"What can I say, the man likes his strikes. Maybe he's in a labor union?" DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. I'll go get the unions from the oven when you're done roasting them!
How to play jungle Master Yi: Farm, gank (take all the gank kills for yourselves), get fed, and buy crit and attack speed. To get kills, just press R-E-Q and then rightclick their carries.
man I remember when I first got into lol and really liked Yi, I tried to find a guide and yours was the best one around, thanks for the early guides Gen
(Note: This isn't meant to be rude, though people tend to take offense when corrected on the internet.) 3:40 Master Yi's goggles actually have nothing to do with the Wuju style, they were invented by Heimerdinger in order to increase the Dunkmaster's field-of-view. EDIT: I get now that it's a joke, so I suppose this isn't a correction, more of a interesting tidbit of info.
Build him statikk shiv, hydra, boots worth 1k, phantom dancer and plenty armor for armor. Thats my build in master yi, actualy im begginer in Lol im level 9 but im player of mobile legends and my level is 28. Try to play ml because it is much easier than lol and of your strong try now to play lol just like me
From my experience the new Bloodthirster is really good on him as a first big item. I go with AS reds and quits and then AS boots, and with that BT will deal *A LOT* more dmg than BotRK. Also, the shield is super useful, because due to your low base HP it's effectively 30% bonus health. And I find that life steal is the primary stat that keeps you alive in a teamfight, and the longer you will survive. And Bloodthirster gives you *a ton*. Plus, the extra 40% AS form BotRK isn't necessary, because with Phantom Dancer and ult, you will hit the AS cap and it will just be wasted.
Very nice again Gen, keep making these guides. Only one question, do you E before your Q or after for most damage? I watch Cowsep and Ryan Choi play Master Yi and both of them have said statik Shiv is not good for yi compared to other items. They both build botrk/ghostblade religiously (Cowsep plays him jungle so he gets a flare too). Then their builds deviate, and Cowsep builds GA, i assume because he already has 3 big damage items. Ryan Choi normally goes for a phage to help him stick to targets with the move speed on hit, and then goes GA or Tanky. Either way, neither seem to like to go any more than 3 damage items on him. That's just my observation of some challenger players though, just thought it was worth mentioning
Well then I stand corrected good sir, I haven't watched him in a good 2 months, but from memory he said it was a waste of gold. Then again things change. Anyways loved the guide
Gen Doukeshi Very unrelated but, I just love the amount of effort that goes into work. Its clear you put your heart and soul into these videos. Love it!
Hey Gen? Can you do a guide on the new Sona? It doesn't have to be right away, but you did a reworked Heimerdinger guide so the Sona guide might need updating.
And for the jungle, modern day, I go devourer, gank some, but not too much until lvl 6 so you can make sure you get them and make sure you have red buff because you have no slows or CC. Stack devourer as fast as possible, spend most of your time in the jungle, just clearing it, gettin em stacks, gotta get sated. Second item is always berserker's greaves, unless you are 4 levels behind the lowest leveled enemy, get those boots. Next get a blade of the ruined king. now you have about 100% extra attack speed from items, Bork is somewhat cheap, and if you just farm the jungle, you can get it super easily. Once you have that, ganks are not a problem. Just ult into lane, MAKE SURE TO HAVE RED BUFF, then just keep on them. You will easily destroy them. After Bork, get a ravenous hydra, you need that lifesteal and damage. It will massively increase your waveclear and damage so you can get sated devourer even faster if you don't already have that. (try to get sated devourer before getting ravenous, farm the shit out of all the jungles and DONT DIE, gank only when needed but just farm and get em stacks.) After ravenous, you should already be destroying anyone that comes your way, just ult and kill them, I got my 3rd pentakill as him with only a Bork, berserker's, and sated devourer, you deal so much damage like that. But for your 4th item it can be statik shiv, bloodthirster or phantom dancer, whichever, I prefer statik because even more AOE damage, crit chance and movespeed steroid, also you get EVEN MORE ATTACK SPEED, now you have like, 2.soemthin attacks a second which is insane. with only boots and statik shiv you already have 422 movespeed. Its insane. But yeah, I haven't gotten much further than the current build, the game usually ends before that lol. But next item just plainly depends on the enemy team, bloodthirster if you are getting focused and cant regen enough health to keep up, Infinity edge if you just arent killing them fast enough or last whisper if they decide to build a cloth armor. And that is it. you can also replace statik shiv for Infinity edge if you want late game but usually keep the shiv for attack speed
Meet Master Yi, the legendary master behind Highlanders and philosophy. At first I only thought he was a myth, but don't be fooled, he is not a myth. Yi was honing his very skills when you were not even born. He still is. The master would strike with unstoppable force and still cite his philosophy calmly amidst the action. Make no mistake, the master behind the blade is as cool as they come. Get to his wrong side and he will strike you down with his calm rage and won't feel pity a one bit. To him you are just another enemy. Like the monsters in the jungle.
"If he get's caught, he's as good as dead" You'd be surprised how much shit you can get out of by pulling your Ult and Ghost with good boots (usually berzerker graves) and getting upwards of like 500 speed in the late game
How to Yi = Press R. Next Press Q on the squishiest enemy champion. After your Q ends press E. Q every chance you get. What about W you may be asking? Don't worry about W You're Master No Skill. You won't need it. (My guide to this champion xD)
I always go full damage when i play Master Yi, in masteries and Runes. The things i buy is 1. Boots with attack speed. 2 phantom dancer (speed and walk through minions) 3. Infinity edge. 4 ravenous hydra. And kings blade. If pur team fed them early on i usually sell the boots and buy an thornmail (100 armor and damage dealt back to enemy think its 30% or something) :p and i love the assassin skin!
I can summarize your guide in just the comment section of your video: 1. Buy yi- 2. Have a keyboard 3. Have a mouse 4. Drag mouse over enemy 5. Left click and repeatedly click q,w,e,r for a godly combo Next up, Akali!
Sorry for the delayed reply. With the new jungle, I'd start with the Krugs! That stun on top of your attack speed is super useful. Take red afterwards and roll from there.
Gen I've started recently to build Trinity force on Yi his auto attacks do an insane amount of damage with the sheen proc from his q plus the passive from phage give him a nice speed boost to add to his ult and if you feel like it the furor enchantments on his boots stack with the phage passive essentially I turn on my ult and yomuus ghost blade and I am flying across any team fight. What do you think of my build?
A lot of master Yi's strategy depends on the enemies running away and trying to catch them. But whenever, I play him, no one runs away. How do you deal with this?
It's true that timing your meditate and alpha strikes are importants but he can snowball so well that it takes very few reflexes precision or tactics in general to have a good score with a yi
SAM HAM I've found that taking a yoummu's ghostblade as a first item will usually snowball you into victory as it's cheap and easy to attain while still adding all the stats you want as well as giving you an activate-able that you can use to increase movement and attack speed. It is a must-have and I typically never go a game without it
I love the small pieces of humor in this video! xD Also: I was wrong about the mean comments. (do you remember that, Gen?) I hope you will forgive me ;)
I play master yi with pure ad in mind. This set up is very similar to mine but personally for me I think a bloodthirster would be a safe investment. But hey that's just me
"If yi is such a simple champ he should be simple to beat"- NA Summoner Nezol Feel free to message Nezol and tell him your thoughts on this difficult champ that takes much skill to master.
+jasmine wong Immediately after hitting with a double strike, you can cast Meditate and immediately cancel it to get another attack in much faster than if you were to just let him do another basic attack. That'll let you hit 3 times really fast for a big burst of damage.
i tried in dint work .okay so how is work is after activating the wuju blade which means double strike i can press meditate then cacle it immediately for master yi basic attack will attack faster?If so why is this so is this statement stated on lol itself?
This is my yi build:D 1.statik shiv 2.infinity edge 3.phantom dancer 4.berserker's greaves 5.blood thirster 6.ravenous hydra or guardian angel or blade of the ruined king
I'm kind of just now starting to get okay with Yi, but I don't see how someone can do a Yi build without Youmuu's. It just seems way too good to pass up. Can you explain why you don't get it?
"Likes his strikes, maybe hes in the labors union" absolutely dead
does he mean how to "Master Yi" or how to master "Yi" :D
+Sami Salami wtf my head just exploded
+Owen Bartrop ^^
+Sami Salami how to master master yi
+Sami Salami how to master bate
+jasmine wong I know Master Bate he's my Senpai!!

Instructions very clear, went 32/4/3 in blind pick.
You “req” the enemies
These are awesome guides. They helped a scrub like me carry a team with a Wukong and basically main him. This guy knows what's up.
man I remember when I first got into lol and really liked Yi, I tried to find a guide and yours was the best one around, thanks for the early guides Gen
its actualy quite useful for even 2020 great joob

I even took notes. First champ I bought
+Hyber blue me too
+Zifer he was the first i played
same
+Hyber blue, I started playing LoL like 2 days ago and i had no clue which champion to buy first... And i bought Master Yi
+Krazy Good choice! Have fun~
The guide is detailed and good but still.hard for me as a beginner to understand (only the items part)
Me too :)
Build him statikk shiv, hydra, boots worth 1k, phantom dancer and plenty armor for armor. Thats my build in master yi, actualy im begginer in Lol im level 9 but im player of mobile legends and my level is 28. Try to play ml because it is much easier than lol and of your strong try now to play lol just like me
M Jewel it’s been 4 now
Same
Same lol
6:38 Am i the only one that noticed SANIC THE HEDGEHAG? :P
Wow, blown away! So detailed and good! You got my like and deserved it.
Ah Gen I remember when I was but a noob looking for champion guides. I found your channel. Just to say ty for all your guides
Great guide! Thanks, Gen!
Never come across such a detailed guide.. Thanks 👊🏻
Really helpful video, thanks for making these!
Really helpful tips. Thanks for the video!
meditating on life, the meaning of the universe, and... wondering did he forget to turn the oven off... lost my shit here
I love Master Yi!
10:49 Favorite Clip!
I know this is 2 years ago...BUT MAAAAN, THANK YOU, from 0/7/4 to 20+/5+/1+....And thanks to you, I got my first S yesterday.
Awesome video Gen :D love master yi
"And goggles. Lots of goggles."
This ain't no Digimon!
This will help beginners alot!
Nice guide
Gen, is there any chance that you'd make whole new videos about the new "How to" for seasson 5?
Before I saw the duration of this video I really thought it would just be "Press Q. GG. The End."
wasn't it tho
This is very helpful thank you
thanks man, really helped!
From my experience the new Bloodthirster is really good on him as a first big item. I go with AS reds and quits and then AS boots, and with that BT will deal *A LOT* more dmg than BotRK.
Also, the shield is super useful, because due to your low base HP it's effectively 30% bonus health. And I find that life steal is the primary stat that keeps you alive in a teamfight, and the longer you will survive. And Bloodthirster gives you *a ton*.
Plus, the extra 40% AS form BotRK isn't necessary, because with Phantom Dancer and ult, you will hit the AS cap and it will just be wasted.
great guide!
This was uploaded on my birthday!
I may be a slayer with Master Yi, but I still learned a lot from you. Thanks for the guide
:-D. I just don't know how set set the Runes yet.
Attack speed , magic resist , then damage = works nicely on yi
Awesome vids :D I love them!
I was like damn I don't like watching old videos of games that update a lot, so I checked the date, gg couple days ago :D
1.20 "What can i say? Man likes to strike." Oh i saw what u did there gen. Hee hee hee.
this video turned me from an OK yi to a gank master supreme
Very nice again Gen, keep making these guides. Only one question, do you E before your Q or after for most damage?

That's just my observation of some challenger players though, just thought it was worth mentioning
Really? Cause I've been watching a lot of Cowsep this past week and there's a lot of Statikk Shiving going on. (E after Q btw)
Well then I stand corrected good sir, I haven't watched him in a good 2 months, but from memory he said it was a waste of gold. Then again things change. Anyways loved the guide
Gen Doukeshi Very unrelated but, I just love the amount of effort that goes into work. Its clear you put your heart and soul into these videos. Love it!
I like smite and exhaust on yi cuz it makes it really easy to gank and snowball you and the lanes early game with him
my friend did not understand a word you said and i was like omfg
I'm new to the game and I like these videos. You've helped me improve thanks!
Can you make one of these for jinx?
This guide helped me a ton, so thanks. any chance you could do evelynn, youre gudes are the best I can find.
Hey Gen? Can you do a guide on the new Sona? It doesn't have to be right away, but you did a reworked Heimerdinger guide so the Sona guide might need updating.
Could you make one on Tryndamere or whatever his face is? Thanks bro, this is great.
i watched dis once and im now a pro thx gen

Axe will be angry if there is another dunkmaster.
I like playing yi as a bruiser.
Item build: ravenous hydra, thornmail, blade of ruined, berserkers, phantom dancer, randuins.
"If he get's caught, he's as good as dead" You'd be surprised how much shit you can get out of by pulling your Ult and Ghost with good boots (usually berzerker graves) and getting upwards of like 500 speed in the late game
this is an amazing vid :D
This video helped me a lot. Before i whoud have 6 or7 kills. Now i have 15 or 16 kills
Beautiful and very useful> SUBSCRIBED

I can summarize your guide in just the comment section of your video:
1. Buy yi-
2. Have a keyboard
3. Have a mouse
4. Drag mouse over enemy
5. Left click and repeatedly click q,w,e,r for a godly combo
Next up, Akali!

I think this will be a good tip: always q to avoid teemos blinding dart.
4:37 And his name is Darius!
Thanks for the vid. Just picking up Yi and jungle all together. What order would you clear jungle?
Sorry for the delayed reply. With the new jungle, I'd start with the Krugs! That stun on top of your attack speed is super useful. Take red afterwards and roll from there.

Can you make a guid or a game play for katarina? thx :D btw nice video
A lot of master Yi's strategy depends on the enemies running away and trying to catch them. But whenever, I play him, no one runs away. How do you deal with this?
Gen can you make how to Rengar next :)
at 33 seconds in the video what skin art is that you are using?
i use yi offten and he is really good for crowd control and also getting double and triple kills! i went 18/3/5 with him once

Let's learn How to Master Yi!

Same
CJ Emmanuel Rocena Garen will be perfect for you guys, is easy and needs no mana.
Please re-update the masteries have changed. And i need to reamp up on my strategy im a bit rusty.Thank you peace, love, and happiness.
How to master yi: R - Q - RightClick........Pentakill
False.
Totaly true master yi is a fucking noob champ that should be removed from the game
Jelle Mooij Sounds like someone lost to a Yi recently.
It's true that timing your meditate and alpha strikes are importants but he can snowball so well that it takes very few reflexes precision or tactics in general to have a good score with a yi
OMG MAN THANK YOU I DID A QUADRA WITH THIS GUIDE HOLY SHIT XD
Gen can you make a how to Singed?
Gen I like building trinity force on yi. Any thoughts?
What things should i but when playing as yi to get a lot of attack speed, movement speed and attack damage ?
SAM HAM I've found that taking a yoummu's ghostblade as a first item will usually snowball you into victory as it's cheap and easy to attain while still adding all the stats you want as well as giving you an activate-able that you can use to increase movement and attack speed. It is a must-have and I typically never go a game without it
This is really can help me tanx
Very helpfull
thanks
Nice move
I love the small pieces of humor in this video! xD
Also: I was wrong about the mean comments. (do you remember that, Gen?)
I hope you will forgive me ;)
6:24 how did he get full attack speed? I checked the Runes in the Shop only the three big and bronze runes are attack speed the rest are not
+Dr.Z Attack speed glyphs and seals are not available at tier 1 or 2. You need tier 3 runes (level 21) to be allowed to get them all.
He is my favorite character
Which lane would you recommend for yi? A friend recommended top, but I just want to be sure.
yi is my favorite
I play master yi with pure ad in mind. This set up is very similar to mine but personally for me I think a bloodthirster would be a safe investment. But hey that's just me
What is this better champion spotlight?
thanks! Now i can master ''yi''
"If yi is such a simple champ he should be simple to beat"- NA Summoner Nezol
Feel free to message Nezol and tell him your thoughts on this difficult champ that takes much skill to master.
can someone plz at explain 11:27 ? what about the attack timer and meditate?i dont get what he is saying about the three strikes or something.
+jasmine wong Immediately after hitting with a double strike, you can cast Meditate and immediately cancel it to get another attack in much faster than if you were to just let him do another basic attack. That'll let you hit 3 times really fast for a big burst of damage.
does it still work?in season 6
and after activating my meditate i need to cancle it or can i just wait for my health to be regenerated?
i do appreciate for replying me tho
+jasmine wong Yes, all of his skills still work the same. :)
i tried in dint work .okay so how is work is after activating the wuju blade which means double strike i can press meditate then cacle it immediately for master yi basic attack will attack faster?If so why is this so is this statement stated on lol itself?
i cant hear very well what are the items again both to start and to build to?
at 8:17 some guy said "my and sona are fucking shhhh."
Love it
This is my yi build:D
1.statik shiv
2.infinity edge
3.phantom dancer
4.berserker's greaves
5.blood thirster
6.ravenous hydra or guardian angel or blade of the ruined king
I'm kind of just now starting to get okay with Yi, but I don't see how someone can do a Yi build without Youmuu's. It just seems way too good to pass up. Can you explain why you don't get it?
