Master Yi Rework thought? w/ Video
Hello!
This is a concept I created for Master Yi, a big update to the current kit and playstyle of this champion
My idea was to make Master Yi a viable champion within higher elos and even competitive play
Master Yi's current kit is very....old? I'm not sure if that's the current word for it; maybe outdated?
One of my biggest issues with older champion kits is having a passive ability built into your 4 clickable abilities. Wuju style still sorts of falls into the category.
With this kit, we switched around most of Yi's kit into a more mobile, slashing swordsman who can still hard carry team fights BUT has a much higher skill cap in order to do so
Let me know what everyone thinks!
Also as you guys know, I create champion concepts for my Youtube channel, would love to give us creators more of a voice and using my platform to do so. please watch the video I made for his concept and support the channel if you would like!
Passive: [New] Art of Swords
Yi has studied too perfect the movement and
the composure of his blades, sharpening his skills with each battle
Yi Gains attack speed from building attack damage X%
Yi also has a perma cap on his attack speed (2.00%)
once he reaches his cap, Master Yi gains a
speed animation boost for abilities I - II - III
*Similar to Graves passive with auto-attack animations
Ability I: [ New] Masterful Slash
[Removed ] - Alpha strike effect
skill-shot similar to Sylas Q skill-shot ( wider range )
Master Yi slashes the area in front of him twice
leaving behind 2 fissures cut into the air
dealing damage and slowing targets who walk through the fissures
after a few seconds, the fissures will erupt
dealing additional damage
applying a stack of divine adaptation to enemy champions
Ability II: [New] Tactical Deflection
[ Removed Mediate ]
Master Yi spins his blade around him
deflecting all incoming projectile abilities and basic attacks
for x seconds ( maybe 2 seconds? )
- similar to Fiora riposte, if the parry skill-shot
is pointed towards a target whose attacks are being deflected
Master Yi will dash behind target champion
granting bonus movement speed
- decaying for 2 seconds
Ability III: [Reworked] Way of Wuju
Master Yi demonstrates the way of Wuju,
heightening his battle abilities for x seconds
- increased auto attack range for the first auto attack on a target
( + 150 range? )
- when auto attacking a target, Yi dashes through the air towards their location
similar to talon Q marking the target with divine adaptation
the same target cannot be marked a second time within x seconds
*meaning you can not dash attack to that target - think Yasuo E
- once the way of Wuju has expired or you reactivate the ability
each mark stacked, grants a small portion
of gray generated health for x seconds ( larger portion for champions )
Ability IV: [Reworked] Unlocked Potential
Yi combines both of his swords together from the hilt
channeling his ancients magic into the blades ;
channels for 3 seconds ( X% damage reduction, channel cannot be interrupted or canceled )
unlocking his true potential, lasting x seconds
- during this form, Master Yi loses all of his current abilities
instead, he gains 3 charges ( 1 on each skill key ) of alpha strike
- works exactly like old alpha strike
only get 3 charges total of this ability
- also gains bonus movement speed and tenacity as well
