I'm new to Master Yi and I really do enjoy his play style and kit, I'm honestly curious how to build him a tad... Tankier. I don't mind losing a bit of damage, as long as I get a bit of tankiness in return, since I've noticed he can get 1 shotted here and there.

Any people have a good idea what to build? And when to build the item haha.

Would help me much more then you think!

If you're in the Jungle, you go Bloodrazer, preferably the Challenging Smite, Bork, Cleaver, then get resistances. Spirit Visage and Deadman's Plate is best. Berzerker's Greaves for shoes.

I'm a yi main i have 2 to 3 builds but atm i prefer just one which is Cri yi with some 2 tanky items not in giving armor or mr even hp it just having it's passive as being tanky My first Build: I start with 1-ritem 1419 2-item 3071 (remember Blackcleaver give ya movement speed which is good for chasing with the ult nerf (plus CD 20% amazing for a all in one item)!! it's passive 30% armor pen stacking up boosting your bloodrazor damage since BR deals max hp% in phyiscal damage the best part is rushing this item early game also increases your true damage by adding ad to it if you know how yi E works so it's armor pen,CD,50AD,250 HP,adding movement speed amazing item). 3-item 3053 or item 3812 will make ya super tanky you will not be brusted easily with blackcleaver and deathdance you will have 30% CD but if they have AP something like lb kennen i prefer getting item 3156 instead of item 3053 (!!!remember deathdance passive is 15% of the damage taken will be taken as bleed for 3 second in that moment you will life steal plus!!your Q will heal ya upon damaging anything with it. 4-item 3046 for it's passive and the critical damage will scale with your item 1419. So you can build this :item 1419 item 3071 item 3053 item 3812 item 3047 item 3065 or item 3091 if they have garen with thornmail or any tanky champion you will steal their magic resist and adding it to yours plus this build only agaisnt heavy AD team with only one mage mid lane. you can add item 3046 where ever you like or this:item 1419 item 3071 item 3156 item 3111 item 3812item 3153 for ap combo and CC you can replace item 3812 with item 3139 if they have super hard CC like skarner or malzhar probably ww too. there's other builds but i believe this one for ya because it solve yi Ult problem and remember to play as timing your alpha and neglect damage with ur W as veigar ult lee Q or ult since lee Q i believe it's a burst damage to yi vs him if you can mediate his Q then his ult will not deal massive damage upon missing health just an example for how to use ur abilities and never go without ur ult in a fight. Thanks! you can check me if you want but im in euw my name is Face your Demon.

item 3512 item 3083 item 3812 item 3001 item 3301 item 3151 seems decent. It's what I've been running for a while now.
