general plan is: open Meki, health + mana pot, dominate laning phase with alpha strike and meditate spam (made possible with masteries + MP5plvl /CDRplvl runes) build towards Nashor's Tooth + rageblade so I can push towers later in the game. Teamfights: alpha in and try not to die. is this a total scrub build or what | ||

At level 6 he would pop in with level 2 Aegis and level 3 HSS. and now he plays corki :p let's just drop it, I don't even wanna talk about panth anymore. I'm a xin/taric/heimer/sivir player now :p. | ||

I don't think he's that fit for solo quee thou. He's just as squishy as trist but with only 1 escape mechanism and highly dependent on his team for E to work. Edit: Does Phosphorus Bomb reveal wards? | ||

I've recently come to the conclusion that GA + Banshee's Veil makes Xin and Taric impossible to kill. I pretty much always get them with those two guys. | ||

All of the guides i've looked at say "Hey, stack auras!", but my best games have come from doing other things instead. aura stacking is not good, IMO. I just go: doran's ring merc treads guardian angel <game usually over here> usually banshee's veil here, but I guess it could be other things, it just usually feels most appropriate to me. | ||

Sounds good, but why Zhonyas before Rageblade? Is it to get some oomph behind your Alpha before team fights start breaking out? Rageblade is cheaper, and I've never been sold on Zhonya's activated ability. And which boots? I'm thinking Swiftness pending some crazy amount of CC on their end. | ||

Alright, thanks. I've been using Boots of Swiftness to catch people with move 2 boots, but i'll try out Merc since that's usually my largest problem. | ||

You really don't need Merc Treads with Yi unless they have crazy stuns because Highlander makes you immune to slow, but it's kind of nice to have that extra magic resist. Otherwise, I like swiftness or sorc. The reason you rush Zhonya's is because you're super squishy and after teamfights start breaking out it's too hard to farm a large item like Zhonya's. I would also suggest trying out double NLR, it's been working for me very well on Cho but he's pretty innately tanky anyway, and Yi actually benefits from the goldmember. | ||
