Aatrox vs Master Yi Matchup Summary

The Aatrox vs Master Yi matchup is a very close matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 45 recent matches analyzed, Aatrox wins with a 51.1% win rate compared to Master Yi's 48.9%, giving Aatrox a 2.2 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Master Yi controls the early laning stage, but Aatrox outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Master Yi needs to press advantages before Aatrox reaches their power spikes, while Aatrox should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Aatrox leads by 0.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Aatrox has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Master Yi's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
