Why Master Yi is so weak right now ?

Master Yi has been pretty weak since many patchs now, and nothing else has been done except bug fix.

He's really weak now, at least way worst than the majority of Junglers. He has no early presence, his gank are "meh" pre 6 or without CC, and most of the jungler outclass him just because they have damage while having CC or utility in their kit or way better presence and gank than Master Yi. For that reason he's pretty much never played at high elo/competition, because good team play fuck him hard.

When he got nerf, there was no reason at all to nerf his Highlander at all since the items were the problem at that time, not the character. And he is VERY feast or famine, so if you fall behind you offer nothing to your team since all you have is damage.

He can't even be played in lane as before, witch was really cool.

He got one of the lowest win rate in jungle on that patch. So i really hope he will got something this season cause he's really behind and has many issues since many times.

Thank you for reading MasterYi

This is a build I wanted to try for Yi and I think it might have ended up pretty good (since he gets 2.5 attack speed with just the first two items), but unfortunately guinsoo's is bugged on him right now. His own on-hit effects hit him when his guinsoo's is stacked.

When this bug is fixed we'll see how he is doing.

It could be the fervor nerfs.

Guinsoo's and BotRK have been buffed to compensate, but there's a bug where Yi's own on-hit effects affect himself when rageblade is stacked. So you could say those buffs backfired and do more harm because of that bug.

I like built Frozen Mallet, Rageblade, Bloodrazor, and BotRK, and wound up killing myself with autos.
