Classic Off-Meta Builds — AP Master Yi, AP Sion, Top Alistar

The builds people queue Classic for, in one place

These are not the highest win rate builds. They are the ones people actually want to play in Classic — old ability ratios that the modern game removed. Each is curated from how the ability scales on this patch, not measured from live games.
