Really tired of seeing Yi in a majority of lower level games.

My team has alot of trouble against him. I try to help them with suggesting deep wards and telling them to fall back if I suspect a gank from him. Its not enough. Yes heavy cc works against him, but only if your team will go in WITH the heavy cc on him. My teams just run as soon as they see him use his ult. I suggest making Yi cost more IP. Or if you have a proposed change that does not heavily modify his kit i would love to hear them.

Yi will not cost more IP, because he was one of the original 40 champions, and even then he cost 450 IP. He's a recommended tier champion because he's easy.

And, as long as a recommended tier champion is viable in ranked play--which is a good thing--they will be difficult for lower-level players because of their easy-to-learn skill floor.

Long story short, he exists to force players to learn to play

I knew that was going to be an issue. What about a base movement speed nerf? He builds so much from items and his ultimate. Is that at least somewhat warranted?

Tell your support to drop an Exhaust on him before he Alpha Strikes. He'll hit like a wet noodle, get killed, and fall behind to the point that he doesn't matter. Even a fed Master Yi is no match for a Support that properly uses Exhaust...just don't forget that the slow won't do much.
