Black Cleaver? BAD SUMMONER! *hits contributor with newspaper*

But no, here's my suggestion. I sorta main as Yi, so I have a few games under my belt.

1) Boots of Speed + 2 HP Potions + 1 Mana Potion. The pots are for obvious reasons. The Boots of Speed will become Berserker's Greaves.

2) Start in on either a Ghostblade by getting The Brutalizer, or a Bloodthirster by getting a BF Sword (or a Vamp Scepter if you're desperate for the lifesteal).

3) After step 2 is done, build a PD. Yi definitely benefits from its buffs. Actually, by late-game, it's not a half-bad idea to have two of these.

4) If you went with Youmuu's in Step 2, ABSOLUTELY get a Bloodthirster here. Yi NEEDS that lifesteal, but it might not be necessary to rush it right away.

5) Either an Infinity Edge, another PD, or another BT. Your choice.

6) This one is sorta up to you. If I'm not already wrecking ALL THE THINGS at this point, I'll get something defensive, like Banshee's Veil, Randuin's Omen (a small amount of CDR, so Randuin's is smart), or Frozen Heart. If someone tries to tell you Warmog's...report them for being unskilled. Warmog's is absolutely UNNECESSARY. Yi's supposed to be a sort of hit-them-hard-and-run-like-hell champ, so he doesn't need something a tank would take.

ALTERNATE OPTIONS: Atma's Impaler (+45 Armor, and 2% of Max Health is added to your AD), Triforce (for obvious reasons), 3rd BT if you really wanna troll people.

Last but not least...REMEMBER TO USE YOUR ITEM ACTIVES. Especially with Youmuu's, it can mean the difference between a death and helping your team get an ace. And if your item slots are all full... buy one of ALL THREE Elixirs and an Oracle (all under Consumables). Total is 1150gp for one of each. It helps a lot to find the sneaky champs.
