Talk:Master Yi/@comment-7619298-20130710213434

I kinda understand now, what Riot meant, when they said that they wanted to merge ap and ad Yi.

Master Yi feels like an assassin now and Sword of the Divine seems to crit on his Q without consuming the three auto attacks. Basically you can activate SotD, use Q (will crit), aa three times and then you get a double strike proc on top of that. All of that damage takes roughly a second to pull off.

I like this build for now: Boots, Maw (up to 95 ad), Last Whisper, Sword of the Divine, Infinity Edge (don't know if the crit damage scales with his Q) and Randuin's Omen. He plays like an AD version of Katarina and it's super rewarding to play, because you spam Q like AP Yi would and still do all the insane damage. So he transitioned into an ad caster more like Fiora, but way more badass.

Life Steal is not needed, get Life Steal Quints or skip IE if you really want it.

W sucks early game and leving it up doesn't make it much better (it becomes a mana hog). W should only be used to lessen the impact of a nuke combo, it's not worth it to use it for sustaining yourself like on old Yi.
