Talk:Master Yi/@comment-5211662-20150421195048

I've decided to try bruiser Yi after I saw the comments and my opinion is: It isn't all that great. He has an extremely good mid game spike and if he manages to snowball he is even harder to stop than assassin Yi because he is tanky.

However you MUST finish the game qickly, otherwise he will start to fall off hard because his damage will be low (when compared to assassin Yi) due to lack of crits and armor penetration. Also, he doesn't have good base stats to be a bruiser, neither he has good CC. At late game he becomes a mediocre bruiser with mediocre damage and mediocre tankyness, that is still vulnerable to CC.

If you plan to reach late game, just use assassin Yi. With critical damage, he scales very well into a late game killing machine. Yes he is squishy, but if you play him correctly, that should not be a problem.
