About me
Hello, I am Shymi, Master Yi OTP (on all accounts I have like 1kk mastery points but I'm playing only Yi right now), who wants to teach you how to play Yi in season 12. I am not the best Yi's in the world but I think this guide can help you a lot with playing Yi. If you have any questions ask me on my twitch chat when I stream(streams will be soon). My opgg : https://eune.op.gg/summoner/userName=Shymyi and my for fun accounts: https://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=jungler+z+easta https://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=eat+an+orange
Stream and Youtube
You can watch my gameplay and ask some questions on https://www.twitch.tv/shymi1 .

Is Yi a hard champ?
Most asked question to me is "Is Yi a hard champ". My answer is: This is a champion
"Easy to play, hard to master" because for example you do 1 bad "q" in teamfight then you will die. Good Yi have to know all limits of this champ too.
I recommend practicing meditate reset with your "w" . This is so helpful in your gameplay. This is hard too to do it very quickly. You can do it too when farming jungle camps

On-hit vs crit/lethality
On-hit into tanky comps (more melee champs too), crit/lethality into squishy champs(mostly ranges)
I feel like it depends on your playstyle. You can go on-hit every game and be sucessfull with it or you can just spam lethality build and oneshot everyone on your way. But I prefer to go build that fits enemy team like I said earlier.

Typical clear in jungle
My typical clear in jungle is red>krugs>raptors>gank mid/wolfs>blue>gromp>scutller>gank top/back to base/go for double scutller (if enemy jg didn't).
Some tips:
- On first camp(blue or red) use plant in 1:27 to get 1 stack of your passive.
- You have to smite big krug and gromp when clearing jungle.
- You have to auto and then q when farming jungle camps.
- Don't use your e on wolfs, just auto big wolf then q some autos then q second time
- If you doing blue you can smite gromp and do alpha strike for them both for faster clear.
- Yi can easily do jungle without any leash, but always ping for leash anyway.
- When you are doing Drake auto and then q to dodge drakes wake up
- Baron has a one "skill" that can toss up you , just dodge this with your alpha strike.
- Use your meditate reset with your "w" on jungle camps when you have it.
-You can kill scuttler with fast q-smite-aa combo in early.

Can Yi do solo baron in s12?
Yes, you can do solo baron if you go on-hit build. You need 3 items to deal with baron . Also you need sustain, so botrk or fully stacked raveonous hunter (rune) is must-have. If you want do solo baron with crit/lethality build you need full build and fully stacked ravenous hunter.
Yi mid
I played a lot of Yi mid and I can tell you that it's very good if you learn how to play him. Just play some games and learn it! I prefer to ban LeBlanc or Akali.
