Your guide is a bit hard to read. I personally don't like AP Yi, but at least it's not mana Vayne or mana Tryndamere (which doesn't work at all). The opponent team usually has a large amount of stuns and knocks when I play, so Meditate is usually a non-factor. It's great against Karthus. Personally feel that you're too squishy with this build (assume your Meditate doesn't work right, and besides it's 20+s cooldown).

Also, in current meta-game with jungler, you do not want to push your lane, which your Alpha Strike will do.

Just finished a game with this build. I think AP yi is pretty fun, but i do feel like a one trick pony while playing. One thing that is nice is the pushing power of yi is still there. I was able to take out about 2 different towers before the enemy team could stop me. and I had an epic Meditate save. I hit alpha strike on zilean who ran into the bushes that hid an entire team. poped my ult and ran with about 50 hp and ignite on me i used meditate and barely pulled through it :p

Great man, once again you did a good build. It's funnier to play this way with Master Yi and its even better in late game.

Good build +1

Thanks for the critism and voting! Could you explain why my guide is hard to read and maybe I can improve it :P!

I personally just played AD Jungle Yi and Offtank Yi, but with this build yi gets a serious AP Carry and a pseudo tank (thanks to mediate :D ).Nice work

Need to mention Banshee's veil
MR helps against getting insta-gibbed by AP carries that, and shield helps meditate(anti-cc)
early-mid game hp/mana and regen from catalyst helps as well.
Also, in your lich bane to other spells comparison, you assume lich bane only procs once, this is not the case as yi has four skills: and while meditate shouldn't really be used to proc lich bane, wuju style and highlander could be used, making the avg procs of lich bane 2-3 times. You also neglect to mention the MR and ms lich bane gives.

I'm sorry but there is so much wrong in your comment...

First, I wrote in my guide 'consider adaption your build to the enemy team' just in case there would be any comments like yours. If the enemy team has alot of CC, you might wanna get Banshee's veil instead of maybe, Zhonya's Hourglass.

Secondly, I am working on a build containing a catalyst...it's just not out yet.

Thirdly, I did mention the MR and movespeed from Lich Bane, just learn to read.

Lastly, in my maths section I calculated the INSTANT BURST damage you get. That means the damage you can do in 1 second. Not the damage you can get from Lich Bane in 5 seconds. Oh, and I DID mention that you could use Wuju Style to proc Lich Bane, just learn to read, once again. Now can you tell which Master Yi guide is yours so I can downvote it without any good reason too?
