One of the big problems has in being a squishy assassin, is that he gets focused down so very  fast when he joins in team fights. Leaving him in a position where he has to split push and then join fights late to be terrifying. What I'm suggesting here is an alternating way of playing Yi, where you build him so tanky that he doesn't die instantly, surviving long enough to meditate after the fact. Build:

Still taking 21/9/0 with and  straight down in offense and,  and  in defense. Full AD marks, Armor Seals, Magic resistance Glyphs and movement speed Quints. Personally I like taking one %hp scaling Seal and one %hp scaling Quint to round out my % health boost to 5%.

This way you don't pump out as much damage as Carry Yi, but you will have enough damage to kill someone over a longer period of time. Your sticking power also increases to retarded levels, no one can escape you when you build FM. And the greatest asset of all is that you can stick to your target while the opposing team focuses you down, which opens up opportunities for your team to stick it to them.
