Graves vs Master Yi Matchup Summary

The Graves vs Master Yi matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 192 recent matches analyzed, Graves wins with a 52.1% win rate compared to Master Yi's 47.9%, giving Graves a 4.2 percentage point advantage. Graves dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Master Yi players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Graves leads by 0.4s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Graves 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.
