Overview
I know Luo-Yi is a mage and she is supposed to be played with magic damage ! But there are always possibilities that I'm willing you people to try I've been playing a sustain Luo-Yi for a while, especially on gold lane in solo q, the random mm we get is usually questionable and imo Luo-Yi was a good replacement as long she can deal w the mm My Luo-Yi will tank for you, provide as a frontline and provide cc and unexpected damage. Prolly sounding like a scammer but you can never know before you try ;) Good luck!
Attack speed counter
Stats when items passive are stacked : —7710 hp—452 magic power—320 physical defense—210magic defense. 4.2k damage per combo. You will not need boots, it's a waste of 720 gold in early game. Clock of destiny is my Luo's core item, provides mana but the passive is Destiny is especially useful because you can stack it in syncs with Luo's passive. Ice queen wand because the 7% mov speed and the 10% spellvamp benefits her, and the passive benefits her allies too—orovide a stronger control effect in teamfights. Dominance ice, I know some people would say Burning wand is better but we are going for a sustain Luo-Yi who is able to go on the frontline, especially when you don't have a support, squishy mm and an assassin jgl. You can rush ice Dom before ice queen wand. Guardian helmet, I suggest to build it when the enemy team have constant big damage dishing heroes (Lesley, Clint, Martis, Eudora, Cecilion, Saber, Arlott etc) Guardian helmet will cancel Martis Ultimate and will let your survive with 2% hp after Harley's ultimate. Bladed Armor is only worth buying if the enemy has attack speed heroes, else it can be replaced by Antique cuirass. Last item can be changed, Holy crystal is priori when your team lacks danage—it also benefits Luo-Yi's passive shields. If the enemy has constant magic damage , it would be wise to buy radiant armor instead.(Alice, Novaria, Nathan, Lylia, Silvanna) Especially since you'll get the focus because you look defenceless. Sometimes Concentrated energy is good too.
Against mages
I haven't been use queen's wings in a while but its good. You can always adjust the build based on enemy comp but these are the defaults I suggest to go with. This build grants you: —9960 hp—105 magic pw—260 physical def—390magic defense and 65% damage reduction when vengeance and queens wing activated.
Sustain
It might seem like a scam but it's perfect.
Battle Spell
Vengeance is my favourite spell for Luo-Yi, it's especially useful against attack speed heroes if you build bladed armor. It's the perfect spell against any comp.
Balanced
I especially take her to Gold lane(Glory-Immo) but mid is good too if your mm is not a sh*thead Early you may play safe, try to land double stun combos on your counterpart. Or Gradually poke, lower their hp until you can land a double stun combo to finish them. During turtle you can use your ultimate to help on turtle, but be careful to not lose towers. If you brought clock of destiny already then focus tanking for your teammates. You'll see Luo-Yi can tank quite well and if your team can dish some damage it's perfect. Mid game you'll start becoming a threat, enemies will underestimate your ability to sustain. In teamfights you can do miracles, early to late. Even full tanks the damage is very balanced, trust me Yo unkillable and still deal damage.
Best With Karina
80% co-op win rate
Even in bad situations Luo-Yi can tank and dish damage, leaving enemies under 50% hp and leaving the crumbs for Karina to pick up
Watch Out For Esmeralda
40% counter win rate
Esmeralda will counter Luo-Yi's shield gain but in teamfights shell hold out well against Esme.
