Master Yi tho...

[quote=Kadius]Okay so this morning im playing ranked which I basically never do but since I want to get onto silver I decided to start playing again. Anyways due to feeding raging and crying amongst the others we ended up tilting and losjng, I then had a break after being demoted. But I couldn't allow for this, I had to play dirty of course. I went back to Bronze 2 almost only playing Yi. HES SO STRONG. People say hes weak early back thats rubbish, his q has stupid base damage and his e makes his early aas hurt. I snowballed everygame annd carried myself up a division in just one afternoon. Riot kinda needs to nerf him like holy crap.[/quote]

[quote=Vaan99]He's not problematic. He's farm dependant melee hyper carry very vulnerable to cc. That means if you have low farm, you are weak, if they have too much cc you are useless. Having that in mind, Yi is still good soloqueue champions, just look at Cowsep, he managed to get pretty high in Korea with only Yi, that means if you get stuck at certain elo, it's not problem in champion instead it's problem in you. Keep playing Yi if you are having fun, it should be relatively easy to rank up.[/quote]

[quote=MungoGeri]I agree with Vaan99. [[master yi]] is a good snowball character especially in low ELO solo queue. However, as you rank up, you will run into more enemies who understand how to handle him using cc. The counter to this strategy in a team fights is to have [[master yi]] stay back for a couple of seconds after an engage -- hoping the enemy team uses all of their primary cc on his allies -- and then have him enter the fray and wreak havoc. Of course, the counter to this tactic is for the enemy to save a hard cc specifically for [[master yi]]. That's what I do when I'm supporting versus a [[master yi]], [[katarina]], or many assassins. I'll intentionally hold back some form of hard cc to use against them when they dive against my adc. A stunned, polymorphed, or taunted [[master yi]] in the middle of an enemy team is a dead [[master yi]]. But, yes, if the enemy team does not cc him, [[master yi]] is fantastic.[/quote]

[quote=BigBoxGamer]Mastery Yi is weak. He's weak as fuck, idiots just don't know how to play against him.[/quote]

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]Yi in Bronze. "4 shot every single person on. The enemy team because you can build devoured and Botrk and maaaaybe a last a Whisper but can probably replace Randuins with something else"[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]I do think tho the new defensive items have a high impact on the viability of tanky Yi, as he doesn't need to go full damage to do damage. An item like [[sterak's gage]] on Yi because he is likely to get bursted down should have a huge impact. Or [[Titanic Hydra]] that can be used really well with 2.5 AS and Devourer.[/quote]

However, [[Sterak's Gage]] is an interesting item on him, one that I will have to test more, on the other hand, [[Titanic Hydra]] seems to be a lackluster option. (Still need more testing to be certain)[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]The build I did use on my Project Yi test was [[skirmisher's sabre - devourer]], [[sterak's gage]], [[mercury's treads]], [[blade of the ruined king]], [[dead man's plate]], [[wit's end]], [[mercury's treads - captain]]. Worked out well. http://matchhistory.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/PBE1/55389056/710955[/quote]
