AP Yi, why does everyone complain?

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]AP Yi isn't countered by 740 gp anymore than any other caster is. Under that argument why do we build AP on anyone? And a QSS will help with stuns to a certain extent.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]The problem is that other ap casters does not rely on people deyeing to get his spell back. And they got more than 1 nuke spell... EDIT: The ussaly bring more utility than just: Dmg... Ap yi is bad, fact! But don't get me wrong, it is super fun to pubstomp with him :)[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]They complain about AP Yi because he's bad.[/quote]

[quote=welshdrag]AP yi is disgustingly horrible, sure you can go lololol 800 dmg xD but then what? You have nothing. I've played with an AP yi on my team and he got into perfect situations that an AD yi could have taken adv. of. For example, 4 of us are dead, yi is alive, and is facing 3 people with 200 health each. Too bad his attack speed is shit and has no lifesteal so guess what happens! ~ace~ AP yi is not a legit build. It's just as much of a Lolumad build as 6 sunfire eve was. Facing the facts, the thing he was made for is being an AD carry capable of pentakills. In fact, I got one of my three lifetime pentakills with yi. Just because a skill or two scale well with ap on an ad char doesn't mean ap build will work. Jarvan IV's flag scales with ap. I suppose you'll want to build ap Jarvan so you can roll there hole teem, eh OP?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Yea... no. The reason AP Yi is even close to semi-viable is that both his scaling skill, scale at a 1:1 ratio. AP Yi really becomes more of a tank with his massive healing and large amount of armor. He's fun. Not practical. End discussion.[/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]Banshee's Veil.... Problem? AP Yi is disgusting to watch :3, Absolutely no skill level involved tbh. Not as powerful as AD Yi late game... I just hate it Lets say AP Yi is the Yin players, and AD Yi is for the Yang players (Sounds Corny, I know)[/quote]

[quote=DocSmoothJew]I feel roughly the same way about AP Yi as I do about AP Teemo. Yeah you CAN pull off some major damage, but in team fights you're damn close to 100% useless. Difference is that AP Teemo does have some stuff to back him up, but you are mostly relying on people running over a shroom for the main portion of your damage. Just to be clear though I think a hybrid Teemo is good but straight-up AP teemo is pretty bad. I could also maybe see a hybrid Yi work. Like go malady -> Guinsoo's -> hextech -> rabbadon maybe. But you're still way better off with the massive dmg boost on Wuju.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=JunSupport] 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.[/quote] Exactly.[/quote]

[quote=Atarios][quote=PotatisFarfar] Problem with ap yi: Gets countred by 740 gold... And stuns ofc [/quote] Whats the 740 >>[/quote]
