​Rather heavy handed nerfs for a hotfix considering patch was live for 2 days

Athough we don’t have stats coming in from League API or websites such as op.gg yet, these champions must have been quite ahead of the pack.

3 separate nerfs for all 3 champions that impact not only their early game and laning but also late game potential and scalability

Granted, Yi, Gwen and Sivir were some of the big winners of Patch 12.13 and received generous buffs. These updates should keep them in check.

*Update: Looks like Master Yi was at 56% win rate in Gold+ before the hotfix
