to start off if i had to rework yi, i would just straight up make him chinese. no need for his asian ambuigity. also id probably change his name to yi sifu.

with that being said, hed have to be wielding green destiny. and give some major li mu bai vibes. for example his stance would have to be similar to fiora's except hed have his sword behind his back

and to add to his kung fu swordsmaster aura, id add like water skipping into his passive, and let it bleed over to wall skipping and brush skipping

alpha strike also HAS to stay for sure. that one move is so core to league of legends. but i would make it his ultimate, and let him start the game with it. and make it so that it starts at 25 secs cd and then scales down to 18. and also make it only hit 2 targets at level 1 scaling up to 5 targets at level 16, prioritizing champions, and applying on hit effects. (gimme back ma blade waltz dangit)

i think its important that yi keeps his auto attack identity but should have avenues for outplay and escape other than being in alpha

meditate is also core to yi but, i dont think it should be a pseudo shield. meditate as a move should be done in safety and should stop if yi takes damage or cc. but on the flip side of it, meditate should also lower the cooldowns of his other moves, if not just alpha strike.

and thats all folks.

sidenote wuju style sucks

i have 3 problems, but they're mostly my opinion anyways so please dont take it too serious.

1: if yi moved his alpha into his ult, it'd have to do some SERIOUS damage that would 1 shot most squishies, especially when the cd is 25 seconds, which again will offset the balance. 2: yi cant be an auto attack champ if he doesnt have built in attack speed and something that applies to his atk spd like wuju style. 3: yi has no natural tank, how is he going to dive in and out without meditate's Dmg Reduction. he has no disengage if his alpha is in a long cooldown, and meditate can get interrupted by any damage.

P.S: you're trying to make him assassin. if he Ults, then backs off, meditate, and ults again, he can easily invade bot since it prioritized champs.
