Yi is the best DPS on the game. its a mathematical fact.
his skills are tuned up to boost his melee attacks to a god-of-war level.


as Yi is a full of potential character, he needs to focus on his top strenghts, and forget the other stats. That mean focusing on attack speed, Critical chance and movement speed items, basically.

Surviving with Yi requieres lifesteal. Armor and flat HP just delays his main job: slashing oponents in the smallest time possible.

Pros:

-endgame lord
-minion industrial Farmer machine
-he looks like a sexy beast
-Fast moving speed. ideal for chasing or GTFO ( get used to Run for your life )
-Cut thru enemys like a knife cuts butter.
-almost inmortal, once second Bloodthirster is built.
-instant WIN if round reach minute 30-40.

Cons:

-early game squishy as hell.
-Playing with yi requires a lot of patience, and knowing when to retreat.
-enemys tends to demoralize on a doped-up Yi ending rounds quick and without much fun :(
-when they dont, they focus you on sight.
