Attack Damage: IMO the best marks of Yi gives great early damage output which makes farming and harassing super easy, and killing enemies will be much easier. I take these most of the times
Attack Speed: Helps you with early DPS, I find these not the best for Yi but they can be useful if you are up against someone who has a slow base attack speed.
Armor Pen: A great option for Yi, It is similar to marks of attack damage but it decreases the enemies armor so your attacks can deal more damage. These marks with



Runes



These are the best runes to take for Master Yi since you will most likely be facing an AD champion. These marks will boost your defense allowing you to withstand a couple hits. You should always have these runes, even if you vs'ing an AP champ because you will be out of laning phase eventually and having these seals will help you a lot more than you think.

Runes



You now get a choice between scaling magic resist and regular magic resist. You will be needing these no matter what so you will be needing to choose.
Scaling Magic Resist: These are good if you are going against a team with 2 or less AP champs, this way you can let your magic resist level along with you and not have to worry.
Magic Resist: Now these are runes are also good you can get these no matter how many AP champs they have but if the enemy team has more then 3 AP champs then GET THIS. You will need the early protection because either you are laning against a AP champ or they have an AP jungler.

Runes



Now for the best part about the runes section, the quints!. We have 3 options for quints.
Attack Damage Quints: Very helpful especially if you have attack damage marks, this will help you deal maximum damage from the start. I often choose these quints as they are very helpful.
Armor Pen Quints: Are you up against a tank or the enemy team is tanky? GET THESE as they will help you destroy them easily, these quints are very useful when up against a tank top laner or when you are having team fights, check these out if you can.
Life steal Quints: My personal favourite quints because of how much they help in lane sustain. I get these just because when I get my

Farming
Early game is fairly simple we get out starting items of



Harassing
Harassing with Yi is really easy, all you need to do is



Warding
Warding is very important and you always want to ward when you can. so I added this video on how to ward properly
Zones
Next thing you want to do is lane safely, the picture below shows you where you want to be at when laning. The yellow zone can be dangerous if you are too far in and have no wards. The red zone is where you should start to worry, you are pushing too far and the enemy top can easily call their jungler, only push to the red zone if you see their jungler at a different lane Eg. Bot and/or have the river warded. The green one is your safest area but this most likely means that you are getting pushed. The best thing to do is wait until your jungler comes top and fight the enemy. While you're waiting farm the minions and harass them when they think you are going for minions.


Now that we hit mid game laning phase is most likely over so you can do a couple things here. You can either split push lanes so you can grant plentiful gold to your team and reach the nexus faster. Or you can go to other lanes and help them out, lets say mid lane is having troubles then you get over there and help your mid lane. This way your jungler can help bot and mid will be stronger so both lanes can get their towers faster. So we have the Split push way and the Assistance way.
Split Push way
So you want to go the ways of the split push well then all you need is a





The Assistance way
Don't feel like split pushing? no worries you can be the friendly badass assassin that wipes out the enemy lane with ease. Your main goal here is to feed your teammate and get the tower. It is fine to get 1 kill or 2 but don't steal every kill. I have a word for people who have all the kills on the team while their teammates have few to little kills. I call those people a




Welcome to late game where the only things that happen are team fights, baron taking, dragon stealing and more! But in this section I will be talking about team fights and your role in team fights.
Teamfights!
Assassin!
Your job is to pop in a team fight kill the damage dealers like adc or apc and then get the hell out of there. There are somethings you need to know about Yi first.1. He is not an initiator so don't run in there thinking that you got this because you will die instantly.
2. YOU ARE NOT AN INITIATOR
3. You will be focused so try to hide behind your tank this way skillshots will not get you
4. You always want to

Alright so a team fight started what is the first thing you do? go after the ADC or APC or whatever their strongest damage dealer is. You always want to go for them because they are extremely squishy just like you but because of your

Now there are 2 outcomes when there is a team fight
1. You aced the team
2. then enemy aced your team
If you aced their team then good job go to their towers and get their inhibitors or win the game if you can!
Now if you got aced then your team did something wrong, and when I mean team I don't mean everyone but you I mean your ENTIRE team did something wrong. Discuss with your team and ask them who should we focus and assign targets for each of your teammates and try again. When you can win a team fight then go push towers or get baron. Do what you can to win!

So you finally reached the end of my guide. Tell me what you think, what you would like to see.

Now below this a a flag counter I stole I MEAN borrowed from a
