Need help for Backdoor Yi

[quote=PapaSmurfROFL]I really want to try playing Yi solely as a backdoor champion, but need help on a build. Can you guys recommend 6 items that I should use? I'm thinking: Attack Speed Attack Damage Crit Chance Life Vamp Armor Any help?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I see... [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] is core. If you can farm it up fast enough, [[Atma's Impaler]] and [[Warmog's armor]] are good. Also, [[Phantom Dancer]] and [[Boots of Mobility]]. Maybe more than 1 [[Phantom Dancer]]. You're useless come teamfights but, you have a ton of BD power.[/quote]

[quote=da_neo]I would go with [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] [[Berserker's Greaves]] [[Phantom Dancer]] [[Phantom Dancer]] [[Bloodthirster]] [[Bloodthirster]] [[Ghost]]+[[Cleanse]] Simply wait till you know where they are. Have your support buy wards/ CV. If you are save, run through their jungle and stay in cover as long as you can. Then [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]]+[[Highlander]] that tower. If they come simply pop ghost and if you recieve a stun cleanse it away. Was pretty funny when I played him like that. We were loosing 20/50 they were at our first inhib and aced us 2 times in a row. Then I kinda thought it was game over so I sold my infinity and buyed the items above. Pushed 3 Towers+Inhib while they were pushing our second inhib. As they went back to base I begun to push the second lane. We won simply because they were afraid of backdooring leaving one behind. We were 5vs4 then, acing them(as the 5th came as he noticed im @ teamfight, but it was too late) and pushed their nexus....they were raging so much :>[/quote]

[quote=DEWO][quote=Joobieo] The key is to make sure team can handle a 4v5 team fight. [/quote] I would rather say "the key is to make sure team can keep all 5 occupied when they are in 4 so you can safely splitpush/backdoor[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]What DEWO said. If your team is fighting while you're pushing, they're retarded. A good build is ghostblade, Berserker's Greaves, Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer/Triforce. Then a Banshee's Veil and/or a Guardian Angel.[/quote]

[quote=PapaSmurfROFL]Here is what I'm thinking: Berserker's Greaves Sword of the Divine The Bloodthirster The Black Cleaver Phantom Dancer Thornmail Shouldn't I only buy items that avoid useless stats like Crit Chance/Armor Pen which have no effect on turrets? So I'm not wasting my gold when i could be buying a pure AD/AS item BTW: Does Thornmail's passive affect turrets?[/quote]

[quote=Max Carter]Yeah, your tought was really good. Black cleaver, I think, don't affect turrets, same for thornmail But, you will fight sometimes... so IDK good as item: wit's end... 42 magic damage to each hit, 40% AS and gives you MR... youmuu is an awesome item, but you can't get it for first one, I think. If you do, you will be without AS and without AD, you will depend on your ultimate and the passive... without it will be hard to farm and kill[/quote]

[/quote] Since Master Yi is far from an offtank, I would suggest pushing lanes to backdoor, rather than soloing towers. It's usually too inefficient. Therefore, you will not need an armor item like [[thornmail]], and can focus purely on tower-killing. Personally, I find [[Sword of the Divine]] to be a bit lack-luster unless I'm fighting a Jax, but I'll leave that one up to you. [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] should probably replace [[Thornmail]] though, because it fits in perfectly with Yi, and is very helpful when pushing towers.[/quote]
