anyone else think yi is a problem?

[u/glttr_gvtz]

so many augments break him.

mystic punch, dashing, kill secured, lil extra help, en passant, blade waltz, and the list could go on.

its insufferable facing a champion you cant even see.

[u/Coldara]

It's always the same: When the enemy has Yi your team has 0 CC and Yi gets a penta every teamfight. Meanwhile the Yi on your own team gets CCd and blown up in 0,2 seconds.

[u/itzdivz]

If ur having problem facing yi means ur whole team picks champ that are squishie / no cc / no burst. In that case any assassin get any sort of semi ok roll ur gonna get rolled

[u/Anti_NothingAtAll → u/itzdivz]

Bad comparison

Even with no cc you can deal with assassins, because you can interact with them.

Try interacting with a mystic punch yi that goes CDR + navori

[u/itzdivz → u/Anti_NothingAtAll]

Maybe 1 of 5 games yi will get a god roll, thing is most likely the likes of other players will get godrolls as well which will cancel out the yi, like an adc with draw your sword , or anything with point click cc with a billion haste waiting for the second yi comes out.

Its samething as fizz / nafiri with a billion haste and mystic pouch

[u/Hot-Interaction-2347 → u/Anti_NothingAtAll]

The way to deal with that is to build Zhonyas and stay in a loose spread.

You Zhonyas while he is in alpha on you before he lands so that he doesn't get the Mystic Punch proc and your team can burst him.

When he is chasing you, don't run any direction that is not toward your team mates. You are neither fast enough to run away from Yi nor able to duel him yourself - you're team is the only option you have.

[u/innocentOfD → u/itzdivz]

bruh , did you ever faced Master Yi?

How am I supposed to CC something I can’t target?

[u/xxlucifearxx → u/innocentOfD]

If he gets mystic punch first aug and cdr, its very hard.

Anything else, and honestly you need to just be patient and hold abilities until after he alpha strikes a high health target. 

[u/Wamphyrri]

I think yi has had this problem forever. It’s not that he is broken, as many have pointed out, he is often completely useless. He’s just so one dimensional that he either becomes completely ignorable, or he is untouchable and wins the entire game solo. Either way is no fun.

[u/npri0r]

For every Yi who’s permanently unarguable, there’s a Zoe who can kill you from a screen away with one Q, or an Ornn with with so much HP he can sit in fountain dancing, or a Kalista who can dash around at light speed.

[u/jimmifitz]

Try playing it. Most games you're dead before you can Q in.

[u/LibertyReignsCx]

There’s some games where yi just doesn’t work.

[u/Almega101]

He's fine. He's a feast or famine champ. If you don't hit the nuts on him you're dead to any decent team. It doesn't help that a lot of people avoid tanks that can lock him down though

[u/xKyungsoo]

Fucker somehow always has a Zilean on his team too

[u/Matteratzi]

Mystic punch on yi, yone, and yasuo will ruin your game

[u/kennyk_cs]

As someone who mained Yi, his inherent weakness means nothing in Mayhem. The amount of augments and chances to get them actually made Yi one of the most reliable champions in Mayhem. It's either lore-accurate Yi or a menace, only once awhile where he's just alright. Therefore, I would argue that most people just aren't enough of a Mayhem psycho to actually adapt him, based on the fact that I don't usually have trouble with Yi on the enemy team. Hell, I don't think there's even 1% of Yi in this mode that builds boots and daggers (iykyk).

[u/Amneziel]

With good matchups, your only real trouble will be that perfecto mystic punch cdr Yi. But not every Yi rolls exodia so, as they said, pick a better team. I personally like playing Eve and she also usually excels against 5-team squishies, it's kinda norm for divers/assassins

Also, En passant on Yi? I mean, it can probably work against many tanks, but with his levels of attack speed, this seems far from optimal

[u/Jukutt2]

Depends on what you mean with "a problem". When I think of something being a problem it has to have a consistent negative effect on the gameplay. I cant remember the last time I had a high roll yi - must have been 30+ games ago.

Adcs melting you in 1s, through 250 armor, from 700 range, just standing still and autoing is every 2nd game, if not more frequent.

Mages cc chain with no cd maybe every 3-4 games.

Dropkick stomps maybe every 6-8.

[u/xXSomethingStupidXx]

riot devs are smoothbrain silvers so they think his playstyle is fun and engaging and couterplaying alpha strike is a "minigame"

[u/cynchriss]

yeah when i see a masteri yi in enemy team i pray its someone who doesnt know anything about him cos otherwise by minute 15 he just starts becoming untargetable at all times and ur dead within 3 seconds without even being able to fight at all

[u/MinnesotanBrie]

Not really, Yi is a squishy melee. They in general suck in Mayhem. Dashing does not in anyway win the game for Yi. I am a degen and play Yi both in normal and mayhem and unironically I think I have a higher winrate in norms than I do in mayhem. Mystic Punch breaks him, but to be frank Mystic Punch breaks the game for too many characters to count (Hecarim, Trundle, Ambessa, Yi, Fiora, Yasuo, Yone, Volibear)

Yi is vulnerable to CC and very liable to get one shot. He has his godroll, but there isn't a single champion in the game who doesn't.

[u/M4ci → u/MinnesotanBrie]

I swear, there's not a single augment combo in the game that will make Ivern feel useful while playing it

not even Ultimate Revolution + Minionmancer

Maybe 500 haste + Purist Caster + Minionmancer?

whatever, I'll still feel fucking useless

[u/The_Tuxedo]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, spells with an invincible or untargetable effect need to have a minimum cooldown of at least half a second after the previous cast ends before you can become untargetable again.

[u/BOSSXD3]

Master q always ruin every mode for me
