Not to mention, I really like this build due to the fact that it greatly encourages the use of Hybrid builds for Yi; Yi back then was more easier to build Hybrid due to his Q's high base damage and his E's high flat AD boost, that much I can state on. However, his current version is more AD based, and Hybrid is more difficult due to his nerfed AP ratio on his W.

Like I said before, the current rework has managed to fix a few problems on Yi which were an issue back then, but this kind of ratio scaling for his kit is great. If one could combine the ideas from this kit into his current rework, then Yi's possibilities can increase greatly, and perhaps his previous viability can see light again.
