Master Yi is considered Troll Pick across all elos

Can you finally give this champion SOMETHING so hes viable somewhere else than games vs bots? Im tierd of hearing how useless and bad Master Yi is each time i pick him in Diamond.

This champion has nothing: no cc, no survivability, no damage (without at least 4 items), nothing that team would benefit from, hes only burden.

You buff Lee Sin cause "he become rare sight in competitive" meanwhile Master Yi along with other farm junglers cant even find a place where they belong (outside of their dumpster).

Devourer removal along with ridiculous Highlander nerfs put Maste Yi in trash tier where he sits more than a half of a year now. Can we at least revert ult and E nerfs? For fuck sake.

uhm yi is actually a great top laner, a niche pick for sure but still great.

What IS considered a troll pick in high ELO is attack speed yi.

You serious man? Top yi? Every champion in this game shits on Yi in lane beside Soraka (maybe), and attack speed is his core stat, the problem is not Yi with attack speed, the problem is that attack speed is shitty for everyone but adcs.

You know what this build is? this is crit yi, his core is PD, IE, and SS.
Crit yi is an assassin, alpha striking a squishy and bursting them down with a highlander wuju style. you can replace the BT with litterally any item, i personally go with any of these; item 3512 item 3812 item 3065 depending on how the game is going.

Hell yeah, I get to jump in, maybe kill one guy, then be exploded if the enemy so much as looks at me. Fun!

Also, Yi's a horrible shitty fucking assassin. Why play him when you could play an actual assassin?

Yi is meant to be a DPS melee carry. Only he currently isn't functional in that role. He's bad.

Top Yi is very strong, should try it to get some nice Freelo.

Said no one ever.

Top Yi is completly trash and get's shit on basicly every Pick. This guy has obviously no Idea what he is talking about.

Not attack speed being shitty just the items that have them being shitty for people who aren't adcs and riot doesnt want to acknoledge that range itself is the reward ranged characters are supposed to get for being range. some how they arent simple to play because they are ranged but compared to melee characters they are safer and can get out higher damage from earlier. but riot uses range as an excuse to give give ranged characters more damage while giving them cc and excapes at the same time

He's not considered a troll pick. Yi is a decent pick atm. Not amazing, not terrible. Good Yi can drop execute dmg with W, Q abilities, Highlander through fights, etc. You're also able to counter jungle efficiently, dueling a jungler who's early game isn't amazing. Yi's the niche pick for causing trouble against junglers who can't fight early on; for pressuring during early lane phase for passive laners with guaranteed cc.

Early game junglers like Kha'Zix or Shaco are better at that though.

I agree. They gutted him for no Reason. The Problem was Rageblade so they nerfed Xin, Yi etc ...

Then they still didn't want to nerf Rageblade and for whatever Reason they nerfed Yi again. Then they reworked Rageblade without giving him back some Strenght he lost.

He got Sejuani'd. But on this Board you will probably get shittalked by some " low " Elo Guys, who are allergic against Yi, Katarina, Akali, Rengar etc Buffs only cause they cant handle him.

Yi is weak right now, way to weak.
