Master Yi vs Lux Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Lux matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 77.8% win rate compared to Lux's 22.2%, giving Master Yi a 55.6 percentage point advantage. Master Yi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Lux 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 Lux leads by 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi players can confidently pick into Lux and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Lux away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Utility
0.0Master Yi
1.2Lux
Lux brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Lux far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
835Master Yi
475Lux
