Master Yi Rework Petition
While we all know Riot does their best to keep champions balanced, sometimes the changes made to them just aren't enough. Changes performed with the best of intentions leave a champion in an unbalanced state, which is where Master Yi is now. He has no real counterplay, with only one skill even targeted, not even a skillshot. He can go invulnerable/untargetable while dealing moderate to extremely high damage with a single skill. He can self-heal while gaining a large damage reduction. He has scaling true damage and passively increased AD. He has skill resets, an ult that leaves him immune to slows while making it difficult for anything but point-and-click stuns/roots to stop him (while giving him a massive attack speed and movement buff)... his kit seems rather overloaded.
Some claim that at higher levels of skills this is less of a problem, but with studies showing that over 50% of League players playing at Bronze, Silver or low-end Gold, that means that for the majority of League gamers, that argument is invalid. Furthermore, Yi's one big weakness, roots/stuns, is the same weakness any champion faces. Even silences aren't very effective as half his skills or more are popped before he gets within range of a silence, and at that point it's too late. Even other assassins have more counterplay than he does. Katarina can be silenced mid-Ult, Akali/Rengar/Kha'zix/Shaco/Talon can be pink warded to reveal them and render them able to be attacked, LeBlank's teleports can be semi predicted if you've got fast reactions, etc. And with nearly all the other assassins, skillshots can be dodged to drastically reduce their damage.
TLDR; Yi's unbalanced with an overloaded kit. He needs some real tweaking to give counterplay. Sign the petition if you agree, and maybe Riot will hear our voices.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. :)
