Keep all your stuns for him in a teamfight, and burst him down.
My main weapons vs yi pick is : high burst dmg champ with lots of cc in lanes (no nida/no nasus/no cait/no graves/ no soraka ...) AND i pick xin jungle, so i can make a lot more efficient early ganks and i'm also able to crush him 1v1 at any point of the game (even if he has like 3 or 4 more kill than me). Of course don't build xin tanky in soloQ, it needs to have good teammates to work, build him 80%dmg 20%survive the initiale stun/burst.
Yi can't win this if your team is playing safe.

imo there needs to be more item abilities to deal with stuff like jungle yi. item actives have been notoriously underwhelming, particularly lacking in good cc

Can I kindly request that at least in strategy forum we avoid balance/design whine, for my sanity's sake.

I would however question the idea that Xin beats Yi 1v1, that is simply not the case from my experience.

From my experience yi with feral flare has a huge power spike during mid-game and he can even if not rly fed, 1v1 every single champion except a few who have high burst and a stun.
Without stuns it's almost impossible to kill even in 1v2.
To me, with Udyr, he is right now one of the two most broken champs atm as he can't be rly punished in every phase of the game (ez to escape, can't be 1v1 in jungle), and also extremely easy to play. Now he is worse than the Vi of a few months back in those aspects.

Things are even worse now that champion design has moved away from point-and-click CC to skillshots; Yi's immunity to slows, insane movespeed, and random teleport/invincibility with Alpha Strike means that, essentially, you can't hit him with skillshots.

Which is also why things like Amumu/WW are great against Yi. It's pretty much fail safe.

out of curiosity, how fast are you guys getting your items up on yi jg. for me, FF comes up at around 17 min (15 min if i have kills). I typically have enough for 2.5-3 core items (FF/ghost/cutlass) around the 22-25 min mark

I feel that getting close to 20 stacks by 10 minutes is not too difficult at all. The other 10 stacks will take some effort because I will be "distracted" by things such as dragons and tower sieges, so it largely varies.

Just don't make it into flare too early, you want to get bork before you even think about transforming it imo

I like to smash jngl yi with Trundle. Moreover i always mostly go for a earlyganker when I have to jngl vs feral flare newbs, my favorite atm is Eve. We often end up with a huge earlygame Advantage through kills, first drake and so on. If you've done a good Job, the opponent team will immediately start flaming their jngler since he'll never appear early on! :D
But as I figured out, you really need to take the advantage early on, if you mess up you're pretty **** later. So you either go for a super aggressive early-mid game comb and try to win super fast, or you get an earlyganker with at least a Jax or similar champs and help to feed them. Or you go for a ff-champ too and....yeah. I just don't like it, way too boring for my gamestyle.

In the end it's the usual thing, you just need to adapt to be succesful. Sry for bringing this discussion back, wasn't able to write about the ff-stuff above since I almost never use it.

Beat yi early game (ie before 2-3 items up). Do not let yi get 5-6 items on you
