Cuz I dont want be feel bad about being 1 shotted 5 times in a match by a Heimer while playing Master Yi.

The dude was literally in his own world, ended 21-4 in a match they lost easily since his whole team was inting hard.

Stun then 1 shot, can't even meditate that holy ....

Are you diving a Heimer with 3 turrets up with your Q as Yi? The ability that predictably puts you right next to him for an easy stun, in range of all his Turrets beams, his RW and then more beams?

Just looked at their game, seem the double jungle strat didn't work. :P

So you have seen it xD Amumu was support the whole match as I side note.

But yeah you are right, evertime was his stun setting up the 1 shot combo. I honestly don't know how to deal with that stun as a melee.

Bait. He's dependent on his turrets more than you think for damage output since his rework last year. In the case of Yi, you are screwed IF you engage with Q.

Don't Q to him to engage, just run at him, his E is his only CC and it's not the easiest to land. If you are a moving target it's harder obviously and he needs to hit the centre for it to stun else it'll just slow you, something a Yi can handle but watch his animations, you can't be hit by the stun if he does it while you are in Alpha. Q into him when he throws it.

Other option is to get him away from his turrets, which greatly lowers his damage output and mean's he's not 'safe' anymore but that's harder as Yi, you need a poker to do that.

Yes. It happens. Especially if you're new to top lane and get paired against a trolly heim, it can be very tilting. So if you did have to suffer and either won the game or still won the laning phase, that just makes it feel all the more rewarding since you can say "I won despite that god damn gnome."

I myself have oddly found Nasus of all champs as a good counter pick for him in the top lane.

Will be honest yi has the perfect kit to deal with a donger (not in lane obvs), one of the most annoying thing to have picked against me for a few reasons: All of this is assuming you're relatively even. If the donger is stupidly fed like he appeared to be in that game, you just needed to farm farm farm and grab a QSS or visage.

  1. my one hard CC spell, is unreliable. It's small pre 6, has a slow af animation and isn't a projectile like his W (as in it will go right over you if you keep running)
  2. Your Q will generally one shot my Q turrets and allow you to dodge my CC unless I land a third bounce E (so you're far enough away that you can't Q me or I ult E after u Q)
  3. My ult Q is useless as you will kill me before it kills you. If I hourglass you can shred my turret then finish me off after stasis.
  4. My ult W is relatively short range, easy to dodge with Q or running to the side (with R active) and deals less damage than ult E

So I have one spell, that I must land and you must not dodge for me to win. I must use ult E to maximize the hitbox size and chance of stunning you. If I land it, I win because it will refuel turret lasers and I can land W easily. If I miss it under specific circumstances other than being stupidly fed. I must have turrets set up and spread just right, almost laser ready (so by hitting you they'll fully charge), I'm under tower and can use a stasis item and have spare turrets to place if you kill all the initial turrets. There is nothing I can build that will change that because as long as we're relatively even, you will decimate me and/or my turrets.

yep, but I once had an insane game mid with the old Irelia and other older MR items where I shut him down so hard he raged quit, was very satisfying to say the least. you could tell he wasn't used to losing as heimer.

Wait until he only has turrets around him, not minions. If they're close enough together, your Q should kill the turrets.

As YI, there are plenty options. First off, hold your alpha and rely on the ult ms to close the gap so you can use the Q to dodge his stun. Try to kill his towers first, he needs them for the damage, if he has no towers and lands the stun, you should easily be able to survive If you still have trouble with the stun, take item 3140 , use the active to clenase the stun and either use alpha to doge the lazors+rockets, or simply meditate for the damagereduction. The MR also helps quite a bit. With some more mr and lifesteal, you can easily take his towers without takeing real damage as long as you dodge his other skills, which should be easy if you're not in point blank range. item 3194 greatly reduces his damage, and yi can actually aford a defensive item like that after bloodsrazor+guinsoo's cause his damage is stupidly high already.

Yeah when you don't have vision of him, you'd better not go anywhere near unwarded bushes.

What I find annoying is that Heimer can still survive when someone dives him. Its like he is one of the few anti-assassin champs, but in a healthy way.
