I'm one of the guys that enjoyed seeing the odd AP Yi a year ago or so and didn't find it one bit annoying until he became FOTM. Now I consider the AP Yi build one of the worst things that could happen to this game. Why? We all know why, because apart from the 5x all the counterplay you can really adopt is spamming potions and doing your best to push him back, which is hard to do because virtually infinite sustain and easy mode pushing. And the second he gets a kill or two in a teamfight he will deal stupidly strong heaps of damage. Many other champions can do that too but AP Yi is so easy to play it's almost impossible to mess up as him. Hence he's so popular in all game modes and considered OP (which he technically is). It's curious why Riot doesn't consider AP Yi to be toxic to the game and I'd like to hear them explain this to me, because as I see AP Yi it's a gimmick with low counter play which players at all levels like to abuse at the moment.

See, I don't mind AP for example - she can do almost the same thing with  or instagib you with {{ai|Tristana| but playing against her is actually fun and challenging, not ridiculous and boring. AP Sion used to be a popular gimmick as well but there's counterplay involved - you have a few seconds to nuke his shield down and make him vulnerable.

I can continue with the examples but I don't see a point - people's feedback as well as my own experience have shown that AP Yi should be either severely toned down or removed. It's hardly a "fun" build, both to play with or against and doesn't bring any interesting gameplay going on.
