How to Use Master Yi Counter Data
Every figure on this page, covering both the champions that beat Master Yi and the ones he beats, comes from live ranked Jungle matchup data. At the moment, Tryndamere, Sett, and Trundle give Master Yi the most trouble, with his win rate falling furthest beneath his average in those duels. Tryndamere is the toughest of them: Master Yi takes only 36.1% of the 169 games logged against him. On the other side, Locke, K’Sante, and Zed are matchups where Master Yi holds the edge, which makes them worth targeting during champion select.
Each card displays Master Yi’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it is based on. A figure drawn from tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags are derived from the win rates themselves: under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is labeled Easy. They help with quick reading and are not a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and higher across every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so the numbers shift as the meta does. Matchups are only part of the decision, so review the current Master Yi build for the best items and runes, or visit the Master Yi champion page for ability details and the full breakdown.
