None of you chaps here play high elo (some exceptions, and I know these people who do).

Yi dominates slow one-trick-ponies, punishes cutless/gunblade/frozen mallet users, evades Karthuses and Ziggs-s.

It's just that in high elo, Yi is not viable FOR YOU. And neither is Tryndamere. And neither is Urgot.

To second the above poster, Yi is a counterpick and too much risk of a choice for blind-pick normals. Other than that, it punishes 4 or 5 legendary items and dominates 1/3 of LoL champions total. It obliterates said champions when they rush/invest on those 4 or 5 legend items. Which is the logical reason to pick him in the first place, e.g. when you expect a Frozen Mallet Gankplank or a Rylai's Scepter Karthus. And so on.

By the way, I have crushed countless of noobs in normal games and trolled countless of frustrated opponents in low elo games with Master Yi, just because they don't expect QSS and/or Cleanse and/or Tenacity (late game boots are always Mercuries' Trends in low elo, or you like to lose).

Hah!
