Moments you know you are f*ed in this game?

Are in-comparable to that moment when your whole team is at mid dancing with 4 enemies while that enemy jungler MasterYi is not there, the menace and fear and panic, spamming the "fall back" ping to your team while they idiotically stand next to two brushes.

And than, that moment, when you hear a muttered voice, recognisable as Yi, uttering those few words, and that windy sound following, that my friends, is the moment you prepare your flash and escapes, and realize you will either get away with a quarter of your HP or die.

As he charges past all what your team has to offer from skillshots flying around him and missing him, and than the "can't be slowed" sentence hovers over him as your team desperately throws every single CC they have on him, it happens so quick, but there's still those split seconds of clarity where you can see those ignites and exhausts covering him while he swings that sword without giving a shit, running over slain allies.

It's that moment when that pathetic air of coordination around your team disappears and it turns from dancing with the enemy team trying to open an engagement turns into a complete rout & massacre as you and every other allied champion run in every single direction, some to the jungle, some to the turrets, and those poor bastards who don't make it, you look back and view them flashing away and Yi is still on their backs, melting them in a few seconds. The "surrender vote" following subsequently.

Is it skill? did I jump into the enemy team as alistar, and headbutt an enemy to my team, they finish him off and we engage? did Azir use a very well executed emperor's divide to bring 2 enemies to the team while the rest of the enemy team can't support? did Kindred throw the teamfight with a well planned ult? did the tanks lead the way and the carries follow? nah mate, it's just that you have to press that "R" button, run to them, press Q and make love to your mouse's right-click while constantly pressing the Q button.

When will they nerf this guy??

here's how you beat out yi's highlander

use. a. stun.

it ain't that hard, just play taric and demolish the guy if you have to :/

plus, yi is primarily single target-damage, meaning he can't deal equal damage to all opponents like some other champions like karthus can. He must attack ONE target until it dies and then move on to the next.

FORCE him to fight your tanks first, and kill him in the time it takes for them to die.

I love how you described it. I often play MasterYi and this is pretty accurate. I'm either split pushing or waiting to catch someone alone.

Often times, they give up after few kills instead of organizing/grouping. That's the beauty of bad communication. ( And often times, it's Yi who gets slaughtered becuz of miscommunication).

And Yi is about positioning and timing, it is gameplay skill. Try executing Alpha strike to dodge Azirs Emperor's Divide, or Fizz's Ult to name a few. ooh.. I played bait too, while I get CC'ed my team will go for the kill. It's called GAMEPLAY not I got most kills and yet lost.
