Hi! I tried your build and it was... like... faceroll, you know? :) It is another effective and fun way of building Master Yi, very nice work! +vote, of course. And btw, your Q&A video is excellent.

Yeah I did. When I made my Garen guide I tried to fill it with as much general information as I could so I could recycle it into my future guides. I had to edit that section to make sure it applied to Yi, but it saved me some work. Writing a proper guide completely from scratch when you work 50 hours a week, and have other responsibilities on top of that, isn't very practical.

Master Yi is my new go-to jungler because of this build.
Focusing me?
DON'T GIVE A **** *pentakill*

My best game was when I was in a premade 5 a few days ago. I got first blood+double kill, but the enemy mid got super fed. Me, Master Yi, 3 levels under this guy and at half HP, killed their mid (at full hp) without even using Surge.

Only went 7-3, but it was pretty epic.

1) Oh, I never noticed @_@.

2) I've seen your videos (which are awesome by the way), but I don't know what all the skins look like! So, I didn't know which one you were using in the videos :P


I'm having some problems. Might be because I'm solo Q'ing and everybody is terrible. (I had a fiddle who wanted to jungle without smite ...)

I'm finding that I have 2 problems:

1) I get lanes with no CC (I'm talking stuff like Mordekaiser top)

2) I have lanes with no damage (For example Vlad mid, he does okay damage, but not enough burst to help in ganks)

What should I do? Usually in both of those situations, I feel like I can't pull any damage off. I also feel like I get extremely squishy (even with the normal build), since the enemy lanes get farm since I can't gank them.

I have two random questions Palthios.

1) Are you going to put your Q&A video in your guide? I found it very helpful to understand your choices. People will believe in tanky DPS Yi and Surge by seeing those clips.

2) What Master Yi skin do you use? Personally I think Chosen Yi is the best ...

First off, congratz Palthios on your new guide =p Always like your creativity and innovation to try the unexpected. Changing a tanky Garen to a crit-carry Garen and now a crit-carry yi to a tanky dps yi, this is just madness XD They'll never see it coming.

Anyways I like the build seeing as it is cost effective. Any GOOD jungler knows that regardless if you're fed or not, jungling will always have less exp and gold to spend due to fewer cs and reduced gold from minion camps. Meaning hard-carry yis will just not have the gold for the IE or whatever to be useful. (Not to mention, everybody is gonna focus you since you're yi)

Another thing about Surge and why it's actually useful in this build. Yi has no stun or slow (aside from frozen mallet), but what he does have is speed, and plenty of it. Meaning that as soon as you gank someone with, highlander, wuju style and surge, and provided one of your teammates actually engages and slows them for just a second, Yi's speed will just cut them in no time (plus alpha strike is surprisingly good at countering flash, always prioritizes champs for me)

My only concern for this build is that Yi still feels a little squishy, and the meta-game for players is just not there. (Aka, ppl who suck at laning and simply blame the jungler for them losing their lane and saying this is a troll build =.=) Still, Yi's attack speed can almost reach 2 attacks per second from this build, which is just nuts with double strike. Overall, great guide, it just needs players to understand the meta behind this creative guide =p
