Hey! Master Yi is very viable in midlane for example it counters almsot every melee champion there, like zed,yasuo,fizz...
Of course it has disadvantages that its melee and it can be hard to farm early against mages.
But its pretty much same thing with Yasuo.
Build you can find
Please you can ask more in twitter if you want. Here

Anyway, lately I've been experimenting with a champion one of my friends recommended to me--Master Yi. I used to take him on top lane and generally did okay, but one of my teammates said that I needed to improve my build (no, I didn't get six Doran's Blades, but I always got items from the recommended section). I ended up Googling how to build Yi, and the first guide I saw back then was Master Yi S5 Mid by Pognog. Since it was the most popular and highest rated guide out of MOBAFire, I figured why not, although it was intended for mid lane. Anyway, the guide was an extreme help for not only my build, but also my play with Yi, which I am still indebted to Pognog for. Eventually, since the guide was made for the mid lane, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to try going Yi mid.
Well, naturally, I was bashed a little for calling mid and picking Yi. I soon found out why when I was plunged into the terrifying world of AP mage powerhouses such as Annie, who destroyed me then because A) Annie is one of the worst matchups for Yi (although I didn't know it back then) and B) I was unaccustomed to ranged attacks and hard CC abilities. I kept trying, though, and eventually I was relatively okay at playing mid with Yi for my level, sometimes even carrying the team with over thirty kills.
Now that I'm approaching higher levels, though--and based on what I have read on forums--the general opinion seems to be that Yi does not belong in mid lane and rather in jungle or top. I'm assuming that I don't understand because I haven't played against a capable mid opponent in a while due to my lower levels, but I want to prepare for the inevitable when I do get closer to ranked-level matches so I don't screw my team.
Tl;Dr: Is Master Yi a viable champion for the mid lane? If not, then what are his disadvantages?
