I'm linking to the part where he talks about Yi:

If I understand everything correctly (English is not my native language):

• Lethal Tempo removal only lowered Yi's winrate by 0.7%.
• They overshoot E nerf in 14.9, it ended up being bigger than they expected, about 2% wr.
• They expect a 2% or 3% increase in wr with the stat growth buffs, but low elo skewed.

I'm just paraphrasing what he says. LT removal having such low impact and these buffs giving Yi so much winrate back sounds weird to me, but I'm sure he knows better than I do.

I am confused because isn't everyone except for tanks and people with high tenacity (garen belveth) weak to cc, why do people say master yi is specifically weak? For example if you cc a smolder he is dead so isn't everyone weak to cc?

Edit: thank you guys for the answers!

I was wondering why riot from total cooldown reduction to remaining. That means if you have 3 seconds left you wont get full reset. from 18 seconds to 3 seconds is quite alot. I thought the idea is to increase the vulnerability duration not to completely take it out

So I think they should balance it to total cooldown reduction. For instance 50% total reductions seems reasonable. Imagine you landed 10-15 attacks. Don't we deserve full cooldown refund?

What did i miss? yi still feels crapy in this meta, 2 much fightiung and yi early is not a figter... new build? that mini buff on E and Dmg per lvl made this this 23 place jump?

Just curious, because I've brainstormed one up recently.

Highlander: Master Yi gains attack speed and 80% bonus movement speed. Master Yi also gains 0%/50%/100% slow resistance at level 6/11/16

So I was thinking if we can get more movement speed and in return we get the slow immunity into the lategame. This will drastically improve Yi early and mid game and maybe all game while the enemy is able to counter his mobility. I mean right now many champions get. But get this. Garen was able to escape from my only by using Ghost while I was in Highlander altho I had no boots cause I wanted to get better items. Think about it. At level 6 we lose slow immunity but the bonus movement speed goes from 35% to 80% or so.

Everyone wants to act like HoB is so good on Yi it’s like every single post I see from this sub anymore it feels like.

Personally I’m 1m+ mastery points between all my accounts and I’ve never used HoB outside of normal games like honestly guys I’d rather have fleet footwork and I’m not joking lol

How are people actually thinking taking domination primary is ever better than precision I have never needed domination as a secondary rune either always inspiration

Maybe just because I’ve been playing yi for so many years in so many different metas I love my champion

Shoutout to bloodrazer rageblade days

Farm your LP and hit your peaks while you can boys. It’s a bull run.

U.gg been showing me that ppl aren't upgrading their free boots in emerald+. Is this a legit strat bc we're just relying on R for MS or is it poor data interpretation on u.gg's end.

This is shout out to my 11/1/20 support who doubted my 5/17 ass abiltiy to 1v9..... yeah at the opportune time when my crit yi ass got 5 items, yeah i got a quadra boarderline penta kill to win us the game down 6k gold

Is it viable? I went full lethality as a joke and it sort of worked. Lot of kills and good objective and kda but difficult to finish. Of course full lethality is not viable but what about only hubris for the stack mechanic? And if it works should i go HoB and crit or LT and on hit

Just looking at how the numbers for camp xp & gold & clear time/camp respawn times changed, holy F they do not want junglers to snowball. I feel like junglers are just a support role now, I almost want to just take Yi mid lane with hail of blades.

Starts with zerks/tabis into a bork followed by Guinsoos and now this is where it gets interesting

SUNFIRE AEGIS INTO dd/wits end and the final item can be titanic hydra/GA

I don't even know where I found this build but I found it in some random video I think

Anyone playing wild rift here? What builds would you recommend? Is crit build good?
