Kha'Zix
Kha'zix is a Massive threat to Yi because of his quick high burst damage and invisibility on his ult. Avoid giving him any kills as he will burst you before you can do anything. stay with your team to avoid getting killed due to isolation.
Taric
this one is fairly self explanatory. Taric can stun off of you shield/heal and make you invulnerable for a short period of time.

Time your Alpha Strike (Q) to dodge skill shots or avoid getting bursted with a quick combo. Pay attention to its cool down and use auto attacks to get it up quicker again to get to targets with mobility or dodge skill shots. you can also use your Alpha Strike to dodge turret shots/switch aggro. When using Alpha Strike to turret dive if you use it on minions they will keep moving since you are un-targetable which can take you out of turret range.
Timing your Meditate (W) is very important as well for avoiding getting bursted. You can utilize Meditate to tower dive negating turret damage by 30%. Use your meditate to keep refreshing your ult if you cant get a reset by killing someone for a few seconds. You can also use Meditate as an auto attack reset.
Save your Highlander (ult) for when you get a bit closer to your opponent otherwise you may not be able to get a reset on your ult. often times in team fights its best to just start by attacking the closest enemy to get your rageblade stacked up, once its stacked then you can ult to make sure you get a reset then go for their highest damage dealer(s) adc/mid usually.
Bonus: (Super Secret Bug) Master Yi's Meditate normally reduces 60% damage and is reduced to 30% against turrets, you can reduce turret shots by the full 60%. To do this right as the turret shot hits you you meditate and then quickly cancel it and keep moving.
