If both characters were to walk up to each other and start attacking each other with no build then Jax will win because his kit has much higher base damage and stats.

As soon as you introduce items the whole thing becomes a tossup. They can both buy thornmail for a huge advantage, Yi could get a Zhonyas to completely reset Jax's passive stacks and dodge counterstrike, jax could have Max cdr from triforce, glyphs and a nashors, meaning his E is on 4.8 second cooldown, which even in the absolute best scenario only gives Yi a 4 second window to kill Jax.

The whole argument is like asking whether Batman could beat Spiderman, it's full of so many hypotheticals you forget the entire scenario is implausible. In the same way Batman will never fight Spiderman, 6 item Yi is never going to 1v1 6 item Jax, because even in the 1% of games that last that long, there's still 8 other players affecting the outcome.
