Master Yi

How to Play Properly


In order to maximize the potential of Master Yi take the safe route of jungling. Clear [Red Buff] - [Krugs] - [Raptors]- [Scuttler] in Bottom - [Wolf] - [Blue Buff]- [Gromp].

This jungle pathing will enable you to gain lvl. 5 after that you can go gank enemy lanes or if the enemy didn't take the nearest scuttler (the Blue Buff scuttler) you can contest it.

When to [Smite]?

In this path be sure to use [smite] with this camps: [Krugs] for the [Red Buff] area and [Gromp] in [Blue Buff] area. But make sure also to use [Smite] on [Dragon], [Rift Herald], [Baron] and contested camps.


Have fun and be unstoppable!
