I would recommend taking Last Stand over Coup de Grace because it provides extra damage on your Alpha Strike. Infact you CAN fight people when you are low hp, you just need to dodge CC (may be harder in low ELOs)
Let me know what you think!
Thanks
Picking Runes is mostly based on enemy champion picks and your own playstyle preference.
Both LT and HOB are working well on Yi but both also have their ups and downs.
If you have trouble deciding on which one to mainly use you should play straight 10 games in a row with the same runes and look, not on how many of those games you've won but on how many of those games you've performed better then with the other runes.
I like to run LT over HOB because HOB only really helps from the early to mid game, thats also when Yi is the weakest but it kinda forces you to do something before it becomes useless while also having an annoying bug in which the runes sometimes does not work after you use Q. LT is more consistent, scales better and makes you get more out of your damage in longer skirmishes. The game is currently going into a direction where consistency again becomes really important and better on Yi, hope that helps.

I have a question here, what do you think personally is the best keystone on Master Yi? I've seen a lot of people say that Hail of Blades is the way to go for him at the minute, but at the same time I still think the other keystones such as Lethal Tempo would be a lot better on him, I guess maybe it's depending on the items? What's your opinion?
I like the guide though.
So here's a quick answer:
HoB is very good on crit builds atm since it offers instant use, which is very good for the early game when having a redbuff but also to get some quicker trades and for faster burst during fights.
LT and Conq on the other hand are better for onhit builds since you gonna stack up stuff anyways with rageblade and they also have an extended duration which fits that playstyle more, but at the same time makes it less effective for crit builds.
Now there's still the decision for when to use LT or Conq when building onhit, which i think is not really hard to make. You can decide depending on what you are playing against, they have tanks or champs that get alot of hp during the game grab Conq to melt them easier and faster, they don't get that much hp but also do not have alot of hard CC go for LT to kill them as fast as possible, but the most important factor which plays into making that decision is in my opinion, what keystone you feel more comfortable to play with, since even if not optimaly adapted to the situation, both runes do work well on Yi.
