Master Yi Matchups Overview
Master Yi General information
Master Yi tips and tricks
Focus on farming up a storm in the early game. Get as much gold and XP as quickly as you can so you get your Ultimate R quickly.
Solo objectives like the Dragon or Rift Herald when your allies have priority nearby.
Avoid being trigger happy with your Q. You can use it to dodge skill shots and hard CC, so try to time it appropriately in those sort of scenarios.
