Master Yi
Champions that beat Master Yi
- Bel'Vethjungle
Master Yi has no early CC and Alpha Strike (Q) untargetability is short. Bel'Veth wins the early jungle skirmishes before he reaches the Highlander (R) plus Wuju Style (E) power spike, then converts the lead into objectives.
- Camilletop
The Hextech Ultimatum (R) arena lock prevents Meditate (W) channel from saving him, and Precision Protocol (Q2) true damage executes through Highlander (R). Hookshot (E) knockup cancels Alpha Strike (Q) mid-dash.
- Ekkojungle
Pre-6 ganks at level 3 with Parallel Convergence (W) + Phase Dive (E) + Timewinder (Q) catch Master Yi while he farms camps. Meditate (W) channel gets interrupted by the W stun, snowballing the gold lead Ekko needs by minute 14.
- Elisejungle
Master Yi cannot duel before Highlander (R) is online. Elise level-3 invade with Volatile Spiderling (W) plus Neurotoxin (Q) chunks him while he farms camps, and Cocoon (E) stun interrupts Meditate (W) channel for the kill.
- Fiddlesticksjungle
Master Yi scales linearly with farm but cannot punish Fiddle's pre-6 farm window. Once Crowstorm (R) flanks from fog, Highlander (R) chase cannot escape the Reap (E) silence zone, and Bountiful Harvest (W) out-sustains Wuju Style (E) burst.
- Gragasjungle
Body Slam (E) stun stops the Alpha Strike (Q) reset chain mid-dash, and Explosive Cask (R) knocks him off the carry during Highlander (R) movement-speed window. Meditate (W) channel is interruptible — one Barrel Roll (Q) hit cancels the heal.
- Gwenjungle
Hallowed Mist (W) denies the Alpha Strike (Q) target lock during the all-in; he commits, eats the Snip Snip! (Q) true damage cone in mist, and has no second escape because Highlander (R) move-speed cannot outrun A Thousand Cuts (P) DOT.
- Ivernjungle
Friend of the Forest (P) grove mechanic skips camp fights entirely; while Master Yi grinds Double Strike (P) autos on monsters, Ivern is already shielding lanes with Triggerseed (E) by level 5. Rootcaller (Q) locks Yi mid-Alpha Strike (Q) chain on the return cast.
- Kindredjungle
Master Yi wants 3 items before he activates — Kindred mark-hunts his jungle and chunks him at level 2. Mounting Dread (E) slow holds him during Meditate (W) channel, and Wolf's Frenzy (W) plus auto chain shreds him before Highlander (R) speed kicks in.
- Lee Sinjungle
Sonic Wave (Q) plus Resonating Strike (Q2) chunk Master Yi pre-6 before Wit's End comes online; Dragon's Rage (R) kicks him off your carry, denying Highlander (R) takedown cooldown refunds on Q/W/E.
- Malzaharmid
Nether Grasp (R) locks Master Yi in place for 2.5s and ignores Highlander (R) slow immunity because suppression is a separate CC type. Call of the Void (Q) silence cancels Wuju Style (E) toggle and Malefic Visions (E) DOT spreads while Yi is locked.
- Rammusjungle
Frenzying Taunt forces Master Yi to basic-attack into Defensive Ball Curl reflect, and Wuju Style true damage autos feed the magic-damage reflect at maximum rate. Alpha Strike multi-target dash cannot save him during the taunt window,
- Rek'Saijungle
Void Rush goes untargetable for the cast window, dodging Master Yi's Alpha Strike re-emerge auto and denying his Wuju Style true-damage burst. Max-Fury Furious Bite true damage then deals damage through Meditate channel heal,
- Skarnerjungle
Impale (R) locks Master Yi in place and drags him out of position, ignoring Highlander (R) slow immunity because suppression is a separate CC type. Shattered Earth / Upheaval (Q) terrain pillars block Alpha Strike (Q) bounce paths and Ixtal's Impact (E) stuns Yi mid-dash.
- Tahm Kenchtop
Master Yi commits Highlander R for the move-speed and slow-immunity steroid that his entire fight depends on. Tahm Devour R swallows him mid-Highlander, the steroid timer keeps burning while he is stomached,
- Trundlejungle
Yi's Meditate W channel heal gets interrupted by Pillar of Ice E blocking his Alpha Strike Q re-engage path. Subjugate R steals the Armor that Wuju Style E true damage cannot regenerate, Highlander R move speed cannot pass through the Pillar wall,
- Volibearjungle
Master Yi Alpha Strike (Q) only dashes to enemies after clearing the jungle, so Volibear Thundering Smash (Q) plus level 3 invade lands the first-auto stun before Yi can Alpha out. Frenzied Maul (W) double bite chunks him before Highlander (R) attack speed window opens.
Champions Master Yi beats
- Gravesjungle
Alpha Strike (Q) makes Master Yi untargetable mid-New Destiny (P) shotgun cone; Highlander (R) move-speed kites Quickdraw (E) dash. Once 25-minute item spike hits, his on-hit DPS outscales Graves lethality build past Quickdraw (E) armor cap.
- Karthusjungle
Alpha Strike (Q) crosses 600 units and goes untargetable mid-dash, ignoring Wall of Pain (W) slow setup. Karthus has no escape once Highlander (R) commits, and Coup de Grace cleans him up under 40% HP before Requiem (R) can channel.
- Sorakasupport
Wuju Style (E) true damage cuts through Salvation (P) sustain and Highlander (R) speed catches Soraka before Wish (R) channel completes. Starcall (Q) silence is short and Equinox (E) root zone is dodgeable on Alpha Strike (Q) untargetable frames.
- Veigarmid
Alpha Strike (Q) crosses 600 units and goes untargetable mid-dash, dodging Event Horizon (E) cage edge stun. Veigar has no escape once Highlander (R) commits, and Coup de Grace cleans him up under 40% HP before Primordial Burst (R) finisher.
- Yuumisupport
Wuju Style (E) true damage cuts through Yuumi's ADC shielding and Highlander (R) catches her before You and Me! (W) attach swap completes. Final Chapter (R) channel breaks under Alpha Strike (Q) bounce and Zoomies (E) shield only mitigates one auto.
- Ziggsbot
Alpha Strike (Q) crosses 600 units and goes untargetable mid-dash, dodging Bouncing Bomb (Q) and Hexplosive Minefield (E) detonations. Ziggs has no escape once Highlander (R) commits, and Satchel Charge (W) knock-back is dodgeable on Yi's dash frames.
