Intro
Hello guys! My name is Martin but on the internet you can find me under my nickname "Mrskillmob".
"Let us begin."
I have over 600k mastery points on Yi and I've been playing him for over 3 seasons now. I I used to be an OTP but nowadays I play other champs too. (Viego,Diana,Hecarim,Nocturne,Morgana,Wukong,Poppy) <- 20games+ champs.
"I will show you the path." I have multiple accounts on both EUNE and EUW server. But you can find my main under "lilafrican69" I started playing league at season 7 and started playing soloq in season 8. My peak rank is plat 2 with roughly 400games and 57%wr.
Why Master Yi?
Pros:
- Easy to pick up.
- Hard to counter jungle due to fast clear and good dueling potential.
- Good at contesting objectives. Early solo drakes and herald. Solo baron potential later.
Cons:
- Worse at higher elos. People know how to counter and focus him. Vulnerable to CC comps.
- Low outplay potential.
- Tends to get outganked by other Junglers.
"A true master is an eternal student."
