Super hard to play against as a jungler and midlaner, You should win easily if he doesn't have ulti and he's not ahead by 1-2 items.

Lulu

With a lulu you're basically unstoppable, with her w, e and r. Could work as a funnel as well if that's what you want to do.

RUNES

: Is now the best rune for master yi. grants up to 90% attack speed and a negligible 50 bonus range.

: Is basically the only good one of the primary runes (, and ), the other ones are either really niche or useless on yi. I could see myself using if i'm going a troll build like full .

and : These tertiary runes are basically your choice, but i would personally recommend if there's less than 3 abilities on their team. could be viable but i feel the attack speed from is too worth.

: is currently the 2nd best rune, as is more consistent. One of the reasons is viable is because of the burst damage it has in conjunction with crit/lethality items. Grants 110% attackspeed for 3 attacks or 3 seconds, and can be reset with as is an autoattack reset.

: Is up to 12 AD over time from champion takedowns (kills AND assists). Grants an additional 6 AD when you hit the max of 10.

: Is up to 12 AD over time based on the amount of s spawned. Grants and additional 6 AD when you hit the max of 10. Is also a free ward that last forever for your team to scout out those pesky roaming supports, you also get pinged when someone gets in range of the bush that the poro is in.

: With recent buffs (or nerfs depending on how you look at it) 's effect changed from 14% to 11% omnivamp at it's cap of 5 stacks that you get from takedowns. The change is that instead of healing from ONLY your abilities/items, you now heal from ALL DAMAGE YOU DEAL, including auto attacks. Possibly getting removed for some glorified collector. Basically, you lose all your healing on the lethality build, making it way less sustainable.
