What's the advantage of getting boots early as Yi as opposed to Zeal?

I'm looking at the jungle. Would it be better to rush the warrior enchantment or to delay it by 300g?

Why would you get warrior on Yi?

Full ad builds.

boot is cheaper than zeal, much cheaper.

rushing zeal without already having ad isn't efficient.

No, blood razor is only good on onhit builds. He wants to use nb3's full as build which has far superior DPs.

Running a quick check on his channel, all his full ad builds he skips a jungle item entirely. On some of his other videos he builds the bloodrazor/botrk build which is more standard. Warrior is just not useful on Yi. It doesn't give crit, pen or attack speed. Yi doesn't really care about his cooldowns because he's an auto attack reliant champ with cd resets in his kit making that part of warrior useless.

There are 2 possible full ad builds.

First one, going warrior into ghostbalde,

the other one, it's Silencee crit build.

Shrugs I don't think warrior is worth it on most champs since it lost the armor pen. Imo they should give it back the pen, I'd take it over cdr if that's the only option.

can't say I disagree.

getting boots early is if you're confident u can successfully pull off a gank otherwise the zeal would be better for just farming.

The logic herein is that in the early game people will be scared shitless of ganks and you reliably won't be able to make use of the attack speed as people will just flash away and at most you'll only get off 1-3 basic attacks off.

u get warrior against low hp teams and early gank pressure. Since the cdr is pretty much useless on yi at that point, I'd just get 2 long swords and the 2nd jungle part just for the xp bonus then finish the rest later prly at 8minutes.
