good job =)

Also a few things i would change would be like, i dont go cleanse i go flash instead or exhaust, i also get a keges lucky pick after sheen, just because if you're already getting a deathfire might as well enjoy the gp5 item that builds into it

It's a completely different style of playing yi that invilves stronger pokes but somewhat weaker chases and incredible meditates that can be used to heal away from battle or in battle after being targeted to buy time for the rest of the team to kill the enemies, i love AP Yi

Great Guide! I recommend you put some pictures and videos in there. Also, give some analysis on how to play Master Yi during laning phase, who to target in team fights, skill sequence in team fight, ect. In conclusion, add some details and pictures on how to play master yi! +1

Thank you for your comment! Yes, I do want to add in some pictures and possibly some videos on how to play AP Yi as he doesn't exactly have an intuitive play style. I feel i also need to add a section about team fighting on how to enter a team fight and when and who to focus, who to avoid, etc.

You have 49% Cooldown reduction with this build. The maximum you can get is 40%, after that it stops going up....

Also, why focus on CDR so much on AP Yi specifically...??? It's like his weakest stat since he can already reset all his cooldowns if he kills someone (but with your build you won't kill anything.... no damage).

Also, getting Zhonya's Hourglass as your first item should never be done unless you are a tanky AP champion that has a channelled that doesn't stop when you use Zhonya's. (,) Not .

Getting Cleanse on AP Yi? Why... Cleanse won't make your enemies unable to stop your meditate... Flash will save your life much more often and can also be used for offensive purposes...

Thanks for your input! I will have to think about how to rework the build some to fix some of those issues. I disagree with you on the notion about cleanse, however. I still feel it's a better spell on Ap Yi. He's easily shut down in team fights by hard CC (stuns, snares, suppress, etc.) and a cleanse keeps him active and able to continue doing damage. I rely on his ultimate to escape/chase and get kills so I don't feel a flash is necessary. I am concerned about having more than 40% CDR bc I know that's the maximum amount of CDR you can get. My suggestion is to later change boots for merc treads or to not get deathfire grasp. Also, you say that my build has too much CDR and not enough damage, may I get your suggestion as to which items to get to build more damage? And finally, I looked at the numbers and I see that an early Zhonya's may not be the best item to get. It has a good amount of AP increase and armor to help shut down early AD damage but it is fairly expensive. Not anymore expensive than a deathcap but certainly in the 3000g range. I simply suggest it early to counter early bot lane harass. dorans>boots>feindish codex>chain vest>deathcap may be a better item sequence, getting Zhoyna's later on. Chain vest gives you 45 armor which is only 5 less that Zhonya's and can help if you are getting shut down early by ad carry. Thank you so much for your comment! I want to get better at guides and I appreciate your insight, helps a lot :)
