Jinx vs Master Yi Matchup Summary

The Jinx vs Master Yi matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Jinx wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Master Yi's 50.0%, giving Jinx a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Jinx controls the early laning stage, but Master Yi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Jinx needs to press advantages before Master Yi reaches their power spikes, while Master Yi should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Jinx leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Jinx 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.
