Master Yi vs Brand Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Brand matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 42 recent matches analyzed, Brand wins with a 54.8% win rate compared to Master Yi's 45.2%, giving Brand a 9.5 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Brand controls the early laning stage, but Master Yi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Brand 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 Brand leads by 0.8s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Brand 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 Brand 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.

Damage
970Master Yi
888Brand
Master Yi heavily out-damages Brand by 82 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Brand should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Master Yi's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
14,997Master Yi
13,379Brand
Master Yi generates a commanding 1,619 more gold per game than Brand.

Utility
0.2Master Yi
1.0Brand
Brand brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 0.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Brand far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Master Yi should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,295Master Yi
797Brand
Master Yi vastly out-sustains Brand, healing and mitigating 497 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Master Yi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Brand is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Brand, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Best Master Yi Build Against Brand

Berserker's Greaves is the optimal boots choice against Brand, providing the mobility and stats Master Yi needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Master Yi against Brand are Kraken Slayer, Blade of The Ruined King and Guinsoo's Rageblade. This combination gives Master Yi an effective balance of damage, survivability, and utility for the matchup. This build performs exceptionally well, achieving a 75.0% win rate across 4 games — well above average and making it the top item path against Brand. Adjustments may be needed based on team compositions and game state, but this build provides the strongest foundation for the Master Yi vs Brand matchup.

Brand dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Master Yi. This lopsided early game means Brand can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

In the late game (25+ minutes), Master Yi takes over with a 51.9% win rate, leading Brand by 3.7 percentage points. Master Yi scales more effectively into team fights and objective contests.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Brand 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.
