Master Yi Nerf 2/1/2015 In dept

During a ranked game today while playing Darius the YI (PoorGuts check his match history for proof) went 30/12/10. I found it interesting that Yi could burst me down late game when I have 3.7k health. All Yi had to do was ult and then use Wuju Style. In a matter of 3 seconds I was dead before I could manage to get his health down to half. To get to my point Master Yi should be nerfed to an extent. To balance out Master Yi one of the three things should take place. Either his passive is changed, Wuju stlye's true damage is reduced/time active reduced, or Master Yi's e is changed completely. I suggest that for option one Yi's passive can be changed to every four instead of three hits that Master Yi gets a double attack. Just like Tristania's Q Master Yi's Wuju Style should be on a high cd with low active time. This can help balance Yi as he will have a limited time of killing people instead of wiping out the whole enemy team before they can kill him. I hope that you take some of these ideas in consideration in order to increase the balance of Yi and to increase the future gameplay for future League players.

Clearly you don't know how yi works. First off, it IS every 4 hits.

Every 4th consecutive autoattack, Master Yi strikes twice.

Straight from the wiki.

And 18 second at level 1 to 14 sec at max is kinda high cd for only 5 sec.

Then it needs to be changed to a higher number of hits as four hits is really fast with a full build yi when he ults. Maybe it can increase depending on his level. For example, increase to 5 hits at lvl 10 and increase to 6 at lvl 18. I also meant to lower the time that Wuju style is active not just the cd. 5 seconds is plenty of time for a yi to burst at least 2-3 people when he ults with full build.

No offense, but do you understand how retarded you sound by saying that? Passives that scale are supposed to get BETTER with levels. Not worse. And no. The reason he's built full attack speed it to take advantage of that passive. People in general build 1 of 2 ways, cover weaknesses, enhance strengths. Full IAS builds on yi are doing the latter.

EDIT: I actually think you lost credibility the moment you didn't understand how his passive worked. It would have taken 2 seconds out of your day to actually make an informed thread instead of just yet another yi bashing thread
