Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

In the last few updates, the meta in League of Legends has been shaken up a bit. The focus was primarily on damage, healing and defense, which were either strengthened or weakened. Master Yi, a champion hated by many, suffered from the changes. But that is exactly what should be significantly strengthened with the upcoming patch 12.13.

What is Master Yi’s situation?

  • In almost every poll, Master Yi is among the top 10 most hated champions in LoL. This is because a good Yi can deal a lot of damage and, most importantly, evade many enemy attacks. The healing from his “W” also makes team fights under the enemy tower much easier.
  • However, recent updates have not been kind to him. Enemies have had more defensive power while healing has been weakened across the board. This hits Master Yi hard. With patch 12.11, his base stats were also weakened and the true damage from the “E” was reduced.
  • You can even clearly see the drop in the win rate. With patch 12.9, Master Yi still won 51.01% of his matches ranked from iron upwards, the rate has dropped to 49.49% in patch 12.12 (via MetaScr).

    • But with the upcoming patch 12.13, Master Yi could become a real monster again. Because Riot Games is planning buffs for the champion.

    The Star Guardian Event is currently running in LoL. In the trailer you will learn everything important:

    Greater attack range and more frequent healing

    What changes? With the upcoming update, Master Yi’s attack range will be significantly increased. Previously he could hit enemies at a range of 125, this will now be 175.

    The biggest change, however, concerns his Meditate (W) ability:

  • The costs are changed. Instead of 50 mana, you now pay 40 mana + 6% of max mana per second (max 4 seconds).
  • In return, the recharge time is reduced from 28 to 9 seconds.
  • The ability also grants 60% tenacity (immunity to CC) for the first 0.5 seconds.

    • The changes to Master Yi are already playable on the test server.

    When will the changes appear? Patch 12.13 is expected to be released on July 13th. However, adjustments can still be made before the update appears.

    Fans fear strong Yi of low-Elo

    How are the changes received? Mixed. Many agree that Master Yi needs a buff as his winrate is below 47% in Platinum or higher. In the high Elo he is almost useless.

    But the changes to the “W” make some worry. The champion could use it to dominate inexperienced and weak players in the lower ratings, as the new champion Bel’Veth is currently doing. Tower dives in particular should become more and more possible.

    What else does the update bring? The new champion Nilah is expected to appear with patch 12.13. This AD carry relies on a whip, dashes, and extra experience points for a last hit. That makes Nilah extremely dangerous.

    Also, a new game mode – Ultimate Spellbook – will be tested, the mid-scope update for Sivir will be released, and the item Divine Sunderer will get an overhaul.
