In this YouTube commentary, Perry Norman evaluates the League of Legends champion Master Yi, emphasizing that while Yi can reach A or S‑tier performance, his high damage output is offset by extreme fragility. Perry warns that low‑elo players who cannot consistently dodge crowd‑control (CC) abilities, correctly time Yi’s Q (Alpha Strike), and build the champion appropriately will suffer frequent deaths and poor results. He argues that Master Yi demands intentional play and strong threat awareness; without these, he is not a viable pick for lower‑ranked games.

The next champion here we have is Master freaking Yi. Pretty strong champion, but he is not very forgiving of a champion. If you walk in, get yourself killed, or get hit by CC— if the enemy team has CC and you don't know how to play around it, you're pretty fucked on this champion. If you're really aware of threats and you know how to dodge everything, you know how to use your Q properly, and you're properly building as well, Master Yi could be an A or S tier champion. But if you're not really being very intentional with Master Yi, then honestly speaking, I wouldn't play this champion.
