This is my first build and I would like to say if this doesn't work for you then try another build.
Hou Yi will be out of meta until the new map comes out. The main reason is because his 1 is not a good enough to clear and he is very basic attack heavy. In the new map in the duo lane there is the new buff that gives attack speed which will help him xbalanque and cupid come into meta. To play him you need to play passively early. He can not clear well for the first 8 levels so remember that. Use your 1 to start the clear then use your basic attack to fully clear the wave. When the supports start rotating stay back and farm and let the opposing adc
push to hard and get ganked. Also, his 1 should not be used to fight. Your ultimate is your strong point use it to your advantage, but remember that it has a 80 second cooldown.
Hou Yi can be very good in team fights if you use him correctly. First is when its a 1 on 1 situation. If the opposing adc is at about 70% you should go on him. Mark him then (if your ahead of him) ult so he is slowed. If he tries to run use your 3 to chase him. In team fights. Hou Yi's ultimate is amazing for contesting objectives. Mark the support then ult on him and both the objective and opponents in the aoe will take a lot of damage. In team fights Hou Yi is not as well. You need to stay in the back. If you are engaging use your 3 not your 1. Your 3 will allow you to up close and personal and do more damage. Then you should mark one of the opponents and ult in a good area where most of them will be.
Hou Yi will be a good god. Though his lane clear is bad with the new buff coming he will do a lot better against top adc's. He is very good with supports like ymir, geb, kumbhakarna, and sylvanus. He cannot be played in any other lane. Do not solo with him, he has no clear. Other then that enjoy the rest of the weekend and happy Martin Luther King Day.
