WTF is this shit? I mean might as well just remove turrets because they serve no purpose at all.

tbh you didn't do damage to him at all

turrets are there to support you, not to do all of the Damage.

He/She/AppacheHeli should have fought the Yi as soon as he got under turret.

But holy hell he stood there for long!

RocketRelm6 votes

Yi soaked 7 turret shots. I personally feel like the Riven should have used the knock-up on the Q to cc the Yi (both of the times). The second one with the Flash-Q3 was especially silly ( why use the Q3 after flash? Flash already got you away).

Still, though, 7 turret shots is a lot.

5 turret shots. The 6th was when he meditated. Riven does damage him under the turret which is probably what you saw. Unless I'm totally blind, which is also possible.

JJI7442 votes

No, you got it, the 6th shot missed due to Alpha, the 7th hit during meditate.

not to mention that yi had a good amount of health which should mean a defense item but no items were shown

Plus he was lifestealing too. He at least had a bilgewater cutlass if not a botrk. Even used the active.

No, turrets should be there to do the dmg and punish dives EARLY, when you need it. This is especially the case for defensive or passive champs, such as Urgot(Urgot can bully, but mostly has to play safe these days).

If you get dived as Urgot early, there's literally nothing you can do. You have to rely on the turret completely, and that's how it should be for EARLY GAME.

As it's dmg falls off in mid/lategame, it supports you(midgame) and lategame you end up supporting them. Though turrets are still weak overall at any point in the game nonetheless.

Yea, but a supposedly squishy champ took 7 shots of the turret.....

7...... A squishy......

Shadòw3 votes

it were 5 shots that went fully through, the 6th was blocked by his Q and the 7th was weakened by his W.

the only problem i see with turrets are that champions like for example Rammus can tank the same amount of shots and still have 90%HP if no other Damage sources are there.

Matake1 votes

Sorry but tank Yi is OP as hell.

ChaddyFantome35 votes

To be fair, the mistake you made was not saving your stuns and q3s for hitting him under tower or cancelling his W.

Doesn't make your point about turrets any less valid tho.

So you got outplayed and played horribly?

I'm not even sure Riven would've been given a kill in that instance, she missed everything, probably would've been an execute.

SirTeemoMushroom4 votes

she was 1 fart away from death. (which she died anyway...) why risk it when she can dodge his autos and run around the tower until he dies? which.. ok didn't happent but at least tried

lilpokfluf2 votes

No she didn't she walks back towards him. She had won that fight although the probably would have executed since she couldn't land shit lol

If Top tower does so little, I cannot imagine what Bot tower has to offer.

Oh wait. I can imagine it because I've been buttfucked by 4 man ganks as the Support all through Season 6.

DragonShea3 votes

LOL Priceless man, priceless.

Duke Anax1 votes

Not the point here. He doesn't whine about being outplayed.

He comlains that Yi could almost ignore the turret.

When I did something like that with Yi in S4, gettign the kill or not, the tower killed me for sure.

Danjeng10 votes

Turrets are made of plastic, but this video does not prove your point well. You got your ass outplayed by Yi.

H4RD MODE? More like E4ZY MODE. Work on your timing. The first stun you casted was during his alpha. Also at 0:19, why would you dash torwards Yi? You should have stayed on the other side of the turret. Your ultimate was up by that time.

Rename the video and upload to a certain other site "Riven misplays and gets shat on by Yi"

Adriqnohee1 votes

Meh, he outplayed himself there, Yi mostly pressed his right click and did a good Q, but most of what happened there was the Riven's fault, but still a Master Yi tanking 6 towers shots (even if one of them had the damage reduced by meditate) is still a lot, specially at level 9.

Elohaven10 votes

Here's my take:

1 | I agree with your latter statement that your misplay with your mechanics was a large contributor to this but... 2 | Your point is still valid as 7 turret shots at level 9 and surviving is retarded as Yi isn't a tank. He's an assassin. He should be able to be popped easily. This simply means turret suck booty.

ModAcademy Kayn7 votes

He's not an assassin unless's he's extremely fed. Yi is a skirmisher. The main reason he isn't a primary Assassin, is that he doesn't have an escape outside of just "Running".

DragonShea4 votes

Noir does he have any legit burst. just one multi hit attack, a true damage ability and ult that is an sterriod.

Love how people are ignoring the biggest part of the video here... Yes the Riven missed like 3ish CC abilities that might have helped win that trade. That isn't the issue here, does no one acknowledge that Yi full on took 6 turret shots and didn't even care? That is Bruiser status amount of shots... "Turrets are there to Support you not Deal Damage" that is bs why even do damage then? Why not just slow them ramping up to a root or something instead then? They are there to Support you, support you not getting dove by one squishy champion who has no tank items... 6 turrets shots is too much for any non-bruiser or tank...

This is actually a very good idea. Would really come in handy for the mobility creep that is a plague to this game.

It would be interesting, not sure how balanced it would be lol

You're playing Riven though, no sympathy.

General Esdeath 6 votes

I don't know why everyone is talking about you missing CC, that Yi took 6 TURRET SHOTS. What the hell is this?

agbudar6 votes

I remember a time where turrets would single handedly 3 shot a Yi like that.

4635 votes

You missed your CC abilities like 3 times in that skrim alone.

Might as well uninstall your league, because you serve no purpose at all to your teams.

SirTeemoMushroom4 votes

why i have to see you in every single post and talking shit to people?

4632 votes

Cause calling people out on their poor mentality is interesting.

I wanna know why they believe that a lost or death was never their own fault.

I can word my comments a lot better. But I don't care about sugar coating, and it's unfortunate that everyone just sees my opinions as attacks on them. When you're hardstuck and you need a reality check, but refuse to swallow your pride because I came off as an asshole.

I would react the same way too, but at least I forced them to think about it in a different light. But it's funny, because when people on Gameplay boards are presented with a solid stance on how they could improve / played better, they'll either take it for granted or take it as offense. It's the most hilarious thing ever and it's one of the reasons why I act so cynical when these dumb ass threads show up.

No one was hurt at the end of the day, why do you care so much about the tone of my comments?

RocketRelm10 votes

To be fair, the person opened the OP with "Yes I know my play was trash". Your comment serves literally no purpose, this isn't you not sugar coating "you played bad, it's just my opinion and a reality check brah", because the OP knew this from the outset.

The singular sole purpose of your comment is to berate the player and to be an asshole. It has nothing to do with giving people a reality check.

Troll for Trump5 votes

It's not yi outplaying Riven as it is Riven outplaying herself. She keeps trying to make prediction plays that would probably work in high elo, but in low elo, people don't move as obviously.

Duke Anax1 votes

Not the point here, it doesn't matter how Riven played, the issue here is that a squishy Yi took six tower shots and lived (and even dodged another)

Knalxz4 votes

I understand if a tank we're to just eat tower shots, but when an assassin dives you, there has to be some sort of reason to why towers should be feared.

DragonShea3 votes

Under normal circumstances people would be like "WTF!"

But since champion rep matter here, and regards to Riven. It's gonna range from Zero Fuck given to schadenfreude :D.

Zerenza2 votes

To be fair you were both level 9, at about level 9 tower's become worthless in most cases. But i do see your point, you did put up a good fight though lol

Vanic9982 votes

Just curious, would it be a good idea if the turret dealt increasing damage after the 3rd shot?

sobi9992 votes

You're a good riven :D

Loved the flash and shield on time. Good work and yh turrets are trash but some people are figuring it out now. Plus that turret is top whilst bot is even weaker :D

Bladerunner77772 votes

I actually smiled and exhaled air through my nose and mouth simultaneously, which is not a normal sensation I get on these boards.

PiVoRx2 votes

I dont know what is more hilarious, this post or the fact that Riven got fucked by Yi top.

Perma CC2 votes

What he lived with like 8% hp... now imagine if you actually did damage to him to punish him for the dive... All I saw you do is run while he was under your tower. Nothing about what i just saw seemed unbalanced... THE yi was actually super fucking bad and got lucky that you were even worse. If you had autoed or even cc'd him once under tower you prob would have got the kill and lived.

sobi9991 votes

I just had a game where a lvl 5 alistar was diving us under turret, taking 5 hits and letting his adc get double kill whilst the turret tickles him. I told adc , that its better to lose the turret than feed them xD...

and no the adc had no kills xD so wasn't fed!

Scary Door1 votes

While Riven misplayed it a bit there. No one should be taking SIX fucking tower shots without any armor and surviving. That's insane.

Necroed post. Saw this when it was posted 5 months ago but funny enough still 100% relevant now
