I understand you, because I felt the same way for a long time, no less because I had an amazing amount of 10 pentas in season three on Summoner's Rift PvP (granted, 4 of those were AP Yi and two others were AD Yi against a team without any cc, all pre-rework).

While activiating Wind Slash at the very start of the fight, it often isn't a good idea if your opponent knows he's most likely weaker than you, because he will back away without trying to trade with you, meaning all damage you can basically do is Wind Slash. I prefer using it as soon as I closed the gap, meaning the fight has already begun, which greatly reduces the possibility of keeping safe (the enemy will probably need flash or something like that), but also means very little damage has yet been dealt, so very little damage could yet have been amplified.
