Playing over 40 games of Yi in a row, I believe his W could be more useful while his E is arguably too strong. But the latter remains to be seen.

I think his W could use a very interesting mechanic - namely freeze buff durations while he is meditating, extending them for as long as Meditate lasts.

This would not only synergize with his kit such as his E and R, but many items(BotrK, Youmuu) and teammate AoE/targetted buffs. Possibly keep it only to his E/R if items/ally buffs would be too powerful.

Currently a Yi has to gimp himself to use Meditate because of how poorly it desynergizes with his E and R. A Yi out of Meditate is a Yi without his E or his R most likely and he's vulnerable, while W's purpose was meant to deaggro and save him.

I never find myself using Meditate unless I'm about to absorb a Karthus or a Caitlyn ult or something. It doesn't even save me from tower dives. It really has niche use right now at best.
