You'd probably want Tiamat before you buy Phage because the more raw damage you have with armor pen the better.

Yeah i feel like Yi can beat this broken Skarner, simply because he's good at destroying tank, (E, Botrk, Lw). And maybe Yoshuo can deal with it too.

Anyone tryed Skarner Top ?


Sorry to say but you're really wrong. Skarner destroys the ever loving shit out of Yi in the jungle, that Yi better pray to the Gods Skarner doesn't find him near a crystal
I'm pretty sure I posted a picture here not so long ago but here it is, bottom 2 are top games

Skarner

No, Cleaver 2nd is better. Remember you have runes, base AD and also base damage (all of which is physical) Some 40 AD item isn't gonna make the armor pen that much worthwhile. And delaying Cleaver means you are missing out on: Max CDR, Armor Shred (Probably landing vs a tank), and MS buff. Also tiamat makes you perma-shove which you might not want until landing phase ends.
You go tiamat if you're winning lane and you start the splitpush. You go bc if you are not winning lane but not losing lane because you're required to perform during teamfights and not get evaporated. You got tiamat if you're losing lane, because fuck it you need to take back the lane and you need maximum damage on riven for that.

Most people run cdr blues on riven anyways, so it's not like you need the early 20% cdr anyways.
nyan :3
Youtube Channel i sometimes post videos of other games

You don't need armor shred for early game as they're not actually stacking tons of armor (note: armor pen and armor shred are not the same). You're probably running armor pen runes/masteries and you have armor pen from Brutalizer PLUS you have 10% CDR from runes/masteries, 10% CDR from Brutalizer as well as 15% from CDR boots. Also the build path is quite bad for Cleaver.. Tiamat is just more optimal as a 2nd item.
