This is the first guide I saw on yi that helped me out some time ago after a year's pause on lol. I was looking for a quick build to use, I haven't read any of the chapters though(sorry xd). It really helped me out at the time!! Nice work.

Do you think it's important to rush Guinsoo's Rageblade after Blade of the Ruined King? In one game there was a particularly dangerous Vayne in the enemy team so I decided to build some armor like Dead Man's Plate first before Rageblade. It didn't work but I'm not sure if it was entirely my fault or his skill had something to do with it, which is why I'm asking your opinion.

Alright so let's talk about Vayne Any hp you build is negated by her Silver Bolts so what item do we use to counter her? Currently the only way through items is Frozen Heart and Randuin's Omen. Secondly, you can build whatever you feel is needed, generally, Vayne is very difficult to deal with in terms of out playing her as the only way to do so is to dodge her E. Generally, if you fail to do so and aren't very ahead, you'll probably die. Crit Yi deals with vayne the best in my eyes unless guinsoo's is already stacked.

Basically, you can go rageblade second but the way I see it is, why build defensivly if i'm going to die anyway? I may as well at least go 1 for 1 rather than 1 for 0.

I recall some people stating that crit Yi is better against a team full of squishes and perhaps one tank, while a regular on hit Yi build is better against tankier teams. What's your opinion on this? (if you clarified that somewhere in the guide and I missed it, deepest apologies)

If you build lord dominicks, and Blade Of The Ruined King, you'll find you'll kill both tanks and squishies very quickly unless it's a rammus or so. On hit is better to play in jungle because it's easier to snowball, and maintain that snowball, as well as easier to come back from when behind. Crit is better when played in lane.

Did you try this for maximum earlygame impact? According to Lolalytics, this also has the highest Winrate in Diamond

Summoners:
Smite+Ignite

Runes:
Predator, Sudden Impact, Eyeball Collection, Relentless Hunter, Celerity, Scorch

Items:
Boots of Mobility rush, Stalker's Blade - Warrior, Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, Statikk Shiv, Guardian Angle, replace Warrior with Essence Reaver, replace Boots with Ravenous Hydra

I found it very interesting and Yi gains like 20 AD from Celerity at max. Plus Predator procs on your initial Q, means you have a high burst.

I'll give it a whirl in some games I guess, but imo warrior isn't that good and the eye ball collection even if it's fully stacked only grants 18 AD which is pretty much nothing since it's more of a late game rune that doesn't offer much late game.

I'd say a better path is going your blue smite, and going up front critical strike with an infinity edge > pd > shiv, your aim is to snowball, not delay your spikes.

Celerity is pretty strong yeah, but wouldn't ghost be better than ignite? Ignite, sure gives you damage, but having a summoner spell to escape would be better imo. Also ghost gives like 5 AD or so thanks to Celerity.

Well, Warrior gives you the earlier powerspike since you get the AD that B.F. Sword + Pickaxe gives you 600 gold earlier. Plus you will kinda feel a little lack of AD with just IE combined then with 2 no AD items. The transition feels smoother since you actually have something in your hand before you have to build the super expensive IE. Warrior is also way easier to combine than IE.

Well, 18 AD is more damage late than 0 AD, I guess? Ehm, it is actually 20 AD, thanks to Wuju Style.^^

I feel like Ghost doesn't have a huge effect at that point anymore, Ignite would deal more damage and actually adds the healing reduction effect. I should probably also run skirmisher's sabre instead, since it matches up well with Ignite and always outdamages Stalker's Blade while giving also a defense boost.

Hey Autoswitched,

first of all I wanted to mention that this is a great guide - you put a lot of effort in that - I appreciate that! Also it was really nice to read :) Keep up the great work!

Though I got some questions (mostly about the runes and masteries):

1.You mentioned that you shouldn't waste your E as Yi - I'm not sure what to do whilst jungling - should I use my E right before my Double Strike to maximize the true dmg or always when it is up? I've seen both of these - some guys didn't even use their E in the jungle which confused me a lot - could you please tell me why?

2. In another Yi tutorial a guy mentioned that Fervor of Battle was nerfed (I'm quite new to this game so I don't even know the change) and that the stacks aren't that great anymore, so he chose Warlord's Bloodlust - what do you think about those two keystones and when are they best/better?

3.The reason why you chose AS in both quints and marks is that it is best in late game, correct?! I've seen AD in the marks somewhere - that would be better for the early jungle clear and worse in the late game, right? Also some other guy took Lethality in the marks - would that be better or worse in the late game or what would it change on the DPS? (I mean they got a buff just recently I thought)

4.Would you rather play Bloodthirster or Death's Dance - I'm not sure about that. And in which situation or against what kind of champs would you suggest a Ravenous Hydra?

Could you please help me out with this questions?
Thanks! :)

Hello, thanks for the question

1. Basically, use common sense. If you think you're about to be in a fight, save your Wuju Style if you plan on farming, use it. By the time you get to the next camp, it will be up, or at least by the time your next Double Strike on the next camp is up. Maximise damage via activating Wuju Style just before the Double Strike connects as it ensures you get maximum use of it. When you get bloodrazer, it doesn't really matter whether you use it or not, but early jungling try to use it as much as possible.

2. Fervor did get nerfed but that doesn't mean we don't use it, Fervor of Battle is the best mastery to use on Yi, warlords only becomes effective when you have around 20% hp, and dealing more damage is better than sustain, by not taking fervor, your ganks become weaker. The only time it's worth going warlords is when you're in lane as it gives lane sustain. Thunderlord's Decree is also a viable lane mastery, but falls of compared to fervor.

3. Lethality marks is a waste as you don't really need pen, you do plenty damage with e, and other on hits. More hits = more Wuju Style procs and more Double Strike as well as bloodrazer procs. If you choose critical strike Yi, obviously you're AD so Wuju Style deals more damage, and more attacks = more crits. On top of that, if they stack armor Last Whisper has got your back. AS in the jungle is better than flat AD as you're applying the machete passive more as it gives +25 bonus damage on hit, you're getting more double strikes, and you're applying wuju style more. The clear speed is about even if not slightly better with AS marks. The reason you use AD is in lane due to trades being shorter due to minion aggro, towers and other reasons thus dps not really mattering as much, on top of easier csing.

4. I would choose neither to be honest, my life steal items of choice are: Blade of the Ruined King if i'm on hit, and if i'm crit yi, i choose Mercurial Scimitar due to the qss active being a must if you're that squishy, on top of the mr it provides. But if you're just asking which is better, bloodthirster wins by far, sure the q heal is somewhat nice, but if you hit 4000 damage with a 4 hit aoe q crit with death's dance (1000 damage each) Unlikely, but let's say it happened, this = 15% of 4000 = 600, however aoe heals are reduced by 33% so only a 198 heal if you somehow managed to hit 4000 with an alpha, and obviously this will never happen in an actual game. Since alpha strike is your only ability, it's your only source of healing from Death's Dance thus not worth buying over bloodthirster due to it giving an over healing passive which makes you harder to kill, on top of healing 5% more health.
