Champion.gg - Master Yi Jungle Stats, Builds, Runes, Masteries and Counters

As of 19:38 EST on 7/21/2016 (patch 6.14), champion.gg says is the highest winrate build for jungle. I occasionally play crit . A few weeks ago I returned to it after the removal of the good old bruiser build and got good results (this is the game: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2238534809/208372787?tab=overview. I'm not sure if you need to log in to my account to view it. I was 26/6/8 with )

With that said, what do you think? Gotten any good results? Is this the glorious return of crit ?

seeing crit yi come back makes me happy, because it is what Yi is supposed to be. I really hope it catches on again.

It never wasn't a thing people just likes the FREELOFREELO of bruiser Yi. Now it's slightly less unfun to fight him cause he's building squishy again.

I've always been going crit Yi, but it would be nice to bring him back because I have to agree it's not a very reliable build .-.

That highest winrate build has been changing on a patch-to-patch basis. Just last patch it was full of tank items. I can guarantee you that his best build hasn't changed each patch. Their system for determining what the highest winrate build is is incredibly spotty, and I wouldn't trust it for a second.

Unfortunately, I can also tell your from playing Yi and watching other Yi players that crit Yi is not very good in most games. It's almost the definition of a "win-more" build, because it leaves him highly reliant on getting a quick pick without getting taken out, and that only works if he's ahead enough that he can rely on a sheer item and level advantage. A much better option for most games is the bruiser build. Two on-hit items followed by tank with a little tanky AD. That build actually works against enemies who are close to you in power.

It sucks that Yi can't build pure damage unless he's already winning hard anymore, but that's just the nature of the game. On-hit items function too well independently of each other for him to need to build scaling damage anymore, and that means that he has to fill the void with tank stuff.
