Master Yi vs Diana Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Diana matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 47 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 61.7% win rate compared to Diana's 38.3%, giving Master Yi a 23.4 percentage point advantage. Master Yi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Diana 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 Diana leads by 0.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
