Master Yi vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Vi matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 188 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Vi's 50.0%, giving Master Yi a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vi controls the early laning stage, but Master Yi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vi 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 Vi leads by 0.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Vi's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
718Master Yi
635Vi

Sustain
1,151Master Yi
1,396Vi
Vi vastly out-sustains Master Yi, healing and mitigating 246 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Master Yi is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Master Yi, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Berserker's Greaves is the optimal boots choice against Vi, providing the mobility and stats Master Yi needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Master Yi against Vi are The Collector, Kraken Slayer and Infinity Edge. This combination gives Master Yi an effective balance of damage, survivability, and utility for the matchup.

Vi dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 53.7% win rate — a 7.3 percentage point lead over Master Yi. This lopsided early game means Vi can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Master Yi is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 52.8% win rate — 5.7 points above Vi. Extended games heavily favor Master Yi, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

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