NEW ITEMS ON MASTER YI - THIS 100% NEEDS TO BE NERFED

Join us as we take a look at the new items from patch 8.11 on Master Yi.

How will the new Essence Reaver hold up in comparison to Warrior? And why is the Stormrazor a much better item than we initially expected? Find out right here in Cowsep's latest item guide for Master Yi.

Also, be sure to stick around until the end for some sick gameplay with the new items.

I love Master Yi and Master Yi loves you.

PPL are asking why I'm not rushing Essence Reaver lately.

If I don't have 1300 gold its REALLY hard to rush it so I typically go:

JUNGLE ITEM ---> GUINSOOS ---> ESSENCE

Stop asking me pls :<

I swear the Cowsep doing patch reviews and the Cowsep playing in game are two completely different individuals. 😂

I love Deaths Dance at the end of this build. Makes your survivability through the roof for those great 1v9 plays!

[LoLSlowMotions]

dude your patch/item analysis is on point

[selim]

great video,
i got a question, with this build are you just farming the jungle monsters (maybe counter jungling) or are trying to get kills?

[blop-a-blop]

I love an expert guide that tells you "build whatever you want here", honestly, because people tend to want to not think at all, copying what they think is THE BEST instead of adapting to a situation and being tolerant with other people building differently ...

When I played coupbde grace on yi last days it dealt 600 dmg on 35 min game

So I felt it is bad so I tried last stand and last stand did 900 dmg in 30 min

[ardgeighw]

Cowsep, your pronunciation here of "coup de grace" is correct. Keep up the great videos! Don't get tilted!

[Koski_Sampo]

I did some testing on sandbox and it seems like you need full rageblade stacks, essence flare, and at least 3 alpha targets for your Stormrazor to activate during alpha with ER/Rageblade/Stormrazor. Just an FYI for whoever is planning on playing yi

[Televisionary]

Hey cowsep, could you maybe go over master Yi matchups currently at lvls 1-3 and 6? Or just in general? Not sure who to fight and who to avoid. Thanks! Also is red to gank still good strat or just farm right now?

[RealLeskot]

Nice, i was looking foward to this!
Ill definitely try your setup but i still prefer lethal tempo over conqueror, and PD over stormrazor.

BLUE BUILD YI

BLUE RAZOR
ESSENCE
MERCURY BOOTS
STORMRAGE
PHANTOM
BORK

[WolfbrotherCOTW]

Hey man, I found a simple solution to hard pronunciation of the dreaded Coup de Grace:
simply take Last Stand, I did test it in more than several games and result is quite satisfactory, you get extra damage in early and mid game fights when it matters the most and, what is more important, end game rune summary shows me that Last Stand deals 60-140% more damage in total than Coup de Grace.

I've tried another version of basically the same build i just go: machete into red smite + 2 long swords and then just do the same because in early fight i kinda like to have the red smite etc but all said and done, really great video :)

[KingBeHumble]

the cooldown alpha strike gives me flashbacks to the original AP Yi... it still haunts me to this day

[ashninan]

Cowsep..!!! u r Aweswp..!!!! i love u man..!!! big fan..!!! i just dropped a msg to u in youtube community, requesting to make this video..!!! i know, theres a lot of people who might have requested..!!! but still... thanks a bunch.!! u r life saver.!

[walidbarkia]

@cowsep what do u think if we fuse this build with dark harvest especially when ur against squishy target such as vayne and tristana and the enemy team does not have tank?else gud vedio keep going :)

[SpeTheof]

Hey cowsep, about the machete, before going essence reaver, its good to upgrade to the next small item, stalkers blade, or skirmishers, because you will lose a lot jungle exp, so instead of a bf sword, maybe the 2 long swords and a skirmisher should be better, then rush the essence reaver

[KleinKirby]

heyho, does the item build work out for jax as well or do you go some other items / runes on him? ty =)

[MichaelAngelo-zktu]

I was watching another streamer using the new ER on a diffdrent champ a few weeks back... and all I ever thought about was "imagine this item on cowsep's yi"
And now here it is... R.I.P. everyone else...
