The most important items to include in your champ's build are: Immortal Shieldbow, Wit's End, and Death's Dance. Players who added these items in their gear had a significantly better winrate than players who worked towards other Master Yi builds.

In recent games, he won the greatest percentage of his rounds when equipped with these runes.
