Master Yi vs Brand Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Brand matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Brand's 40.0%, giving Master Yi a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Master Yi controls the early laning stage, but Brand outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Master Yi needs to press advantages before Brand reaches their power spikes, while Brand should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Brand leads by 1.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi players can confidently pick into Brand and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Brand away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

568Master Yi
802Brand
Brand heavily out-damages Master Yi by 233 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Master Yi should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Brand's sustained damage advantage take over.

9,995Brand
Master Yi generates a commanding 1,619 more gold per game than Brand. This substantial economic advantage means Master Yi consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.2Master Yi
1.5Brand
Brand brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 1.3 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.

Sustain
1,248Master Yi
580Brand
Master Yi vastly out-sustains Brand, healing and mitigating 668 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.

Master Yi dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Brand. This lopsided early game means Master Yi can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

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

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Master Yi must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Brand reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Brand 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.
