if he has q up, dont poke him with it
you can't play 1 champ the same way in every matchup, that's not common sense
u KNOW why u lost so why arent u playing around it, u even get to slow his attack speed if he's not ulting, and if he does u get a "get out of jail free" with ur ult
can u help me drhax
I'm positive this is coming from an objective place and has absolutely nothing to do with who you've been duoing with.
What had happened, for those who do want to learn from this, was I was overconfident. I was a Malphite who never played the match-up before, and I assumed I would completely outpoke him from lane by starting flask, 2 health pots, 1 mana pot. In lanes where you can All-In and outpoke as Malphite, I max Q over E. This is one where I did that, and that was a big mistake. But the more important part was the summoner spells. Yi went Ignite and Exhaust, two combat summoners. I went flash teleport, both very useful, both do very very little to fight a Master Yi. Master Yi and Pantheon are tied for the highest base movement speed in the game, 355, so once Yi saw me use my E to push the wave forward a bit and last hit, he knew that was his time to simply walk up to me, in a long lane like top, and abuse the hell out of me. With whatever crazy amount of attack speed he already got from runes (let's say 30+%?), and the ability to slow me with exhaust, I died. My second mistake was deciding that Thornmail was the right call. Sunfire OR Randuins would've been better options, but the guy who I get advice from who knew the match up better was playing our bottom lane, and he told me Thorn would work best.
Once Yi got Bilgewater Cutlass on his first back, the lane was completely lost. But I figured if I farmed well my usefulness in team fights would carry more weight. The problem was I didn't play pragmatically from that point and use my noggen. I wasn't useful for my team because I itemized poorly, and against only the Yi. No early HG + Sorc Shoes combo meant my Ult wouldn't do enough, and just my bad health pool in general meant I would have to commit fully to fights I knew I'd die in. After Yi got a jungler to dive me under turret with him, the lane was not only lost but I was unable to stay in it (one he took Tier 1 turret, the lane is too long to stay in). He's too fast, he has ways to slow me, I have no way to get him off me, and he hurts too much. But I wasn't itemized to do much against anyone else either. I was useless.
I only typed that out because it's important to acknowledge your mistakes and I thought maybe the other people in here might learn something from it. I'm not going to be indulging Ryan's transparent attempts at getting under my skin, despite how many of his friends post troll requests for help. That's why, for those wondering, I've been ignoring the silliness. And I'll continue to do so. Hopefully the admin will find something better to do than spend their time on people who are just trying to help others in a game they enjoy.
All the best ;)
