Talk:Master Yi/@comment-24496127-20150817050514/@comment-24496127-20150818145445

I'm chalking that up to like, literally the dialect in the Northeast getting to me. It's stupidly hard to ignore sometimes.

No but really I live twenty minutes away from Philly, and often go into the city. Tone of voice is pretty important in conveying your purpose there, and that unfortunately doesn't translate well into text. Or at least that's the excuse I'm stick to.

" I'm not the first person you've argued with in your quest to convince people how X is unbalanced/broken/toxic"

" UN Ovvrn, is that you?"

"a dding your Nth comment about how much damage he deals isn't going to contribute in any positive way."

" it's pointless griping like this that clogs up the comment sections"

Perhaps it's more outright agressive than passive agressive, but after using the internet for so long, anything short of outright wishing death to my relatives is relatively mild. Either way, these are pretty clearly said with some ill intent.

As for the math, because this is important to many people, even though I really didn't want to do it, and feel it wasn't really the point in my post.

The yi in question, after looking back through my match history, had a Sated, Bork, berserkers, and an infinity edge. HIs next item was last whisper so I assume he also had a longsword at the time. He was about level 14 at the time. Including ultimate, he would have an attack speed of about 1.9 if we round down very slightly. He was also using ad marks, two ad quints with one lifesteal, and scaling ad blues. Placing him at 227 ad. GIven Master yi's e scales with 22% of your AD, that comes down to an almost perfect 50 bonus true damage when you do the math. +30 for base means he did 80 true damage with every single onhit effect proc.

First the situation this occured in, because that holds some relevance to how this happened in this case. With Master Yi being so strong, I was worried about our teams support bard getting caught out when trying to ward, so I followed him up to baron at a lot slower of a pace(with a strong Yi, and the enemy team having a vayne and swain, you need to watch dem barons). Anyway, I finally get about to baron from the path to the right of east blue buff, and right as I do, the Yi jumps on our Bard from top lane. Bard had a talisman and aegis. Bard did not live very long. He survived at best three autoattacks, since despite Yi really making an impression on me that game, it actually ended more so due to my bot lane feeding, so Bard was weak as hell. Then Yi turns on me, and since I'm olaf and he can't be slowed I turn to fight.

Now, assuming that Bard died in three autoattacks, and the death recap is to be trusted(which it's really not) and I was killed in 1.579 seconds, yes that's the exact number, then in this scenario 900 true damage is possible(although since we're being technical the exact amount was like 880). Starting off, he q'd to me. Q applies E. Thats 80 true damage there. Then, his next attack proc'd his E 3 times, twice with double strike and once with phantom hit. Since q damage is delayed until landing, I'm going to assume the timer in death recap started at almost the exact same time as his auto attack. That's 320 true damage all together so far. Now according to this source

His next strike will be one proc of true damage, with the three following that being two procs. Assuming 1.9 attaks per second over 1.6 seconds, Yi will get three attacks. With two left, He'll manage to get another three procs assuming he just stands there and auto attacks. That brings the total damage to 560.....buuuut meditate auto attack reset allowed him to cheese in one more in this case, bringing it to a total of 720. So there, not quite 900, but it certainly wouldn't take 2.5 attack speed and 539 Attack damage to get that much true damage.

It's possible another attack went through but I was already dead, which would bring the grand total of damage to exactly 880, but really I don't care. My entire point was that I was surprised by a large amount of True damage a Master Yi did, mostly because it's rare I'm tanky enough where it really matters nearly as much as his basic attacks. The number didn't really even matter that much, just the point that Yi does large amounts of true damage. I personally never thought of it as something he does well, hence my surprise to see he does. There's math to back up how high it can get, considering that's looking at roughly a two second window.

If someone takes this as me saying he's op after all that I might just rip my hair out.
