I have recently had 4 matches in row with a MasterYi master yiMasterYi that completely item 3087 shrektitem 3074 me. He is so over powered. The only way I have found to shut him down is never give him even one kill and stun the heck out of himGnar . Some kind of update would be awesome, but a champion that can dodge your attacks ever 3 seconds (not literally) because his auto- speed is so high he lowers the cool down of his q and is never really in one place. then when you try and run he just pops his ult and you can not get away is just ridiculous. I can even suggest 2 ways for every ability to be changed:

p1- Every --- rd/th hit, Yi hits for 1.--- times normal auto-attack damage stacks fall off every --- seconds. p2- Yi gains --- movement speed in combat. Yi is considered in combat when he has been hit with damage or done damage in the last --- seconds.

q1- Yi teleports to a target location and dashes around to 3 enemy units (prioritizes champions but hits only 2 enemy units if the first target is a champion) [target range looks similar to big gnar e] q2- Yi dashes behind one target and hits them 3 times in quick secession then dashes halfway between the target and his beginning position.

w1- Yi meditates and gains an attack damage bonus through a channel building up throughout the channel. This channel is interrupted by any damage from any source. the bonus damage gains more time and strength the longer yi meditates. w2- yi meditates creating an uncontrollable healing circle healing healing allies and enemies for --- health every (.5?)--- seconds. Ally champions heal for the full amount, YI heals for .75 of the amount, ally minions heal for .5 of the healing, and enemy champions heal for .1 of the heal.

e1- Yi jumps and spins pulling out his daggers on his ankles and throwing them in complete opposite directions slowing himself and enemies hit. e2- on the next attack yi will dash around the target to the opposite side he was on slashing at their sides, dealing damage, applies on hit effects

r1- Yi targets an ally champion and gives them --- movement speed, --- attack power, and --- attack speed while reducing his by the same amount (or half) for --- seconds. r2- Yi enters a trance gaining increased vision range and ability range for 2 passive attacks which deal twice the amount of damage.

I really hope these will stir ideas for a Master yi rework. I left most number up to you to change and I am not good with them anyways but I would love to see this yi rework. feel free to change any of the listed abilities or use them, all I ask is a riot employee email me if you decide to use it with a detailed description of what you used and how you changed it if you did. Thank you for your time... also use the comments bellow to tell me what you think of these, I would love to see what people think of my creativity??

Yi definitely needs rework. He is absolute cancer at low elo and not very viable at high elo. He should be #1 on the rework list.

yi is one of the stronger duelist.... you can't expect him to not win 1v1s, besides.....he still has a tough time against some duelers depending on his build (e.g reksai, shyv, etc). In team fights you'll need to CC him, he will probably show up to a fight 3-5 seconds late so you'll blow all ur cc. soooo no matter what happens, keep atleast 1 hard cc for yi when he shows up.... and if he doesn't then just win 4v5.

yi isn't very hard to deal with unless hes super fed....even then... its possible think of him as an ad version of kat. (they basically had same passive until he got reworked)

his ult duration isnt very long unless he gets kills/assists, he'll need to use it chase, If he uses Q to gap close then he cant dodge anything......keep that in mind and u can actually kite him. Its even better if u got fast moving/fat ppl like rumble or just really fast like sivir. if ur playing tank and hes chasing u...just tank his ult out while running, if u cant live for 10 seconds then try to atleast run away and live for 5 seconds when he activates his E.....he loses alot of his damage if he dosn't have E up....and if his Ult is down too then its a dead yi right there.

and buy thornmail if hes focusing u everytime....even if ur the adc. thornmail isnt very expensive and it'll basically get rid of his life steal allowing u to killl him if hes too fed or its late game.
