His Wuju Strike is pretty... bad. Like, is damage really that important, when you're getting CCed and focused? And his Double Strike hits every seven times, it takes an ETERNITY just to get seven hits.

And how is he supposee to last long enough to get even five autoattacks?

I'm thinking either Wuju Strike needs to be revamped, or Double strike needs to activate a lot quicker.
Maybe Double Strike hits every six/five times, and Wuju strike decreases it to every three strikes?

Master Yi is pretty bad. He doesn't last long enough, and Meditate doesn't help, since you just get stunned then demolished. He's so easy to counter.

His Wuju Style sucks too, and his double strike doesn't really make a difference if you get eaten alive by one stun and one Ability.

Maybe buff his Wuju Strike, so that it actually does something, or buff his Double Strike so it hits every five or six hits? Or maybe buff both of them, or just give him a cc with wuju?

Currently, I've seen some threads and tier lists, and he just sucks. His only real AD strength is that he can kill towers quick, but I've seen other assassin's kill towers really quick too. And Master Yi's skills don't fit well. His AP only makes him a better assassin, while making wuju strike a pain in the *** to even have, while AD, ranged mages one shot kill you, or you get eaten by anyone with decent armor. Even worse, some people can just run off after Alpha Strike, leaving you to just sit there and cry while meditating.

He's too easily countered, and his skills don't fit well together.

Wuju Style and Double Strike fit with AD, but Alpha Strike and Meditate fit with AP. Even if you use him AD, his Meditate won't even be viable anymore, and he'll get killed by people that have better sustainability. People can also just flash away from highlander, which really doesn't help. If all else fails, Stun, he's dead. It doesn't help that he's really reliant on teammates too, since you aren't always paired with the brightest teammates.

I don't mind him being able to hybrid, it's just, his gets killed too easy, and his abilities just suck.

yi needs a rework he dies against everyone !, you'll never get to use his passive on a team fight. furthermore, his ultimate is a joke, it should also give him inmunity to stuns.

Wow this was bumped recently? Holy ****, I remember making this when I sucked dick at this game, and reading it over, I did make quite a bit valid points. But i guess the real thing now is that 'AD' yi is really lacking, and its been taken over by AP yi, which I really doubt was his champion's design intention.

Yi desperately needs a rework because of AP Yi. His abilities are far too strong as AP Yi with far too much toughness. Its like fighting a Veigar with Darius's toughness, and Yi only has APC items.

AD yi is pretty horrible at the moment.
AP yi is less horrible, and definitely has a niche, just not useful overall.

He's iconic and his abilities shouldn't really be changed, maybe something like, after activating highlander you're immune to the next instance of CC used on you? Wuju style is pretty lacking atm as well, he shouldn't lose AD while it's on cooldown at least.

Seriously anyone who thinks AP Yi is not completely broken is off their rocker, It's a champ that can basically choose to "Not be hit by anything less then 2-3 champs" at will and for nearly unlimited duration. And claiming that breaking meditation with Stun and then piling on with a whole team is somehow a fair counter balance is just asinine, That's the worst thing an opposing team can possibly do too you, it that doesn't kill you nothing will, its like saying someone is balanced because they are not able to charge onto the spawn platform and murder your whole team 5v1, just because their is a limit to a champs power dose not make it balanced.

The Meditation heal rate needs massive nerf, it should be a way to lane-sustain, or avoid/delay a recall. Not an instant at-will Hourglass, I'd just take AP completely out of the things scaling and make it work only off spell level at a predictable health rate that would be respectable for sustain but doesn't act as nigh-invulnerability.

AP Yi isn't broken at all, he has one burst which can only hit most your team if there are no minions around.

His meditate is broken by any form of CC other than blinds and slows, wow so hard. There are less than 20 champs who cannot break his meditate...yea so broken
