So Warlemming pioneered a strategy to pretty much ensure First Blood as mid AD Master Yi, which involved grabbing Wraiths to speed up experience gain for level 2. He'd then stack for Double Strike, via killing/hitting lane minions.

Alpha Strike + Wuju Style + Double Strike + Ignite at level 2, guarantees First Blood (if you're a competent player and mid lane isn't expecting it).

Unfortunately, the upcoming jungle changes will render this method unusable/impossible. Was hilarious while it lasted though! So before the jungle changes, maybe you'd like to give it a go, and post your results ^^

tldr; I didn't say War pioneered taking wraiths to get to level 2 quicker. Just the idea specifically for AD mid Master Yi to stack Double Strike and kill someone at level 2. Like Veng mentioned, it's somewhat like old Rengar top lane with Double Golems.

I've done the wraiths thing basically every game as Riven when I go mid (the current meta has every lane take jungle experience if at all possible). I imagine Yi can do this surprise level 2 first blood with great success as well.

This of course doesn't work against other mids who can grab wraiths easily like Diana, since they will hit 2 at the same time as you and get enough base stats to survive your burst.

People already do this, except

1. Mid laner helps top with Wraiths
2. Top lane hits level 2 faster and completely snowballs top right from minute 2.

This depends on which top laner it is and which side you are on. When you're purple, some top laners can solo Golems without help and give Wraiths to mid. I know Riven can do Golems at level 1 with only 1 health pot consumed if she started Cloth 5, which lets her do the staple level 2 cheese for first blood. Don't recall who else can do golems without significant loss of consumable potions.

Well, if you're on Blue side and your jungler knows how to start Red, then top and mid can do wolves :p

Just thought I'd share the tactic before it becomes impossible :)

Looks great, except for the rest of the game you have to play AD Master Yi. =P funny video though I like watching peoples health bars melt.

This pretty much but seems legit
Gave you a good laugh or helped? rep+ so i can know ;)

Thanks to TinyStar, Jhoi, Xiaowi, Virus, Bard and Arcana(eww)...for my signatures!

Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.
