@@smokinpumpkin3173 so... you farm and never gank unless its not a big detour and seems 100% safe to be a kill with no uncertainties. you also tell your team early that you cant gank much, and if that tilts them already thats your 1/10 unwinnable game, other than that just do drake very early solo as you can do it really fast. if enemy jg shows topside while you are botside, its basically free. mercurys>berserkers, and you only really NEED rageblade and bork for damage. kraken is nice in a lot of games, but a lot of the time you just want tankyness from deaths dance, steraks, wits end and titanic. against very ad heavy teams consider steelcaps, against very ap heavy consider dropping deaths dance for visage.
Fun fact: In the Brazillian dub of League, Master Yi and Cho Gath share the same VA, the late Dário de Castro. Who also voiced Martian Manhunter, Captain John Smith, Captain Febo and Space Ghost.
9:58 Fun Fact: Master Yi W isn't just for the damage reduction, it weirdly is also an auto attack reset, which becomes nearly impossible to do when you have 2.5 Attack Speed late game, but its really useful early game when he doesn't have Attack Speed. As you said, the smallest modicum of skill expression that Yi has is just from his W
Rammus is only a problem until you realize you can simply choose not to fight him. Be smart about your engagements and he rarely gets a chance to taunt you - and by the time his taunt is leveled high enough to matter, you most likely already have Merc Treads and Wit's End to cut the duration in half and make him regret buying armor. Though, of course, some of this might change with the item changes coming later this year.
I'm gonna sound like an absolute boomer but back when Feral Flare was a thing and I played the game, that was probably peak Yi usage for me. For good reason, that infinite stacking attack speed was very, very silly.
@@CreationsFlare It wasn't infinite attack speed? It was +1 magic damage on-hit for every camp you killed, no? But yeah, that was a ton of fun on Yi, but I also loved it on WW because his ult applied it 5 times as a point-and-click suppression ability.
I do agree on that Master Yo phase. Probably the first (or one of the first) champions I've got Mastery 5 (in the old Mastery system, back in like 2015-2016)
0:22 ...yeah, same. The Splinter Cell Swordsman just looked so cool to younglings like me. Way back in S2, I think I was stacking multiple Phantom Dancers to abuse Dodge before that was removed/reworked.
Master Yi will always be my favorite champ to play. He was also the champ that got me interested into League as a whole. I do hope his LoR version becomes an ASU for Yi in LoL that would be great
I myself played a lot of master yi when I first got into the game (albeit still an adult) and I mostly played him because he was easy to pilot. There’s no changing weapons, there’s no grabbing your axes before they fall, there’s no managing a bunch of sand soldiers, it’s just run in, press buttons, and click on the enemy. Admittedly, it is still pretty unhealthy, especially for Smurfs abusing low elo skill sets and mentalities, but he still essentially taught me to play league, which I will always be grateful for
My Yi phase was when Project Yi launched and I ended up loving the skin, them I played like 6-7 games, feed a lot, got sad with the chat in those games and never touched Yi again in SR
As a Yi main for the past 12 years, I strongly disagree with the video title. But I will say that no Yi skin has ever come close to looking as good as Project: Yi and I wish we got a chroma for it back in 2019 when Lucian and Zed got theirs. Also Leona's project skin would look sick in those colors as well. As for the champion itself, the rework did absolute wonders to his kit. His playstyle is good and has some fantastic counterplay options that can really make people go "wtf Yi can win that" more often than you'd think.
Yi main here, do you know how loong i have waited for this? Anyways, Master Yi is such a cool concept and such a cool and awesome character and his voicelines can just be straight up advice at times "anger gives motivation without purpose" but all he gets reduced to is HEHEHE MASTER Q HAHAHAGAH LMAO ROFL And i hate it. There are so many small yet important things you can and SHOULD do to maximize your gameplay but no one cares for the details all they see is stupid q man. I want to love yi, i love his character i love his lore and he has some of the coolest skins. But it all gets lost underneath his gameplay and base design. I honestly think TBSkyen said it best, (heavy paraphrasing incoming) "he looks like he's from a 90's children's cartoon called Ultrasword man and the package says batteries not included" and for yi, his gameplay DOESN'T save him. I'd love to Continue to OTP Yi but, he is just... A stale piece of bread. I have started learning and having fun with champs like Azir, Gangplank, Pyke and Sejuani, because they all have the Same cool upsides of yi, and their gameplay isn't seen as "Noob no skill press q and run them" wich unfortunately after a certain point in the game, it just is. In conclusion: i love yi, and want to main him, but his gameplay is toast that was put into a box after toasting and is all Soggy now
I never went through a Master ShYit phase. And I'm someone that likes almost all of the auto-attack heavy champions ( I literally cried when old Aatrox got basically deleted from the game). But him, Trundle and Tryndamere...yeah, they're way too boring for me.
Man Lor's yi redesign is so perfect, i wish that was in league pc While i udnerstand yi's gameplay is suppose to be simple...................gosh the amount of master yi who ruined matches cuz they got fed are....quie a lot
I despise the helmet so bad, it triggers my trypophobia, I hate it I hate it I hate it. I was so glad at first when I saw the LoR redesign cause he didn't have an helmet and I thought they finally ditched it and I was upset when I saw it on the side of him
Master Yi is one of the champs along with Teemo and Garen that I just absolutely refuse to play. I can appreciate the simplicity of the champs, but I also find them completely insufferable as they exist in game.
I still wholeheartedly believe that Teemo should be removed from the game, even though that would never happen because he’s basically League’s mascot. No champion should exist who forces your entire team to buy sweepers.
I don't wanna be that guy who puts a 2 at the end of a successful anything. But if Riot made a League of Legends 2 with a brand new, more modern engine that can bring out these characters detail in the forefront, then every criticism about "how these models look like shit compared to their official art" will literally disappear.
I will say this about milio before we get there: His faux definitely not south american thing really bothers me. Like it is one thing to be inspired by such things but it really ruins my immersion when Milio is so hard ripped from our world and plastered into runeterra. What really sets me down that line of thinking is things like “thanks feumigos”. Like goodness milio could they have not thought any harder about the lines they gave you?
the irony that his name is a pun on 'mastery' when his gameplay revolves around running at people and pressing q
Hey, he is very balanced.
If he mashes E and randomly press W he always wins.
But if he doesn't use those then he only wins most of the time.
A man who masters the Alpha Strike is untouchable.
i feel very stupid for not getting this pun until now
Ikr, for someone all about discipline, the playstyle is very wreckless.
My favorite part of casual champion reviews is seeing Nicky's team argue the entire game
ashe and morgana bickering in the backround just for the enemy team to say "canyon jungle gap" at the end while nicky isn't even tryharding is the most league thing ever
Riot: "Noxians aren't pure evil."
Noxus to Wuju: *chemical nuke*.

as one of the like... 5 master yi mains in master on euw, i have never grown out of my "yi-phase"

Teach me the way ^~^

I need Syndra, Karma, and Yi in a book club
I'm loving the ADC mentality going on with this ashe throughout the game
Support Dilemma:
Don't secure the kill and die due to overextending.
Secure the kill, your ADC has lost all trust and refuses to work with you.
i almost became a master yi main aswell... until i saw rammus and skarner and then instantly dropped him lmao
Rammus is only a problem until you realize you can simply choose not to fight him. Be smart about your engagements and he rarely gets a chance to taunt you - and by the time his taunt is leveled high enough to matter, you most likely already have Merc Treads and Wit's End to cut the duration in half and make him regret buying armor.

I love master yi's design and i will stand by that forever. Seeing him was literally how i found out about league and why I started playing
yea i dont know what hes smoking but those googles on his mask is cool AF
I do agree on that Master Yo phase. Probably the first (or one of the first) champions I've got Mastery 5 (in the old Mastery system, back in like 2015-2016)
As someone near New York, NY
New York should 100% be classified as a fighting style
It's where you throw rats at your opponent
Just like how the Wafflehouse fighting style is flipping tables.
I started playing 10 years ago, but today I just learned that Yi wears swords on his boots
You never watched "pro as heck guide to master yi"?
I thought everyone old enough would've watched it
I guess that's why Hwei is so sympathetic to Yi. They have a very similar backstory.
Time would stop for nothing.
Then came Casual Champion Review.
The reason why you use w and insta cancel is because it is an auto attack reset not for the damage reduction
this episode gave me so many heart attacks, every time you freeze I think its my pc
0:22 ...yeah, same. The Splinter Cell Swordsman just looked so cool to younglings like me.
Way back in S2, I think I was stacking multiple Phantom Dancers to abuse Dodge before that was removed/reworked.
I'll keep saying this: for ionia being 'the land of balance' every fucking champ from there is either broken or unbalanced
Yi isn't different
Played the game since S3, but never had a Yi phase. I was always drawn to mages. I'll have you know I _love_ playing Malzahar
To me, his LOR deisgn most resembles a mantis which i ADORE
16:44 "I WAS IN APLHA-!!" takes me back 😂😅
Master Yi will always be my favorite champ to play. He was also the champ that got me interested into League as a whole.
I do hope his LoR version becomes an ASU for Yi in LoL that would be great
you and me both bruv
"And his parents were very proud" OH they are SO dead like OBITUARY is WRITTEN and GRAVESTONES COMMISSIONED
lore fun facts : Yi helmet and wukongs staff was Created By Doran, Who also created the Doran's blade, shield, and ring (The starting items).
Ah yes, long awaited Master Q video!
The longsword thing was so real tho
When you called him Mister Yi I imagined him doing the Mr Beast meme pose
I support the longsword slander
Back in the day, we joked that Master Yi had swords in his boots because he was cutting the wind around him to reduce draft so he could run faster.
I myself played a lot of master yi when I first got into the game (albeit still an adult) and I mostly played him because he was easy to pilot. There’s no changing weapons, there’s no grabbing your axes before they fall, there’s no managing a bunch of sand soldiers, it’s just run in, press buttons, and click on the enemy.

I usually go for Yi if I'm on smooth brain mode and not wanting to play someone complicated that requires lots of brain juice.
My Yi phase was when Project Yi launched and I ended up loving the skin, them I played like 6-7 games, feed a lot, got sad with the chat in those games and never touched Yi again in SR
Didn’t bring up his old model with the traffic cone boots? That’s a classic!
Equating Yi to LS kinda made it click for me in a new way lmao
My Yi phase was during Feral Flare meta. That shit was not okay lmao
Man i just hopped back into monster hunter world this week and that comparison at 15:25 cant be more accurate.
I’d like to imagine yi just gave wukong a random stick and said “oh yes, this is a magic staff!”
New league players do one of three things; they have a yi phase, a garen phase, and/or a teemo phase
As a Yi main for the past 12 years, I strongly disagree with the video title.

I miss AP Yi tho 😢
Master Yi is so good at fighting he does all the work for you :)
I think it's time for Wujhin
I'm upset about the naming convention thing which i just learnt about because the wu in Wuju（无极） is clearly not the wu in Wukong (悟空）
oh goodie, he said the line
My main problem with Yi is the boots. Otherwise I don't really have a problem.
Also in LoR he's still heavily armored.
0:45 That art at the bottom left is so cute... so many eyes 👁👁👁👁👄👁👁👁👁
do people forget that yi had a SKIN "Ionian Yi"
I played Master Yi as my first champs in 2014 (Went ADC Yi) got flamed for it but i just played for fun.
If you ever do play yi again, they updated his q to apply on hit, so his true damage applies and also doesn’t decay while in q. No hate love you
Master Yi overhere giving nomes like John Wukong
I have never played a full game of Master Yi even thought ive played this game for 10 years…
I am so bad with squishy, melee fighters
Yi main here, do you know how loong i have waited for this?
Anyways, Master Yi is such a cool concept and such a cool and awesome character and his voicelines can just be straight up advice at times "anger gives motivation without purpose" but all he gets reduced to is HEHEHE MASTER Q HAHAHAGAH LMAO ROFL

In conclusion: i love yi, and want to main him, but his gameplay is toast that was put into a box after toasting and is all Soggy now
I wish Yi trained someone named Tan. That would be perfect
Bug eyed sword mcgee time
master yi is my highest mastery point for some reason..when i barely play him
"I was in alpha" - every master yi ever

>everyone has a yi phase
>b-but his design is bad guys!!!
I am proud that i have 0 mastery point on Master Yi and Teemo
Wish Zhonyas was 2600. Its like 3250 i believe

Yi basically just has a better Braum passive. Rather than every 4 hits causing a stun every time Yi gets 4 hits he applies Death for 20 seconds.
Didn't Doran make Wukongs staff?
Yeah. It was Doran
15:22
I'm a longsword main, and have played Master Yi. Honestly, I couldn't agree more with that statement.
