your best bet is a good jungler he won't start with a ward, agressive junglers work best

i played irelia and beat a yorick just yesterday : you lose any trade before level 5 trying is useless, well for me at least and i go  AS red and  armor quints ( yeah not best quints vs yorick  but eh normals, armor quints work best for me on irelia for her early)

rush a phage on irelia vs yorick,  your best bet imo, then hide in bushes  adn make him facecheck or double dash on him bladesurge near death creep > bladesurge yorick >  hiten style hit him he should hit back , equilibrium ,  ignite and keep attacking phage proc should allow you to kill him before he reaches tower

for riven : same use bushes  and get double or triple doran early to break him down before he touches the tower, no harass , use bushes to go in  totally and kill him outright you lose if you play a harass game

you could go for a phage on riven too for procs, i just don't like it on riven since i play her dorans then BT   for burst  on ganks mid, just a personal preference
