Countering Yi as Ryze?

[quote=BluAnimal]Most likely [[rod of ages]]. That's how most AP mids are built (I personally have no experience with Ryze, sorry) It'll probably be an order like: [[catalyst the protector]] > [[rod of ages]] [[hextech revolver]] Core items here [[will of the ancients]] You'll probably hold onto the revolver for a while, before making it into a WoA. If someone who has some experience playing Ryze would like to clarify this?[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][[Boots of Speed]] -> [[Catalyst the Protector]] -> [[Tear of the Goddess]] -> [[Mercury's Treads]]/[[Sorcerer's Shoes]](/[[Ninja Tabi]]) -> [[Negatron Cloak]]/[[Glacial Shroud]] -> [[Rod of Ages]] -> [[Negatron Cloak]]/[[Glacial Shroud]] -> [[Frozen Heart]] -> [[Banshee's Veil]] -> [[Archangel's Staff]] -> (Situational Item) Situational items: [list] [*] [[Will of the Ancients]] [*] [[Void Staff]] [*] [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]] [*] [s][[Athene's Unholy Grail]][/s] (just no) [*] [[Abyssal Scepter]] [*] [[Zhonya's Hourglass]] [*] [[Rabadon's Deathcap]] [/list][/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]Since ryze is dps I think that after catalyst and tear the revolver should fit in nicely if you find yourself needing more sustainability than your ultimate can provide. Then finish roa. After this, if I am not taking way too much damage I build another catalyst. If I need the def I go negatron and glacial.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD]Its situational, not core. Agaisnt most adversaries he doesnt need it[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]God, I lost top against an AD Yi as Ryze yesterday because I got ganked every 5 seconds. 4 minutes in I received a 3 man gank, and I got ganked by their mid Diana like 4 times after that in the space of 8 minutes too. After the third gank I had enough gold to buy wards so I did, I placed them in the river, and not even 10 seconds after I'd done that their [[Diana]] appeared on my ward heading to the tri-brush ( I was blue team ). I ran back to my tower and waited for her to leave. I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. She still wouldn't appear on my ward or re-appear on her lane, so I decided to check the tri-brush in case she'd just recalled. Turns out she was actually just a very patient person, and she burst me to death in like 2 seconds. T_T Then my team raged at me because apparently a 0/5 Ryze losing in a straight 1v1 to a 4/0 Yi is noob.[/quote]

[quote=Anastasios]I didn't see anyone mention it, so i thought i would: If you are against AP Yi, a huge problem is that you don't have any CC to stop his [[meditate]], so he can just Q, then W through all your damage, then Q again or walk away.[/quote]
