Master Yi - General Playstyle:
Early Game: Focus on farming in the jungle. Master Yi is a scaling champion, so prioritize securing gold and experience. Look for ganks when the enemy is overextended or when you have a clear advantage.Mid Game: Continue farming but also look for skirmishes and objectives. With items like Blade of the Ruined King and Guinsoo's Rageblade, you can duel many champions.
Late Game: Stick with your team and look for opportunities to clean up fights. Your ultimate, Highlander, allows you to chase down enemies and reset on kills/assists.
Master Yi - Advice on Farming:
Use Alpha Strike (Q) to clear jungle camps quickly.
Meditate (W) can be used to reset auto-attacks and tank some damage from camps.
Team Fights as Master Yi:
Wait for major crowd control abilities to be used before engaging.
Target squishy carries or isolated targets. Use Alpha Strike to dodge key abilities.
Dragon and Baron fights as Master Yi:
Dragon: Secure vision around the dragon pit. Use Smite to secure the dragon.
Baron: Only start Baron with your team if you have a clear advantage or the enemy jungler is dead. Remember, Master Yi can melt Baron quickly with his DPS.
Master Yi - Matchups:
Bad Matchup: Kha'Zix is a significant threat due to his burst and invisibility. If he upgrades his R at level 6, it becomes challenging to 1v1 him unless you're significantly ahead. Use Meditate and Alpha Strike wisely to counter his invisibility and burst.
Synergies:
Yuumi: Yuumi can attach to Master Yi, providing him with heals, shields, and additional damage, making him even more formidable in fights.
