Introduction

Hi this is my first build, Nektralik in-game, um I really only have to say that if you downvote, comment why, and give me all the feedback/criticism you can give, thanks!

I do love Master Yi, I think he has great potential for carrying, even in ranked. Also, if you have anything I can improve on, let me know!

Pros :D/ Cons :C

Pros:
Decent farming due to Alpha Strike, also good jungling capacity.
Extremely high AD due to Wuju Style.
Can wipe most champions in a couple hits no doubt.
Good escape/facerolling ultimate.
He's a sword swingin'BA.

Cons:
Relatively squishy even after Frozen Mallet.
No CC.
Focused in team fights.
No one will like you and everyone will hate you, relish this.

Summoner Spells

I went with Flash/Exhaust, mainly because Flash will help you get away easily and Exhaust will help greatly in tough 1v1 situations such as fighting Jax or Tryndamere, etc.

Runes

I go with Armor Pen marks, a good choice on Yi due to his good damage and attack speed, armor pen will rip your enemies to shreds from beginning to end game.

Armor/Dodge for my seals, You can use either, armor is definitely a better choice imo letting you get a bit more defense since Yi is squishy, dodge can save your life too. Another viable option would be HP/HP regen.

For your glyphs you can go either Magic Resist for more defense, CDR for, well, CDR, or Attack Speed for that extra ealry/late game boost.

And finally Armor Pen quints, totally 25 armor pen (31) with masteries, this is incredibly OP early game and helps a lot on tankier people late game.

Masteries

It doesn't matter too much what you do here, I did a standard 21/0/9 build taking most obvious talents and I went utility for experience because I don't think Yi needs the armor/mres/dodge as much as faster levels and other things in utility.

Item Suggestions/Optional Items

Ok so your core should be:

, or , and either or before that you can get

After those items you'll want to go for some high damage output:

and then

Optional/Situational Items:

For playing against all those pesky 3k HP bozos.

For fighting heavy caster teams, wield this with vengeance!

For high armor tanks, don't get both, or prepare for QQ.

Can't really think of anything else, comments please!
