It really isn’t that good. He just got lucky with the matchup here. If he was fighting something like a sett, malphite, malzahar, or cho as just options I can list off the top of my head he would lose if they knew what they were doing. This would be much worse if he didn’t have yuumi to heal and shield him too. The reason why he would lose is the q damage in arena is insanely low as the full q damage only has 70% ad scaling which means 4 q hits on a single champ does less damage then an auto attack would if you have something like 200 bonus ad. As you saw it takes a while to kill anyone with this build and the reason why ryze, garen, Janna, and varus failed is their cc works badly into this matchup where all the other options I listed would work well. Ryze fails because his cc takes too long to cast same with garen on his q and Janna and varus are too easy to dodge because of the big warning they give. Malzahar is just instant point and click cc which would hard counter this, malphite could time his r and one tap him, and cho and sett could time their abilities to just one tap him as well. This also only works with very specific augments which you won’t get most of the time and as I said before is hard countered by some champs. On hit yi is a lot more powerful as just one or two good augments that are non specific can make it monstrously powerful and you don’t have those same auto lose matchups that this build does while also not requiring the stars to align to make it work.
In very specific situations like this though yes it is unbeatable and kind of dumb. Riot’s solution was just massively nerfing q damage in this mode which completely kills a lot of normal yi builds instead of addressing the problem and preventing this from happening.
i thought about it but it reduces existing cooldown and the other ones reduce so much so i didn’t think it was worth but true it would’ve been funny to have 4 sources of CDR on hit
Mystic punch could have made it better, no?
Edit: nvm this is already instant, should have bought essence reaver for mana
feels like some korean tft video
I'm so happy to have someone using an ultrawide screen like me
It works on league???
bro that's league at 4K? that looks so good
How do you even get so much gold for 2 prismatic items before the last 3 rounds ?
the fact that the only problem of this build is the mana is kinda scary

You cannot fight what you cannot see!
