I'm genuinely curious since I started at S11, what made AP Yi so broken back then? Like what part of his kit made him very turbo-steamroller?

[@Ryscu]

I wouldn't call him broken, he was just interesting in the sense that he was a very one trick pony champ - he only had one ability that did damage so he was actually pretty useless, but if you got into a position where the enemy team was low enough for you to get one or two Q resets he could easily wipe the whole team

[@maxamuslongoria7544]

First of all, he had a 100% ap ratio on his q, and he also had a 100% ap ratio on his w. So if you had q on cd, then you could theoretically use w, and you wouldn't die. Once q came back off cd just q more, and you win. Ez

[@lordgrimm04]

can one shot you with Q and tank alone with his W.

[@chaptermastermoloc4171]

his Q and W scales with AP back then. Not broken but can be annoying because you can't burst him and with his W damage reduction, he would just face tank everything with his W specially when he has Rabaddon.

[@plasmodius9449]

obviously, if he built ap, then the ap ratios on his abilities were broken, that's it

[@gabsavvidis6769]

Back then this was called broken . Nowadays every single new champ has the ability to do that ... How League has changed

Oh man, that Sykkuno gameplay really takes me back to S2 when I used to climb out of the real depths of elo hell with AP yi into silver and eventually gold. I still remember that even getting out of bronze was an achievement because there were many players below 1200 MMR all the way down to 0 MMR, and I even went all the way down to like 600 MMR at one point lmao

[@tony854]

becoming bronze back then is the equivalent of getting into gold today in terms of grind haha, the highest tier was Plat!

How could I forget? The nostalgia though. Had me crying. I remember these were the early days of LoL. One of the best days. First time I played online was with this game, and I got addicted. Of course I played AP Yi a lot. I remember getting a quadra and a penta. Memories...

[@plasmaastronaut]

everyone here says why he was broken, but he never got on the ban lists seasons 1-4 like malph, shen, amumu, kassadin. He did have many counters, basically any champ with good lane sustain and instant dodge such as vlad. As an AP yi mid player i experienced that much any top laner would match or beat him since they typically had better lane sustain than burst ap mids. Also the laning phase wasn't always good. It wasn't possible to kill all 6 minions with one Q, many had to be last-hit melee attacked which meant walking into attack range of your opponent and risk of being ganked. AP yi had no escapes since he could only ability flash forward into minions. Nukers with CC also beat AP yi, a good mid laner would counter yi by saving stun for when u tried to W heal. many gave Yi a hard time in laning phase Annie, Malz, Ori, Talon. Kata was an interesting matchup because she had no defense to yi, yet she was such a nuker she'd often just absorb all the damage but then go gank and kill before yi and just get ahead and win the game. Players today don't know how unsustained mid laners were back in season 1-3. U had health pots and that was it, if u got low, u just had to risk-lane with low hp for many waves. When that sustain heal+man pot came out season3-4, that was a big hit to AP Yi. Thing is Yi did hard counter many AP mids at team select. Several mid laners without hard cc or sustain or escape was doomed against yi. Karthus was easy to lane against. Team fights weren't so easy either. A good enemy team would know to stay spaced out, and also not to loiter behind a wave of minions since yi could Q the first minion and deal damage to champions way behind the minion wave. If u alpha striked onto an enemy team too early, u were dead. This ' stay spaced out' tactic was well known and practiced because there were many champs that were good at attacking grouped enemies. Team fights in the jungle or at baron and drake were good strategies against ap yi. Ppl aren't mentioning yi was a good lane ganker, particully pre lvl 6. He could consistantly arrive at gank with 100% HP, gank very fast with his R (enemies very rarely were able to retreat in time), and gurantee damage with his Q and then hack with his E. He could get back to lane and easily last hit minions with E under his tower before the tower ate them. Great days; but riot made it their long term policy to kill any fun player might have with fave champions.
