Master Yi Matchups Overview

Master Yi General information

Master Yi tips and tricks

When laning against ranged champions, try and limit how much chip damage you take from them via auto-attacks.

Use your Alpha StrikeQ to dodge incoming skill shots and CC by enemy laners. You can also use your Alpha StrikeQ to dodge tower shots as well.

Keeping the wave closer to your side of the lane in the very early game will allow you to pick up farm and potentially all-in the enemy. If you’re constantly pushing, you will find it hard to all-in an enemy.
