NOOB

This is some good stuff,but I also want to say something for improvement.Getting RCS earlier will get you some more HP earlier to avoid getting bursted too fast and as well as that useful slow.Also,I hink that Spell Vamp among your masteries is a bit useless.One percent of spellvamp will not help at all.Better take increased buff duration.

this isnt jungle yi...

Jungle yi shouldn't need to use potions

good

Runes and masteries are weird as ****. I don't think you should pick secondary runes at all on any champion.

Never ever get Lich Bane as your first item on anyone. Spell Vamp is not necessary on AP Yi because of his heal, therefore, there are much better option than Hextech Gunblade..

Mmhm, I played some AP Yi and there is a lot of things wrong about this guide.

Not gonna lie, terrible rune setup. Magic pen. is a must, really. So take magic pen. reds
Flat mana is weird and imo wrong. Yi doesn't need that at all. Better get either flat or scaling mana regen., HP/level or maybe armor?
AP/level blues, definitely.
Quints are fine.

Your skilling order is kind of weird.
Q-W-Q-E-Q-R is what I usually go. W has a ******ed AP ratio of 4:1 (I believe), so there is not much need to put more points into that (well, maybe for armor and MR)

ACTUALLY, one point in e at level 4 is very good. Don't listen to "OMG MAX Q AND W" people. It's a solid AD boost for last hitting + gives some more burst and DPS after you use your Q.


Your build hurts my eyes.

Deathfire Grasp-> Rabadon's Deathcap

DFG is not just a "core item" on AP Yi. It's the thing you just HAVE to get, if you want to kill people. CDR reduces cooldowns on Q and W dramatically and active allows for the "huehuehue" 100-0 bursts.
Lich Bane is important, but absolutely not as DFG or hat. That's your damage.

I don't think triforce is really good on him. I'd rather get Void Staff since you need the %penetration in later stages of the game.


One thing your guide absolutely lacks is the post-laning section. That's the only real thing you have to teach people about AP Yi. Anyone can use him in lane, it's just that simple. But unless you know how to play him after the lane phase, you are no good for the team.
Imo, write that asap or anyone who will try the guide will come back to you asking, "So, Syther, what teh fuq do I do after the laning phase with my 300 cs? =((((((("

Tips: Do not get Wuju Style until you max your other skills.
Get Kage's Lucky Pick early for more gold.
Deathfire Grasp should be built immediately after Loch Bane, as it is an extremely important item for AP yi.

thanks for putting Deathfire Grasp in +1

In Depth Detail about warding placement which I commonly don't see in guides

Both Lich Bane and Trinity Force? :O

No Deathfire Grasp?

Wuju Style at level 5?

DFG, Q, and Lich Bane can let you burst a squishy from 100 - 0, so that kind of makes it core on him, plus the CDR which lets you spam Q if you aren't getting those kills/assists.

E should be taken at 2 so you can use Alpha Strike > Wuju Style > passive which, assuming you're going mid, takes out over half their health. W can be taken at 3 or 4, as you generally won't need the sustain that early.
