have anyone tryed to do it??

using meditate yi should be almost invincible with ap and tank build
and alpha strike can be mortal with ap




let's try to discuss this

Why would you attack a Yi who has zero damage and who is literally standing still not being able to even auto-attack for a crappy amount of damage. Furthermore, you have one damage ability that will hit for a couple hundred then you have nothing else to do?

Nobody's tried it because anyone who plays master yi wants to go pew pew dead towers, and anyone who wants to play an invincible tank plays alistar or, if they want to not die ever and not do anything like that proposed build, Mundo.

Master yi is just not a tank. Tank items do not a tank make.

I have played an AP Yi before... I had limited success. You're Alpha Strike is deadly, make no bones about it, it can do some great damage and is great in a team fight. You do lose a lot of normal attack damage and speed, but you can still "pew pew" towers with your Ulti so you don't lose too much.

As far as a hybrid ap/tank... I'm not sure about that. You don't have enough AP to be overly effective and you don't have enough HP/Armor to be as indestructible.

positive sides of AP/tank yi:

can tank almost anything while meditate is activated
deals increased damage with alpha strike

negative sides of ap/tank yi:

doesn't deal any damage (the enemies will just ignore him)
silence / stun eliminates his only "tanklike" ability
his way of initiating fights leaves all teammates behinds and lead him to a solo death since he doesn't cc at all
