Views: 929 My Champion This Week Is!....

Report
Hey guys!
I took a really long break from blogging and I am glad to come back and post my thoughts! I just want to take this time to talk about the champions I'm using and why I am using them.
I would like to do a weekly blog where I talk about the champion I am currently playing most of, seeing as it changes weekly. I am not going to be like those other bloggers who claim to do a "weekly" blog and only post once. I will, however, not promise to get the blog out each and every week on-the-dot. Seeing as I may not have the "Literary Juices" to crank out another post that week, it might be delayed.
Without further delay...
Let's start with
I have always had this weird on-and-off relationship with Yi. When I first began playing LoL I played a lot of Yi, but in a weird way. I used to start off with an Amplifying Tome and one potion. This was either totally ******ed or a stroke of genius. I would quickly build that Tome into a Hextech Revolver. Then a Hextech Gunblade. But keep in mind this was a LONG time ago, pre spell vamp/revolver nerf. This system worked so well for me in the past, but has definitely lost it's "umph". I would max "Alpha Strike" immediately and never use "Meditate" or my "Wuju Style".
I took a REALLY long break from Yi and just came back a couple of days ago. Ohhh was that fun. I decided to try different custom Yi builds throughout the night and come up with what I think is best. Funny enough, I have never looked at an actual MobaFire Build for Yi, so I was going blind. (I still have not looked at one.) I came up with this.
Grab Alpha Strike, then Wuju Style x2, then Meditate at level 4. Max Wuju style immediately, followed by Alpha strike, then Meditate.
I get Wuju Style maxed first because the way I build Yi early game requires decent AD (Attack Damage) early game. I max Alpha Strike next for the craaaaazy damage mid-game. I grab Meditate at level 4 because its really nice to have in case of a necessary heal.
Start with Boots and ONLY HEALTH POTIONS! The biggest mistake I have seen Yi players make is taking Mana Pots. Just learn Mana Conservation. Grab a dagger and build straight to Beserker's Greaves. Get a Phantom Dancer ASAP. (As Soon As Possible) Then build a Blood Thirster, Infinity Edge, Grab either another Blood Thirster or Phantom Dancer depending on the team-comp and then maybe a defensive item. HOLD ON NOW! If the enemy team is getting armor, a Black Cleaver is an awesome option instead of a second Blood Thirster or Phantom Dancer. I usually get a Guardian Angel for the awesome Armor and Magic Resist, but its up to you. I get a defensive item because seeing as Master Yi is melee and a DPS, he has to take a beating ON TOP of deal damage, and sometimes, life steal just isn't enough. A Frozen Hammer is an AWESOME CHOICE if you are finding yourself having to chase down a lot of people. (Usually "Highlander" [Yi's Ultimate] takes care of that though.)

Master Yi!

Skill Sequence!
Grab Alpha Strike, then Wuju Style x2, then Meditate at level 4. Max Wuju style immediately, followed by Alpha strike, then Meditate.

Items!

Unless you mean AP Yi, which is a bit different. AP Meditate is better, but still doesn't give you an easy lane.
