I´m curious about your choice of runes, especially because you took Conqueror on a build that seems to be mainly focusing on Attack Speed, why didn´t you consider taking Lethal Tempo instead? Conqueror scales with your Attack Damage as it converts 20% of it to True Damage, but this seems to be so little without any real damage items. Furthermore, the only Life Steal item you have is actually weakened and less effective through the use of Conqueror, because Life Steal doesn´t work on True Damage. This means that once you proc Conqueror (and maybe even activate your E) as you would do in teamfights, your overall survivability actually decreases. Lethal Tempo however synergizes well with your Attack Speed build and lets you use your Q significantly more often, which makes it easier for you to survive in teamfights. Apart from that a nice guide! Keep up the good work!

This is an awesome question! I have actually been in the same position that you are wondering aswell! I used Lethal Tempo for a huge portion of the season and I still use it occasionally too. Cowsep is what really pushed me over to conqueror because of how effective it works for him. You do have a point that it is a mostly attack speed build,but it still has plenty of AD to make conqueror work, if anything it personally works best with a mix of attack speed and attack damage. You say the damage feels so little which I see why you would think that but end game Yi has anywhere from 250-300AD With 2.5AS Which actually absolutely melts people with the Conqueoror autos. For the survivability part, you are correct, but with this build you still have enough durability (GA, Steraks Gage) to get through a team fight. The lifesteal in BOTRK is primarily used for splitpush healing. With all that being said I really enjoyed your question and by no means am I ruling out lethal tempo, I love that rune and I will be adding more to this build and more optional runes when I have the time.
