Firstly tier 1 runes are so ridiculously cheap that although everyone always goes "don't buy runes until T3" I don't really understand why they don't get the small boost, it's like one win of IP to get a full page >.<

I'm unsure who you were in the situation you described? at first you're getting owned by yi and then you're playing yi xD Playing against yi he's fairly weak if you can get him to waste highlander- most yi players blow wuju style at the same time, making him deadly for the first 10 seconds but then giving you a fairly large window of shit champion while wuju's on cooldown as he doesn't get its passive damage (unless he gets a kill or assist obviously). Focusing on escaping but keeping him exposed for the period of time it takes for both abilities to run out is the key if you possibly can, he's hella fast but most movement abilities and flash are faster and once those abilities are blown most yi's overcommit massively, letting you tear him apart with CC once the time's up on his ult (Which is even shorter since the patch)

And obviously if you still have trouble fighting him due to other people giving him kills, you just grab a thornmail, regardless of champ and life becomes so much better, heck it might even just be worth buying regardless if there's a yi anywhere in the game
