So, uh... full-build Yi can now crit with Alpha strike for 1k+ damage and has 120 true damage on each AA when E is active with max AS... So, like, one Feast or Noxian Guillotine per 2s...

Remind me how this rework's balanced again? It's like, the ridiculous perma high damage Alpha Strike of AP Yi (my Q killed you? Q again! That killed someone else? Q!) only with the DPS of AD Yi except better. The only real nerf is to Meditate's heal which is just the classic Riot "we hate sustain" change.

But yeah, now he plays a lot like AP Yi in terms of Alpha Strike functionality but because he's AD and the CD resets are passive now there's really no skill involved in gauging when your Q will kill something, and he plays a lot like the old unkiteable AD Yi except now he has percent bonus to AD rather than flat and goddamn true damage scaling off his total AD.

I dunno, I played him, felt he was disgustingly overpowered, and saw a game with him in it where the player had clearly never even played Yi before (started Machete and pots in lane because they're the recommended starting items) but went on to snowball and destroy the entire enemy team single-handedly. He outdamages Vayne for god's sake, and Vayne's way easier to kite or pin down!

I dunno, maybe I'm wrong and there is some incredibly easy way to deal with him that I'm missing, but if there is I'd rather like to hear it seeing as I'm seeing him in pretty much every game at the moment and I'd rather it didn't come down to "one team has Yi, gg".
