguing with my friends over this.

Master Yi was one of the original 40 champions, so back then there wasn't really a meta for Riot to design champions around. His kit was also drastically different from what it is today

i'm not sure that the original champions were really designed for a specific role, i think they were just kinda made.
He was designed as a melee and agile hypercarry who's rather squishy innately but could have monster damage when fed, he wasn't designed with a particular "lane" in mind because it was when Riot wasn't actively designing champs to fit a certain role in the current meta.
He's being tuned to fit better in jg these days through balancing, though.
