I just looked in ryanchois match history (challenger) and foud that he went 19-7 as AP yi in ranked. So he dominated at a challenger level with it which means it must be back. Im thinking the lich bane changes have now made it possible, Hurrah ap yi has returned.
New Yi has no AP scaling other than on his healing.
Sure go AP if you want, you're just shooting yourself in the foot as you'll have 0 damage outside of maybe lich bane.
This isn't even a cheese build, it's just bad.
After i read this i tried ap yi also but went with hextech first for maybe some extra proc from the active with ap ended up just going ad before finishing a lich bane.
what kira said was true compared to his other games where ryans got youmuus etc it was all over 200k physical dmg. and barely any magic. so ya he sold his items late game. And no one makes 18k plus and had less than 5 items so ya like i said above he sold his stuff for ap for the heck of it lol.
I thought about trying ap yi as a tank too but he brings no utility otherwise it be good maybe someday he will return. im hoping.
