Introduction
Many people might tell you that Yi is most likely to lose mid, but with this build I win my lane about 95% of the times.
This is my first build BTW, so if there is anything missing, just tell me and I'll fix it.
When you finish this build, your stats would look like this:
Health - c.a. 2000
Attack damage - 216
Ability power - 500+
Attack speed - 1.600%+
Armour - 150+ (+300 when Meditate)
Magic resist - 120+ (+300 when Meditate)
Movement speed - c.a 430
You got a second chance with
Guardian Angel
With
Lich Bane you do 700+ basic damage after using an ability power (2 sec CD)
Health - c.a. 2000

With

Runes
The runes I recommand are tipical AP caster runes. Because you start off as an AP caster and the better your start, the more you own.
For Marks I go for

For Seals I would go for Greater Seal of Replenishment. In the end you have enough mana with your items, but at the start you might run out of mana. Altough Yi doesn't use that much mana, you will run out finally.
For Glyphs you are better off with

With Quintessence I also go for

Masteries
With masteries I go for 23/0/7.
You want to get as much AP as possible. But you also want to go for the 10% armour penetration because it pretty usefull later on.
On Utility you just decrease your

The last item you pick is a





Your main focus will go to
Alpha Strike. Great to harras with and great to farm with.
You also don't want to forget the
Meditate which will save your *** and allows you to stay in lane for a long time, even tough its has a low level.
At level 6, 11 and 16 you wil suprisingly upgrade your ultimate
Highlander.
And last but not least, your
Wuju Style. You upgrade this last because you mainly harras with Alpha strike and save your *** with Meditate. Altough
Wuju Style is really usefull when you start to get more hybrid. It gives you lots of attack damage so you still do lots of damage after using your
Alpha Strike.

For Summonur spells I recommand you to go for
Cleanse and
Flash.

Flash to get an easy escape. It is great togather with your [Highlander]].
Flash out of the teamfight if there is too much CC. Run like crazy, hide into the bush,
Meditate and jump on again with your Aplha Strike.

The other summoner spell I recommand is
Cleanse. Really great on Hybrid Master Yi. Really great as counter
Ignite. Also good in teamfights when you are almost dead and the enemy does some CC. You initialy can't
Meditate and die, but with
Cleanse, you just remove the CC,
Meditate and be alive.
Also really usefull when laning against champions like
Veigar,
Annie or
Ryze. If you couldn't avoid their stun and you are afraid they will Nuke you. Just
Cleanse and
Meditate.

Pros
Cons
- Really good farmer
- Really good to harres with form the start
- Great pusher so you can destroy enemy tower realy early
- Good team carrier
Cons
- Squishy if
Meditate is interupted
As I already said,
Master Yi has some great ins and outs to suprise te enemy with. To be the Master of the battlefield, it is really important to understand what Yi can and what Yi can't.
Here is a video totorial on how to lane, how to act on teamfights and how to carry your team. I'm not showing you guys a video how to play when you are fed, but Im showing you guys a video "how" to get fed. Even tough I'm fed in the end, team total is still a tie.
(Don't blame me for not being a professional commentator ;)
First of all, Yi is not a great champ to pull the blue with. So ask your top (or bot) to pull it. Just stand on the lookout for enemy champs. After that go to your lane. Wait for a minion to halve lives and than jump on it with
Alpha Strike. This way you get at least one minion kill and if you are luckey, you might hit your enemy. When being under level 5, your
Alpha Strike can't nuke minions, so wait for them to get a little lower on health and than jump on it to get as many minion kills as possible.
What you should take in mind is that
Alpha Strike hits the target you jump on and 3 other random enemies. what you should try is to do an
Alpha Strike when there are only 3 minons left and 1 enemy champ. This means that you will hit the 3 minions AND the enemy champ.
Alpha strike has some great damage output, so using it at the right time will force your enemy to base early game. And because of your
Meditate, you must try to play pretty agrassive. Just keep on harrassing your enemy with
Alpha Strike. But take in mind that you end up near the target you did your
Alpha Strike on. So doing an
Alpha Strike streight on your enemy can be pretty dangerous. If he uses
Flash near his turret, you are pulled with him and probably take some tower damage. Or if he just walks a little bit back when you do
Alpha Strike on him. Than you have to walk back again behind your minions. And that take some time. Just keep hitting your
Alpha Strike on the minions. Some extra minion kills are fine too. You already harras your enemy enough.
Anther great thing to take in mind is that if you push a lot, you might have to wait for new enemy minions. Use this time to visit a
wraith camp. Than go back, push your lane, enemy
wraith camp, push lane, your
wraiths and so on.
When fighting 1vs1, you can trick the enemy a lot. When it is a close fight, but the enemy is winning but doesn't has much HP left. Just
Alpha Strike,
Meditate, get to full health and
Alpha Strike again to pick up the kill. This is also really good when they want to towerdive you. Just go
Meditate and bye bye enemy.
When fighting 2vs2, you should be the one jumping in first. You want them to focus you. First do some damage by
Alpha Strike. Than start hitting them until you are almost dead. Start
Meditateing. Most enemies will just keep hitting you while you get the massive armour boost and health regen. They porbably do no damage on you for the next 5 sec. So your teammate can finish the enemies off.
In teamfights, you should go in second after your tank. Start off with an
Alpha Strike on a squishy enemy. Than finish it off with you
Wuju Style and
Highlander. Keep an eye on your lives. People may want to focus you, scince you look really squishy. If you are almost dead use your
Meditate to heal to full HP again and do another
Alpha Strike. (6 second CD due to your CD reduction). If your team is loosing the teamfight, jump out with
Flash and wait in the nearest bush. Your allies might run away and the enemies will chase them. Look for some enemy champs with low HP. Run to them on super speed using your
Highlander (off CD if you killed someone in last TF),
Alpha Strike on the target and finish it off (If this enemy was near other enemies, you damage multiple targets quit a lot). Because you killed someone with your ult, it removes all your cooldowns agian, so you can
Meditate inmediatly after. If there are more enemies with low HP, do this again to get the double kill. If not, just use your
Highlander to run out. If you are chased by 1 champ you can handle solo, just go to a bush and jump in to go for the 1vs1 kill.
It might not be like this everytime, but it is good to take this in mind.
