Yes, crit build is now viable again. Although it's not as strong as it used to be, I still use it more than On-Hit build.

Guide is nice, isn't coup de grace better than last stand rune for a jungler? Last stand is nice when you can evaporate some squishi fullhp champ is seconds when you low hp, but at the laning phase jungler come to gank at full hp and might need some extra damage to finish off some low hp.

I used both and in my games. The conclusion is is better in general in my opinion.
Pros Cons chart:

Pros: More damage in team fights and skirmishes, Suitable for aggressive playstyle (dives, low HP skirmishes, etc.), it gives the damage boost you need to take kills when you are low hp just before you die
Cons: 0 value when you are more than 60% HP.

Pros: Better for securing or taking kills, Suitable for Safer playstyle. (only ganking free or 100% success rate ganks, )
Cons: Half the damage of . Not enough damage when you are about to kill enemy before dying.

In conclusion I perform better with due to its ability to reward riskier plays. Whenever I take , I always find plays that make me regret not taking , but I rarely think that I should have taken .

Hello! Very well-made guide, my friend!
I do have one question, why should you take if you are opting for resolve as a secondary tree? makes sense, as tenacity is very valuable on master yi, but bone plating is not usually good in the jungle, as you won't fight very often or very early either.

Please do let me know! Best of luck!

There are 2 options in tree. and .
Since we take tree for tenacity it means there are a lot of CC in the enemy team. So when they cc you they will try to burst you. The reason why we take is to survive from this burst. It can soak up to 180 damage.
One upside it has, since you are in Jungle no one can proc your , it will always be up.
One downside it has is enemies with long range abilities (/) can proc it very easily.

2nd option is . It will help you more in long fights/games, but after its nerf I switched to . I recommend this rune over only with build or if you will buy some resistence items. Because, it only outscales after you get your resistence items which usually is 4th and 5th item.

Interesting! Thank you for the explanation. I do have yet another suggestion, though not exactly a serious one. heals you over 10 seconds in champion combat. When you get low on HP, you will usually use , and I thought that maybe the healing would synergize with 's over time healing. Still probably a for-fun rune but I just wanted to give out the idea.

Nah, is only good in lane (against poke laners) or if you are a high HP champion since it scales with HP. I can only recommend this rune when playing lane against poke champions(, , etc.).
Even with Jak'Sho Build I'd recommend over .

One thing very important is de reset AA with W, this is very useful for clean jg and also in fights, it´s important because can you help you to kill someone and not die, it may seem a simple thing but is nescesary learn how to use this and when because you can dodge damage with w too.
I hope this will help everyone. I´ll made a guide of master yi when I have time.

Why we whould Dodge the game if my team picks kassadin?

Because Kassadin is the last mid laner you would want in your team. Your team has one carry already (adc) + You are Master Yi. Why would you want another gold dependant late game carry who has 0 cc, 0 lane pressure, can't follow you and hard to gank. However after 12.22 changes Kassadin might do good on his own since RoA back.
