Well, here I am (not logged in though...).

AP Yi is good because of the following reasons:

1. You cannot kill him in lane, if he knows what % of his health you can burst. Only LeBlanc might have a chance with her (in)famous 100-0 in a second combo.

2. If he ganks bot at the right time, and like 3 times in one game, you can't do anything. He deals more damage than any jungler will, just imagine if they are together, and he'll get maybe 4 kills from it (and AD carry 2), meaning he got ~1500 gold, so 80 Q damage or 320 heal from it.

3. If he starts the teamfight with a kill, he can immediately use his Q again, meaning that the remaining enemies have been hit for 2.0 AP ratio now. Lich Bane makes this 2.75 for one target, if you have 600 ability power that means 1650 damage plus 600 base is 2250 damage. In about 1.5 seconds, not counting teammate damage. I guess you understand that's most likely another kill? That means that all eventually surviving enemies (really tanky or out of range) are now AGAIN about to get hit by a 300 + 600 = 900 damage nuke.

4. Active ult to take down a tower or inhibitor in seconds, on your own, without minions.

5. Cc doesn't interrupt that Zhonya's that you used while waiting for an ally to make a kill so that you could use that 6 second cooldown (minus 3 because of ally making kill) 100% AP damage nuke again.

If you don't believe me, have a look at those Yi stats and those multikill stats (except for a few triples and doubles all made by Yi in those 29 games).
