Balanced and well-designed, not so much, but polished and fun. And when you're fucking around in a blatantly casual moba (or ccg or arpg), that's more than enough. Competitive games get this bizarre 'it's me or them' mindset; I don't get it. | ||

Don't forget he's an auto attack centric champion who's ult renders him immune to AS slows in addition to normal ones. | ||

He's like a shitty version of Riven that doesn't require mechanics | ||

That's actually pretty important. Not sure why I forgot about it. Anyway, my biggest problem with Yi is that he does persistent damage and a small burst via Q. It's very different from Katarina where she has small burst but nothing else. Also, due to the way Yi builds (BotRK), he actually has some sustain as well. The end effect seems to be that Yi can reset in teamfights AND duel most other champions 1 on 1 due to his awesome set of tools. Comparably, Katarina can reset much better, but her niche is somewhat restricted to playing cleanup and can't really do anything else. In Katarina's case, a good way to counter her is simply building more defense. Against Yi it's not that simple since he has sustain, true damage, current % shred (BotRK), and does persistent damage. | ||

I don't even think it's inflammatory to say this either. HotS is too new to be comparable to League or dota as those games are now. That said I actively dislike major changes before each Worlds, it can reward people who play one style really well that isn't or hasn't been typical for a majority of the season. I know Juggernauts are popular now but jamming them down our throats seems so ham-handed for a company that loves to listen and react to community feedback. | ||

Ignoring that is totally well within your rights. I don't even think it's inflammatory to say this either. HotS is too new to be comparable to League or dota as those games are now. Bolded that which has no evidence. HOTS strategies even at shit ranks are much more interesting and varied than LOL (even for pros), DOTA is a crazy beast though, I'd say its only slightly less varied, but possibly more interesting. Italicized that which is true, as some champions in HOTS have crazy winrates. Like stiches, that guy sucks. | ||
