EPTYou never really notice how big of a deal defensive stats are until you start jungling yi. He takes so much damage from the camps. He has a heal but it's still hard to stay capped iirc.

In team fights as long as someone dies when you have your ult up you get free 70 AD over and over again as well as a billion MS and AS. You need survivability on Yi since he gets so much for free. Free AD, MS and AS on top of a gap closer. Once you have Phage no one is getting away. Note that the passive will reactivate on a refresh, but the active will still remain for its full duration. This means that if you kill someone you can have 105 bonus AD. | ||

Just make sure you don't hit the active again: Activating Wuju Style a second time, after the cooldown has been refreshed by Highlander, actually results in a decrease in damage, as it again removes the passive buff. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Master_Yi_the_Wuju_Bladesman/Ability_Details | ||

I didn't believe someone the first time I heard it because he sounded like a dick but using E after your reset actually does reduce AD. I just tried a game as a more tanky jungle yi. Wriggles, mercs, phage, GA, IE, working towards PD. I did the least damage on my team but somehow went 5-1 in early game fights and got their soraka to quit -> we win. I died once giving nasus a double kill under his tower later on though. That was just a bad initiate by darius. Overall I went 9-4 in a closer game than it should have been. All game was just teemo split pushing, and darius pretending he has teemo's move quick and mushroom wall and doing the same. Ezrael kept dcing in a storm. In fights we were always outnumbered. We could have won way earlier if we had grouped but we just dicked around and made up for our mistakes with 950+ free gold every 6 minutes. The thing is his ganks weren't that frightening with the lack of cc. Your allies always expect you to do more damage than you do. And people like talon will focus you even with phage's life, wriggle's armor, and GA's armor. His heal is really unreliable. If you use it you get silenced out of it. If you run away and use it, the team fight's over. If you don't use it for a long time, you die. I'd have to try it some more, as well as other builds to gauge the strength of the build, but I'm not a dedicated yi player. Someone else who mains yi and has tried all sorts of builds can probably say what's best. | ||

You should be playing Yi as a cleanup hero imo anyway, after cc's been blown you run in and shit on peoples faces | ||

Just play him like shyvana with exhaust smite rush wriggles then phage for cc then aegis for tankiness mercs somewhere and hex for mr instead of wits | ||

You aren't realistically going to do too much in lane apart from randomly hitting someone with alphastrike. 1v1 isn't yi's strong point. You never want to switch into AD from AP, that's a huge waste of money and you never want to go the other way around either. If you're AP, you have no arpen, no AD masteries which constitutes a pretty massive chunk of your damage. Terrible idea. Dcap+mercs/sorcs+void+hourglass+lichbane+(rylais/abyssal/dfg) is generally the best endgame build you can do on AP yi, there's no point to getting and AD on him. | ||

Depends on whether or not you can rely on your shit team. If you're queueing blind with 5s, then I'd play AP. Otherwise AD. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/njCaF.jpg) I don't understand. I built some damage. Wits end and phage later on. I had about as much invested in offence as Lee Sin. That Alistar was a shittalking jungler and had less gold than me and only a sunfire for offence. How the hell do they all do more damage than me? This is what all of my damage charts look like. And of course people are gonna say "lol, noob you play Yi as a janitor". Not that simple. How in the hell does Ali do more damage than me? To Champions? I know these stats are often bugged... but is it not counting Yi's autoattacks? What the hell is going on? Why does twitch do more damage even though he relies on autos too? This is BS. I'm convinced I'm winning in spite of Yi, not because of him. | ||
