What if all Master Yi had to do wasn't just Q?

Imagine you held Q pressed down instead and "drew" a line over your screen (the line can be curved or a circle of a star or whatever; you DRAW) and Master Yi followed that line (the same way he Alpha Strikes right now), attacking any enemy in his path (the line would have a small radius of its own).

If he can't hit an enemy (or if he hits 5 or so) he stops behind the last enemy hit. The line could only be so long but you could take as much time as you want drawing it (and draw it while Meditating?). The downside would be that as long as you're drawing you can't do anything else.

Then you couldn't reliably alpha-dodge stuff. Also, that would easily be the slowest ability in league of legends.

So make it a Vi q with less utility and take away master yi's ability to dodge projectiles? No thanks.

"All master had to do wasn't just Q" Okay first off master yi's Q is fine. It's used to either dodge or gapclose, there's nothing wrong with that. He doesn't use Q to deal damage, but to dodge/gap close. So straight off your title is misleading.

The actual suggestion looks way too similar to vi.

Master Yi is already a difficult champion to play correctly and this sounds like a nerf. Dodging and breaking abilities with Q full speed is essential.

To be honest, I've ALWAYS wanted an ability like that in League!

Gives him much more to do with his kit, while requiring a slightly bigger skill floor to use properly AND allowing him to use his current playstyle just as effectively.

What if instead of that, you become invulnerable for 0.5 second. You can then dash a short distance in that second. If you don't dash, the invulnerability ends.

If you do dash, you get the invulnerability again and may dash again. Then it happens one more time, for a total of 3.

I know it may seem OP, or like riven's Q, but hear me out. The damage would be reduced slightly. The dashes could not go through walls, and unless you can choose a direction and press Q in 0.5 seconds, your invulnerability will run out and it will go on cooldown. Maybe it would be like Jhin's R, where you get CDR based on how many dashes you didn't use? This could also help you assassinate low health targets, where before it was up to chance or you'd have to go in with R.

they should go back to OG yi where his Q was his ult and it could hit 10 people
