Yi is free this week and I wanted to try him out. I looked at the mobafire guides and the highest rated one says go AP. I scratch my head because Yi's passive, W, and R seem much better as physical DPS, but I keep reading. Then I look at the actual build. With his Glyphs, 21 Utility, Morello's, and Deathfire Grasp, this guy's CDR is 46.85%. Isn't the CDR cap at 40%?

Is this truly the best Yi guide on mobafire or is there something terribly wrong here?

I would never call AP Yi the best Yi (no offense to anyone). He's good early game, but falls behind so fast. Try one of the other guides, read through and read the comments as well, I think you'll find what you seek there :D

<insert my opinion of 99% of the guides on this website being bad>

<insert everyones opinions going "but jet, you're wrong!">

I wouldn't recommend using any of the top guides (except for, let's say, corki, leblanc) since the rest of the top ones (especially Yi, Taric, Sona, Morgana) are bad and/or outdated as ****. Look at the guides just below or any of the "top 10" of the champion builds

I feel hybrid Yi with an emphasis on AD is stronger than straight AD, but it's probably my defensive playstyle.

AP Yi just happened to be higher than AD Yi because the AP build was created after the mandatory voting system while the AD build was not.

AP Yi = fun
AD Yi = competitive play
Hybrid Yi = WTF?
