Trivia[]
Original Master Yi
- He resembles Sam Fisher from Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.
- His sword is modeled after a ringed-Dao.
- He has three different running animations.
- A strange occurrence between all his skins is that whenever Yi basic attacks a target at the start of a match, he will repeat his outward slashing animation twice for the first two basic attacks.
Assassin Master Yi
- This skin shares the Legacy theme with:
- He is among the only three skins priced at
390, making them the cheapest ones available (excluding sales and giveaways/promotions).
- The others are:
- The
prior version of this skin before his visual upgrade was a mere black-and-white re-coloring of his original skin.
Chosen Master Yi
- This skin shares the Legacy theme with:
- Both him and
Forsaken Jayce went on sale on 4-May-2015 (Star Wars Day) and were 54% off (May the fourth be with you). - He references the Jedi Order from Star Wars.
Wuju Style's states change his lightsaber's color:
- On cooldown/not-learned: blue.
- Off cooldown: green.
- Active: red.
- The skin's title, as well as his stances changing his weapon from blue/green to red, may be a reference to the saga of Anakin Skywalker, the "Chosen One," from Star Wars.
Ionia Master Yi
- This skin shares the Legacy theme with:
- His outfit resembles
pre-rework Irelia's (might be indicating this is him as a member of the Ionian guard). - The
Ionian crest can be seen on his robes' tail.
Samurai Yi
- This skin shares the Legacy theme with:
- He references the eponymous Japanese warrior caste.
Headhunter Master Yi
Chromas: Aqua, Crimson, Gold
Chromas:- This skin shares the Headhunter theme with:
- He references the Yautja from Predator.
- His helmet and his goggles resemble Hotsuma's from Shinobi.
- An earlier version of his art had him preparing to fight
Cho'Gath. - The original version of this skin prior to his visual upgrade had notable oddities, such as his blade being held the opposite way, and closer inspection of his
Alpha Strike animation showed Yi leaving afterimages of one of his auto-attack animations (shown as rapidly performing his auto-attack animations at fast speed instead with a 3D model viewer). These issues were fixed for the visual-updated version.
PROJECT: Yi
- This skin shares the PROJECT theme with:
- He is from an alternate timeline in which he was cybernetically augmented as part of the PROJECT Initiative.
- His gear includes:
- He describes himself as "Trace lost... my name... is
Yi." - If one tells
PROJECT: Ashe they fight for 'harmony' she'll say the following: "A perfect anomaly." - His sword (
098X Fusion Edge) splits into a dual-blade when the 
Highlander ability is activated, though it does not change the animations of his basic attacks. - PROJECT: Yi is the only PROJECT skin to lose a larger majority of his armor in his animations (upon both his death or during his ultimate).
- He was conceived as 'Cyber Yi' by Marco 'Wendigo' Silva (an artist from the Riot Games Inc. São Paulo office).
- He might have been inspired by Plan-1056 Codarl from Full Metal Panic! and/or Zer0 from Borderlands.
- His dance references Have a Nice Day by World Order.
- A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
