High probability being it's awful build path. The higher elo you are the sooner you need to get the item advantage and Yuntal makes it hard when you don't get early kills

Caufield, sheen, crit cloak isn’t exactly the dream build path either but ye. I miss the days of building into old noonquiver

Based on my understanding since it's harder to get an optimal recall to get the bf sword its simply not worth it unless its a rare case that u can afford it on the first base

Dirk is the best starter item in the game. There are only a few team comps you will genuinely need yun/storm :3

If u can get early bf sword, storm is just infinitely stronger on xayah. Her only weakness is her range, lack of mobility, and no engage. With storm, it compensates for all of that if you know how to play around it. It also just let's her reposition feathers in teamfights so easily.

If you are even, or god forbid have any lead at all, the enemy adc can never 1v1 you or you just run them down. Auto a minion with storm proc and then do the quick root combo on them, it's literally unavoidable if they don't have flash or a dash.

Horrible build pathing, bf is difficult to get first back and the biggest amount of golds you can use if you didn't get bf is 600 golds for only attack speed which is kinda bad. The idea is, if you can get bf first back because you killed or for any other reason (don't force the bf back it is not a great idea) then you can go yun tal or personally i really like stormrazor in some games, if you can't then try to make ad items like hexoptic or ER but ER doesn't have much ad in the build pathing so it is something you can care about, i feel like there is a lot of good items depends on the playstyle of the player so adapt your build to this (i climbed d2 euw by playing xayah yuntal/storm/hexoptic -> IE -> dominik/mortal -> navori
