Playing as Master Yi

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Dodge with Alpha Strike

    Cast Alpha Strike (Q) to dodge a spell or a burst: you're untargetable during the strike, and your autos lower its cooldown.

  2. Meditate to tank damage

    Cast Meditate (W) to tank a burst mid-teamfight: you take less damage, heal more at low health, and the time left on Highlander (R) is paused.

  3. Activate Highlander to chase

    Activate Highlander (R) to chase: you gain move speed and attack speed, and slows no longer affect you.

  4. Chain your kills

    Chain kills in teamfights: each takedown lowers the remaining cooldown of your basic spells, and extends Highlander (R) if it's active.

Playing against Jayce

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch for the orb behind his gate

    When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.

  2. Back off when he goes hammer

    If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.

  3. Engage after his Thundering Blow

    Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
