Master Yi vs Aphelios Matchup Summary
The Master Yi vs Aphelios matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Aphelios wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Master Yi's 40.0%, giving Aphelios a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Aphelios controls the early laning stage, but Master Yi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Aphelios 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 Aphelios leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Aphelios has a strong advantage in this matchup. Master Yi players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Aphelios overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Early Game vs Late Game
Master Yi0.0%Aphelios100.0%Master Yi50.0%Aphelios50.0%Aphelios dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Master Yi. This lopsided early game means Aphelios can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.
Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Master Yi at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Aphelios. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.
The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Aphelios has the edge early, but Master Yi gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
