Master Yi Build Guide by Palthios

So much time went in to this it would be impossible to downvote it or criticise it! Awesome build with a huge amount of detail. My only reluctance to vote comes from not wanting you to go past the 20 vote mark again! I haven't played Yi in a while, but now I'm going to, you have renewed my sense of love for Yi. Cheers!

Hi sir Palth. I do like your guide with Yi. And it is very Effective not just in Back dooring but also when making ganks and clashes. And also when doing 1 v 1 with other champs. Great Guide and very unique among other Yi guides. +1 ^_^

a little different then how I build a tanky Yi but this also brings out his damage effectively though his attack speed. upvoted

1. Yi is not the fastest jungler.
2. Don't wanna sound like a MASTER YI ES NUMERO UNO CARRY AJAJAJA nub but, he should be built almost pure offensively. (With items like QSS and Mallet)
3. lolsurge. Ghost/Flash>Surge any day. It's so bad.
4. Max E first. You CANNOT rely on luck to jungle.
5. You HAVE to use your Q to gank. You have no CC, or gap closer. They're just gonna walk out of the gank.
6. You should focus Ashe first. Not Annie. Annie has good initiation burst yes, but, once that's gone, she can hit Q. And that's it. Focus Ashe who has constant, high, dps.

There is so much false information I can't upvote it. -1

Everything that youve said has been sufficently proven wrong in my guide. Theres more then enough video proof. You just dont want to believe that this way of master yi can work. Thats fine. Dont give a **** if you do. I made this guide for people that are willing to try it out.

As for Annie vs Ashe... Who would you rather target? The person that rapes one target at a time, or the person that rapes a whole team? Theres a reason that mages go mid. Its the safest place for the highest value target to be. On a team where theres only one AP threat, the mage is the highest value target.

The funny thing is, she doesn't rape one target at a time, she rapes ONE target. She's a burst mage, and once that burst is gone, she's next to useless. Any half decent player would tell you, focus the AD Carry. Having a video is not proof. You could be playing against a bunch of idiots for all I know. Q jungle is luck based. Nuff said. It's like building pure glass cannon and relying on pre dodge removal ninja tabi. It's not consistent. And mid is not the safest place. Bot is. With a support. :)

Have you ever played Annie? Shes not a mage like Gragas that only has one chance to land her DPS. Her cooldowns are among the shortest in the game for a mage. And she doesnt need to get fed to do a lot of damage. Ranged carries do. Especially Ashe who is weaker then most ranged carries because of her utility. And thats the thing. Shes a utility carry. Shes there for her slows and her stun. Its her job to kite you. And thats exactly what a good Ashe will do. Kite you around, do little damage (until late game), while Annie (the burst damage mage with no escapability), nukes down your whole team. And that was the whole point of that section. To show you how to pick a focus based on damage, mobility and durability.

My focus list does not apply to every team comp. The mage should not ALWAYS be the main focus. But in this case, Annie is. Shes the only AP threat and shes a big threat with no mobility. If you actually took the time to look at the team comp, you might realize that shes the only champion on that list with no mobility or kite ability. But its not like you actually read my guide. You just skimmed through it. The comment you left on my Garen guide is proof of that. "Why would you build an on hit item when you focus on Garen's spin?"... If you actually read my guide, you would know how dumb that question is.

But you havent read either. You just looked at the title of my Garen guide and assumed. Youre just like every Know It All troll that downvotes guides because they dont like the build. Because you think its not the right way. And thats why your opinion will never be respected here. Go back under the bridge and get your meal somewhere else. Youre a prime example of why professional players stopped making guides here. Players like yourself with under 300 wins thinking they know better then everyone else.

They never made guides here in the first place. lol. And a build is a good part of a guide. And there's thi thing called FARMING! It's crazy. An that's exactly what AD Carries do. They sit bot with their support and last hit. Yi should clean-up. Not sit in the middle of the fight. So this makes cleaning up useless. Yi should be able to rip apart the AD Carry. This build can't. It's like building AD on Annie. Cool. It works. But it's outclassed. Why build this when you have Shyvana? Maybe try this build on Garen. It might work better. Just because I don't have a huge amount of wins, means I don't have a general knowledge of the game. Someoeb with a good general knowledge of the game doesnt build boots of swiftness on Garen and say that tank Garen sucks. There's this thing called base stats. Master Yi had the base stats of a Meele squishy or a clean-up. Not an Off-tank. Garen doesn't have the base stats of a carry. It's just my opinion. Good luck with all the people who blindly up vote so they get rep. Next time someone gives you some constructive criticism, try not to burst a gasket. Good day sir.

Again, this shows how much you know. The CLG crew used to make guides here until players like you would go into their guides and tell them how they should play the game. Their guides are expired but still available to look at.

Second, no one is blindly upvoting this. You blindly downvoted based on what you think you know about Yi. You keep talking about what this build should be capable of and it actually IS capable of everything your saying it should be. But you wouldnt know that.

Lastly, constructive criticism goes out the window when you immediately downvote someone's guide without even trying it out. You can sit there and say that you have if you want to, but I know thats not the case just by reading your comments. You sound like someone that calls themselves a Star Trek expert because they once saw a show where an old bald white guy was caption of a space ship.

Good luck to you in whatever it is that you plan on accomplishing on this site.
