Hey dudes,

I cant see it anymore. It is horrible. Master Yi Jungle is a very strong pick creator and dueler in the mid to lategame. But what you have to consider is his build. I think there is no dicussion for devourer and BorK. But then, guys, please, build tanky. Build DMP, SV or the Titanic Hydra, just stop thinkin youll be effective in Full AD. AND PLS DONT TAKE CRITS!!!! THEY DONT STACK ON BORK OR DEVOURER EITHER!! ITS WASTED GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF?

  1. You have no idea what you're talking about
  2. Yi is so damn squishy you could build him full tank and he'd still be shut down by a single CC.

What bothers me is no one uses Manamune when going the on-hit full farm build.

Hell, the problem that is Manamune's weak midgame is non-existant due to full AD Yi's play style.

Why would you use manamune?

TehNACHO1 votes

Because it is, sans BotRK attacking a health stacker, the strongest physical damage on hit items in the game.

And the normal drawback that is its shittacular midgame doesn't tend to exist seeing that most Yis are still farming at this time. Getting it as a second item should have it at least mostly stacked by Yi's 4th item, which is when AD Yi's exponential power really kicks into overdrive.

The thing with that item is while the passive of muramana does definitely work well with his kit, the item itself is not gold efficient and if you do not buy your tear of the goddess really early ( which no one would do ) You are not going to finish the stacks until the game is over.

2, Master yi would ONLY benefit from the passive, the attack damage it gives is miniscule at best, the mana regen is average and the bonus mana would only go towards the passive. And honestly that amount of passive damage you get from that item alone is not very much, its usually best with another mana item, which yi wont build.

Also, Master yi is not a skill spamming champion like Ryze for example, He is mostly AD reliant. The 1000 mana would, again, only benefit the passive.

SO basically there is much more you can do with 2200 gold on Master Yi than buy manamune.

EDIT: When I said mostly AD reliant I meant basic attack reliant.

it's useless. Titanic Hydra+BC combo is simply better and makes you tankier.

What bothers me is this guy thinks crit is useless in a bork devourer build xD

BLUTROTE ZÄHREN1 votes

yeah. crit IS useless. it does not stack on the damage of bork and devourer. so easy.

Devourer means massive passive procs which do work with crit.

It isn't useless.

Baunjo1 votes

Not only does crit stack with bork, but by your logic you cannot build any items that do not stack, because it's just useless. So no buying boots, because they do not stack with damage, and no buying armor, because it doesn't stack with magic resist, and no buying health, because it doesn't stack with anything but health.

i watch a lot of Cowsep streams, and he's like a diamond Yi jungle main on Korea servers. He actually changes his build, after sated and botk building crit, armor pen, or defense based mainly on the enemy team comp, i'm pretty sure. I don't even bother with BoTK i go right into Titanic, Sterak's, Deadman's after sated because the synergy between those items is fucking broken.

botrk has broken synergy with sated actually, more than any other item.

Because as you powerfarm, you offer way more pressure by having your TP up for a potential countergank or TP-gank whenever someone overextends. It also grants splitpush pressure. If you farm a lot while keeping your TP up, you'll have a lvl advantage over the other jungler (and Yi has great clear) making you have more impact. Flash kinda sucks in comparison. If I don't get TP, I would get summoner 3 for the increased duelling potential.

It's pretty funny how you consider yourself better in knowing what to build than one of the best Yi's in the world. Play some thousand games of Yi, get to high diamond and come talk later.

About the subject itself, crit is still good on Yi. It is still strong. Is it worth? I don't really think so. Myself, I usually go along the lines of item 3111 item 3931 item 3153 item 3142 item 3071 item 3742 with obvious build variations depending on who I'm facing, who is the fed menace, etc.

"not a good master yi player"

When you get thousands of Yi games and get diamond on the korean servers you can tell people when they are a bad Yi player.

Along with this, and I hate pulling this card since I am not a great player, you are silver 3 with 22 games on yi this season. sharing your thoughts is fine, but you can't call a player that is waaay more experienced with a champ then you "dumb" because they don't do what the silver player does.

Or the people that play him could get their head out of their ass and play someone that doesn't one shot everyone on the enemy team at 20 minutes.

If you let him free farm/free kill for the first 20 min of the game you deserve to be rekt.

Not to mention, when he can 1 shot you, he is totally open to be 1 shotted too (that is until he's so fed it no longer matters).
