K6 Rengar Graves Camille are all honorable mentions, they were and are arguably contenders but either their times were short lived or not as dominant as ones on the list, me thinks. vote away.

How are you defining strongest here?

We over did it a bit with his buffs. He is a bit oppressive at all elos and we have some nerfs planned. I'm interested to hear more about what you mean by "it's a pity to spend a ban on him" could you elaborate for me?

he doesn't feel all that almighty. It can be easily cooled. But at the same time, he is the most frequent comeback maker. If we take as an example Akali or Katarina, who are also often banned, then you need to understand that not every player can cope with this champion, but if he does, then this is a very high chance of winning. And master yi is a champion who does not require a lot of ingenuity, just looking for luck, and spending a ban against "I'm lucky / not lucky" is somehow not professional)))

Luck is an interesting thing to throw in here, there is some element of luck with any champion, and the game being 5v5. He is a hyper-carry and making a comeback is part of that. Akali/Kat are a bit more snowbally than they are champions with huge comeback potential, though assassins tend to have a bit built in.

A big issue here is that Yi does a great job at "countering" team comps filled with carries/high damage. Carries tend to be very popular, so he is good at countering this behavior. However Yi's strength dramatically fall off if you have 1-2 tanks/forms of lockdown. Many players tend to drastically undervalue tanks, especially outside of the support position, but if you see a Yi, make sure you have a tank and it shouldn't be too big of a problem.

I would rather be banning a counter pick or akali .. like.. c'mon no one imagined they'd have to spend an entire patch banning yi of all champions

He isn't so strong that you should feel you MUST ban him, he is on the stronger side for sure. But Yi is still beatable if you account for him. He'll beat a team of carries for sure, but banning tends to be a better indicator of player frustration than champion power (though there is obviously some relation between the two).

pretty much based on how much complaints said champ gets in this sub.

Oh, ok. I wouldn't call that strongest, so much as frustrating.

Based on most Reddit complaints I've seen then I think I'd have to say Lee Sin, Eve, or most recently Master Yi.
