By my calculations, given a Yi with a decent amount of life steal (45%) who has not built any additional magic resistance, a target needs 128.75 armor (after any reductions and penetration) in order to completely negate Yi's lifesteal. The idea here? Taunt for 2 seconds, beat the snot out of the Yi while he's dealing little damage and gaining no life. With his sustainability gone, all that remains to protect him are his health and resistances which, if you're a common Yi player, haven't been built up in the slightest, and an AP carry toasts you in three hits.
