How do I not get melted by literally every champ when I play Master Yi?

When you teamfight with Master Yi you should almost never be the person initiating since you will be focused and blown up instantly. Instead, let your teammates initiate and keep track of the enemies cooldowns especially their CC. If they don’t have CC available or you know you can dodge their CC with your Q, that’s ideally when you want to go ham and kill the highest priority targets to the lowest priority targets. I usually would not recommend teamfighting with Master Yi because even the smallest amount of CC will shut you down. I’d recommend splitpushing because Master Yi excels in 1v1. Also by splitpushing you will have your Guinsoo’s Rageblade fully stacked before fighting which is ideal.

Tip one: Don't pick Yi into comps that have easy to land CC or a lot of it. I've played all of 3 ranked games with him this season (one was a mistake where i should've picked something else) because of that and it was so free it's not even funny. Just take a different jungler if that condition is not met.

Tip two: if the part one isn't true, you never want to exactly group or go into a full-blown 5v5. Wait for some important CDs to go off (CC, ultimates etc.) and then go in on the backline.

Tip three: Only use Q as a gapclose if you're sure you won't need to gapclose again and you won't need to dodge CC with it. Applies at all stages of the game. He's got one of the highest base MS in the game, use it (especially early) + you don't want to fly under tower with someone's flash.

Tip four: His ganks pre-6 aren't that bad. If the enemy is not full-hp it's a guaranteed success, especially with redbuff, and getting ahead early makes the game go like a breeze. With your Q and W you can also try early dives if they are low.

Tip five: one for one trade on an early gank isn't bad, you'll do more with that gold than almost any other champion.

Tip six: don't overgank. One gank at level 3 should be enough unless some other lane is free (i.e. enemy has like 200HP).

Tip seven: despite being a scaling champion your 1v1 potential is quite high. Don't be afraid to use it even before level 6. Only champions you should be afraid of are Olaf (duh), Warwick (CC and damage reduction and he heals like a mofo) and maybe Graves (since he has free armor and can kite you out). You should still beat them later though.

Yi is generally the clean up. You either have to wait for someone to position away from their team or come in to clean up kills with your r and use q to avoid any skills that would blow you away
