Many poeple use flash in high elo but even so you should not use it as Yi(in high elo that is, I don't know about the Hell. never been there)
If you said to anyone of the poeple I play with that more health is better then life steal on champs such as master yi they would not even have the capacity to comprehend that you are not joking since it sound like such a troll.
Your guide himself is well done. Just please don't put so much colors. Color are supposse to attract the eye to whats important, too much is annoying. Also meaby change the tittle so that we knew that this guide is ELO HELL intended only. It may attract the attention of poeple who may need it and will save you from the poeple who insta -1 after seeing your items.
As for my vote. I will not -1. If you want my +1 there are a fiew things to do:
1. fixe the colors problem.
2. fixe you pros/cons; Many of your points are actually just 1:
-Amazing single target damage
-Good chaser
-Good escaper
-Very good farmer
-50% defense against magical
-60% defense against physical damage
-4500 health
-40% Slow
-Short CC durations
-Good ganker, from the beginning on
Should simply be
-Amazing single target dmg
-Good chaser
-Good ganker, from beginning on
-Good escaper
-Very good farmer
-More tanky then common Yi
3. give more option and flexibility with your items.
PM me when you/if you have done the changes and want my +1.
This is a very unthoughtful comment.
My first game after writing this comment ended 18/7/25
I will attach the screen, only have to figure out how.
So to your points
0. I start with 800+ life, why would I feed early game? Also I have full defensive tree, and im sure you didnt try this build, typical yi flaming
1. Why would I build wriggles lantern? Other items suit yi better. Also, doing this one, you can continuously gank, earning gold from kills and not just jungling.
2.Learn to count, its very useful.
Boots, PD, IE, warmogs, mallet, atmas
Oracles is when you have all the buffs and cannot spend the gold anywhere else.
3.WTF? Are we playing the same game ? How the heck should i level wuju strike without leveling something else too. And this just proves that you didnt look at the build properly, as i DID max wuju stile es soon as possible
Last point: Bull****, dont take meditate unless there is a karthus, you would just get it for the resistance it provides, not the ridiculously small amount of heal lvl 1 gives.
Overall you just proved how ignorant you are, and that you cannot play yi.
There was a fiew miss understanding :
1. The lantern is a really good item for its stats, but it's the wards that sells it. Map awarness is too important to pass it when you can use it. Think of it this way: everytime you use it's ward this item costed you 75 gold less.
2. Sorry about that dislecty got me there.
3. I was talking about the lv8 point. check your skill order. I meant you should finish wuju as soon as possible.
As for the meditate; sometime some of your team partners suck(or the enemy is really good) and they need to b more then they should having meditate allow you to change your plan to hold the lines. Thats why sometimes I take meditate at lvl 4 even if there is no Kartus. The Heal is bad if you use it in fight but over full time it is enought to hold the line also your simple presence is often enought.
What I mean by saying this was a wanna be Olaf is that you build and seem to play your yi as most poeple play Olaf. The probleme with that is that Olaf's kit of skills is better for said job then yi's. Also Olaf Being alot more high elo capable then yi he is concidered the metagame, seconde only to Nocturne, for the really fast off-tank ad junglers.
As for my comment about ''that what he is supposse to do''. What I meant was Master Yi is one of the best pusher in the game if not the best(along side Sivir) and he is most defenetly the best turret smasher. But as for killing things most poeple know that until very late game master yi doesn't cut it compare to many champs. Also there are soo many counter champs to him its not even funny. That why imo he should be build too amplify that not complate his flaws.
And im sry but you don't go around calling poeple ignorants for commenting on your guide. Also I do play Yi. Not the same way as you obviously. That doesn't mean either of us can go and insult the other. Mobafire is meant for poeple to share ideas, information and concepts. If you actualy believe that you hold the one and only way to do things(and I hope it's just the impretion that I am getting) then that would make you a short sighted fool.
Jungling sucks u dont get enough gold, and besides, I think your build requires too much farming. If the enemy doesnt feed you and you have a hard time doing so, you will FAIL HARD with this build. Phantom Dancer is not a good item for Yi. Ghost Blade is much better, because of the burst damage in seconds. Phantom Dancer is just toooooo medicore. when Yi vs Yi, Ghost Blade will always win. And you will have a time where you are lack of damage when you are trying to build warmog and right after u built it. Infinity edge is a BIG *** ITEM that costs 3800 bucks. and it probably takes you 30 minute into the game to have it. And you are squish as ****.
Jungling is bad? YOU ALWAYS NEED A JUNGLER IN THE TEAM. dude jungling is a small step back for the jungler but such a bonus too the team.
Jungling sucks... And you will have a time where you are lack of damage when you are trying to build warmog ...And you are squish as ****.
Obviously you didnt try the build.
that is what Yi is suppose to do and you should build him in a way that helps that not in a way that helps him do something else. There is a champ called
I didnt make this to help yi do "something else" (I dont even know what you mean), I made this to win the match with the team using yi.

WHAT THE ****!!
It is really funny you say that this is not for high elo. because you see
The number one reason for that is that master yi helps his team the most by simply NOT being there. Wait did that sound wierd? what I mean is that he should never ever be in team fights (at least at the start)for a simple reason : he will feed.
That is unless you build him the way you do BUT then the thing is that you are not playing
And even at that your build has many mistakes.
1. Were is that
2. Why in hell would you not have a 6th item?????? Your not a support. Not the one that should have oracle's.
3. level either alpha strike or wuju style first not both at the same time.
Also having 1 point by level 5 can really save your *** or help you stay longer in the field with out the need to b. But this last part (about meditate) is fully to your discretion it is not a mistake: it a matter of play still.
Thanks for reading!
