Yi or Xin Zhao in low elo

So I'm trying to move away from shyvana to someone who can gank more. Shyvana's biggest issue is she has no real way of ganking early and as long as lee, Elise, graves, etc are dominant carry junglers, she can't be good. The problem for me for playing this champions is they take alot of mechanical skill. I dont have that. I know the meta has shifted to utility jg's but those games feel a bit too slow paced for me and if they are long games, it's boring. I know because of my last amumu game. It felt too slow paced and even when I did land good ults, I didn't feel like my team would capitalize on them. They still said I was trash when I kept setting up good teamfights. The 2 champions that come to mind for carry jg with low skillcap are you and xin. You is the pentakill god but he only brings damage. Xin is a diver champion who builds bruiser but the enemy team will converge onto him. They both have a reputation for stomping low elo.y question is who's better at low elo. Yi or xin.

Yi is great in all ELO's. The biggest problem people make with him, is that they use his q as a gap closer, instead of using it to dodge cc/damaging abilities that would one shot you otherwise. The 2nd issue, is that people don't build him correctly. They just build him item 1419 item 3153 item 3006 item 3087 item 3142 item 3036 when you should instead build item 1419 item 3111 item 3748 item 3124 item 3143 item 3065. Yi already has enough damage in his kit, so getting all those damage items is just a waste of time, plus you get one shot over and over. I also max w second, instead of e.

I agree with that. They build crit but should be going for the safer rageblade build although I would still buy botrk.

xin is the better jungler overall i think, but yi is probably better in low elo. This is because all it really takes to carry with yi is the other team making mistakes. Autoattack the turret when they are low health, missing their cc skillshots, running it down mid while the sidelanes are pushing into them. Yi capitalizes on so many low elo mistakes it's ridiculous. You don't have to try to snowball with yi the enemy team will make enough mistakes that you'll end up snowballing regardless.
