Im going to say something that hasnt been said already.

Learn champions that are the opposite of your favorite role. I used to main AP Mid and also play against the Meta taking Orianna bottom and top. If you can believe i solo'd top against a Rammus/Malphite combo AND got fed from that plus no jungle support then that should give you an idea and im not lying. The malphite was damn good, the rammus not so much but he wasnt horrid, just not as good as that malph. I also used to main Cassiopeia mid i always ended with a KDA ratio of about 3:1:2 same with Malzahar and Katarina. I then tried Teemo near the end of my AP days......Teemo changed everything about me. He turned me from a AP Mid and Top monster that could carry no matter the score to a Jack of all trades who can play any and every role efficiently enough to be a viable member of a team. Im not being cocky, arrogant or over-exaggerating. I can now play ADC well enough to carry, and top bruisers like Wukong, Jax, and Volibear with around if not the same KDA ratio as my AP mid's. I dont play for kills i play for the win and the excitement of risking defeat. If fucking TEEMO can turn me from one role and sucking at all others, to playing ALL roles decently, then i would suggest doing the same for you. Pick a champion that doesnt use the same mechanics as AP Yi or attempt to play against the meta as i did. Learn EVERYTHING about every role and learn the tricks of laning them. I would suggest going from mid to Solo Top and playing champs like Jax, Darius or Malphite with a passive/aggressive nature. (punish them for farming aka deny and freeze your lane) I am not a bad player nor am i friggin Doublelift but i know what im talking about i I know how to play LoL, listen to good ideas. Funny that your playing AP Yi Mid in Ranked but tolerating all the flame. Iv been following your posts about him and there pretty entertaining.
