I have to admit, after all my times of playing as Yi for over 2 years from Season 3 (Lissandra's release; I've also done a number of edits on this page as a Yi main), I have to agree with one of my friends that Yi doesn't have that much counterplay other than hard cc. He just runs up to someone and they "usually" die, or he somehow flatout dies cause he overextended.

The only way to stop Yi is to pretty much make him blow his ult, especially since the steroids make him able to out-duel anyone with enough attack speed from other sources. Then again a fed Jax is pretty much around the same level.

Some parts of him still need a buff, but I really think he should have more counterplay other than a 70% reset from his Highlander so he won't Alpha Strike at anytime upon a kill like with AP Yi. Even bruiser Yi with a proper build from his core items can easily still do so much damage, with the added bonus of living longer.

But alas, he's only like this up to the late game if he gets his power spikes from items. Still, I feel some parts of him still need to be changed, but I don't know what.
