RP Cost: 520

Release Date: November 10, 2009

Master Yi, the Wuju Bladesman, is a champion in the popular online game League of Legends. Known for his incredible speed and precision with his blade, Master Yi has become a fan favorite for players who enjoy playing an agile and deadly assassin. One of the many skins available for Master Yi is the 'Samurai Yi' skin, which adds a touch of traditional Japanese warrior aesthetics to the champion.

The 'Samurai Yi' skin was released on November 10, 2009, and has since become a popular choice among players who want to embody the spirit of a noble and disciplined warrior. Priced at 520 RP, this skin offers a unique visual experience for players who wish to see Master Yi in a different light.

When equipped with the 'Samurai Yi' skin, Master Yi's appearance undergoes a complete transformation. He dons a traditional samurai armor, complete with a helmet adorned with a fierce dragon motif. His robe is replaced with a more traditional Japanese kimono, and his weapon, the Wuju Blades, are replaced with a pair of elegant katanas. The skin also features new visual effects for Master Yi's abilities, adding an extra layer of immersion to the gameplay experience.

Master Yi's story is one of tragedy and redemption. Born in the Ionian province of Wuju, Yi was trained in the ancient martial art of Wuju by his father. However, tragedy struck when Noxian invaders attacked their village, killing Yi's father and leaving him as the sole survivor. Filled with grief and a thirst for revenge, Yi dedicated his life to mastering the art of Wuju and seeking justice for his fallen family.

In the game, Master Yi is classified as a melee carry champion, excelling in dealing high amounts of damage in a short amount of time. His abilities revolve around his incredible speed and precision, allowing him to quickly close the gap between him and his enemies and unleash devastating attacks. His passive ability, Double Strike, allows him to strike twice every few attacks, increasing his overall damage output. His Q ability, Alpha Strike, allows him to dash to a target enemy, dealing damage to multiple enemies in the process. His W ability, Meditate, allows him to enter a state of meditation, healing himself and reducing incoming damage. His E ability, Wuju Style, empowers his next basic attack, dealing bonus true damage. Finally, his ultimate ability, Highlander, grants him increased movement and attack speed, as well as immunity to any slowing effects.

Master Yi's strengths lie in his ability to quickly eliminate squishy targets and split push effectively. With his high damage output and mobility, he can swiftly take down enemies and escape before they have a chance to retaliate. His ability to heal himself with Meditate also makes him a formidable duelist, allowing him to sustain in fights and outlast his opponents.

However, Master Yi also has his weaknesses. He is relatively squishy and lacks crowd control abilities, making him vulnerable to crowd control effects and burst damage. Additionally, he heavily relies on his ultimate ability, Highlander, for increased mobility and attack speed, making him more predictable and susceptible to crowd control when it is on cooldown.

In the world of League of Legends, Master Yi has become an iconic champion, known for his fast-paced and high-risk playstyle. Whether you choose to play him as a samurai warrior with the 'Samurai Yi' skin or in his default appearance, Master Yi offers a thrilling and rewarding experience for players who enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of swift victory.
