Like the title says why do people hate jungle yi so much. im not talking about ranked but just plain old normal games. And its not if he jungles slow i can easily keep up with bot and sometimes with top lane. They always ***** about his ganking which yes isnt the best but it frees up exp and gold. Just dont understand why people hate him theirs more to jungling then ganking imo..../endrant

There's nothing wrong with his jungle. If you look at high elo streams that's pretty much the ONLY way Yi is played. He is a superb ganker, alpha strike->proc red->GG.

Wickd, one of the best Yi's jungles with Master Yi... some noobs will rage that Yi shouldnt jungle, but they have very little to low logic. Yi is a weak laner due to his squishiness, and jungling will help him get steady exp and gold. He also has great ganking skills and escape mechanisms.

I'd like to see a Jungle AP Yi. AP Yi is amazingly underrated in my opinion.

/On topic
Most people I see having an issue with him don't have runes and masteries set properly and have to rely too heavily on Alpha Strike's RNG (not that you aren't already, but it really does speed things up).

AP Yi is not underrated.. It's almost like building AP trynda.. (that bad)

Yi is a good jungler. Maybe Stonewall008 has some video on Yi?

For me, AP Yi is like AP Alistar and AP Ashe.

Life of an AP Yi:

Yi: "Alright boys, lets do this! LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JENKIIIIIIINS!"

-Charges in and uses Q-

*Enemy now focuses on Yi*

Ashe (ally):"HAHAHAH ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN!!"

*Yi uses meditate*

Yi: "HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH YOU CANT TOUCH MEHHH??!!!"

-Enemy stuns Yi-

Yi: "****."


"AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAIN!"

"ENEMY DOUBLE KILL!"

"ENEMY TRIPPLEEE KILL!"

"AN ENEMY IS LEGENDARY"

"ACE"

Around mid ELO, AP Yi works out pretty well to be honest.
There's actually a streamer NoX Taelis who plays AP Yi in mid ELO, He's pretty good and carries pretty hard usually.
