Yes, the comment on casters was about the "naming"
"The AP Carries:" so i wrote a little clarification on naming them "assasins" and claryfying why they are named that way "They specialize on killing enemy champions".

than i wrote my statement about what i consider a true carry and his role.
(this part had no connection with your comment tbh.)

And ended with question how does he think of a carry.

If you felt offended or anything sry than. I write alot of stuff so sometimes it's hard to understand my flow of thinkin (if i can call it that way).

And yes i write alot and read alot, also your comments Ala :)

"These generally just fail at carrying the whole team, mainly because they are not meant to. But if the team can back them up they can easily kill anyone within their grasp. The main problem is that Casters can't win the game unless they are INCREDIBLY FED! I'm saying they are inefficient in comparrison to physical champions to win game since they can't destroy structures very well."

Well did you read that?

Veigar, ryze annie and so on are not considered as carry.

They are considered an assasin as far as i know. They specialize on killing enemy champions giving others chance to kill towers when they are dead.

In my eyes a carry is a champion that can kill creep waves without problems and with superb speed, also and most important effectivly destroying towers.

Depends how does he think about "carry" :)

depends on what you want to play. Ranged or melee.
Easiest way... rightclick ahse, but playing that char is just boooooring...
Heavy carry when you like tanking champs? imho try Jax...

Tbh Alagric... i am afraid of ruining other ppl game while trying to make Yi AP based. I just cant see any good point in it tbh... as i said you can try it on practice and i think i will just stick to that...

Sunfire Eve has that WTF lol part, playing AP Yi... hmmm...

"1. You lose a great deal of farming potential"
Hmmmmm... what about that "chance to deal 400 bonus magic damage to minions." part? :>

Well i am glad this had so much comments, and constructive talk tho :)

Alahric (30) | June 1, 2010 5:28am
Have you forgotten the 20-30-40-50-60% chance to hit 400 magic damage, and that you have a max number of 4 targets? That applies to the physical Yi aswell, so why improve it with AP? Also, you know AP Yi's don't Crit (or Madred's Razor) every minion to death with 1 or 2 hits.

So... you lose a great deal of farming potential imo.

Wow AP yi. I can Alpha strike you. Its so terrifying yi with 500 aoe damage.
1
DEWO (498) | June 1, 2010 1:40am
575AP MAX (with 20 stacks of soulstealer - witch will be impossible with this build) so i took 500AP more or less 10 stacks.

Squall (3) | June 1, 2010 1:01am
@ DEWO:
I think you can reach more than 500 AP, so Alpha Strike + Lich Bane would deal a little bit more damage... Just by the way

THOUGH i agree with DEWO, Dps is better^^
Better Damage, Lifesteal (Bloodthirster), etc.

@ Wicked

Hmmm Try these Items on Evelynn^^

DEWO (498) | June 1, 2010 12:17am
Well not nessesary "can help teams out almost as good as AD Yi".
Lets count that you have 500AP and you alpha strike the whole team:
300+500=800 damage to 4 targets (if there are no mobs around ofc. and if we dont count the Magic resist)
I'll give you an example of AD with all items.
450AD+109 Base AD = 559 damage + 150% (crit with infinity) = 1397 damage. (you have Tiamat by that time also so you deal nearly 1400 crits to everyone that is close (and we count that they are close just like with alpha strike right?)
hmmm 1400 crits 2 times per sec. (also not counting armor just like magic res).

In my opinion its not even close. :) well... i would try it but ONLY on practice game, never on normal game. Its just making your team go 4v5 :)

and srsly tank runes? on Yi? one of the most squishy chars ingame?

Also about runes you use on this build. CDR? on Yi? when he resets all cd's with ulti? useless. Get idk... yellow dodge, blue ap/lvl?

Wicked702 | June 1, 2010 2:33am
Tiamat has a different type of range, but i understand what you are saying. AS if you notice when you cast it kinda teleports to targets. Tiamat hits close area around target you are hitting.

I play yi AD and AP. just depends on the team. If they have squishy champs who dont have high base HP,armor,MR then i go AP cause it works really well with no problems.

Still you guys are not understanding what this post is about. I asked for constructive feedback about the build. Not negative things. I wanted to see if any AP yi players out there had some tips or even liked the build i use.

Alahric (30) | June 1, 2010 2:47am
According to the Theory this is lame, you'd be better of physical. I mean take another champion if you want to go AP. If you are experienced you could own with it, but not as much as with the physical.

Why shouldn't I do AP?
"even tho it's obvious"?
1. You lose a great deal of farming potential
2. You will not be a great turret destroyer
3. You will not be able to DPS like crazy

These are things that make Master Yi so good to have in your team, he destroys turrets like "Whoosh!" and kills enemies even faster. His abilities to farm makes him able to get the gold needed for his items and he is in fact a great jungler too. AP Yi does not value these things, he only has healing tank ability that's like applying CC yourself, a fairly weak overall nuke, and after that he is kind of useless.

That's why you get negative feedback, but your thumb rules should be the three sentences every Yi player have to know:

1.Be careful early game and stay in lane for as long as possible.
2.Don't die.
3.Don't be greedy.

That's basically the main thing about Yi, I play by these rules too.

I just came here coz i wanted to give a negative feedback... just for the title...

It's not DotA! It's not Juggernaut that can hit same target with omnislash!

The meditate is insane... but ffs... we have tanks champs for that, 1 ignite or Executioner debuff and you are raped anyway.

95% of your damage is physical anyway.

and as you said: "I know everyone thinks its worthless and stupid" i totaly agree with this point.
Its not even fun, especialy for your team tbh... FUN is for example sunfire eve. I dont see the fun in standing and healing with meditate when ppl are whacking me.

This might work on lvls 1-5

DEWO thanks for the feedback. I did not say you should use this as his only build. i said if you want to try something different. Phys DPS Yi is more reliable, but AP Yi has a different style of play and can help teams out almost as good as AD Yi.

Say there is a team battle and your tank runs in and all the AoE's start you can also AoE. 500-700 Magic Dmg to every enemy champ. Also coming patch his AS casts much faster. So its really good for team fights. Where as AD yi can cast that and only do 200 dmg.

Anyways thanks. i read all your guides :) and i look forward to playing with you sometime.
