you're just playing AP yi wrong sir if he's not viable

AP yi is to be played in double AP comps with vlad or kennen for example

300 + 1.0 ap ratio on 4 targets in a teamfight is big

you also build CDR to use it more often and you're not supposed to Q then run away till CD pops

also yi can do things other Ap can't do as well:

1) counterjungle the blue and red put a ward and then  just alpha strike it when the jungler is doing it or  do it yourself,  alpha strike will deal more damage then smite

also extremely good to steal nashor ( and to potentially pick a kill or two  since 3 oponents willl be hit beside nashor)

2) denying creeps to other ap carry

unless ganked by a naut or alistar it's extremely hard to kill a yi mid  since his huge range let's him play safe while poking ( wait for 1 to 3 minions  to be near oponent   Q closest then leave )

you can stand safely while zoning the oponent because of Q's range

you can also push creeps under tower against champs like leblanc

3) ultimate  awesome for ganking

bot is pushed? they have wards? go in their jungle by wraith ( or wolves and ult before passing tribush they won't have time to back off  because you're much faster)

all in all i find that ap yi isn't as good as a brand in teamfights, but he can seriously cripple the other team by countinuously counterjungling since his lane will be pushed and by ganking  + denying  the other mid

if you play him like a veigar and stay on lane to farm all day, yes yi isn't the best.. but why pick yi to do that?

it's like saying  cassiopeia isn't viable since  she cant' sustain herself well in the jungle and can't solo drake at level 6 like shaco.
