People say that X champion mains are toxic, tryhards, etc. But here's the worst.

Master Yi mains. It never fails when you have one on the team who gets fed early, then insists on 5v1'ing until you lose. Ending the game with a high kill count, and a substantial amount of deaths to go with that. Only to flame everybody else for not getting kills. Master Yi - The Wejustlost Blademaster.

I play Yi all the time and i'm not toxic and I don't flame. I may not gank early because frankly nothing good comes from that but I do my best to carry and I know that a low death count is more important than a high kill count.

That being said I can't help but notice that Yi players are a disgrace more often than not. Also he's one of those champions who's useless on your team and a hypercarry god on the other team

The problem isn't everyone, its those, and god damn if OP didn't hit the nail on the head, that think they are hot shit, get some kills, become an egotistical jackass, start feeding when the enemy catches up, refuse to group, and flame the team.

I dont care if you have 25 kills and 15 deaths, boast about the kills all you like, we were fighting 4v5 most of the game you little bastard while you hopped you skippy ass into 4 people and a warwick.

Funny... I had a game with my brother (a Warwick, I was new poppy) and the mid Yi got fed, and we just focused him down in every fight with the warwick ult. We won that game too.

Master Yi is a feast or famine champion. This is why master yi players flame if they do not get a lot of kills to carry. They will tend to rage at their own team, fueled by their own unsupportable excuses.

Completely absurd. This has nothing to do with the champ and everything to do with the player. One should learn to discern when to go into a fight and when not to go into a fight, regardless of what champion they are playing. I main a squishy champion, and even if I'm lucky enough to have 6 kills in the first 20 minutes of the game, I still play defensively and not over-aggressive. I've had Yi games where I've had to accept that I cannot 1v{1,2,3,4,5,6} the enemy team, lest my entire team suffer because of my actions.

The sort of people who act like this get drawn to certain champs. But that said i mostly see nuanced yi players.

Yeh, it definitely wasn't a knock on the champ itself, but the people who play him. Because they just got a triple, like 1v1 v1 v1, not 1v3 at the same time. So then he sees 4-5 people and is like, "IM FED, I JUST GOT A TRIPLE." Nope, Silver elo is pretty bad at times.

When I first started playing LoL about 3 or so years ago, I would have agreed wholeheartedly. He's a dirt-cheap champion to get ahold of (in IP, I don't know what his RP cost is), his kit is annoying, flashy, and itemizing against him is the only CONSISTENT defense (yes, so many times a team will not have displacements or stuns, not even from a "support", cough cough), and given enough time to practice dumbfounding players with his damage output, he fits the bill quite nicely.

But then you have Tristan mains. I have not ONCE personally played with a Tristana (or even against) and had them be anything but the most hate, bile-filled, angry people the game is capable of producing. Every single moment, I'm genuinely concerned that someone on either team is going to open their mouth or do something, anything, that will irk her and create a keyboard warrior, typing more than actually playing, and will make the most profoundly stupid, arrogant, risky, and "I have officially lost faith in humanity" plays one will ever come across.

Only Play Darius2 votes

Tristana used to be my favorite ADC, then she got reworked and not only do I not like her new kit that much, but I find her too noisy now and the constant trash talk really doesn't suit me.

And only then did I realize that Tristana mains are despicable. Constant trash talk in /all and acts like the world revolves around them. They are kind of like Vayne mains but while you mainly hate Vaynes who are on your team, you hate Tristana's who are on the enemy team who run their mouth like it took skill to kill you in a 4 man tower dive etc

terkmc1 votes

Because she can do a discount version of insec, and her kit encourage W'ing INTO an enemy that you will find Tristana lying in the cross section of a Venn diagram between "LSC big player" and "Team no peel WTF player"

Tristana = new Vayne confirmed

terkmc1 votes

When going into full melee mode, at least Vayne and unfuck herself by tumbling away since its low cd. On the other hand, Trist can't W away since the CD is long without reset, so she might be even worse than Vayne

Or you go red smite rageblade and force the other team to send 3 people to stop you all game.

Split pushing is annoying but it often leaves your team at a team fight disadvantage, especially if you're the most fed member of your team. If the Yi hasn't been doing particularly well, his split pushing is easily manageable by another strong duelist.

Split pushing can definitely be a strong strategy, but it isn't always in your favor, especially if the enemy team has superior rotations.

I'm not disagreeing with OP because I have seen other Yi players embarrass the champ, but there is the other side.

You get the team that flames you for not ganking pre6, that expects you to initiate fights, that expects you to carry the game single handedly.

I like to run smite/tp Yi and splitpush when my team falls behind. I remember a game where I was like 2/5/1 and had my team (also very negative in score) flaming me for never grouping while they chose to initiate 4v5 but meanwhile I took 7 towers and all inhibs single handed.

I mean, yeah, it's unfair to blame the champion, and not the summoner. The most toxic player I can remember in my two years or so of playing (not counting pre-30 days) was a Blitzcrank, so, go with that. Guy threw around so much hate speech and just everything you could even think of in one game, from champion select to post-game, even I was like, "I thought I knew toxic until now. But this takes it to a whole new level." But moving on.

I play a good amount of Master Yi (I wouldn't first-pick him, like half the roster hard-counters the guy, so he's not a safe pick by any means), the difference being that I try to do it right. As in, when he's not assassinating single targets (he's always been pretty competent at that, especially with Guinsoo's being as nutty as it is right now), Yi absolutely needs to enter a team-fight fashionably late so all the hard cc spells are already blown. That's pretty much when he becomes the penta machine his players always like him being.

Having said that, when I see other Master Yi players do the exact opposite of that and charge in first like they're playing Karthus and then scream how they're getting "no peel", it makes me want to hit them. You're ruining our image, man, stop it.

Illaoi is hard to face in top lane. Each of her abilities deals damage and has a effect with it. Little costs, and good results. Imagine how easier it would be if allies could help dispel her E.

Honestly, I'd love it if we could fix some of the large mana issues on some champions.

Sona's heal costs 80 mana at level 1, and 100 at level 5. Even if it is a heal and shield, every heal has its perks like Soraka's large heal that has a low CD, Bard's heal that can be multiplied by 3 and give speed boosts, Nami's that can deal damage while heal, and Taric's that heals himself and a ally. Her E starts at 65 mana, and has a very small speed boost. If it takes 3 spells to get her passive, then please understand that a 70/75/80/85/90 mana heal+shield is better and a 45/50/55/60/65 mana speed boost can be implemented.

Anivia's W should be 50/55/60/65/70 mana due to its small size at first.

Azir's Q should be lowered to 50 mana, unless you want to describe how getting dealt 65/85/105/125/145 (+50% AP) is a lot of damage for a mage.

Jinx's Q rockets should scale to more mana as she levels it up, 20/25/30/35/40 due to the amount of power, range, and critical she is allowed to use.

Graves's passive being moved to his E was something I liked, but the mana is a bit high considering its limitations; such as when I have two bullets and it does not give a third. Its mana should resemble Lucians and scale down, 40/35/30/25/20 mana. And his W should cost 60/65/70/75/80 mana due to the little effect it is able to give unless YOU ARE SKILLED (I am skilled and know how to use this ability but still barely use it since its never been as helpful as any of the others and has a high price).

Gragas's ultimate is a one shot use that deals 200/300/400 (+70% AP) in a area flinging enemies in certain locations, has a long CD, and is 100 mana. By standards, I really see this one as a 80 mana ability.

Khazix his ultimate causes him to stealth for a second, can be used twice (and upgraded to three times) but has a 100 mana slapped onto it. I honestly see this ability as a 70/80/90 mana ability.

Twitch has a lot of mana hogging abilities, but his W and E are the two that I ponder about all the time. his W could be 30/35/40/45/50 mana and his E could be 50/55/60/65/70 mana. His E is one of the harder to use and it doesn't even refund mana when killing a target. The most you deal is 6x the amount + a certain amount of additional damage. I'll show bellow: 110/155/200/245/290 (+120% AP) (+150% bonus AD). If I get 200 AD and 100 AP, I deal a total of 530/575/620/665/710 physical damage. This is actually typical for all champs in late game, to have this much power is what I'm implying.

Master Yi is just one of the few to not have to worry about these issues because he has no mana issues. His ultimate gives him a lot, even if it isn't damage. Imagine if the limit was reduced to 7/8/9 seconds of duration? Would it help (maybe), but it won't solve the issue that other champs have the mana restrictions that he doesn't have. This is why champs like Yasuo have the advantages, they aren't limited to nothing but CDs.

As a Yi main myself, I do this, but not every game, just like, every game I lose pretty much.
