Master Yi vs Sion Matchup Summary
The Master Yi vs Sion matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 34 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 55.9% win rate compared to Master Yi's 44.1%, giving Sion a 11.8 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Sion controls the early laning stage, but Master Yi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Sion 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 Sion leads by 1.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Sion 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 Sion 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.
