| − | [[File:Yi-Render.png|left|200px]]Keeper of the ancient art of Wuju, Master Yi is a mystical warrior from the [[Ionia|isle of Ionia]]. He descended from one of the few tribes dedicated to the preservation of Wuju, a martial art founded with the principles of absolute spiritual awareness of one's self and one's enemy. When the armies of [[Noxus]] invaded Ionia, Master Yi joined in the Ionian defense to fight the craven enemy, bringing his village honor through his unparalleled mastery of the blade. The ensuing battles ravaged the land, but no conflict inflicted as much horror as the day the armies of Noxus closed in on Yi's village. Left undefended, the village became the unfortunate test subject of the latest invention by an up-and-coming chemist, now known as {{ci|Singed}}. The remains of the village that Master Yi returned to were so horrific that it remains a festering scar on Ionian history. To this day, no Ionian will ever publicly speak of what occurred. |

| − | After the [[Noxian]] invasion was contained, Master Yi fell into a deep isolation. For years, he trained morning to night, speaking to no one and refusing offers of consolation by fellow Ionians. The only thing stopping him from madly charging into Noxus battle lines headfirst was his pledge to keep the Wuju style alive. Even though he seethed with impatience, his rage became a tool for sharpening his practice of Wuju, developing stronger and deadlier skills for his eventual vengeance. The only thing that roused him was news of the [[The League of Legends|League's]] formation, and Noxus's subsequent enrollment in the League. Master Yi now brings his mastery of the blade to [[the League of Legends]] with unflinching purpose: to avenge his kinfolk and end the predations of the Noxus once and for all. |

||
| − | The goggles Master Yi wears are a techmaturgical device that was gifted to the champion by [[Piltover|Piltover's]] own {{ci|Heimerdinger|Heimerdinger, the Revered Inventor}}. Master Yi first used these goggles when defending his homeland from Noxus invaders in the time after the League has just formed and before Ionia had affiliated itself with the League. The goggles are fitted specifically for Master Yi; while someone else may wear them, they won't receive anywhere near the same benefit as he does himself. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The one-of-a-kind goggles, known as the "Seven Lenses of Insight", allow Master Yi to see across a wider range of the spectrum than normal people see. They also give him abilities not dissimilar to that of real world binoculars and telescopes. The goggles are synced to Yi's own magical resonance, allowing him to adjust settings without the use of his hands. He simply thinks what he needs, and the goggles act accordingly.[http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=2929829#post2929829] |

||
| + | === Early Life === |
||
| + | Yi was born in the village of Wuju in the province of Bahrl in Ionia. His parents were swordsmiths and he longed to learn the ways of the sword after seeing warriors who carried blades with poems to their names enter his parents’ workshop. He spent the mornings sparring with his mother and his nights reciting poetry with his father. |
||
| + | Soon, he began to train under the Wuju masters. He surpassed all expectations and became known as the “Young Master” Yi. But he was always curious about the rest of Ionia. However, he was forbidden to leave the village with his blade because the Wuju sought to keep their swordsmanship a secret and believed it was too precious to draw blood. |
||
| − | [[File:Headhunteryi.jpg||right|thumb|275px|Headhunter Master Yi promo]]''Any League of Legends player will tell you that sometimes the jungle on Summoner’s Rift can be a dangerous place. In addition to all of those wolves and lizards and golems, if you’re not careful you might run into something like this lurking out there in the trees! |
||
| + | This all changed when Noxus invaded. Yi decided to forego the Wuju traditions in order to defend his homeland. He was like a one-man army, sweeping the outsiders with blinding swordplay. He then journeyed with some of his fellow disciples to Navori, a critical location in the war. |
||
| − | ''Allow me to introduce Headhunter Master Yi. Featuring some menacing new armor and brand new spell effects on both Alpha Strike and Wuju Style, this is one rendition of the Wuju Bladesman that you won’t want to run afoul of on a stroll through a wooded area. You may want to steer clear of the jungle for a while if you want to stay out of his trophy case! |
||
| + | The Noxians identified the Wuju as a threat that they could not ignore and used chemical attacks to destroy the village of Wuju. Yi returned the only surviving disciple, slain in spirit when he learned of what had happened to his home village. |

Yi has nurtured that connection by mastering the Wuju Style. |

||
| + | === {{cbi|Doran|Master Doran}} === |
||
| − | * {{ai|Alpha Strike|Master Yi}}: teleporting behavior improved to be more consistent when near walls. (this was removed in a hotfix because it caused Master Yi to always appear on the other side of the wall when using Alpha Strike on the blue golem) |

||
| + | == Trivia == |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.96]]:''' |
||
| + | * The fact that {{cbi|Wukong}} was trained under Master Yi is a possible reference to Sun Wukong's original master, {{w|Subhuti}}, or Wukong's more famous master during his pilgrimage to the West, the historical Chinese Buddhist pilgrim {{w|Xuanzang}}, who contributed greatly to the translation of Buddhist texts into Chinese, thus earning the byname {{w|Tripitaka}} त्रिपिटक (Mandarin: 三藏 ''Sānzàng''), after the Pali canon. |
||
| − | * Added a glow to {{csi|Master Yi|Chosen}} Master Yi's sword. |
||
| + | * In the initial lore, the Seven Lenses of Insight were fashioned by {{cbi|Heimerdinger}}. However, in the revised lore, credit for their creation goes to Master {{cbi|Doran}} of the [[Wuju]], a parallel mirrored in the crafting of {{cbis|Wukong}}'s staff by Doran. |

Master Yi
Master Yi has tempered his body and sharpened his mind, so that thought and action have become almost as one. Though he chooses to enter into violence only as a last resort, the grace and speed of his blade ensures resolution is always swift. As one of the last living practitioners of the 
Ionian art of Wuju, Yi has devoted his life to continuing the legacy of his people—scrutinizing potential new disciples with the Seven Lenses of Insight to identify the most worthy among them.

Background
Early Life
Yi was born in the village of Wuju in the province of Bahrl in Ionia. His parents were swordsmiths and he longed to learn the ways of the sword after seeing warriors who carried blades with poems to their names enter his parents’ workshop. He spent the mornings sparring with his mother and his nights reciting poetry with his father.
Soon, he began to train under the Wuju masters. He surpassed all expectations and became known as the “Young Master” Yi. But he was always curious about the rest of Ionia. However, he was forbidden to leave the village with his blade because the Wuju sought to keep their swordsmanship a secret and believed it was too precious to draw blood.
This all changed when Noxus invaded. Yi decided to forego the Wuju traditions in order to defend his homeland. He was like a one-man army, sweeping the outsiders with blinding swordplay. He then journeyed with some of his fellow disciples to Navori, a critical location in the war.
The Noxians identified the Wuju as a threat that they could not ignore and used chemical attacks to destroy the village of Wuju. Yi returned the only surviving disciple, slain in spirit when he learned of what had happened to his home village.

Appearance
Yi is a thin, agile man with tan skin and dark brown hair. He usually wears a goatee of varying lengths, sometimes long enough to be tied off at numerous points. There is a red rune seemingly tattooed on his forehead.
His slim-fitting armor typically features shades of silver, green, brown, and golden yellow. The most notable feature of his combat attire is a large helmet that covers his eyes with a cluster of seven greenish-yellow lenses.

Trivia
- The fact that Wukong was trained under Master Yi is a possible reference to Sun Wukong's original master, Subhuti, or Wukong's more famous master during his pilgrimage to the West, the historical Chinese Buddhist pilgrim Xuanzang, who contributed greatly to the translation of Buddhist texts into Chinese, thus earning the byname Tripitaka त्रिपिटक (Mandarin: 三藏 Sānzàng), after the Pali canon.
- In the initial lore, the Seven Lenses of Insight were fashioned by Heimerdinger. However, in the revised lore, credit for their creation goes to Master Doran of the Wuju, a parallel mirrored in the crafting of Wukong's's staff by Doran.
