Yi is still going to be built tanky even after the PBE changes

As much as his "tanky" build is cancerous (item 3931 item 3124 item 3111 item 3742 item 3053 item 3156 for example) this is unfortunately still the only viable way to build him, at least on higher elos. Being a melee and not having a way to instaburst someone like Talon or Fizz, nor having a way to control the teamfight like Yasuo, the only way that Yi can do his job without being CC-ed and instabursted himself is by building him tanky.

This is a problem that just changing his E is not going to solve. Unfortunately I don't have any ideas to make him work full glass cannon like he should.

He can dodge CC with Alpha strike, and he can meditate.

Meditate was also nerfed a while ago and Alpha strike is still bugy. I got chased by Morgana's Dark Binding (root) in Alpha strike.

As many others have said before me; The items are breaking characters, Shyvana, Yi, Udyr, etc. are all exploiting the same items. A Yi nerf is justified, but nerf the items ffs
