I've been playing as Yi the last 3 days now. I've never seen an AP Yi before so I decided to make a try. ********it, I love it. Alpha Strike at 800ish and heal at about 1500 over 5 sec. (3 vs 3)

Though everytime I start to build up ppl start flaming me. Calling me noob, idiot bla bla. Do they lack the knowledge of how Yi works with AP or am I a fool going AP?

I usually go Lich bane, Rabadons and boots depending on the other team, etc.

Please, enlighten me. Am I a fool or not?

AP Yi was, is and will be raping. People who underestimate him are the idiots here.

Yeah hes amazing and fun to play (AP Yi)

I have 60 games or so played and average of 5 towers destroyed each game!!

I love backdooring with him and making the other team unable to push or teamfight as a 5 because

they have to come back for me! otherwise their towers just go down in seconds

especially if you build him with nashor tooth.


Also AP Yi is really hard to kill and harass in 1v1 (Top lane SOLO and Mid lane)

He'll just Q you to your tower and meditate if needs be if hes low.

Amazing lane control, amazing gank potential as his Q hurts early-mid game

and finally, amazing at harassing and backdooring.


People who say "AP Yi omg we lose" etc. should give the build a second chance.

Hes not the best asset for the team, and I'm not recommending him for you to try

but in terms of harassing, backdooring and how fun AP yi is... hes 10/10.

The last time I saw AP Yi, it was in a normal game a few monthes back.

I was playing Blitzcrank in the same lane.
Easiest. Game. Ever.

Every time he tried to meditate, free pull and knock-up. Built my Banshee's Veil early, Alpha Strike became useless for him.
Naturally, The AP Yi became pretty useless.

Only attempting to switch to AD around mid-game when he finally faced facts:
AP Yi is for pubstomping lanes without stuns.

I've always loved AP Yi, the first game I played him I got three triple kills and went 20 something and 4 or something like that.

His problem is that his meditate is easily cancelled by CC, and his only REAL damage comes from his Q - which is one spell.

I've experienced that aswell now. In a lane with stunners I'm pretty dead if left behind. But other then that I'll just meditate and see them try to run away when they realized what just happened =)
