Master Yi General information
Master Yi tips and tricks
When laning against ranged champions, try and limit how much chip damage you take from them via auto-attacks.
Use your Q to dodge incoming skill shots and CC by enemy laners. You can also use your Q to dodge tower shots as well.
Keeping the wave closer to your side of the lane in the very early game will allow you to pick up farm and potentially all-in the enemy. If you’re constantly pushing, you will find it hard to all-in an enemy.
