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 Rengar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from brush

    Stay away from brush in lane: from a brush, Unseen Predator (passive) lets him leap onto you with a single auto.

  2. Trade when his Ferocity is low

    Take a trade when his Ferocity is low: at max, his next spell is empowered, and Bola Strike (E) roots you instead of slowing you.

  3. Group up when he's hunting you

    Move closer to your allies as soon as an indicator appears over your head: Rengar is hunting you, camouflaged, with Thrill of the Hunt (R).
