Me and my friends on lol basically learn new champions as we get them and we get them when we think they look fun.

[Jeff Wycoff (@EatGamer)]

That's a good time to do it. BTW - Master Yi is a lot of fun right now... we may not have communicated that in the show now that I think about it.

The real issue with Yi isn't that he's OP. It's that he feels OP. One is a failure in balancing. The other is a success in design.

Thornmail dominates yi

While Yi is "better" now, I do believe they could do without the 1:1 ratio on his Q and either lower or get rid of the 40% chance to crit. He's also naturally a little tankier. As someone who plays ADC most of the time, I'll have IE and LW and still not do as much damage to him as I do the tank on their team, kind of ridiculous. The true damage on his E is okay, I would personally lower it a tad, but not much. If they nerfed his Q, they wouldn't actually have to fiddle with the E too much.

You joke about Yi having a 52% win rate, but if there's a Yi on both teams one of them has to lose.
