I feel like the extra clear on noonquiver is rarely worth rushing it. I think BotRK has stronger fighting components, quicker power spike, and BotRK makes ganks and duels possible that are never possible with Kraken components and rarely possible with Kraken completed. I'm also fairly certain BoTRK+RB beats Kraken+BotRK every time in every situation (and it's a lot cheaper).

BotRK rush also lets you delay committing to a build if things change/certain people get fed. Basically it feels really bad to delay BotRK after Kraken if you feel you need boots/wits/etc but rushing BotRK lets you transition into RB/Wits/Tabis/Mercs/etc without losing power since BotRK is so busted. Also BotRK just does way more damage than Kraken.

If your team is actually committed to safe play/farming Kraken rush helps with clear ofc but I feel like 99% of games diamond and below are heavily reliant on early game fights/ganks/invades.

@Cowsep u didn't talk enough about jgl pets. Why always green? Never go red or blue? If you go full damage, why don't go red for even more?

Hi buffalo, a build that i like to run on euw (last season atleast havent been using it recently) was
Runes: HOB, sudden impact, eyeball, treasur hunter/ingenius hunter + legend alacrity, Coup de grace/triumph (depending on if u wanna have more burst or a little more money + sustain) + attackspeed, dmg, hp
Items: going either noonquiver or serrated dirk -> Berserker greaves -> if u have enough money get galeforce and the dirk otherwise try to finish the item u got on first back and than start working on the second item (dirk gets build into collector) -> umbral glaive if they have like a shaco or similar otherwise IE or essence reaver depending on money and than starting to work on the other one.
Last item kinda up to u. I never rly let it come to the point where i would get that last item. And only used this build like u do with ur duskblade build vs a bunsh of ez targets (like in this video)
If u end uo trying it for ur self pls let me know how u liked it:)

What are the yi skin that feel best in game?

[thaitruong]

do you have any advices when against teemo?

[Claudioclaclo]

Love this content!! Maybe talk about jungle path (or did i missed it on the guide?)

댓글을 보실진 모르겠지만 몰왕이 바로나오면 몰왕을 올리고 돈이 바로 안모이면 크라켄을 가라는 소린가요??
그리고 정글링위주가 아닌 갱킹위주로 게임을 플레이하면 될까요??
최근 전적 보니 구인수말고 나보리를 올리시던데 연구중인 빌드이신가요??

[AlvaTheSpurned]

I’m really new to league and want to play Yi. Just watched the video and there’s a lot to digest here, thanks! I noticed you tapping meditate mid fight or mid jungle clear. Why do you tap it?

[celehreelifestyle]

Thank you for this video, always appreciate your content, keep it up master cow

[MrProcario]

Is it possible to run inspiration second instead of domination with future's market and cosmic insight?

[seandelier]

Wow when I was thinking how to play Yi again for not playing for like 5 years XD TY

[MalevolentLoki]

It's HERE!
Thanks for the guide Cowsep

[shinth]

would have loved to hear more thoughts on jaksho.. maybe better for newer players? im not so squishy anymore and can maybe do more qs?

[andrewpace]

Is the green smite pet modded to look like a Venusaur?

[neantdistordu]

I am always hard trying to play Master Yi, but most of the time it's the same scenario : I can't find a way to get early kills, I get invaded by the enemy jungler and his friends, I die or concede lots of camps, I fall behind, we lose, GG report jungler.

[OneOfTheLoveless]

Where can I get this patch for the pokemon?

[kenshin]

Crit Yi should be built with Navori. Its not better than on hit ofc but its way better than IE crit.

Why not heartstone? It procs with alpha, and with sunfire, rageblade and titanic, it also deals damage. It should work... right?
Is it because it needs a lot of scaling?

[mohamadalahmad]

What did he say about w it’s reset or something I didn’t quite got what he meant
