Petition to bring back Season 3 AP Master Yi

Meliodafu·May 12, 2017·2 votes·1,136 views

Yes you heard it right, i am requesting the brutality of season 3 to return, I don't know how petitions work, how or where i go to start a petition let alone how to get Riot to see this petition. Master Yi is the equivalent of Teemo, he has to be overpowered! Master Yi and Teemo are sworn enemies, though it may not be lore, on the rift those two are competitors that can counter one another. And as much as I hate to admit it Master Yi is falling off while Teemo keeps getting buffs! Please bring back the hybrid beast that we all know from Season 3!

On a side note id also like to throw in an idea. I think it would be cool if Riot had a week where everyday they bring champions that used to be broken back to life in their op days, just for a week, I know a lot of people who play haven't played past season 3 or 4, they never got to experience the amazing days when some champions were just broken like non other.

I also thought of another cool idea where, rather than constantly reworking chamions Riot could add "classes" kinda like on shooter games where you have different weapon sets, so for instance if i wanted to go warwick i could play classic warwick instead of the new warwick, they both have awesome features i think can be useful in different games, just an idea i thought would be cool maybe not though?

BUMP THIS POST PLEASE!

I cant think of the buffs off the top of my head but they made it so his shrooms bounce on eachother, If you didnt play past season 4 i dont expect you to understand. you just had to take part in the amazing AP Yi days

Yeah I was around.

They made it possible to windwall his shrooms.

Definitely sounds like a buff.

Teemo has gotten a plethora of nerfs since release, I have absolutely no idea what you're smoking. Q ratio's been cut, ult ratio's been cut, ult duration's been cut. The only thing buffed was his passive and that's hardly even useful.

You mean Season 2, right? Season 3 was when Yi got his pure AD rework.

AP Yi was not fun. It was fun for the one player playing him - at the expensive of everyone else in the game. That is extremely unhealthy.

Why would you want them to buff the most brain dead champ in league?

But did you ever play him ap? it was fun if you remember, stupid, but fun, and he is falling off, Yi is known widely for being OP and Braindead thats how he should be kept!

yi has never been fun, he has always been simple, right click and press q/r

No champ in this game requires higher IQ or anything. It all comes down to right click and 6 buttons, where 2 is very rarely used. Nothing is too hard here to begin with.

Yi is incredibly easy to pick up, but there is a reason why he's almost never played in high elo, and the reason won't be that he's simple or braindead. Against any opponent with some competence, he becomes one of the hard mode of the game due to his 1 dimensional and thus easily exploited kit.

AP Yi was both broken, had 0 counterplay and was completely unfun to play against because every single fight literally comes down to a standoff of Yi going untargetable QQQQQQQQQW and then a coin toss between "I win the game" and "I lost the game". There was no way to meaningfully and organically react and play against that kind of playstyle. There was also virtually no other build for AP Yi except for stacking AP and more AP, which is why the "AP Yi build" usually consisted of 6 Deathcaps back then because that was the only way to utilise the damn thing.

Why would you want that shit back?

Mind you, I am a big Yi fan, he currently has the highest mastery point on my acc. I'm only saying this because AP Yi was just a terrible design through and through and there is nothing to defend or argue for.

......

The current Yi is completely fine as he is, really.

The problem with the old AP Yi is that it literally can not be balanced. It was the pinnacle and the embodiment of the worst nightmares of game balance, especially League, which consist of "no counterplay", "non-interactive gameplay" and "feast-or-famine" ALL AT THE SAME TIME. When there is someone who ticks all boxes casually AND MORE like our handsome AP Yi, it needs to just get removed or reworked, and Riot did both.
