One of the many things I love in this game, is how Riot can take an old champion, and modernize then so well. Champs like Zilean and Yi are so old and outdated in League, despite being so cool characters in lore, so it is amazing to see how much fresh life Riot is able to breath into champs in this game. Props to devs

[@pwpqwq7648]

To be fair, Yi at least had a model update, and has much better animations than someone like Zilean, obviously not as good as any of the new models we get, but could be worse

[@shai310]

So from what I see here Yi and Lee seems like the best pairing for each other, Lee works really well with spells and the flow mechanic can level him up fairly quickly. Flow also synergises well with almost all of Lee's followers (other than horns of the dragon) which is cool. In terms of which region to combine them with I actually think Noxus has the biggest potential with both of them since it has tools to give both champions more attack and overwhelm (the new equipment and Might). So overall seems like a very cool champion.

[@crazaylazay1943]

Wait yi and the dragonling card feels very broken I mean the attack buff is the same cost as spawning one so you could heal alot of health easily

[@zachcook8279]

My current though is Yi with freljord since you need to keep yi alive for an eventual kill and they have lost of cheap combat tricks to also stack flow

[@doggo2315]

With Yi's huge attack, supercharge and possibly triple deny, I'm scared of Yi + Lee pairing with Shurima ;-; They could also benefit from that new 1 cost shuriman cultist everyone is hyped about... oh boy

Yi Noxus and Yi Demacia will be strongest IMO for Rallies and strikes to level early.
