Don't Feed Master Yi -- In-Depth Champion Information (League of Legends)

Such a good champion against poor team comps or teams with poor coordination, but I found he was completely unable to enter team fights against serious opponents. That didn't necessarily mean the game was lost, but I wouldn't try this champion in any serious setting unless the opposing team simply didn't have much crowd control. Definitely good for new players, though, so he belongs in the recommended category.

Don't Feed is a video series that covers champions in greater detail than the Champion Spotlight. This series is descriptive, not prescriptive, meaning that I aim to provide you with solid information without telling you which items, runes, or masteries are best (as these frequently change). With this information, you can better play against these champions, and you may be interested in learning to play them. Even after nearly a thousand games, I am still learning new things about these champions by making these videos, and I'm sure the vast majority of LoL players can learn a lot from these.

My goal is to provide these videos for all champions in League of Legends.

Master Yi, the ultimate noob lord! You can get amazing stats with Yi... when you play against noob teams. That's why people start using him, thinking they're amazing players, and later find out they're crap. His CC vulnerability is too extreme. As soon as you face a team who knows what they're doing, well, he's basically raw meat. A well timed stun is all it takes before Yi turns into dust at later lvls. But obviously no solo champ can stand a well fed Yi, mostly because of his anti-slow ulti.

@iordanis814 what do you mean understand him? You basicly right click.

AP Yi.

Yea jax is made to kill master yi 1v1 .....

[xplayz]

@TheLactobacillus especially if the person is staking crit and he gets crit every other attack

[DeathNoteWayL]

master yi is op :(

[BillChelios]

@TheLactobacillus Jax can 1v1 with Yi. If you see yi coming fully chaged with Highlander and Wuju style active, you just dodge all his attack for 2 seconds, stun him, and and then finish the job. If he meditates, he will tank you for 5 secs and then he is dead. Unless he uses the remaining 1 secong of his ulti to get away, he is dead meat. but escaping is not an option when facing Jax 1v1. The only option is death.

master yi smiley face

@TheLactobacillus if yi is receiving really heavy focus in team fights i have found that if you use a combination of banshees, warmogs, and his "W" yi can be really quite tanky, and still have inventory to keep the meat and potatoes of whatever build you were originally working towards. or you could even go a straight up tank build and just use his ult get out after you hit "W" and take the initial nuking.
