Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Ezreal wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Master Yi's 40.0%, giving Ezreal a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Ezreal controls the early laning stage, but Master Yi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Ezreal needs to press advantages before Master Yi reaches their power spikes, while Master Yi should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Master Yi is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 66.7% win rate — 33.3 points above Ezreal. Extended games heavily favor Master Yi, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Ezreal must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Master Yi reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Master Yi survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
