Kind of a hard lane due to his bursty kit and stun, We should try to farm up as much as possible to outpush him
Gnar
Not a problem for Yi cause we can outsustain him easily and we can dodge all his abilities
Fiora
Well it's a Fiora-Matchup what do you expect?> U can kill her when she has no R
Hecarim
One of the easiest Matchups ever he shouldn't be able to touch or harm you in any way
Jayce
Seeing as I'm a Jayce/Yi guy I can tell that this matchup is 60/40 for Jayce due to his longrange Poke and burst capability.
Maokai
Farming is our goal vs the Tree. After Blade we can duel him easily !Care for ganks!
Fizz
Fizz is tricky cause his Ignite/Tp style makes him very strong in lane. We should just try to slowfarm up and survive the lane. Ps: If you can get ahead you should stil be careful
Ryze
Really not hard due to Ryze's ****ty early game (1-5). Normally your jungler will gank and you can snowball the lane.(pushing him in helps)
Riven
Arf Riven I hate this Champion!
Its not really winnable due to her Super broken kit. She will oneshot you at lv 6 so be careful. We can kill her with Blade and Ult tho /Dodge her Ult with Q/!
Rumble
Very Easy Lane due to our strong counter-kit. We can farm all lane and dive if hes overheated-
Cho'Gath
Its all about dodging his q. You can try to push him in and get early scuttle for control, after blade you can dive him
Olaf
Thats actually a hard one!
Olaf is a great duelist (so is Yi) but Olaf can get tanky with his ult and burst yi to death (W if he goes ALL-IN and gg)
Malphite
Just Farm all lane all game all day and youre fine. Careful when hes 6 cause is ult will make you an easy target for ganks
Renekton
Oh God the crocodile.
Try to survive his early powerspike and call for help. (thats what i do in soloq lol) If we can get atleast 2-3 items we can easily win vs him but surviving the lane is key
Rengar
Rengar Matchup depends highly on the enemy Rengar-player. If he goes all in early just w and you're fine. After Blade hes dead
Poppy
Poppy can't win the lane (atleast thats what Riot says) so just farmup and dont trade with her (shes super derp op) She can dive Yi easily so Jungle help is needed. After 2-3 Items its even aslong as she cannot stun you
Pantheon
Pantheon gives Yi a hard time due to his poke and all in potential. His Passive may block ours aswell so careful. If we manage to get Blade before he has Hydra we win
Quinn
Her Kit allows her to poke us all day (which is really bad for us!#obviously!
Just get Blade and duel her should be do-able (care for her blind though)
Wukong
Wukongs Laning is really hard for Yi due to Wukong's "tricky" kit (he will outplay you w/e) but normally wukongs tend to go full ad which means u can solo him easily
Zed
If he runs ignite its dangerous but if not.... well he wont harm us too hard cause we can dodge all of his skills. After you get Blade hes dead
Shyvana
Annoying champ to play against cause you'll get pushed in heavily. If she goes Blade 1st you can't really duel her so this matchup is all about farming
Vayne
The one that gets Blade first will win.
Due to jungle camp start you can cheese her lv2vs1 or LvL 3 vs LvL 2 (she may not have her E)
Kayle
Kayle is kind of annoying cause we can't dive her after 6. Her low earlygame dmg leaves us to farm in peace
Sion
No1 plays him anymore but heyyy
He cant stop us from farming so its easy
Irelia
Hard Matchup for Yi due to Irelias strong Laningphase. If we manage to get blade early we can win easily tho (dodge stun with q (its do-able :D)
Hello this is my 1st Guide and its about a new Soloq-Experience of mine: AD YI TOP
After playing several games with him I recognised the Power of this absurd Champion.
Runes
Runes
For Runes I took a standart Attackspeed oriented Page-nothing spectacular
Masteries
Masteries
Masteries I go 21/9 : What basicly means that i take attackspeed critbonus and sustain +ad scaling
Spells
Spells
I prefer to go TP/Flash in a normal Game but aslong as the enemy Team has no J4 or smth like that u can run TP/Ghost aswell
Pros
Pros
Pros: Safe Laning Good scaling Fun to play Hard to get out of the game Good Splitpush Sustain and MS steroid
Cons
Cons
Needs to get Rolling
Can be ganked easily before 6
No CC
No Burst
Creeping / Jungling
Creeping / Jungling
Due to the new Devourer Item Yi became the most feared Jungler on the Rift,
-had to mention it sorry
Team Work
Team Work
Everything with CC or MS boost will make Yi stronger so he fits into alot of Comps
Especially Sivir comps are great !
Summary
Summary
Seeing as Yi is a fast scaling assasin you can do alot of things with him!
From Splitpushing an inhibitor at min 20 tp soloing the enemy backline with 4 items, its great
Id Rate Yi as a Tier1/2 Toplane in Soloq due to the things i said earlier.
