Yea I wish they would do something to him, he is fun to play but he is just terrible unless its AP Yi in aram.

Some ideas I've had about Yi:
- Make the passive proc on 6th/5th attack by lv6/13.
- Alpha Strike always procs its bonus damage on the targeted neut/minion (jungle Yi buff)
- Meditate also brings up a Sivir spell shield, but the healing is slightly loaded towards the end (starts medium, ends strong, same total)
- Highlander breaks him out of all CCs on activation, though I'd personally hate split-push Yis even more.

I can definitely see a nerf to her ult's damage. :/ Might go down to 10%/15%/20% and maybe have the shield be based off the damage it did.
She's just a really good roaming assassin. *Any* loner is a guaranteed kill when your DFG and ult are both up. Seeing your HP instantly drop by 50-60% will make you run away, which just means a free kill for Eve. The only games I lost with her so far is a 4v5 plus two matches where a teammate hyperfed a carry. Doesn't matter a lot if you get zoned out in lane as long as you get your DFG and mpen. If you have good teammates who actually ward it becomes a lot easier.

Her ult originally was like, once every 2-3 minutes or something, I thought. You could use it so rarely that you just kind of hung around when it wasn't up. Then they buffed the ult timing.
Unfortunately some guy posted a thread on the Riot forums, so everyone started using AP Eve. The ult was some compensation for her being the only stealth champion with fake stealth now, after like a year of being perhaps one of the 2-3 worst champions in the game. I wonder if she will go back to that tier, or just be nerfed to a semi-viable level.

Can anyone link me to that triple support Kog game?
I think it was Dignitas who did it, something like having so many heals in the team and winning the fight despite massive gold disadvantage.

I did that once when I was 12-0. It ended up being my only death the entire game. It made me extremely sad.
Her remake nerfed her ability numbers almost across the board if I recall correctly -- I think Scarra, one of the most well-known Kat players, commented that her early game became even more awkward. The idea was that the late game worked a bit better since you could melee people with W for extra damage even if they cancel your ult, assuming they don't kill you.
I didn't like the remake Katarina much, but I think the win rate went up so everyone else must have. Then yes, I think they nerfed her after the remake, and if there's another nerf coming up I guess I was right to be cynical when they originally came out with the remake.I wish they would have just left her alone, even if that made her unviable in most situations, rather than ending up in a place in which they keep chipping away at her abilities.
I'm concerned for another nerf if there's one coming, it wouldn't surprise me at all. This may sound strange but I'm not finding a lot of easy counters to her anymore. She may be less damage than before the remake but she makes up for it with speed of execution. Her Q->E->W combo is a lot of harass in the space of a second and the W comes back up so quickly. Her R now dishes all it's damage very quick and since they buffed her passive she's a killing machine. With a decent early game, any enemy with half health needs to be scared.
I love the remake, she's turned into my favorite mid by far.
edit: ewww.. sorry for the double post.

Why's it gotta be Yi :|
After more time with her, she's just in a vastly better place now than she ever was before. Her really early game is a little awkward but her harass combo has such a quick engage/disengage that it makes use of basically any opening. By 4 or 5, she picks up steam and at 8-10+, she dominates her lane and farms tremendously well. Getting a huge cs lead with her is easy. Pushing lanes and roaming is something she just does remarkably well. She just needs to be passive in the first few levels or get some jungle support (and not all-in support, just force them away from lane support).
Her worst matchups are basically limited to champs that point-and-click their damage and like being up close just as much as her (e.g., Kassadin, Diana to an extent). Anything skillshot based is open to be outplayed once they miss.
I want free stuff I don't already have.

Something similar happens to me sometimes. A fight breaks out on another lane so I try to get there quickly but I don't notice I just walked past an enemy who promptly murders me.
Will be probably one of these teams that wins over all too.
I get caught in my own jungle like this because I never expect it.

So I bought two skins yesterday. Here are my thoughts on them
Astro Nautilus: I'm a huge Nautilus fan and although I liked how the other available skins looked I always favored his original skin. In terms of looks that statement still stands true but Astro's walking animation is awesome. It feels a little awkward at first but I feel like it's harder to read where he's moving from the animations(for opponents). The way he turns his body so floatily is what makes it so confusing. It's definitely not game breaking or anything but something interesting I wanted to point out.
NunuBot: This is my new favorite skin in league. His taunts are funny but the stuff he says while moving around is even better. And his laugh..... my god...... it's the funniest laugh in league IMO. It actually makes playing nunu harder because it's so damn troll-worthy that I want to keep spamming it while I play(Laughing stops your movement route so you have to reclick the movement path). Granted I'm never standing still but it adds a few extra clicks as I'm running around.

If you click fast enough, you won't even break your stride.

DFG is the real OP.

Yep.
Low cooldown on an item that can do ridiculous damage with no drawback that is also cheap.
I'd rather have a world with DFG than a world with tanky DPS champions stacking armor/magic resist and/or HP. More anti-tank weaponry please.
You're really hitting me hard with this wombo combo of words.
Screw wombo combo, we can create our own words - like EMPIREEEEEEE
Is this a wombo combo?

I thought a wombo combo was an air juggle between characters.

like that. Or getting knocked up constantly by characters like jarvan and janna.
It's certainly a better use of "wombo combo" then a lux snare-lasering me at half health and going "WOMBO COMBO".

Alienware website got hammered. Clicked, waited, 502 error, keys all gone.
Two more chances lol, and yeah that site went down like a minute after 4pm
Is it still that free Yi sin thing?

Haha that's hilarious. They would have a horrible late game team though if things went badly due to lack of an adc. And you couldn't use that team comp in ranked where blitz and Ali Srebrenica usually banned. But looks like amazing blind pub stomping goodness. If only my league friends were down to attempt such stupid comps. Flare is the only friend I have willing to do crazy shit.
I'm too sour about deciding not to play ranked till I was better.

Reminds me of a TSM scrim where they were playing with a wombo combo of Gragas, Urgot and Janna. Split them with cask, move one guy right into the middle of the team with swap while Janna ults to push all the rest of the enemy away. Hilarious when it worked, and a viable team comp (this was pre Urgot nerfs).
