Ok, i just got out of a game with an AP Yi, would someone please explain to me how building AP on YI makes his meditate heal faster than anyone can damage him? The only upgrades that should come to Meditate should be through leveling.

To all the people who are suggesting CC
You shouldnt have to stun a champ to be able to deal damage to them unless their a beastly tank, or are doing an impossible amount of damage. Your suggesting CC as a solution to a basic ability (its not even an ult) whose cooldown is instantly refreshed by yis ult.. how does this make any sense?

To the people that disagree, i challenge you to name 1 other champ with a basic ability (not ult) that not only ignores all damage of any kind, but fully heals the champ and can last as long as meditate can (in addition that champs ult must reduce the CD of their abilitys. If you cannot do that then dont try and argue that its not broken

Along with hundreds more on yt


Update: If a riot employee does read this thread and comments, please share the real reason for Yi's meditate, what did its designers see it adding to yis kit and allowing him to do?

Because it doesnt just heal, it also gives a massive Armor and MR buff.

I honestly have to agree that its ridiculous, I went against AP Yi earlier today as Diana. I bursted him down quite fast but he always ran back to the turett meditated, and then proceeded to spam q.

AP yi is superior in lane to anyone who can't cc his meditate. He punishes you for playing dumb.

It's what makes AP Yi viable.
Also, the heal speed doesn't increase through level, he simply heals for more.
You should see AD Yi if you're complaining about AP Yi.

yeah his heal is dumb, but apart from his q, it's all ap yi has

I dont rmbr correctly but... Yi's meditate gives 300 armor and resist, and heals for 800+4xAP.

U gotta use some kind of cc that can disrupt his meditate or else throw up grievouse wound onto him to help. Not just continuoasly auto him down.
