Master Yi Counters Summary (Continued)

The best champions out of lane to counter Master Yi include Zeri, Kai'Sa, and Ezreal. These champions are all good at countering Master Yi with win rates over 55%. Even if these Master Yi counter picks are not chosen in the same position as you, it's not a good idea to take him into any of these matchups. They will most often crush Master Yi.

How to Counter Master Yi

Capitalize on Master Yi's weak early game. He'll be focusing on farming, leaving him with less impact unless you overextend or overstay. Use this to your advantage and apply pressure in the early stages of the game.

Watch out for his Q and W abilities. Master Yi can use them to drop tower aggro and take reduced tower damage, making tower dives risky. Try to interrupt his W ability with hard CC and he could be killed almost instantly.

Keep your CC for when Master Yi's Ultimate R goes active. He can shift the tide of a fight if left unchecked, but is very susceptible to crowd control. If you save your CC for him, he will be in serious trouble.

Disengage when Master Yi's Ultimate R is active. He can't do much if your team pulls back. Use this to avoid major damage and wait until his Ultimate R is off before you engage again.

Master Yi is a formidable scaler. If he manages to get his items and hit mid-to-late game, he can be nearly unstoppable. Try to deny him as much farm as possible to prevent him from snowballing.

Be aware of Master Yi's ability to take down major objectives. If he gets ahead, he can even solo the Baron. Keep control over objectives and prevent him from getting these critical advantages.

Despite his strength, Master Yi relies heavily on his Q for successful all-ins. The usage and timing of this ability can dictate the game's outcome. Consider this when strategizing on how to counter him.
