Talk:Master Yi/@comment-4717259-20130518140424/@comment-5266525-20130521000405

Having had to deal with three AP Yi's mid in a row on my other account I find myself in strong agreement with DeMi189.

He suffers from all of the infuriating and unfun elements that made AP Tryndmere so infamous (ludicrous farming/splitpushing and complete immovability in lane because of huge heals) and worsens the problem by adding in powerful, unrequitable poke which you barely even have to aim properly to use and teamfighting which tends to disregard how fed he is and simply involves getting a lucky reset and snowball on Q.

Any fun the Master Yi player has comes at the huge expense of every other player in the game, even his allies, who all feel powerless to stop him either running them through or taking the lion's share of the gold with his unstoppable farming. Even managing to successfully stop him doesn't especially bring about much entertainment either as all it takes is one simple stun or silence mid-tankitate to end him - this is unsatisfying for opponents and unsatisfying for the Yi player who got shut down pretty much wholly because he was hit with a hard CC.

He is practically the definition of toxic. I do not see any possible way his gameplay could be justified as healthy for the game.
