AP Yi isn't completely un-viable. He's tanky as hell late game with some CDR in combo with his Meditate. 1v3+turret he can survive for a while. But Hybrid AP+AS works best. And there are some nice items that give both. Nashor's Tooth jumps straight to mind.
It is completely unviable. Which probably isn't even a word :3
"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache†and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

Haha, it is XD
It just sounds so wrong :3
Still, you're probably at a stage where you can play what ever the f' you want and still win.
AP Yi is bad and only noobs and trolls play him. /thread.

"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.
I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817

AP Yi sure deals tons of magic damage, but its kinda useless. U'll depend a lot on Alpha Strike and Meditate, and thats suicidal if u cant use them like normal attacks. U'd have to "Q" and run, "Q" and run, and thats not how Yi should be played.
If u want to build AP, play as a mage.

AP Yi doesnt do tons of damage.
He does 1 spell with 100% AP ratio. Nothing more...
Even sion is better... 100% AP ratio x2
Srsly if you want to play AP Yi, take Sion instead, you will bring burst damage, offtakiness, and most of all CC!

That's why you get a lichbane and a guinsoo's. You proc your lichbane with your spells (which gets your AS/AP up) and then DPS them down with your AS. You also need a lot of CDR and a little magic pen for the damage boost. AP Yi is more difficult, but imo it's all about play style. I suck at Master Right-click (crit/AS Yi), but I'm really good at "Alpha strike to the Face!" (AS/AP Yi).
AP Yi is still worse than all the other casters in the game... Items won't fix that..

Yi's role has always been to take down towers and alpha to squishies taking them out quickly.
AP Yi's role is what? Harassment and running away praying they don't have CC?
Out of all those champions why play a champion wrong?
If you're looking for a secret success that will be more unique this isn't it, its been tried and denied.
