I can understand why people would build Yi as an AP. Hell, I prefer building Tryndamere almost all AP.

AP Tryndamere is actually massively overpowered right now and perma-banned in ranked where people know about him. I kid you not; all hell broke loose when a few people documented their nearly unbroken win streaks with him on reddit. He's basically an unstoppable split pusher. He's being nerfed/fixed really hard next patch.

AD Yi is not stronger in terms of burst damage. If you graph the amount of damage he does over time in a fight, it is an almost perfectly straight slope. He is the epitome of non-burst damage.

"As hard cc = instant death"

That go's for basically ANY champion that doesn't stack hp and armour/resistance. you get hard cc on an ad carry? Dead. Hard cc on ap carry? Dead. That can go for anyone.



It doesn't take that long to kill someone on ad yi. Especially 1v1 o.o

You act like 1 Q on ap yi will instakill. Maybe that's the case for a FED ap yi. But the same can be said for a FED ad yi. A fed ad yi will do more damage than a fed ap yi.

Scenario 1 :

AP yi does his Q. Does significant damage but AA's don't do much and takes a while to kill enemy.

Scenario 2 :

AD yi does his Q, catching up to his enemy doing minor damage, but 2 hit's because of %crit and overall attack damage.

See where I'm getting at?

Also, I accidentally up voted your post when I wanted to quote it lol.
Gangplank is a melee carry who can get out of hard cc in an instant...your argument is invalid

I wasn't aware of that when I tried it. I looked at his ratios and thought "Why the hell not?" XD

I wasn't even vaguely concerned with the high level play concerns at that time. It was well before I had to start thinking about things like that.

AP yi is good for his q and heal, but ad yi is good for everything else lol.
I would LOVE for you to add me ingame, and play me in a 1v1. I'll use Nocturne, and lets see how bad you beat me with your AD yi, since you "can" 3hit me.

AD Yi's better for fighting players that don't know how to play well or play against him, kind of like Shaco or other stealth champs, if a team knows what they're doing AD Yi's not going far
if you're going to make that argument AP Yi can deal 12k+ damage to your team in 5- seconds if you let him
imo AD Yi's better from the jungle where he can clear and roam to get fed while AP Yi's better from a lane so he can harass the laner and later chunk teams with Q+R in teamfights
the heal ratio's just a bonus for lane
ps: if you give Sona ADC items she could probably 1v5 a team that walked up to her 1 by 1 too, but they should be more competent than that
