Master yi build question

Winters Dawn·Jul 17, 2017·1 votes·831 views

So ive been taking the yi through tye jungle to climb faster. Ok so previously my build path was blopdrazor into berserk boots into Bork. But lately ive been going blood razor, boots, rageblade. I personally feel more power with rage blade as a 3rf item then ill get Bork as 4th item. Guess id like to know peoples thoughts on that build path. But my main question, is wits end a good item for this build? I figured it would be good because of the magic,on hit I thought it would pair nicely with rageblades passive. Let me know. I'm just trying to optimize my builds

Cowsep is a great streamer to watch for Master Yi content.

What he does is rushes blood razor, and will usually get defensive boots (tabi or mercs). Afterward he goes for BOTRK. After those 3 items he will either get situational tank items or grab rageblade if he's carrying.

try phantom dancer as a second or third item. I like it.

Wits end is suboptimal, you dont really need to enhance the magic damage because you deal true damage already

When I play yi I run a page with AS Quints/marks and I go 18/0/12 and after you get bloodrazor/botrk/rageblade you get close to capping out your AS when you ult + stack rageblade

getting a visage would probably be better if you need some MR + it makes you tankier as well as upping your healing

i skip any jungle item and go straight ie into pd or shiv, running as marks/quints runepage. now ppl will come and tell me its a shitbuild but i tell you, his clear is solid and due to the as runes you can get good ad and if you crit, its just even better. masteries i run 18 12 0

Have you tried TItanic third? It gives good durability, waveclear, and most importantly, high burst. It makes you ganks a lot more effective, although your dueling is weaker.

I don't think Rageblade would be better than Bork in any circumstances third item... why do you feel it's better? Wit's end is generally a waste, Yi does better with Maw. His AD scalings amp the AD and he can utilize it's active quite effectively. For damage PD (even if you don't follow up with IE) and Bork are good, and after that you should probably go defensive.

It could have just been the games I was in but after I finished rageblade at 3rd item if I ever fought someone after getting 4-6 stacks on the rageblade it just felt like I melted them. Just trying to find out what works best to optimize my games

I see, but wouldn't getting to 4-6 stacks be pretty hard to do in most cases? Yo is squishy and melee, you'd probably die too quick.
