This guide has a great layout.
Still haven't read the whole guide yet, but I had a brief look, and it seems great already.
Though your title may be a bit mis-leading. While it is a great guide, with your build and masteries and runes, it will still be quite squishy, I believe. (FM,MoM, some armor and mr from your runes and masteries are pretty much the only thing making you tanky).
I think it's a great build, as keeping it too tanky would reduce the damage output, but from the title, it made me think of something a bit more tankier.
Anyways +1.


Thanks to Jhoijhoi for making this awesome siggy!

Thanks for the up vote, and the reason I don't dare make him more tanky is that he will lose so much of his damage potential, and I'm afraid that will make him less useful

Errr haven't played jongle Yi in a long time but overall this guide seems fine.

Build-wise: I'd recommend more damage over FroMal earlier on. If you're getting Maw you should get hex earlier too. Also I'd recommend fitting in a GA somewhere early on. OP ITEM THAT IS FOR MELEE SQUISHIES.
Also your guide title is confusing >.> That is a squishy build you're using lol

Aesthetics: gud

Info: Could go more in-depth :P WHERES UR SUMONER SPELL SECTION OMG TELE SMITE YI OP
Also WOLVES > BLUE O_O NOT BLUE > WOLVES
Let people help you with de wolvies

Very nice layout on this guide. I agree with everything in this guide and I consider that you couldn't add much more since Master Yi is much of a straight forward champion, probably more champions to the counter jungle section and I see you didn't include a summoner's spells section.

I think it's a pretty good build overall. One thing I would change is thr priority of Infinity Edge and Frozen Mallet. I really like that you get Phage after you get your wriggles as it will improve your ganks by allowing Yi to have some CC. However, going right into frozen mallet, assuming we're about 20:00 into the game, is a reverse-snowball move. You really want to be pumping up that damage during the mid game because soon people will start to build armor and you won't be able to do damage. Consider going Wriggle's Lantern -> Phage - Infinity Edge, while mixing in either ninja tabbi or Mercury's Treads. Having attack speed boots on Yi isn't really something I like to see because he gets such an attack speed increase from his ultimate anyway, so he really doesn't need them as much as he would more sustain/ cc reduction.

Another thing I would change is the Mao matchup. If mao catches you in his jungle he will make it very hard for you to leave without using your ult or your flash...

Finally, I would recommend trading out your flash for exhaust. The reasoning is that Master Yi has no CC pre Phage, so jungling without exhaust makes ganking very very difficult unless the lane you're ganking has very strong cc, such as Darius, Swain, or Ashe + Alistar.
