For one reason I want Yi to be preserved as a skirmisher who is a counter to tankier champions but also the reason I am not giving him Flat Damage is because I want to force him to build damage to do damage so he goes more into the glass cannon orientation. He will feel more rewarded for stacking damage as he will deal more true damage but also more squishy so he can die easier.

Master Yi has to land Wuju Dagger to get the desired effects and I really want to make Wuju Style very important tool for Yi. I think that the combination of Wuju Dagger + Alpha Strike will do significant amount of damage but Zed's WEQ will do far more damage since Yi would still relies on his basic attacks to get the job done

>If someone were able to shred a tank, then they would one-shotting a squishy target

This is completely untrue. If you go Crit Yi you will really one-shot enemy carries but you will struggle vs tanks. If you go Onhit Yi the damage will be more equalized so you will be lots better vs Tanks but you wont one-shot carries

Any Yi main will tell you that you build crits vs squishies and onhit vs tanks. Master Yi is one of the best champions that is able to deal with tanks therefor he is already tank shredder for years. It's just that small amount of people pick Yi top while I've been playing Yi top for years

Blade of the ruined king for instance it deals 8% target current health. 160 damage per 2000 healt hor 320 damage per 4000 health. You miss the viable point which is armor reduction as I suggested in the kit. Applying the % armor reduction will reduce damage reduction from tanks's armor there BorK becomes more effective and when you combine it the true damage from wuju style and wuju dagger it becomes great counter to tanks. This will make tanks more vulnerable in teamfights and Master Yi's team will be able to push tanks back.

Z-Drive Resonance which is a passive ability grands Ekko 50% – 80% bonus movement speed. Master Yi's Highlander which is ultimate ability grands 25% – 45% bonus movement speed. and you probably know how overloaded Ekko's kit is.
