We never hear anything about him on the rework/balance/gameplay announcments or anything.

I think he's fine, I've heard him called the new player destroyer, and that seems good to me. He's an early problem new players have to figure out how to fix. In other words, he's the gate keeper.

It doesn't matter how good you are at the game, a late game master yi is fking toxic. His only saving grace is that he's absolutely useless early on, kind of like Poppy.

I suppose you weren't around before yi's rework that occurred in S3.

No boots, all items deathcaps. Ap scaling Q and W.

He's still a pain to play against this very moment.

He's still the same champ, but now you must build him AD.

He's not just a noobslayer either. His cleanup is easy to execute and his splitpush is up there with udyr and trynd. I don't play yi, because the mindset I need to have is garbage. It's nice to see him function well with his team and coordinate with them..... but the most rewarding playstyle seems to be thinking of yourself, cs and towers.

hue, you kiddies think this yi is toxic. Should have seen AP yi.

Ah, good terrible times.

Yi is at a fine spot, hes not even played high elo because hes so easily countered. All you have to do is stop wasting Hard CC until the yi shows up.

No he's not in a fine spot, his Q is extremely toxic. He can hit multiple targets with it and gapclose with it, so he can pretty much 1v3 all the time. and it makes him untargetable? Plus his W is a random attack damage steroid, which is just icing on top of the toxic cake. And THEN his passive lets him strike twice in one hit? How are you supposed to duel him?

Master Yi, Fizz, and Darius are all champions who are currently broken imo. The only thing seriously wrong with Yi is his Alpha Strike, Q. A 600 range +100% AD 4 target ability that removes you from combat (invincibility) and reduces CD with AA and outranges everyone's AA aside from Cait and Annie all on a melee swordsman is broken beyond all Hell.

don't complain, they got rid of the randomness on q, got rid of ap yi (RIP AP YI), got rid of ful refresh on r and, nerfed the passive too, AP yi used to be the most broken shit besides when ad morde used to exist

Even if you try to cc him, he has an ability to dodge it and easily can 5 v 1 any team. If you don't get at least 10 kills as yi you need help. I stopped playing him early on because it's incredibly unfair and even if i got 30 kills it would be no accomplishment. he's also immune to turret aggro with Q and w.

I'm often hesitant to join in these type of discussions, however I am going to have to agree here. Not long ago I played a game where my whole team was doing quite well (every lane was winning), and the other team had a Jungle Yi that just wrecked us quite literally by himself. We won some fights against him if we could land our CC but others it was next to impossible when our CC abilities were on cooldown or missed while he was untargetable. Exhaust was next to useless and if he even got close enough for a Q our squishes health was pretty much gone even if they managed to live from the skirmish.

On another note I think abilities that make you "untargetable" have to really be looked at as a whole as it makes counterplay very hard.

There's a reason why he isn't played in high elo, I'll let you guys figure out why.

He's a less skilled higher reward version of katarina. More AoE burst that actually occurs faster, that can sustain himself, every 2 seconds you've taken 5 on hits effects and probably 300 true damage :D equally fed irelia can probably take him right? lawl

MasterYi : Ah, Irelia. My old nemesis. Irelia : Hello, Yi. Time to die.

MasterYi item 3031 item 3072 item 3087 item 3726 (current gold= 38+38+24+18= 11800) Irelia item 3078 item 3087 item 3075 item 3284 (current gold= 34+24+22+15= 10500)

MasterYi : Ow Irelia! That really hurts! Irelia : Well then, stop hitting yourself. MasterYi : Fine, I'ma just walk away. Irelia : Nah ah. Parties not done yet. ANNOUNCER: Red team has scored a kill. Irelia : Thanks jungler. JarvanIV : Of course, top laner.

As I've posted before there is only ONE NA challenger who uses Yi, and for good reason. He sucks at high ELO.
