Just found this gem with Fiddlesticks and Yi.

I decided to randomly cast my q on a yi, thinking that it wouldn't do anything (because he's immune to slows), but it actually makes him run really fast the other way. This actually saved my team on multiple occasions, because this Yi was doing extremely well vs us, and I was the only one that could actually stop his reign of terror.

Sorry about the laggy gif, slow motion + spectator lag is not a fun thing.

i have been telling people for almost a year now fears are the funniest counters to yi cause u can send him to another lane in team fights and laugh

Yeah, they're amazing for yi. I figured that they just counted as a modified slow, but apparently they don't.

Yes and no. It's a different cc altogether, that should be obvious. You can't cast, you can't basic attack, it's basically a stun. But added to that, Riot included some pathing they coded as a misdirect, but also debuffed people's move speed for the duration of that to give it the fear effect they wanted.

So, not surprisingly, with that coding, a dude immune to slows just flies off into the wild blue.

The thing is that all fears come with a built in slow to prevent their target from doing exactly that... the problem is that yi is immune to slows, and thus just sprints the hell away.

Which makes it even better, because fearing him for 2.25 seconds at the right time (unlike my gif, but I couldn't be bothered to search the whole replay for a time I used it better) will effectively remove him from a teamfight, and it will also basically cancel his ultimate. I don't think it's a problem at all.

Problem wasn't really the right word. Like most people, I think yi can be annoying (not strong, just a bit of a pain, like teemo), so the ability to remove 4.5 seconds from his ult is AMAZING.

Well in real life, we all sprint away from what scares us

actually the lag makes it easier to understand.

SkyBlade791 votes

Well, it's actually not lagging now. It was lagging like crazy in the preview, but once I actually uploaded it, you just see the slow motion effect.

Did you know: If a master yi was running out of base with a movement speed comp when he ults and gets 2000+ movespeed then gets fiddle feared he will legit run all the way back xD

Fiddlesticks is Yi's natural counter, but surprised that YI jumped in first knowing Yasuo, Diana and FS is around. I hope your team won it.

We did win :)
