Still seems pretty good to me, the nerfs they gave him are actually still buffs pretty much, unless they nerfed him again

@@LukeA471 Yes, after the first "nerf" they realised that yi was way too strong and a hotfix nerfed him pretty hard.

@@Merowinger100 oh rip

@@Merowinger100 like enormous nerfs, flat 25% or more on most abilities

@@Tantakugames yeah i know, i actually played him this patch very often and got Platin4 for the first time, now i probably wait until a buff

lol

He is the kind of champ that can be piloted by a brain dead player with relative ease but when played by a onetrick has some actually difficult skill expression in his kit through using alpha to dodge abilities and the frame perfect tower shot meditate interaction.

@@TheKaratejesus literally understanding game mechanics will let you unleash maximum potential of any champ

It is the same guide since 2013 xD

@@cnydo the W bug isn't a general game mechanic

we could revert, we instead give him the pre rw yorick treatment

They even presented the rework as a nerf x)

Ye bcs his under 50% wr in all elos isnt enough. Lets make 45 % wr even worse in plat but w.e low elo players keep getting clickbaited like the losers they are.

@@Artur-sp8qn It was above 50% in pretty much every elo before the hotfix and 57% in lower ranks, they simply bombed him because he was way too strong and they went on "inside discussion of the goals" so we would need to wait a long time for a proper solution, meanwhile dealing with this abomination, so riot instead nerfed him into the ground. I prefer a champ being useless than permaban

Kappa

we got ahri we got garen we got yi. we eating good

Season 12 is not skillled season

Tristana is still viable on any position besides support so it's Trist first then Garen

Garen build work perfectly on my rank even it is in pla/dia+ elo and that build also make your enemies a little bit annoyed so yea tks dobby

Looks like he can do veigar too now

its much more than right click. knowing when to and when not to alpha-q is crucial. when and how to use ult/w also very important. timing is crucial. otherwise yi is just a squishy no dmg champion.

“Q on *top* of your target”

That’s how it should work but for me it seems a bit bugged when the alpha strike kills a target… if something else kills the target you are alphaing it always works

just some random tips in the comment

still not something you should rely on to last hit, q on a minions wave mean you gonna push the wave to their side as well.

But it can be inconsistant sometimes due to the q not being isolated

I love you cause of the cocogoat pfp ♥️

If you are good enough and enemies have skillshot CCs, you can engage fights and nearly 1v5. If they have Malzahar R or TF gold card, you need a tank vanguard that engage for you and disrupt eminent team. Yi is a good duoQ champion

I was about to mention this, unfortunately is the truth

the fact that Titanic is suddenly growing in popularity baffles me nobody thought of it even after no longer requiring to be melee (and I include myself) thrn you see champions like Katarina and Twitch (paired with runaan for twitch) because it does ooga booga poke damage now Yi too

that's the thing, why would you made begginer friendly champions when they eventually will be useless? Lee sin is great example of what a champion should be, he is braindead enough that when you don't master him you will still do a lot of damage and he is skillfull enough that has a high learning curve that will get you only better and better over time and once you master, you have 200 years of collective balancing experience, that's what a begginer friendly champion should look like, not that garbage sword goes bonk tryndamere/ garen, that basically will run out of plays by day 2 playing then.

@@Nobody-su9km tryndamere and garen are great beginner champs. because the higher rank you go the more useless they become. so eventually (unless you're really good) you will hit a dead end. (usually plat)

@@Nobody-su9km I have said it, and I will say it again. Yasuo Pretty easy to learn and get kills, especially when you play cautiously and don't try get that 1v3 highlights Yet stil difficult enough to master so he doesn't fall out of relevance in higher ranks.

And getting absolutely shitted on.

@@pi5272 let me guess. Hardstuck silver lol?

I WAS IN ALPHA

It's just wrong with yi, since when played right he has almost 0 counterplay. Being able to play him in 3 lines succesfully just says how broken he is, like, Q is untargetability every 2 seconds with damage that can almost delete an ADC, almost perma MS in his ult that buffs him to +500 and damage reduction. Also, he has enough healing and damage to solo baron relatively quickly at 3 items, he is just fkng OP when played and set up correctly, not for something funneling yi was such an OP strategy that they had to straight up remove. I dont see it being balanced, tbf, Yi is just a cancer that even if you get him behind, he can just get 2 kills out of nowhere in a TF and then carry the whole game like it is nothing

@@sorkam7827stun or zohnya = an useless yi . idk about you but killing a yi is way way fucking easier than yone akali irelia . and not to mention is he start the game behind everyone. And even if you think about it , a strong yi is nothing to those 200 years when they can stun lock you to death . i played since s2 , yi is just a tiny dot compare to the 200 years nowaday .

@@daroxstebern4514 half true, yi has a deceptively strong early game , even more so with the buffs he got for lane yi. If you run lethal tempo you can legit duel top laners with ig and win matchups like in the video stated above.

@@daroxstebern4514 Stuns make useless every champion, so when true, it just is a argument for every champion that " stun = useless". And when you take into account HOW easy it is to stun him, it is way harder to do than every other 200 year champion that you list, since they dont have untargetability 3/4 of the time theyre on the battlefield. Yi has arguably the best DPS out of all champions, while he has the benefit of being untargetable most of the time, without any tradeoff, how isnt it op? Yeah, yone IS strong and hard to counter, but starting that not everyone can use him well (and even if they can) he just has some points that balance it out, like his E having high cooldown and almost every teamfighting strenght locked behind his ultimate. Yi doesnt have any of these, since all of his power is in basic attacks (no CD) and his Q that has almost no CD, while having the potential to dodge every stun you throw at him, and im not even counting the drakktar build that makes him invisible too, making virtually kinda impossible to stun lock him up. And yeah, he has a fucking great early game, his damage is quite remarcable and high, since i have fallen on the trap of "Yi his weak early, easy win" only to have half my HP taken out by one of his Q and then dying like an idiot.

@@sorkam7827 the only reason when yi feel hard to do anything against is when he is fed . basically at that point countering should be hard since he is fed . but the point is he has no real safe way to protect himself after re appearing . when it is easier for 200 years champ to be in and out in an instant . you cant stun ire w , you cant stop yone e , or stun his q or r . You have hard time dealing with yi because he is fed but it doesnt mean it is impossible like the 200 years.

Wuju

@Your Nightmare correct me if im wrong but every champ in the game presses q....... retard subhumans

just change the language?

@@tztzu4351 No.

Removing his e or making it deal raw damage

and his mundo/alistar ult on his W

Lots of bruisiers can counter tryndamere if they build armor/defensive items for baiting his ultimate. In mid elo, everyone knows that master yi is one of the best counters for trynda. You just build randuin, and he will not be able to outdamage you during your W healing.

@@rodrigojurado8719 And we seen zero bruisers vs it in pro play? like less than 10%. Sorry never been back to mid elo for over 3 years or I think that's where mid elo is? serious question where is mid elo? gold or plat or silver?

@NOT anNPC the 2 more realest things I've ever read about this game lmfao

It is a nerf, not for master yi but the full lethality/ad builds for him. They just really want onhit yi back.

Old Aatrox didn't permajump on kills, mate.

@@Geheimnis-c2e Oh fr? On word? Just like that?

Hahqhahaha, Yeah, but some streamers i saw said it ended up begging Berger in late, im sure nobody expected this to turn into a badass monster¡

Nerf for lethality

@@user-xz8jr4xm8u it wasn't even a nerf for lethality though. Lethality Yi did more damage due to E proccing on the Q with Lethality Yi actually having a decent amount of AD to back up the E ratio. Having a longer cooldown on natural Qs didn't mean anything when it exploded people and you got the ult refresh anyway.

you never did

Until Yi buys stopwatch ⏱️ 😪 😔

@@TheKaratejesus Can't beat em join em

angry cowsep noises

thats the problem with lethality yi, not with on hit yi

el daño on hit del carcaj no aplica para campeones, todo el lvl 1 que ves en el video es el yi de siempre, un poco peor porque bajaron el daño de la q. Si en el pbe era derrota segura cuando ibas contra yi es porque ese server esta lleno de gente que no tiene mucho nivel, así cualquier champ se feedea y ya xd

@@sarunightamber701 hablando de Yi, es de los pocos campeones que puede hacer 1 vs 1 sin problemas, creo que su counter principal vendria siendo Vayne, por la invisibilidad que tiene y el daño verdadero, Jax si llevas fajin no te pasara nada, o si le esquivas a tiempo la E con el Alpha..

@@usuariocomundeyoutube9985 tienes toda la razon, cualquier champ con tipo de intarjeatibilidad es counter de yi, siempre ha sido asi y siempre losera hasta q lo reworken xD

Agree with you!

Jax CS is longer than alpha strike. Therefor jax wins

he didnt

@@user-mx1ek4sl2m none honestly but I have a jard time imagining yi beating jax because counterstrike counters ur whole kit and it's on such a low cd

@@mks1702 only if yi had an ability to dodge counter strike while also damaging the enemy at the same time. I could go on extreme details if you want on how to do so with 80-90% of the time. Shit, I could even write you an analysis if you wish but im on vacations so that would have to wait a day.

an item for 1300 gold exists to counter them (well alistar is tricky since you can't dispell his W and Q :/ ) but leona shouldn't be a problem

only way is if he gets caught by the enemy team with cc chain. Otherwise, even in teamfight he will recover and eat everyone up

@@spxcyinc Isn't that most champs that are ahead?

he just gotta press Q

​@@amogus205 The times where he won fights that weren't based on having team intervention, either Yi was ahead, the enemy misplayed and or the enemy simply did not have anyone with a kit that could deal with him. With any of those circumstances of course Yi should win. Why shouldn't he? However the way his kit is designed makes it so that Yi can only take advantage of these situations. If none of these situations are occurring then Yi is completely useless. Same shit with champs like Pyke or Katarina. These champs can absolutely destroy, but if they are against a team that knows how to counter them and then these champs fall off they can't do anything about it. Yi did not win "just from pressing Q". Yi won because he was already winning. Tryndamere, how do you counter his R? You don't let him attack you by avoiding attacks. Aatrox, how do you counter him? You avoid his Q as best as you can, you cc him and you buy antiheal. Any tank, how do you counter them? You get lethality, magic pen, hp burn, true damage, armor shred items or abilities. Any assassin, how do you counter them? Don't feed them kills, have cc, have a good tank, outburst them. Any enchanter, how do you counter them? You buy items that negate their abilities. Any champ with cc, how do you counter them? Tenacity. Everything in League has some form of counter and it's quite formulaic, and when you fail to do these counters then of course it makes those champions look incredibly strong. Morgana for example, her root on her Q lasts quite a long time. A lot of people complain about it so much, about how long it lasts. Reality is if you brought the appropriate item that either blocks spells or cleanses debuffa or took the cleanse summoner spell, that 3 second root suddenly becomes a 0-1 second root, and it's no longer a problem. The strongest ability a champion has that causes so much annoyance in a community, completely negated in 1 button press. Most champs that seem OP only look OP because people allow that champ to overpower them.

yeah good job on him, to bad his opponents dont get that privilege since their facing a point click champion

What exhaust, E true damage go brrrr, R slow immunity go brrrr
