Thank you for your interest!

Heaps good man, you're doing a great job as part of the news force

[Boombox]

Good shit, I'll have to see if Yi is still good or not.

Thanks!

Yi is definitely up there.
His snowball potential is huge.

[Bernard]

Well doesn't this look time consuming lol.

Haha I did it last night while waiting for the WildStar stress test to start (5PM PDT = 2AM GMT+1) :P
Took me about an hour, maybe one and a half, was fun though.

[Abraham]

Anyone besides me support team coast?

[Implify]

Yi being my main just means I can't play him in ranked anymore. Every kid bans him

I personally am a TSM fan since they formed but Coast might have a chance in the summer playoffs, we'll see

He is actually getting changed again with patch 3.11, Morello responded to thread about Yi, they are going to tone him down to make him less snowbally/carry early in games.

Won't do anything. As long as I get first blood or an early kill, I'm gonna reach level 18 before anyone hits 14.

Well it might be no problem/change for you with Yi as your main but for people who just play him because they think he is OP it will be harder.
Just as it should be.

That's why everyone bans him. They think if the enemy has him, they win, just like with amumu, blitzcrank, and malphite and such.

[Astro.]

I swear whoever thought completely nerfing AP Yi (which now is almost impossible to play due to it's scaling and reducing it's damage while building AP) and changing it to an AD Yi would be better is an idiot. The new Yi is way stronger, all you have to do is build shiv with crit hit and it's almost impossible to 1v1 him with any champion I know. Hope they nerf him a tad more so he doesn't start off with too much AD..
