I've be trying out a build on where you go -> -> -> -> sell for

In the early game you get your damage from botrk and devourer and then you go tanky because you will still melt anybody with the stupid amounts of mixed true, ad, %hp, and magic damage. the mallet might be unnecessary but I really like the sticking power it gives when your ulti is on cd, might want to switch it for or

this mix of damage, tankyness, and bs unslowable/invulnerable abilities should allow him to kill the back line, with enough health left over to kill everyone else just like a certain fish we all know and hate

Why build tank when you can build full ad and do the same? but faster.

Commando Yi mained (still mains?) Bruiser Yi. Similar build path. But I know he prioritized Randuins. His logic was basically the same as yours. Yi does what he needs to do with minimal offensive items, from there he can get some ability to stay alive if caught. Sated Devourer only buffs this play pattern. And he also built Mallet.

I just did the same thing. Got Devourer, then BotRK, but then I went for Wit's End for the major AS, then boots and then I built tank with Thornmail and Spirit Visage.

if you want sticking power for Yi, pick either item 3071 or item 3078 , frozen mallet is inferior to both in terms of sticking power, utility, and damage. is effectively the same as item 3022 just with a little less health, a superior build path, and an amazing armor shred. There is no reason to ever get on any champion anymore.

Full AP MasterYi w/ item 3075 is broken the enemy team has no choice but to focus you when you're meditating for that billion hp heal and damage reduction

Yi's secondary tag is fighter for a reason. You may not be melting entire teams like you would with full crit Yi, but at least bruiser Yi doesn't get vaporized off a single CC.

It all depends on what your team needs.
