Master Yi vs Shaco Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Shaco matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 147 recent matches analyzed, Shaco wins with a 50.3% win rate compared to Master Yi's 49.7%, giving Shaco a 0.7 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Shaco controls the early laning stage, but Master Yi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Shaco 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 Shaco leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. While Shaco is slightly favored, Master Yi can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Shaco's mistakes. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
