I was playing veig and when i got my full build I didnt even need to use my combo to kill their swain.
All i had to do was Deathfire Grasp and Ult and he died. (Deathfire did like more than half his health lol!)

kill yourself

edit: new champ is kind of a strange thing. I've never once been bothered by her because of how I play (I don't rely on escape spells and I don't try particularly hard to kill champions if I can get other work done without them bothering me). People keep talking about how impossible she is to kill, especially for how much damage she does, but I don't chase her and she doesn't usually go after me because allies are always in more risky positions. Against 5 wallets, she might be totally useless.

I don't usually have much problem with her because she doesn't want to go near Heimer's mini rockets. :)

I've been playing more strange-ish builds when i'm in a duo lane with a friend (So they know my plan) And I just had an idea for a tanky-ish ap yi. Basically a sort of bait tank with meditate. And i'll probably rush frozen heart for the cooldown reduction and armor. So when they all attack me I sit there and take it and my team piles in. The build'll concentrate on resistance rather than health also because when you're actively tanking you want more resistance than buffer.

Haven't played Ahri yet. I usually wait until they are free before I try them out.

Complete fail against pros because they just ignore you, but amazing against lesser players. I do it on my smurf all the time for lulz.
Master Yi gets preposterously huge resists during meditate, and resists have diminishing returns (2 armor vs. 1 armor is less than 1 armor vs. 0 armor), so resists on Yi don't really do anything during meditate itself. The best way to play a meditank Yi is to max to -40% CDR, and spend the rest on AP and HP. If you go pure AP then you will end up wasting a lot of heals because your max HP isn't high enough to accommodate, and you also have less of a reserve to tank with your meditate resists if you get hit with a -heal effect. I cooked up a build that assumes nothing from the runes/masts which you can try out if you want. The final step is to combine shurelya's and get a deathcap. When baiting, shoot for about 50% hp; you have plenty of room in the bar for getting all of the heal out of meditate, and enough HP that the resists will be working to keep you alive even if you get ignited. If you don't think you can farm 14k in a typical game, swap out a rod for a haunting guise, but get that absolutely last.

I played a build focusing more on full AP with my friend on xin and the enemy definitely had the mindset of focusing me because of yi being an ad carry. I got focused every time in team fights and lived usually, letting xin tear through them. He got a quadra :D

Your build looks very focused on tank which is great. Something I definitely want to try. I've noticed any cc usually messes up the meditation though so massive cdr is a good idea like your build has and I'll probably roll with Cleanse. I have 22 mastery points so what would you recommend putting them into?

I'd like to get back into this, but I have basically no idea how to play DoTA/LoL

He is. He was the second champ i bought. He's best played in mid lane. Make sure you buy lots of mana items. (Rod of ages springs to mind)

Just bought 9 avarice seals and 2 more avarice quints, now I'm between +4.35 and +7.35 gold per 10 depending on rune/mast page.   The most concerning is losing my -5% time dead quint but I think it's probably worth it for 1 gold per 10. The seals won't be missed as they were a general mishmash of primary per-levels. An extra 700 gold per 35 minutes should come in mighty handy. I play a no-ward no-elixir style, and on people where an item upgrade is not viable, I might actually be able to start using them.

Ryze has a habit of being shut down in mid because he's pretty short-range for a caster. He is a great mid against many opponents, and then worthless against others and you just need to call a lane swap immediately before it becomes a problem (or don't bother going mid if you see someone with range in the loading screen). Basically if the enemy can harass you without risk of you landing a prison combo, it's not worth having ryze mid. Annie is similar; limited mid application, but great against people without a ton of range. If the enemy is dumb enough to try and pump a kass or kat to 6 in mid, you will rofl at their fail, but most of the time you need someone with more range.

Tenacity and cleanse are kind of a waste on Yi IMO since he can instantly turn off slows, and it doesn't prevent a meditate break. If that's a problem you can try a banshee shield. I've never thought about masteries since it's just a joke strat, but I guess I would go for veteran's scars in Defense and Mental Force in offense. With 23 points you can max Enlightenment and Sorcery and completely skip a 15% CDR item, probably lucidity in favor of swift, mobility, or sorc.

I'd like to get back into this, but I have basically no idea how to play DoTA/LoL

The biggest problem isn't the game itself so much as overconfident kids who think they know way more than they do and won't shut up about the millions of things that you're doing wrong. There's plenty of noobs to go around in the matchmaking queue so I wouldn't worry about skills.

Hi Viktor.

[Acid]

Played a draft. Our team fit current meta, their's didn't. We killed sion once and he started complaining about lag and us being 'Low elo noobs'. Near the end I think his team had a headache from the verbal abuse. Sion went 1 - 7 the rest of his team were much better. I feel sorry for them tbh

Hmm yeah. My thought was cleanse would clear a stun then if the cooldown isn't too long you can get back into your meditate. But it still has a decent length cool down so no point.

Pure AP Yi is actually pretty cool. His alpha strike does a very decent amount of AoE damage in team fights and if you combo alpha strike and your ult you can phase around the battlefield picking up kills. I've played him in every lane and in the current meta (At least at my summoner level in euw server) He can do solo top. Even 2v1, because of the AoE of alpha strike and his bait tank ability under tower with meditate.
