ooo yay
is he a tank?
He's a physical character that can be built DPS or AD. I'm guessing his HP values and his defense values are in the mid-range, since he's not that easy to kill compared to a squishy, but it's easier to kill him than a tank.
His stun is really annoying for harassing, and his Passive can block harasses early game as well. His ultimate can be dodged if you mis-aim, then you can all just screw his butt if their enemy team was losing and he comes to assist since he'll be right in front of everyone, in range for all the nasty spells and CC's.
@Lorg: I heard by the Level 30 ranges, it's hard to see Yis since runes and masteries have such a big effect that any Champion sufficiently matched with them will dominate over Yi, since he doesn't get great boosts out of them. Not to mention his abilities require positioning, and most players by that level know to counter him, so he's never played then. New players just fall for it easily, and he's a 450 IP champ for a reason. Oh, and he had 3 Phantom Dancers. Nuff' said.
