Several reasons:

1. Every other PROJECT skin has a weapon which name and description fit them. S-10 and L-20 Lightcasters both are acronims for Senna and Lucian. 1.0.0 Pulse Sabre "Scarlet", Fiora has a scarlet streak and a sabre is used for fencing, which is what her weapon usually is. It also talks about how its used for single-target combat and is good at going around a target and lawless attack precision and maximum repel strength. Basically describing Fioras play style. Mounted 9ND08 Energy Shield, Leonas weapon is capable of of blocking and stunning targets (again Fioras abilities and play style in the description). Zeds auxiliary side blades allow for target laceration from multiple angles (his ulti and the fact that he can hit you with his shadows from multiple angles) Hyperlight core provides precision balance and lossless energy distribution. “Alpha” fusion blade highly compatible with multi-target combat. The precision balance (Yis joke demonstrates that he can hold a blade on the tip of his finger to sumirize the balance thing), lossless energy distribution and alpha blade compatable of hitting multiple targets fot Yis play style and abilities.

2. Promotional artwork shows a figure with 6 eyes on it. Unless Zed or Lucian got new pairs of eyes (also the color of him doesnt match Zeds red or Lucians Neon Orange, it is the Yellow that Trace 1 has) there is no other male that looks like it.

3. The theme fits Yi. Rengar would be best suited for a Mecha line, and Jax for Arcade or even Full Metal, this theme is based on cybernetic augmentations and is a tribute to Metal Gear Solid series. All of the mentioned characters, including Yi, fit this theme the best.

4. While not that important, still needs to be point out that YI hasnt had a skin for 3 years. Champions usually get a new skin between 1-2 years depending on a theme that would fit them. As I mentioned, this theme fits Yi and is why they would make a new skin for him in it.
