Wuju Style passive: basic attacks reduce basic abilities cooldowns by 0.5 seconds (Moved from alpha strike 1s cd reduction)

Highlander Passive: 50% total cooldown reduction to basic abilities on champion takedown

People often complain that Master Yi is permanently. I complain that Wuju Style duration is too short. Irelia and Volibear passives last as long as they are fighting. For Yi that's only 5 seconds which for me is not enough for sustain damage fighter like Yi especially on top lane where enemies have more durability. The idea was that Master Yi should land couple of hit before go untargetable again. I already hit enemies at many times to reduce alpha strike cooldown from 18 to 5 seconds, scored a takedown, so why do I still need to continue hitting enemies even more to make the ability fully refreshed?

So with those changes - 0.5 seconds on all cooldowns and 50% total cooldown reduction on takedown will make Yi less untargetable, will make all basic abilities available more often and when master yi scores a takedown assuming your abilities are already low enough they get fully refreshed. Also that might remove the negative AH from alpha strike. Abilities cooldowns can be readjusted to fit this concept better.

But then Alpha Strike applies on-hit 75%+25%+25%+25%?

in other words if wuju style does 100 damage the max damage output is not 400 but 150 when you hit isolated target or 75 if you hit enemy 1 time

These are my thought and I kinda expect people here with some analytical thinking. Would these ideas be good or bad in general. Would it make Master Yi overpowered or is it understandable if Yi is weaker early on to be that strong lategame.

• Alpha Strike phys damgae 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 / 160% AD without flat damage.

So the basic idea is to make crits better and more punishing when build full glass cannon crit with nearly no protection items. For instance if you have 100 AD and you crit you would deal 320 damage so at 400 AD you would deal 1200 phys damage assuming you go full glass cannon with almost 0 protection. Keep in mind that you still deal less damage if you hit someone more than once. I don't know how this would be balanced if you hit someone more than once but its more about 1 hit damage.

• Alpha Strike Onhit damage per hit: 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100%

Additional idea and I don't know if its good but the idea is to make on-hit consistent. Weaker barely noticeable early game and much stronger lategame. Currently is 75%+3x25% for total of 150% onhit damage which I think is like no damage. So the idea is to land 400% on-hit damage if you hit someone 4 times. So with Wuju style that does 100 true damage you would deal 400 true damage with one alpha but you trading the defensive option for offensive damage. Perhaps 100% might be too much it could be like 70% per hit for up to 280% on-hit damage but currently 150% is like nothing considering that the target is isolated.

• Double Strike: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80% AD at level 1/6/11/16/(20 if you are top laner)

The idea is to make double strike weaker early game since its already pretty strong but much stronger late game. Double strike used to deal 100% additional damage every 7^(th) attack. Now its 50% every 4^(th) / 3^(rd) attack. Just I general I think this is pretty weak for lategame scaling. Make it a bit weaker early on. Same on level 6 then it becomes stronger and stronger later levels. Just Yi doesn't feel all that much late game champion and 50% scaling at level 18 feels like it doesn't do much. If you go crit that barely exists lategame.
