How many times are you realistically going to be fighting them in a 1v2 situation with all of their skills still up? How does BotRK fix any of that if you get cced immediately after leaving alpha strike? Your primary target is probably out of range by the time you could use the active, especially if it's in a gank situation in bottom lane.

Well, why not get Cutlass and just leave it at that for a while? The upgrade to bork is 1800, that's a lot of fuckin money. Why not use it for a Tiamat/BF (depending on if you want Hydra or BT) or start your Ghostblade? It's not like Cutlass is terrible on its own, and the big reason to get BorK is the active anyway.

Is there something I'm missing? Cutlass is 1400 iirc.

Edit: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i wouldn't be surprised if starting the game with cutlass, tiamat, and brutalizer was viable.

I previously had done some math which showed Master Yi doing 650+ damage with Alpha Strike crits via IE. Upon doing some testing I've discovered I was wrong.

Alpha Strike does damage equal to 60% of your AD on a "crit", not 60% of Alpha Strike's normal damage. As a result, the damage from an Alpha Strike crit is "only" 550-600 with just IE.

(55+3*18+70)AD*(1+.9)+165ADRatio~505
(55+3+18*70)AD*(1)+165~344 on non crits (75% of the time).

Both numbers are pretty bonkers for a skill that resets like Yi's.
I guess you must have counted the crit mastery and one set of AD runes or something.
The old Q definitely had more burst early on with 300 magic damage for AD Yi. I always felt that was a weakness of Yi's was that he'd never have good burst.
Now, if he gets enough AD he's going to burst hard too? That's not right. Well I dunno, I guess the burst is only slightly higher than Tryn's or Fiora's before their autos start destroying. The resets and the fact that it's an easy to land AoE just make it seem stronger than the counterpart abilities now that it has so much AD scaling.

idk, I can dodge a lot of shit with that Q. On the list so far is Annie ult, Taric E, Lulu W, Zac E, and a bunch of other crap. Reportedly somebody dodged a Rammus Taunt (E?) as well. Counterplay OP.

When you just kinda press Q while running directly at someone (very fast), especially at lower elo, they unload their CC when you get into range, and if your range is anything close to their range, you begin alpha strike before the CC lands. No skill involved, their CC whiffs. I've missed more than a few Lulu polymorphs and other CC due to this, now i just exhaust first, and i don't use any hard CC until after he gets one alpha off.

So with Yi, if you Q a minion, then smite the minion, you will return to your original position and get some damage on up to 3 targets behind the minion. This could be useful knowledge for jungle Yi. I've been aware that you don't teleport if your target dies before the Q animation ends, but to be able to reliably cause Q harass safely is really good.

It's always been like this. It was part of what made AP Yi really annoying to deal with in lane on top of his insane W sustain.

I know.

Smite makes it much more reliable and easier to harass when you don't have that perfect minion to Q to.
