he builds frozen mallet sated devourer and deadmans with steraks and hes unkillable while melting everyoe and everything . nerf this disgusting champion design pls. also i did not face this guy he was on my team doing retarded damage for being tanky.
disregardable4 votesAny champ that gets 10+ kills is going to do a ridiculous amount of damage, regardless of their build. ^^
Chrome Raven2 votesthis yi didnt do a single thing till he had deadmans and sated and he 1 shot the jungle and mid.
disregardable4 votesthat is the way of master yi. farm til op and pray your team doesn't lose.
undesirable team1 votesNobody builds tank on yi.. Whats the point of building tank if you can build damage, building damage makes u build damage. no point in building tank kappa :)
Chrome Raven1 votesbecause it helps him get his damage off while having broken survivability.

He gets resets, it's much better making it so the enemy dies instantly, instead of having to wait a bit to use it. The build you're describing sounds like a AD yi instead of AS yi, I find yi fine to beat, unless he's fed with a botrk. He can easily be locked down and killed. He's generally a squishy champion, killing people faster makes it so you have more invulnerability time. Tank yi sounds weak to me.

It's not really tank Yi. More like bruisery Yi, I get my main dmg items and then switch to items that help me survive because now I'm able to melt everything. And it's not new, most high elo Yi players don't go glasscannon. The thing is you can have insane damage with 2-3 items, and the rest can be bruisery.
Usual combinations being :
old school botrk/youmuu
rageblade tank
for lane Yi
And then you just go for defensive items 
are all good examples.
A build based on crit costs more gold, takes more time to scale, making you weak for a long period. Also it doesn't have the best synergy with sated. You'd kinda need 4 items to really be through with it 
(because you basically need attack speed, decent critchance, AD, lifesteal and arpen. If you got sated, that leaves you with 0 defensive items. Which.. sucks, as in, it's too risky).
Just check out http://www.probuilds.net/champions/details/MasterYi Or go for lolskill to see the highest ranked Yi mains, see what they build.
Not saying that we should "copy the high elos", just that if it exists, there's obviously a reasoning behind it. Saying bruiser Yi is bad is like saying pretty much every good Yi player is wrong in their builds. That's kind of a big statement.
