"Minor" Master Yi rework suggestion

Q : New: ACTIVE: Master Yi disappears marking 3 nearby enemies (or traps) to the target location and reappearing there.

Even stealth enemies or those hiding in a fog of war will be marked and shown. During Alpha Strike he is untargetable, immortal, mark damage applies before the strike ends and marked targets take damage even if Yi is blinded. Ability is auto-attack reset and basic attacks reduce Alpha Strike's cooldown by 1 second.

W : New : He can move while meditating for 4 seconds. Meditation reduces incoming damage and cc, halved against turrets. 「 DAMAGE REDUCTION: 28 / 38 / 48 / 58 / 68% 」 「 CROWD CONTROL REDUCTION: 32 / 42 / 52 / 62 / 72% 」

If Yi completes meditation without taking any damage he receives 「 Health: 120 / 200 / 280 / 360 / 440 (+ 90% AP, + 10% HP) 」

Meditate resets Master Yi's autoattack timer.


It feels great if you are able to dodge a skill shot with q or use w to deny killing blows or do extra attack, but the gameplay is often very farm oriented. As a meele ad slayer assassin without any hard or soft cc, ap damage, double/triple cap closers, long jump over walls, immortality, invisibility, shields, teleport, double life, etc you feel bad if someone picks him up in ranked queue.

Having the ability to select a target location and having a non channel meditate that applies CC reduction would be a huge quality of life change.

I would love the ability to:

  • use w and run around without having to cancel it or others cancel it
  • use w to get CC reduction
  • use q to facecheck a brush or detect and damage invisible champions
  • use q to jump over walls and attack minions/champions I did not have vision of
  • use q to gank or escape from one where minions never go

The crowd control reduction amount might be slightly OP especially when R+ item 3142 is used, but that is the whole point. This does not make him overly op or oppressive to play against.

In any case, it is just an idea, you could try it out in PBE.

That's a huge buff, not a rework.
